Product Review: Max Green Alchemy's Scalp Rescue Texture Paste

Max Green AlchemyOut to help us all look fabulous and do good, Max Green Alchemy's line of hair products (they also do skin and lip care) is formulated with pure botanics, vitamins and special nutrients for a healthy scalp and hair. They don't use parabens and other petrochemicals normally found in personal care products, and think your hair can look just as good (or better!) with their certified vegan, cruelty-free, organic formula. To good to be true? We put it through its paces.

The first thing we noticed is the aroma -- it's much different than any other product we've ever encountered. It isn't perfume-y or overpowering; just a delightful fresh citrus scent. The product isn't waxy or greasy, which is a good thing if you're looking for easy styling without any build-up. The package promises "lustrous semi-gloss finish with medium hold" and delivers; when applied and dried in your hair, it holds without being too stiff; after a long day, it remains manageable and can be reactivated and your hair restyled with a little water. Their formula also works well at keeping frizz and fly-aways to a minimum, effectively balancing out the nasty effects that humidity can have on your 'do. The verdict: if you're looking for medium-hold, medium-gloss hair-styling help, this is for you. It feels good, smells good and does good all at once; what else could you want?
