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.
Is the Hair Pudding safe for daily use?

Yes. Our edible-grade, non-toxic approach avoids silicones, sulfates, parabens, and hormone disruptors — formulated to respect your scalp, hair, and overall wellbeing for everyday use.
Where is Mai Nami Hair Pudding made?

Crafted entirely in the UK

Ingredients & Clean Beauty

What does “hormone-safe” mean in Mai Nami products?

“Hormone-safe” means our formulas are free from endocrine disruptors—chemicals that may interfere with your body’s natural hormone balance. Wellness-first beauty means confidence in every ingredient.
What are the key ingredients in Hair Pudding, and what do they do for my hair?

We use edible-grade, nutrient-rich ingredients that deliver visible results:

  • Plant Oils & Butters: Deeply hydrate, soften, and protect without heaviness.
  • Natural Emollients: Seal moisture into the cuticle, giving hair a silky feel and shine.
  • Botanical Extracts: Add antioxidants to fight environmental stressors and support scalp health.
  • Humectants (like glycerin) : Draw water into the hair shaft for lasting hydration and definition.This blend creates a cream-oil hybrid that nourishes like a mask, styles like a cream, and protects like an oil.
Are Mai Nami products free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, or phthalates?

Yes. All Mai Nami products are 100% free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, and phthalates. We also avoid mineral oils, PEGs, and synthetic colorants.
Is Hair Pudding vegan and cruelty-free?

Absolutely. Mai Nami is vegan (we use no animal-derived ingredients). We believe that luxury should never come at the expense of animals or the planet.
How does Mai Nami ensure ingredient safety and transparency?

We take a radical transparency approach:

  • Food-Grade Standards: If it’s not safe enough to be in food, it won’t go in your hair.
  • Rigorous Testing: We collaborate with leading UK labs to ensure every batch meets toxin-free, microbiological, and performance benchmarks.
  • Full Ingredient Disclosure: No greenwashing, no marketing fluff — every ingredient is listed and its purpose known.

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 apply it on wet or dry hair? 

Both!

  • Wet hair: Use as a leave-in cream to define waves, hydrate, and smooth.
  • Dry hair: Apply a pea-sized amount to tame frizz, refresh definition, or seal ends.
How much product should I use per application?

Absolutely. Hair Pudding layers beautifully under or over other styling products and works with oils, sprays, or mousse. It’s also great as a base before heat styling for extra protection.

 
Can Hair Pudding help reduce frizz and flyaways?

Yes! It’s formulated to smooth the cuticle with natural emollients and plant oils, creating a soft, polished look without stiffness or crunch.
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.
Why does wavy hair get frizzy so fast and how does Mai Nami solve that?

Wavy hair loses moisture 60% faster than straight hair. Mai Nami nourishes then seals the cuticle to prevent fast moisture loss.
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 — that is exactly what it was formulated to do.
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

What hair types is Mai Nami Hair Pudding best for: 2A, 2B, or 2C?

Mai Nami was engineered specifically for 2A, 2B and 2C wavy hair — the hair textures th
Does Mai Nami help uneven wave patterns become more symmetrical?

Yes — hydration + sealing improves pattern consistency. Over time, the wave pattern becomes more even, more defined, and less frizzy.
Can Mai Nami work on wavy hair that becomes straight when it dries?

Yes — that is usually a sign of dehydration. When waves are under-nourished, they collapse. Mai Nami restores moisture and memory so waves hold their natural shape.
