Welcome to your new MERVANA ritual

Inspired by the wisdom of the ocean and the purity of the earth, this is your time to reconnect, to nurture your scalp, awaken your senses, and honor your natural beauty through the healing rhythm of self-care. The Mermaid Hair Elixir was formulated to help strengthen your hair strands, balance your scalp to promote healthy growth and luscious hair.

Let’s First Understand the Hair Cycle

Healthy hair growth follows a natural rhythm, a continuous cycle of growth, rest, and renewal.

Each strand passes through three main phases:

Anagen (Growth Phase):

This is when the hair actively grows from the follicle, lasting several years.

Catagen (Transition Phase):

A brief resting period when growth slows and the follicle prepares for renewal.

Telogen (Shedding Phase):

Older hairs naturally release to make room for new growth, it’s normal to shed 50–100 strands per day.

Over time, stress, buildup, and lack of nourishment can disrupt this balance, leaving the scalp tight and the roots less active. Our Mermaid Hair Collection formulas work to moisturize, soothe, and create a balanced environment that supports the natural rhythm of your hair cycle, allowing new strands to emerge stronger, softer, and more vibrant.

How To Use

Mermaid Hair Mist

Mist directly onto the scalp and lengths. Gently massage into the scalp to encourage absorption. Use daily or as needed. No rinsing required.

Mermaid Hair Dry Shampoo

Apply a small amount (or as desired) to dry roots using the puff, let sit briefly, then massage and brush through. Use between washes as needed. If a slight cast is visible, gently brush off. 

Mermaid Hair Elixir

For hair strands, warm a few drops between your palms and smooth through the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair. This helps soften strands, add shine, and protect against dryness. For thick, coarse, or curly hair, apply a bit more as needed to lock in moisture and enhance your natural texture.

As overnight ritual, section your hair and apply the elixir directly onto a dry scalp. Gently massage for at least 5 minutes to help stimulate circulation and nourish the roots. Leave on for several hours or overnight before washing thoroughly. We recommend using a hair wrap for the overnight treatment. Use only 1–2 times per week to allow days for the scalp to breathe naturally. Regular scalp massage helps support circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the follicles.
