About Mai Nami
What makes Mai Nami a wellness-first haircare brand?
Being wellness-first means that every aspect of Mai Nami—from ingredients to design to philosophy—focuses on nourishing and protecting hair as part of a whole-body health and self-care routine, not just styling. Our formulas are free from harmful additives, prioritizing clean, safe ingredients that strengthen and restore hair health. In short, wellness-first haircare means haircare that cares for you—safe, nourishing, minimalist, and designed to simplify routines while honoring your health.
What is Hair Pudding, and how is it different from a regular styling cream or gel?
Hair Pudding is Mai Nami’s hero product—a multi-purpose cream–oil hybrid that nourishes, styles, and simplifies in one step. Unlike typical creams or gels that only coat hair, it delivers deep hydration, frizz control, and soft hold while actively improving texture and resilience over time. Think of it as skincare for your hair: a wellness-first ritual that smooths, strengthens, and enhances your natural beauty with every use.
Why the name “Hair Pudding”?
We call it ‘Hair Pudding’ because its rich, creamy texture feels as indulgent as it is nourishing. Just like a superfood for your hair, it embodies our wellness-first philosophy—feeding strands with clean, high-quality ingredients. One scoop is all it takes to replace a three-step routine, making care feel simple, luxurious, and deeply restorative.
How does Hair Pudding combine both hair care and styling?
Hair Pudding is dual-purpose by design, in a single step:
· Styling: Defines natural waves, calms frizz, and provides soft, touchable hold.
· Care: Infuses hydration, nutrients, and protection with every use, improving texture health over time.
This hybrid approach eliminates the need for multiple products while turning haircare into a simple, elegant ritual.
What hair types is Mai Nami Hair Pudding best for?
Waves, frizz, or thirsty ends — this is for you.
Mai Nami Hair Pudding is designed for wavy hair (2A–2C) and fine-to-medium textures that crave moisture, definition, and a polished, effortless finish.
But this isn’t just for waves:
· Straight Hair: Smooths and seals dry or damaged ends for shine and protection.
· Curly & Coily Hair: Layers beautifully to tame frizz and add lasting hydration.
· Color-Treated or Heat-Styled Hair: Shields and repairs to prevent split ends.
One formula that adapts to every hair type, feeding your strands exactly what they need — no heaviness, no buildup, just healthy, touchable hair.
What results can I expect after using Hair Pudding consistently?
Expect instant refinement and long-term transformation:
- Immediately: Defined waves, reduced frizz, and a touchable, glossy finish.
- Over time: Stronger, more resilient, less reactive hair that’s easier to style. Hair Pudding builds confidence in your natural texture while improving its health.
Can I use Hair Pudding daily?
Yes. It’s lightweight and designed for daily use without weighing your hair down.
Where is Mai Nami Hair Pudding made?
Crafted in the UK.

Usage & Results
How do I use Mai Nami Hair Pudding in my daily routine?
Hair Pudding was designed to simplify your entire routine and can be used in three luxurious ways:
1. Mask Ritual (Deep Nourishment)
- Apply generously to dry or damp hair before washing.
- Leave for 20–30 minutes to deeply hydrate, repair, and strengthen.
- Rinse and style as usual — perfect for a weekly self-care moment.
2. Leave-In Ritual (Daily Styling)
- Smooth a small amount through towel-dried hair after washing.
- Air-dry or diffuse for soft, defined waves and frizz control.
- Replaces your leave-in conditioner, styling cream, and oil.
3. End Sealer (Finishing Touch)
- Apply sparingly to dry ends to seal split ends, smooth fly-aways, and add polish.
- Use anytime to refresh your style and lock in shine.
One jar. Three rituals. Endless ways to nourish, style, and elevate your hair care.
Are Mai Nami products safe for sensitive scalps or skin?
Yes. Our formulas are food-grade and skincare-level safe: no silicones, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or hormone disruptors. They’re designed for those with sensitive scalps, reactive skin, or health concerns in mind.
Will Hair Pudding weigh my hair down or leave buildup?
