Japanese Conditioning Treatment
Our clients have enjoyed this amazing repair treatment which was originally designed for the Japanese Straightening Treatment. We use it regularly on clients with stressed hair. It leaves the hair much thicker and much healthier feeling. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. Blow dry is not included in the treatment. Want your healthy hair back? This is the way to go. Ask your stylists when you make your next appointment. The treatment is also available as home care treatment.
After Shampooing
Blot your wet hair with the towel after shampooing - Don't rub the hair dry with a towel! - You will tear up your hair's cuticle and lose shine and elasticity. Suggestion: Wrap your towel around your head like a turban, in just a few minutes the towel will have absorbed the excess moisture, and then continue styling.
Colored or Natural Hair
After shampooing, finish with a cool or cold rinse. Cold water will close the cuticle of the hair and therefore make your hair much shinier, which also helps our color clients to greatly reduce the natural process of fading. After all, we want you to get most out of your money spent and enjoy our work as long as possible. You also might want to look into a customized Color shampoo.
Body Waves and Perms
Never brush perms or body waves when the hair is dry! Always comb a perm, after shampooing, when hair is wet, preferably with a wide tooth comb. Move your hair into place with some styling aid, such as mousse or gel, and let it air dry or scrunch with diffuser.
Watch out for build up on your hair!
Today's busy lifestyle may require shampooing your hair every day, which is fine, but keep in mind that using styling aids such a gel, mousse or hairspray, can leave quite a build up on your hair. Even the regular water contains copper and other materials that cling on to your hair and cause it to go dull and limp. Ask your hairstylist to do a build up check on your hair (can only be performed on wet hair). You might be surprised what you'll find, and what you'll find might explain why your hair is just hanging and doesn't have any volume! Using a build up removing shampoo such as Goldwell's "Demineralzing Shampoo" or Ecoly’s "Cucumber Shampoo" can drastically improve your hair's condition and appearance. Adding a spoon of Baking Soda to the shampoo helps even more in removing build up.
