Maple Holistics saved my hair! Finding the perfect shampoo and conditioner that gives my hair the moisture it lacks is difficult. If you’re like me, dry hair is a problem. Moving to Los Angeles impacted my hair tremendously. The water here is dry and my hair had only been exposed to soft water. I discovered Maple Holistics because I was given a sample of their Natural Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner to review. Before I get started on how amazing the products are, let me provide you some info on the brand. What is Maple Holistics? Maple Holistics is a brand based in Farmingdale, NewRead More →

The difference betweenRead More →
