Pai-Shau Haircare Picks for Happy Hair

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have used Pai-Shau Haircare products for a couple of years now, and I thought that I would highlight three of my favorite products from their collection. Pai-Shau Haircare, a professional salon haircare line, features fantastic products that will pamper, nourish and style your tresses. Their products are innovative, effective and a true pleasure to use, and therefore Pai-Shau deserves to be on your radar.

About Pai-Shau Haircare:

Pai-Shau means Passion for Life. The name was inspired by our journey to discover beauty in a different way. Led by passion, we looked to an age-old ritual practiced by cultures all over the world.

For centuries, tea has been consumed for its remarkable healing properties. Deemed as a wonder drink, its benefits are known to lead to a healthier lifestyle and combat the effects of aging. Inspired by their ability to enhance, nourish and protect internally, Pai-Shau discovered how to replicate those same holistic benefits into products made for the hair.

Our Signature Tea Complex, made of African Red Bush, White, Black, Pu-erh and Japanese Matcha Green Teas, is infused into every product for root to tip nourishment, enhanced shine, and weightless moisture. The hair’s natural beauty is restored.

Our T-Sylk Technology maintains the teas’ potency and ensures its nutrients are fully absorbed. Hair is left with a clean finish for versatility and simplicity. Styling becomes effortless. Ideal for every style. Every texture. Everyone.

Pai-Shau inspires trends from an authentic place. We empower others to express individuality and explore their own passions. Self-confidence allows you to embrace the moment, Pai-Shau gives you tools.

All Pai-Shau products are free of gluten, parabens, sulfates and phosphates, with no added sodium chloride. The entire line is residue-free, animal cruelty-free, Leaping Bunny-approved and vegan friendly.
Pai-Shau Hydrating Ritual Supreme Revitalizing Mask ($43.00 for 9.5 oz. from Pai-Shau, Macy's and Jet.com): This is an ultra-rich deep conditioning mask that is very, very moisturizing! For my dry, curly hair, this is a dream-come-true conditioner because it is very rich and nourishing without weighing down my curls. It leaves my hair very manageable, super soft, smooth and shiny. Additionally, it fights frizz and allows me to comb my wet hair effortlessly. I should also mention that it has a delectable warm and creamy scent that I absolutely love!

According to Pai-Shau,

A rare blend of high-performance cationic polymers that infuse moisture into the hair while adding an anti-static barrier of protection from the environment. Our Signature Tea Complex penetrates the cuticle, nourishing the hair from the inside out. The Hydrating Ritual Supreme Revitalizing Mask is so unique that our weightless formula actually generates volume in the hair while adding softness and shine.
Features: High performance cationic polymers that infuse moisture in to the hair • Signature Tea Complex for weightless moisture • Provides shine, moisture and sheen to the hair • Suitable for all hair types
Pai-Shau Biphasic Infusion ($45.00 for 4 oz. from Pai-Shau and Macy's): This is a very unique haircare product, and it is unlike anything that I have ever tried. It boasts a "Biphasic" formula– not unlike serums and dual-phase eye makeup removers– and thus it requires shaking before use to incorporate all of the ingredients. It can be used on wet (towel dried) or dry hair to add unsurpassed shine, moisture and thermal protection. Furthermore, it fights frizz, makes hair more supple, smooth and manageable. I am thoroughly obsessed with this product!

According to Pai-Shau,

Biphasic Infusion is a potent rejuvenating concentrate containing the highest content of our Signature Tea Complex. Biphasic Infusion provides extreme shine and healthier looking hair from the very first use. An advanced binary technology drives our Signature Tea Complex deep inside the cuticle to nourish the hair’s structure, attracting moisture and locking it inside. Fortified with antioxidants and amino acids, it surrounds hair with a sheer veil of shielding properties known to provide thermal and environmental protection.

What is T-Sylk Technology and how does it work?  T-Sylk Technology combines the highest concentration of our Signature Tea Complex with a weightless silk concentrate for ultimate hydration. Phase 1 Our Signature Tea Complex deeply penetrates the hair to deliver intense moisture, shine and protection.  Phase 2  Locks moisture in the hair and provides thermal protection for silky smooth shine. This innovative new hair technology is completely weightless and will never build up or coat the hair.  This is what we at Pai-Shau call T-Sylk Technology.

Features: Highest concentration of our Signature Tea Complex • Advance binary technology that works in two phases to super saturate the hair with moisture and lock it inside • Provides thermal and environmental protection • Suitable for all hair types

Directions: Shake well to activate. Add one to two pumps of product to clean, towel dried hair beginning mid-shaft to ends. May also be used on dry hair to smooth and add shine.
Pai-Shau Style Soufflé ($32.00 for 8.4 oz. from Pai-Shau, Macy's and Jet.com): This is an incredibly lightweight and creamy gel-like styling product that moisturizes the hair while offering control over unruly tresses, and it boasts a light hold and a natural feel. It offers soft volume and shine, and is suitable for straight, wavy and curly hair. It has a very pleasant light scent, but I find that it fades quite quickly.

According to Pai-Shau,

A distinct, airy styling agent containing nourishing and reparative extracts designed to give you control and manageability. Formulated for all hair textures, Design Ritual Style Soufflé is infused with antioxidants to retain moisture during the styling process, maintaining the integrity of the hair.  This formula infuses soft volume and memory to your style.

Features: Infused with antioxidants to retain moisture during styling process • Creates Soft volume and memory to your style • For straight, curly or wavy styles • Suitable for all types
Overall Assessment: These are such nice products, and I continue to love using them. Pai-Shau is definitely worthy of your consideration.
