Asian Girls Hair Types

In all my days of doing hair/makeup, I’ve noticed that Asian women have these different types of hair.

Thick hair:
- thick, curly, wavy and impossible to get 100% straight
- thick, tons of hair, impossible to keep curled

Thin hair:
- super thin, no volume hair, impossible to stay curled
- no hair, super thin hair almost to the point of balding
- thin, dry and damaged hair

I think the majority of people have trouble with volume, getting it in the right places at least! I’ve heard of an interesting tactic of cutting a strand of hair to about 2-3 inches underneath the top part of your head, and then perming it so it will always give you volume! Maybe I’ll try that one day. 

However, here is a more temporary tactic you can use for random occasions.  You basically roll up a strand of hair and pin it down with a bobbypin. Then you put the rest of your hair over it and hairspray it so it stays put! 

You won’t have to worry about your hair losing volume because the “bump” will keep it up! This would be an alternative to teasing–which can be damaging to your hair if you do it too much. (Although I personally love to teaaase!).

To have silky hair like this requires wonderful products. 

We recommend using Menkoi Healing Elixir which will strengthen your hair and give it a natural healthy shine

Volume with: Menkoi Powder Puff

Dry Shampoo, the name just says everything it's literally shampoo with no water needed, it works wonders for the lovely locks that do get more oily.

But if you do look at the ingredients for regular shampoo its filled with all these chemicals that should be in a scientist lab, but the all natural brand Menkoi did come up with a dry shampoo that is "all natural" Menkoi Powder Puff.

The question is, isnt dry shampoo just for getting rid of the oils on your hair "NO" it can actually create volume for,

Girls:Up do's, light curls

Guys:Up hairstyles

Because when hair gets oily it weighs hair down.

How to use it for light airy volume.

What you'll need:

brush

a comb

Menkoi Powder Puff

1) Sprinkle some at the root.

2)And get the brush you can either "brush it out" or "shake it out with the brush" make is easier.

3) Also "tease a little" and you created volume.

Thank you guys for reading, Have a wonderful day.

Please comment on anything that seems confusing.Bye :)

Menkoi Vs. Gatsby?

Many of you guys have always been wondering why do our products compare to the leading Japanese company, Gatsby. Simple. We are compared not only through packaging, label, but also through our products ability to make the hairstyle you want. In my opinion, I do not see why we are compared to their products because Menkoi is so unique in just about any way possible. Let me go ahead and explain everything to you. I just woke up thinking about this so please excuse my mistakes.Thank god for spell check!

Menkoi Packaging/Shipping: Many of the graphics are designed by Chris Halina, but we also have a wonderful graphic designer, Annie Zeng, whenever we are in need. We can say the packaging is simple, yet elegant. Menkoi hair waxes are packaged in a stainless steel 3" by 3" container that we purchase locally in Louisiana. The labels are all hand-placed meaning we do not use any machinery in Menkoi. We wrap the wax in clear wrap to give the feel of " bubble gum wrapping". The wrapping is meant for display and also to secure the wax from being damaged or expose to air for long periods of time. It is organic after all. Each package is checked to see if quality is perfect before we ship it out to the customers. We usually ship our products within 3-4 days but give us 1-2 days to make your product since we are "made to order".

Scent: Menkoi has been open since January 1 2012, buy has gotten some publicity. Mainly on the scent, as if its "something you would eat that's really good." Each product has a very unique smell due to the natural fragrance we used as well as the organic natural oils as we infuse all ingredients. The fragrance are all natural oils of course, nothing really that is artificial. Simple version. Our products "smell so good you would want to just eat it"- StillNotDavid. :)

Ingredients: Menkoi ingredients are certified organic and natural. Our supplier has been in business since 1987 and Menkoi trust their system and the products they produce for us.
By organic i mean :

1. Certified organic or pesticide free plants which were harvested in a sound, and sustainable manner
2. A lovely, tasty, effective and consistent product that exceeds customers expectations
3. A product that is proven safe through quantitative analysis

 We also have a mini herb area in our Menkoi lab that produces rosemary, theme, mint, as well as different fruits. We do use them and put them into the Menkoi products.

The list can go on and on.

Simple explaination: We do not use machinery. We are handcrafted. We do not use chemicals, only certified organic natural raw material.We want you to know each one of our product is a masterpiece and we believe we can change the hair product industry for the better. Not for us, but for the people and their beautiful hair.

Benefits of Organic Hair Products

Benefits of Using Organic Hair Products

By: Aysha Schurman

Organic hair products are no longer just for stereotypical hippies or celebrities on a crusade. As various societies become more concerned with environmental issues, people are buying more products that help limit overall chemical intake or pollution. Though organic hair products have the obvious benefit of being environmentally friendly, there are also far more complicated rewards.

Always be careful when purchasing organic care products, though. Unless the product has a government seal for being certified organic, or has a stamp that says it's 100 percent organic, it probably contains chemicals. Many natural and organic products have a majority of healthy ingredients, with some very nasty chemical ingredients mixed in.

Better for environment
It's a basic fact that the more you process and alter a substance, the more energy you waste and pollution you produce. This is one of the big benefits of organic hair care products. Because the ingredients forgo chemicals and stick with nature, they simply create less damage to the environment. They also tend to be better for washing down the drain, more biodegradable in landfills and safer for animals on either water or land.

Better for personal health
By skipping harsh chemicals, organic hair products are simple better for your body. Every single thing you rub into your skin or coat your hair with goes into your body. Even hair conditioner can rub off on your skin and leave a residue. Good or bad, this chemical-laden residue is processed by the body. The overall effects of this chemical build-up in our bodies are what cause potential medical issues.

Better for hair health
Whatever product you use on your hair will effect your hair, obviously. This is not only true is the short term, but in the long term as well. Though the newest chemical-ridden hair product may produce shine or curl in the short term, regular use usually causes long term damage. However, organic hair products avoid harsh elements, gradually nourishing your hair to its healthiest state. That healthy hair look comes from actual healthy hair.                                 

Better during pregnancy
You should always consult a doctor about potential benefits and problems with everyday products if you become pregnant. Organic hair products, as well as a host of more natural personal care products, are usually a healthy choice for pregnant women. By reducing the number of harmful chemicals and potential allergens, these products help keep both mother and baby safe.

Better to make at home
As anyone who as ever tried to make a modern, chemically processed hair product at home knows, it's difficult if not impossible. However organic hair care products are simple and cheap to make yourself. They usually require a modest amount of easily bought ingredients that are combined in a simple manner.