No. The cream–oil hybrid is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and residue-free, designed for fine-to-medium textures. It feeds hair “only where needed,” leaving it bouncy and soft, not coated or greasy.
What does 'training your texture over time' mean?
Like skincare, consistency matters. Hair Pudding nourishes and strengthens over time, so your hair becomes less frizz-prone, more defined, and easier to style. It’s about supporting your natural texture rather than fighting it.
Should I use it on wet or dry hair?
Both.
- Wet hair: For definition and frizz control.
- Dry hair: To refresh and smooth flyaways.
How much should I use?
Start with a pea-sized amount and build if needed. Wavy hair needs less product than you think.
How do I use Hair Pudding on wash day?
Apply a small amount to damp hair, focusing on your lengths. Scrunch gently and let it air dry or diffuse.
What do I do on second day waves?
Apply a small amount to dry or slightly damp hair and scrunch to refresh your waves and smooth frizz.
Can I diffuse it?
Yes. It works with both air drying and diffusing. Diffusing adds volume and speeds up drying.
Can I layer it with mousse?
Yes, but most people don’t need to. Add mousse if you want extra hold.
Can Hair Pudding help with frizz in humidity?
Yes. It helps seal moisture into your hair, reducing frizz; even in humid conditions.
Can I use Hair Pudding on color-treated or chemically processed hair?
Definitely. Its nutrient-rich, silicone-free formula helps repair and protect compromised strands, making it ideal for bleached, color-treated, or chemically relaxed hair.
How can one jar of Hair Pudding replace my entire multi-product routine?
It’s a 3-in-1 hero:
· Leave-in conditioner to hydrate and detangle
· Styling cream to define texture and control frizz
· Finishing oil to seal, soften, and protect
One jar replaces the need for separate leave-ins, serums, and oils — simplifying your shelf and your routine.
What's the difference between the three rituals - can I do them all in one day?
Mai Nami was designed for three simple rituals to match your mood and schedule:
Spa Mode: A luxurious, deep treatment for self-care days
Leave-In Ritual: Quick styling and nourishment post-wash
Post-Styling Ritual: On-the-go touch-ups and frizz control
You can do them all in a single day or choose one — they’re adaptable and non-overloading, giving your hair what it needs, when it needs it.
Wavy Hair, Frizz & Mai Nami
What is the best product for wavy hair to reduce frizz?
A nourishing cream like Mai Nami Hair Pudding. Frizz is dehydration — Mai Nami feeds the hair and seals moisture so waves stay defined.
What should I put on my wavy hair after showering to keep the waves defined?
Apply Mai Nami Hair Pudding on damp hair right after washing — damp is the moment where moisture is still inside the fiber before sealing.
What if my roots get oily quickly?
Apply only to your mid-lengths and ends. This keeps your hair balanced while maintaining softness and definition.
Is one product enough for wavy hair or do I need gel, cream and oil?
Mai Nami replaces all of them — one step is enough.
Can the Mai Nami Hair Pudding replace leave-in, cream, oil AND gel?
Yes. It simplifies your routine by replacing multiple products in one step; hydration, definition, and shine without buildup.
Can I use Mai Nami Hair Pudding to enhance my natural wavy pattern?
Yes. Consistent use improves pattern memory so your waves become more defined and less reactive to humidity.
Why do stylists recommend cream-based stylers for waves instead of gel?
Because cream stylers keep waves soft and flexible — gels often freeze the hair, which makes waves stiff and unnatural.
What is the difference between a curl cream, a gel, and a hair pudding?
Curl creams hydrate, gels lock, and Hair Pudding does both — nourishment + shape — in one.
Wave Types
Is Mai Nami Hair Pudding better for: 2A, 2B, or 2C hair?
It is designed for all wavy hair types (2A-2C), enhancing your natural pattern without weighing it down.
Will Mai Nami Hair Pudding weigh down fine hair?
No. It hydrates and defines without flattening your natural texture.
Is Mai Nami Hair Pudding suitable for oily roots and dry ends?
Yes. It hydrates the lengths without overloading the roots; just apply from mid-lengths to ends.
