I have been singing the praises of Rahua products for quite a while now, and their eco-friendly and cruelty-free haircare gems are unquestionably my most reach-for and cherished treats for my curly tresses. Rahua Elixir, which is formulated for all types of hair, is a wondrous minimum ingredient hair oil that is eco-luxe, cruelty-free and otherworldly. It is, in a word, superb.
It is a very concentrated luxury oil with "super fine rahua molecules" that deeply penetrate the "hair's cortex to rebuild" even the most damaged hair. That I have natural curly dry hair gives me ample opportunities to test the veracity of their claims, and what I have consistently noted is that my hair is more manageable, soft, sleek, shiny, moisturized and healthy looking. It conditions my scalp, fights frizz and fly-aways, and its antioxidant-rich and nourishing formula protects and revitalizes my hair and scalp beyond all expectations. It has a wonderful earthy aroma that is informed by its clean blend of Ungurahua, Rahua, Palo Santo oils. However, it is neither overpowering, nor long-lasting.
While it can be used as a deep treatment and rinsed out, I tend to use it on a daily basis on damp or dry hair. I warm up a tiny amount in my hands, and then massage it into my scalp and throughout the length of my hair.
According to Rahua,
A powerful restorative hair and scalp treatment derived from 100% Amazonian symbiotic® rahua oil. Rahua oil fortifies weak, damaged strands and provides nourishment to help maintain the health of the scalp and hair follicles. Palo santo oil, known as 'holy wood' and revered by Amazonian shamans, adds a sophisticated, earthy aroma while providing a soothing aromatherapy experience.
Key Benefits:
- Repairs, strengthens, and restores damaged hair
- Delivers long-lasting moisture and high shine
- Calms, soothes, hydrates, and protects the scalp
Directions: For daily use, massage 1 to 3 drops into hair and scalp. Do not rinse. For deep treatment, massage a full dropper into hair and scalp. Leave in for 15 minutes or longer, then shampoo and rinse hair. Use every 2 to 4 weeks to see reconstructive results.
Free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone and talc; also free of gluten. Cruelty-free & Vegan. Made in the USA.

Individual Ingredients and Their Attributes:
Rahua Oil (Unguruhua): "Amazonian women have for eons depended on the oil from this tree nut to nurture and strengthen their hair. It fortifies weak and damaged hair, nourishes and maintains hair follicle and scalp health, and its super-fine molecules push color pigmentation deep into the hair shaft, greatly extending color endurance. Skin benefits from its generous supply of omega-9 fatty acids, which tone, calm, and smooth the skin and restore its natural moisture balance."

Wow, it does sound like a holy grail hair product! I will have to look into their more affordable Legendary Amazon Oil
ReplyDeleteIt really is incredible, Allison, and the cost is definitely high, but their Legendary Amazon Oil is a wonderful choice at a fraction of the cost.
DeleteDo you think this would work well for fine hair?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do, Jen! While I have naturally curly hair, each strand is rather fine, and this works brilliantly for my hair. You only need a tiny amount.
DeleteI remember my curly haired friends having fits over the way their curls looked. This sounds like a savior for them.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a dream-come-true for my curly hair, but it is formulated for all types of hair, and it is a pretty miraculous oil!
DeleteMy hair is so fine I never use oils, wonder if would work for me?
ReplyDeleteWhile my hair is curly, it is actually fine as well, and it works beautifully for me. It will not leave your hair limp, and you only need to use the very tiniest amount for great results. Yes, I definitely think that you could use this, and that your hair would benefit greatly, but the key is using a very small amount.
DeleteThis seems like a really nice hair oil. I can see why it's a holy grail.
ReplyDeleteIt really is, and it definitely is a holy grail product for me. Rahua is just such an amazing brand!
