After the heat and stress of summer, your hair is craving some TLC to help it recover and transition from summer to fall and winter.
All the experts we consulted agree that our environment can be one of the biggest stressors for our hair: the changing of the seasons, sun & heat, cold & dryness, and UV rays that fade color and damage the hair. Ultimately it comes down to keeping a solid foundation of routine care for all hair types to prevent environmental factors that can damage the hair.
“To me hair is like grass. The perfect lawn has to be watered and trimmed meticulously and is even harder to maintain in various seasons. Adjustments to the care have to be made…. Hair is kind of like that,” says Mirza Batanovic, Eufora Style Director.
Win-Win for the salon and clients
Mirza Batanovic, Master Stylist and Salon Director at Eufora Studio Salon in NYC has a proven and profitable solution to restore stressed summer hair. He focuses on providing guests with instant gratification using products that work beautifully at the back bar. Then he includes a recommendation for the perfect at-home treatment to ensure guests maintain their healthy hair between salon visits.
Mirza shared a salon promotion to help explain. “One month this fall, Eufora Studio Salon will be offering a complimentary repair treatment add-on service (with any full-price service). It will feature Eufora Triple Bond Repair. It is a quick, one-step treatment that provides instant and noticeable improvement in the hair. So much so that it always sparks a conversation about at-home care. As a result, we almost always see guests leave the salon with an additional tube of Triple Bond Repair in their shopping bag. This promotion not only boosts our retail sales, the complimentary add-on service also helps strengthen customer loyalty. Guests love the free service and appreciate the convenience of being able to replicate a quick, effective treatment at home.”
The secret of Hair Prescriptives
Hair Prescriptives® products all feature proprietary Ekakshi Oil Complex. This is a bio-active botanical oil extracted from the rare one-eyed coconut and incorporated into formulas. The creator of these products is board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven L. Ringler. Ringler has studied the causes of thinning hair in men and women for the past 20 years. The synergistic mix of medium-chained fatty acids, antioxidants, vasodilators, DHT blockers and antimicrobial ingredients is crucial to the formation of healthy hair. And now it’s the key ingredient in all Hair Prescriptives products.
Amanda DiChiara ,a stylist at NY JUNGLE Salon in Paramus New Jersey recommends HPx Stimulating Shampoo for thinner hair. It won’t weigh hair down, giving the illusion the hair is thicker. She also recommends HPx’s Ekakshi Oil Active Hair & Scalp Treatment. “It’s a great tool to use to remove any excess dry skin and keep the scalp and hair healthy. When the scalp is healthy, your hair grows healthy,” Amanda reminds us.
Hawaiian spa treatment for your hair!
Paul Mitchell’s Awapuhi Wild Ginger KeraTriplex gets to the core of dry, damaged strands with a weekly deep conditioning hair mask. It instantly improves texture with noticeable results. KeraTriplex® keratin protein technology rebuilds and repairs to transform lackluster hair. In the meantime, hand-harvested awapuhi extract from the JPMS farm in Hawaii replenishes every strand with intense moisture and shine.
Paul Mitchell Artistic Director Paula Peralta says, “If you’re on the hunt for strengthening and repair after a color service, Awapuhi Wild Ginger KeraTriplex reduces breakage, improves shine and prevents color fade.“
Pick and choose what your hair wants
Gerard Caruso, Director of Education at milk_shake® says, “First and foremost, everyone should have a shampoo and conditioner for their specific hair type. One that is color-safe, such as milk_shake Color Maintainer
works for any hair type or texture. In addition, once a week it is beneficial to use milk_shake Deep Detox Shampoo. It removes buildup and environmental pollutants from the hair. A buildup of metals or toxins in the hair (from water, etc.) can create internal weakness inside the hair shaft. This weakness makes the hair more prone to breakage.”
Additionally, at least once a week, use an intensive mask or treatment. milk_shake Integrity Intensive Treatment should be used to provide a deeper level of conditioning, strengthening and repair.
Protection always helps
NAK Hair Educator Kim Smits recommends leave-in products like NAK Hair’s Replends Creme for lightweight
hydration, a thermal shield for anti-humidity, and protection from hot tool styling.
Your hair wants a glossy, glassy finish
High-gloss hair is in high demand. Oribe’s response to the desire for truly dazzling hair is the innovative Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment. This is a deeply hydrating treatment that instantly illuminates hair, leaving it soft and glossy. In under one minute, the weightless conditioning essence smooths the cuticle using Glass Hair Technology. It creates the optimal surface for a mirror-like finish on even lackluster locks.
Inspired by luxury skincare, the salon-grade formula uses treatment-quality ingredients to impart hydration and light-reflecting shine to each strand. A plant-based hydration complex creates a moisture-retaining barrier to ensure nonstop hydration without weighing hair down, while a softening polymer blend sleeks and improves hair’s overall health and manageability.
