The Meishai How-To Guide

With over a decade in the hair industry, our founder Katja has created this simple guide for those seeking healthy, well-cared-for hair. The secret doesn’t lie in using many products, but in choosing the right ones – and using them with intention. Follow this step-by-step ritual and discover how Meishai works in harmony with both your hair and scalp.

step 1

Healthy Hair Starts with a Healthy Scalp

Our hair is exposed daily to sweat, the environment, and styling products. Cleaning your scalp and hair thoroughly is the first step to maintaining a healthy foundation for great hair.

Meishai Shampoo is enriched with Saccharide Isomerate, a plant-based ingredient that soothes, balances, and hydrates your scalp. It helps maintain your scalp’s natural moisture while leaving your hair refreshed and revitalized.

  • How to use:

    1. Wash your hair twice. The first wash removes buildup and impurities, while the second wash allows the shampoo’s active ingredients to work effectively. Add water, not more product, to create foam.
    2. Massage the shampoo thoroughly into your scalp each time to stimulate blood flow and promote scalp health.
    3. Rinse thoroughly, ensuring all product is removed.

  • Pro tip:

    Washing twice keeps your scalp clean for longer and enhances the shampoo’s benefits. The first wash cleanses, and the second wash is where the shampoo delivers all its care. Meishai’s gentle, eco-friendly foaming agent protects your hair’s natural moisture. Allow your hair to adapt to this new feeling for a long-lasting fresh and revitalized scalp. 

step 2

Repair and Rebuild

The Meishai Treatment is your "liquid gold," enriched with coconut oil, glycerin, and Rep’Hair® – a plant-based biomimetic ceramide that repairs, rebuilds, and strengthens your hair. This treatment restores your hair’s natural gloss and is perfect for both dyed and non-dyed hair.

  • How to use:

    1. After rinsing out the shampoo, towel-dry your hair gently to remove excess water. This ensures the treatment isn’t diluted.
    2. Apply the treatment from the tips upward. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to distribute evenly. Avoid applying directly to the scalp.‎
    3. Leave it on for 5-7 minutes (or longer for deeper repair).
    4. Rinse thoroughly with water.

  • Pro tip:

    For damaged or dry hair, using the treatment once a week will provide the intensive care needed for restoration. Allowing the treatment to sit longer can further enhance the results.

step 3

Seal and Protect

The final step in your shower routine is Meishai Conditioner, which penetrates, seals, and protects your hair while providing a luxurious softening effect. This step locks in moisture and makes your hair silky smooth and manageable.

  • How to use:

    1. After rinsing out the treatment, gently squeeze out excess water from your hair.
    2. Apply the conditioner evenly from the tips upward, avoiding the scalp. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to distribute the product.
    3. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes.
    4. Rinse thoroughly with water.

    Your hair is now sealed, protected, and ready for the next stage of care.

  • Pro tip:

    Think of conditioner as your hair’s toner, just like in a skincare routine. After shampoo and treatment, which open the hair cuticle, conditioner closes and seals it again leaving the hair soft and smooth. Without conditioner, the hair remains open and more vulnerable to moisture loss, frizz and damage. 

step 4

Protect Your Hair from Heat

After stepping out of the shower, it’s important to protect your hair before blow-drying or styling. Heat protection is essential to shield your hair from damage caused by styling tools, ensuring it remains healthy, shiny, and strong.

Meishai Heat Protection adds moisture and creates a lightweight barrier around your hair, protecting it from the stress of high temperatures.

  • How to use:

    1. Spray evenly over towel-dried hair, ensuring full coverage from roots to tips.
    2. Use a brush or comb to distribute the product evenly for maximum protection.‎
    3. Blow-dry or style your hair as desired.
    4. For restyling, apply a light mist to dry hair before using heat tools to refresh your look.

  • Pro tip:

    Brushing through after spraying ensures even coverage, making styling smoother and more effective. Using heat protection for restyling keeps your hair healthy even with frequent use of heat tools.

step 5

Finish, care and complete

The final and most thoughtful step in your haircare routine is Meishai Serum. This fragrance-free and allergy-friendly serum is designed to deliver deep nourishment, softness and shine – without weighing your hair down. Use it on damp or dry hair as a finishing touch, or apply it overnight for a luxurious night treatment.

  • How to use:

    For air-drying or blow-drying:

    1. Start with clean, towel-dried hair.
    2. Warm 1–2 pumps between your hands and apply evenly through lengths and ends.
    3. Let your hair air-dry for a natural, nourished look – or blow-dry and style as desired.
    4. Pair Meishai Serum with Meishai Heat Protection for optimal protection and enhanced care.

    For dry hair:

    Apply to lengths and ends as a nourishing finish that softens, smooths, and adds shine – without weighing the hair down.

    As an overnight treatment:

    Distribute a little extra serum through the ends before bed and wake up to silky-soft hair by morning.

  • Pro tips:

    • Pair Meishai Serum with Meishai Heat Protection for extra care, protection and shine when using hot styling tools. It also works beautifully the next day to refresh and nourish your ends. 

    • Meishai Serum is perfect to catch “fly-aways” when you have a sleek tight styling, for example a tight pony-tail or bun.
