Product information

No, our products are free from sulfates and parabens. Instead, we use plant based ingredients and more gentle alternatives. 

Many shampoos contain sulfates to dissolve fats and make them lather. Sulfates removes oils from your hair but can also strip the hair and scalp of their natural oils. Products that contain sulfates can therefore make your hair feel drier and make the scalp produce more sebum. When switching from a shampoo with sulfates it's normal to experience that the hair gets oily quicker. This is due to the scalp adjusting its sebum production to more gentle products.

Parabens are a conservative that is added to water based products to prolong the shelf life withoutthe risk of bacteria or mold starting to develop. Parabens have been linked to allergies, which is why some might want to avoid them in their haircare routine.

Our Cream Heat Spray and Quick Dry Spray both protect your hair when using hot tools that are up to 450 degrees

Color Refresh contains semi-permanent color pigments that stick to the outer cortex of the hair - this means that the color does not penetrate as well as a permanent color. Depending on the starting point of the hair, the color gradually washes out between 4-10 times (sometimes it takes longer if the hair is very porous). Please note that when used on grey or untreated hair the results may vary. Since it's only temporary pigments, they are not as strong as permanent hair color, and therefore it can be hard to cover grey. For some people, it seems to work covering grey hair, but we can't leave any guarantee as this is very individual. Always try on a strand of your hair before applying the color to the whole hair to see the result.

Our Curlicue Cream is developed to define and enhance naturally curly/wavy hair. It does not have the same effect on naturally straight hair.

Some products in our assortment contain Shea Butter and may be of concern for those with nut allergies. These products include:

  • Head & Hair Heal Masque
  • Luminous Colour Masque

  • Sheer Silver Masque

  • True Soft Masque
  • Coils & Curls Co-Wash

Yes! All of our series can be combined depending on the desired result.

Our products are very gentle as they are both 100% vegan, sulphate and paraben-free. According to the Swedish branch organization KTF (Cosmetic trade association), it is even safe to dye your hair in the salon - when you are breastfeeding or pregnant. At Maria Nila, we think you should always be extra careful with all types of products when it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a precautionary measure, we recommend that you reduce its use during a specific period. You can always consult your doctor if you are unsure.

Unopened bottles should be used within 30 months. Opened bottles should be used within 12 months. We do not recommend using products after expiration date.

Our products are very gentle as they are 100% vegan and free from sulfates and parabens. Since there are hair extensions with many different qualities and materials, we recommend you to consult with your hairdresser to be sure what products suit your specific extensions.

Quick Dry Heat Spray and Cream Heat Spray are products purely developed for heat protection and can be used on both wet and dry hair.

Please read the instructions for Curly Girl Method thoroughly so that you get a full understanding of what ingredients need to be avoided.

Our products are very gentle as they are 100% vegan, sulphate and paraben-free. However, all of our product safety testings has been performed on adults so we cannot give any recommendations for children. Therefore this is an individual choice.

Colour Guard Complex means that the product has some ingredients in it that make it preserve the color in your hair longer. The products with Colour Guard Complex for instance protect the hair against UV radiation and free radicals.

The color bomb masques can sometimes be tricky products since they behave differently in different hair types. How well the color attaches depends on the quality of hair. If your hair is porous, the color will attach better than on "glassy" hair. A color-treated or bleached hair is more open for pigments and therefore most suitable for the color masque. For further consultation, we recommend that you talk with your hairdresser or contact our team.
