Tame frizzy hair & dreadlocks - Improve split ends and damaged hair

Our Mane Tamer hair wax contains calendula-infused sunflower oil and Apricot oil, both of which are easily absorbed and will deeply moisturise your hair. Lots of shea butter and a very small percentage of organic beeswax curl and shine frizzy hair and tame small flyaways when used on dreadlocks.

Rosemary Essential Oil stimulates follicles, as a result, hair grows longer and stronger. It is also believed that rosemary oil slows down premature hair loss and graying of hair. Geranium Essential Oil is a sebum balancer and so will help maintain the correct balance of natural oil in the hair. The fragance is gentle and suitable for men or women.

Although this is a small pot, it will last a very long time. Use very sparingly and see amazing results from this super rich formulation.

Dreadlock wax

This gentle wax will allow dreadlocks to move and knot naturally, rather than glueing the whole dread in place which can cause problems with build up and cracking and even slow the dreading process down. Dreads and scalp can still be washed.

How to tame frizzy hair

The number one cause of frizz is dehydrated hair. The shea butter and natural oils in this product, naturally rich in fatty acids bursting with vitamins, will nourish and repair whilst you style, offering a long term, sustainable solution to unwanted frizz and unruly curls. 

Split ends

Can be used as a deep conditioner to improve split ends and very dry damaged hair.

Beard balm

We are very proud to have been awarded two gold medals by Green Parent magazine for our product in hair styling category 2025 and the Beard Balm Category (2021)

Swimming

One of our customers recently told us she uses Mane Tamer to protect her hair when swimming in a chlorinated pool. Apply sparingly especially to the ends before swimming and wash out after.

Directions & Guidance

Not suitable for infants under 36 months.

Not suitable for those with an allergy to the daisy or aster family, (known as a Sesquiterpene Lactone allergy).

As with all skin care/ hair products, test a small area of skin and observe for 24hrs to be sure there is no reaction before applying generally.

Storage & Shipping

Store all Lyonsleaf products in a cool dark place to preserve beneficial compounds and avoid solid products melting.

Stored properly and unopened all products will keep indefinitely. Use within 12 months of opening.

If a solid product does melt, reset it in a refrigerator. Products containing shea butter should be warmed to a liquid state and then reset quickly in a refrigerator to avoid the shea butter forming grainy lumps as it hardens.

    Lyonleaf mane tamer

    Excellent product. The balm is smooth and melts like butter when massaged into palms before applying to your hair or beard and the scent is amazing, leaving your hair and beard fully hydrated, tamed and smelling amazing. I will definitely be purchasing this product again.

    Great for my natural locs

    I have been using this product for several months, and it has been great in moisturising my locs and keeping them tidy.
    There has been no build up of product in my hair, and I love the fact that it is made with natural products. I have recommended it to my sister and Mane Tamer is now part of my hair regime. A*

    Best hair product I have found for my sons 4b/4c hair, makes it so soft and manageable, keeps braids and twists neat for weeks. It's a small jar but you only need a small amount, a little goes a long way , completely natural product too .

    Only product that works for my hair!

    I love the Mane Tamer! I have thick, naturally curly hair and wanted a natural product that was strong enough to just take the frizz down and leave the curls looking softer and more natural, this reduces frizz without feeling sticky. I have recommended this product to many friends :)

    Smooths frizz and nourishes

    I have wavy straight but frizzy hair and I’m always on the hunt for something to take the fly aways. Often products like this will be too heavy and make my hair greasy esp as it seems designed for dreadlocks, but as long as I use very sparingly, it not only tames frizz but i also feel like it nourishes the hair too. Of course too it’s all natural so I feel better using it than all the chemical filled serums out there. I got a sample but when it’s done I will get the big tub and it will probably last me ages!

    Review

    I bought this product for my Granddaughter who's 19, mixed race and has really curly hair that falls into ringlets. She was at the end of her tether as her hair was so dry but this Mane Tamer has worked miracles. It now looks healthy and shiny and soft. More expensive than off the shelf products but well worth it as you don't need to use a lot so it lasts a long time.

    Review

    wanted to thank you for creating Lyons Leaf Mane Tamer. I am Afro Caribbean with frizzy afro hair. I straighten my hair the old fashioned way using an ironing comb which i heat up on the gas cooker. I am 62 years old and this is the first hair product that I've used which keeps my hair straight in damp,foggy, misty or rainy weather. Please never change the way you make this product

    I have used mane tamer for the last year and can honestly say it has been the only product to control my curly, frizzy hair!
    It smells so wonderful, and I wouldn't be without it!
    I have also been using the calendula cream which really helps to sooth my exczema.
    Thank you lyonsleaf, keep up the good work!
    Xx

    Review

    This mane tamer is the most amazing product I have ever used. I have natural curly hair and a few dread locks too and my loctitian advised this to use on my hair. I will never go back to argan oil or any other product now. I even use it on my hands and face! It's beautiful and smells wonderful. Thank you for being creative and putting yourself out there. I wish you every success and hope you're around for a very long time!

    FAQs

    How Quickly do you despatch?

    We despatch orders Monday to Friday and we always dispatch the same working day (if ordered before 12 noon) or the following working day.

    Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products

    Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.

    Why is the pot so small?

    Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.

    Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?

    Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
