6 Stunning Benefits of Hair Smoothing Treatments
Gone are the days of hair being forced to be straight and smooth. Japanese straightening treatments permanently alter the hair’s structure. Instead, Keratin treatments create a healthy protein layer around the hair shaft. This smoothes the cuticle and makes the hair smoother, softer and manageable. But that’s not all Keratin Smoothing can do. Here are 6 amazing benefits of these incredible smoothing treatments.
-
Smoothing benefits last 3-5 months.
Brazilians are another type of hair smoothing treatment, but it can clog the scalp and only lasts 3 months. On the other hand, Keratin smoothing contains less harsh chemicals and silicones and lasts 3-5 months.
-
It has a deep conditioning effect.
Keratin treatments add a protein layer around the hair shaft and in turn smoothes the cuticle. This enhances moisture balance and controls static. This deep conditioning effect provides shine, softness and frizz control.
-
It contains chemicals and silicones that are less harsh and have minimal fumes.
Now, here’s where we need to get specific. Not all keratin treatments are created equal. Keratin treatments use less harsh chemicals than a Brazilian, but it is Keratherapy that has fewer fumes than its keratin competitors. Fewer fumes mean happier clients and a happier you.
-
There is no demarcation line as hair grows out.
Keratin treatments seal the cuticle instead of changing the hair structure. Hair grows out naturally without that awful demarcation line. In fact, it extends the life of colored hair.
-
The continuum of keratin treatments allows for curl calming control.
Keratin treatments also calm curl… the stronger the treatment the stronger the curl reduction. The great thing is that you have control over this. Keratherapy has a continuum of treatment so that you can choose which treatment is right for your client. Maybe your client wants the smoothing effect without losing their curl, that is a need that can be met by these incredible treatments.
-
Hair proteins are built back up after being stripped over time.
By sealing the cuticle, keratin treatments prevent breakage, rebuilds damaged hair, promotes elasticity, protects from heat, and mends split ends.
Does this all sounds too good to be true? I’ll prove it to you. Attend our Keratherapy certification class and see the transformational power of Keratin treatments.

The Power of Coffee
Caffeine doesn’t just make Mondays more bearable…it may also help bulk up thinning hair according to researchers at the University of Lübeck in Germany. But before you dunk your locks in a Gingerbread Latte…there’s a catch. Because of the chemical composition of caffeine, the study conducted by dermatologist Tobias U. Fischer…only noticed beneficial results with an optimal formulation that is currently only available in Europe. When researchers treated weakened hair follicles with the caffeine solution, the speed of hair growth increased up to 25%…with hair growing in thicker and stronger.

TO FRINGE OR NOT TO FRINGE?
TO FRINGE OR NOT TO FRINGE?
The fringe / bangs hair trend is one that keeps reappearing, but going for a fringe is a commitment that some of us are not ready to make. That’s why this trend paved the way for another 2013 hairstyle, the faux side fringe. This hairstyle does not require the use of scissors to get a fringe: all you need to do is to “manipulate” your hair so that some of it sweeps sideways across your forehead. Voila! Instant bangs!
Numerous runways used this technique causing it to become a trend of its own. You can pair a faux-side fringe with any kind of up-do you want from a ponytail to a wet-look chignon, and it can be a great way to flatter your face shape – especially if you have a large forehead – without the need for scissors.

The 1950s were an enormously influential decade for American style
The 1950s were an enormously influential decade for American style, and 1950s hairstyles shifted accordingly. Post-WWII, the US was rebuilding its economy and moving (haltingly and often painfully) towards social change. The dynamism and simultaneous retreat to more conservative times are both apparent in the era’s styles, which veer wildly from rockabilly hair to pixie cuts and primly waved bobs. It was a time of great change and style to match, so check out some of the decade’s most prominent highlights.

Ask any colorist what type of hair is the harder to highlight
Ask any colorist what type of hair is the harder to highlight and they’ll tell you it’s short hair. Product Club has a perfect and effortless way to highlight short hair using their Product Club Roll Foils, conditioner and your favorite All-Nutrient color or developer of choice!
The benefit of Product Club’s Roll Foil is that it can be cut to any size. This keeps the overall foil in the hair to a minimum as it can be a problem if the foil becomes too heavy. Being able to cut the foil to the exact size you need saves time and money.
THE TECHNIQUE:
Start by parting the hair where you want the highlight and apply thick conditioner for the foil to anchor to. Then, bring the hair down by reverse weaving or slicing and using your color formula or lightener to hold it down.
Pull the next section down and saturate with conditioner on top of the foil…creating another base for the next foil. Continue until your desired design is created.

STYLE MISTAKE #1: Towel-Wrapped Hair
STYLE MISTAKE #1: Towel-Wrapped Hair
Did you know that keeping wet strands wrapped in a towel for a half-hour as you do your make-up just creates frizz? The roughness of the cotton forces your hair cuticles open, making them more likely to go every-which-way. Instead, squeeze out excess water as soon as you’re out of the shower, then let your hair air-dry for five or ten minutes before blow drying.
