SEVEN Luxury Haircare Products :: A Review & Giveaway
Over the years I have had issues… with my hair! I think it is a combination of life changes and hormone issues (I really need to get my thyroid checked out again) that has changed my hair – and not for the better! That is, until my hairstylist, Michelle, owner of the very cool Al.Ka.Li Hair Salon in Costa Mesa, told me about SEVEN, a new haircare line she is in-love with. I figured I’d give it a shot since I didn’t have much to lose. I tried out a couple of the different shampoo’s they offer and found the best match for my hair to be their gluten-free shampoo and conditioner – which doesn’t bother my scalp as many other brands have over the years.
Well after using their products for a couple months now – I am absolutely thrilled with the SEVEN hair products and I can’t say enough good things about them! I even use them in my daughter’s hair when she has a bad case of tangles. Somehow, the combination of the SEAL Lotion and BEACH Spray, and gluten-free conditioner and shampoo have changed the texture and overall appearance of my hair. I actually feel okay about wearing it down now as for many years I didn’t think it look good enough to wear down. Now it looks much healthier and softer – and definitely noticed a big difference with it no longer looking so dry – which can happen with people with thyroid issues. And I love how the products have a ton of natural ingredients and antioxidants with none of the harsh chemicals that over time, wreck havoc on your hair.
I wanted to share this new line with you all and spoke to Nathan DeMarre who heads up their sales and marketing department. He was kind enough to offer $400+ in a product giveaway for our lovely dandelion moms! I was curious to find out what the secret is behind their great product line. Here is what he as to say about SEVEN luxury haircare.
Tell us how SEVEN luxury haircare came about!
SEVEN luxury haircare started as a 9-chair hair salon in Seattle Washington. In the last 12 years, it grew to become 2 locations with 150 hairdressers. It was here, that SEVEN luxury haircare came to fruition. We feel that too many hair care products are focused on being Runway products which leave the hair both sticky and crunchy. Very 2-Dimensional in nature. Our passion is in creating products that make your hair feel as beautiful as it looks. A very 3-Dimensional approach to creating, softer, glossier, touchable hair without all the buildup of traditional products.
What do you think sets SEVEN apart from other hair products?
I don’t know if I should say this, but we are ingredient nerds to the 9th degree. It isn’t just that we are sulfate-free, paraben free, and rid of harsh chemicals, but it is what we put into the products that make them special. We currently use over 64 natural ingredients and antioxidants to make your hair softer, stronger and shinier. Some people don’t know how amazing our ingredients really are, because our branding is Simple Luxury, Understated Elegance . A lot of product lines in the marketplace make a pitch to, “buy us because we’re green.” We want to be a line that pitches, “buy us because the performance of our products are stellar… PS check out those healthy ingredients.”
I have been really pleased with how much SEAL has helped my hair – it feels (and looks thicker) and definitely helps with the tangles in my daughter’s hair. Can you explain what makes this product so unique.
SEAL Lotion has always been one of our hottest products. Not only does it have an Aloe Vera base to it, but it also has 12 other natural ingredients and antioxidants in it as well. With a lower PH level than water, SEAL closes down the hair’s cuticle, locking in all those vitamins for healthier hair growth. One of my favorite ingredients is the Hops Extract. Back in the 40’s and 50’s there was a trend among women, who permed their hair, to use beer as a conditioning agent to offset the chemical processing. Today, we use a good amount of Hops Extract in the SEAL Lotion to nurture split-ends, and make hair feel both healthier and softer.
Any news you want to share with our lovely dandelion moms and dads?
Each of these products are both beneficial to you and your child’s life: SUN Spray, DIAMOND Serum, and DRY Shampoo.
The SUN Spray is a perfect foundation spray for Summer. It contains Galanga Root, White Tea Leaf, and Zinc which are natural UV protectants, Chamomile and Sunflower Seed Extract which promote shine, Grapefruit Seed Extract which is hydrophobic in nature and speeds up blowdrys by 30%, and it is also an amazing thermal protectant when you are using any hot tools.
DIAMOND Serum is one our most sought after products because it not only brings softness and shine to hair, but is very reparative as well. The Coconut and Macadamia Nut oil will penetrate the hair shaft healing split-ends and eradicating frizz.
A little tip for using on your child’s hair: Add 2 drops to a hand of conditioner during shower time. The Coconut and Macadamia Nut Oil will help remove tangles and make a comb glide right through the hair!
DRY shampoo is the perfect product for summer. Summer is filled with hiking, camping, and swimming, among other fun activities where your hair gets a little dirtier than usual. DRY shampoo is the perfect spray shampoo for in-between shower days that will absorb the excess oil from the hair and leave it with a cosmetic shine. DRY Shampoo by SEVEN luxury haircare is special because we use a Tapioca Starch to cleanse the hair rather than Aluminum Starch found in many other products.
We believe that your hairstylist is the perfect person to prescribe the right cocktail of products for you, so we can only be found in partner salons.
Thanks so much Nathan for your insight and thank you for the wonderful giveaway! You can find SEVEN products locally at the Al.Ka.Li Hair Salon or you can find a location near you by contacting them here.
“When we were going to open our salon, we wanted to only carry one product line. We needed a line that could actually solve problems, and had solutions for everyone. At the same time, Seven Luxury Haircare began to expand their line through the West Coast. When we were introduced to them, it was clear that this was exactly what the haircare industry was missing, and the only products we would want to offer our clients.
Seven Luxury Haircare is an edgy, young company that offers up-to-date, innovative products, each pH-balanced for the hair. All of their products are sulfate free, paraben free, carcinogen free, and cruelty free. Rather than animal testing, they are tested by hairdressers, on hairdressers. Aside from the honey in a few products, this line is completely vegan friendly.” ~ Michelle Carter, Owner of Al.Ka.Li Hair Salon

I’ve been looking for a product for my hair that had UV protection. And with my mom still not able to shower due to her broken leg, the dry shampoo would be great to try on her.

I’d love to try the diamond serum. My hair is thin, fine, colored, and needs some TLC.

I’d love to try the Dry Shampoo the most. Seeing that Summer is here, my hair gets a littler dirtier than normal and I think this would help it a lot.
