Bring the best out of your hair, treatments decoded!

Do you ever look around at all the healthy, shiny hair on others that seems to cooperate so well and think, "Why can't my hair be that nice?". Or maybe you struggle getting your hair smooth because it feels so unruly. In my experience, I notice that almost half of people are not giving their hair all that it needs as far as nourishment. This could be vitamins, protein, light moisture, heavy moisture, sunscreen, and any combo of those!


I want to help educate you on some of the great treatments that are out there, and stress that by using them once a week or even less, your hair will look, feel, and behave better. Most of these treatments run about $20- that's not badfor something that you could get away with using twice a month!! Now sure, you can always pay me to do a treatment when you come see me.... but most of you don't, and those who do are always so desperate for one when they come in.

Here are a few winners!





Redken Color Extend Rich Recovery
Protective treatment provides deep conditioning to leave hair treated, manageable and vibrant.

Why It Works:
> Luxurious cream-gel formula provides deep conditioning
> Helps preserve the intensity of haircolor
> Leaves hair treated and manageable with highly reflective shine

Recommended for clients wanting to keep that just-been-colored shine and feel.


Interested? Take it to the next level with this:



Redken Color Extend Shine Enrich

Protect haircolor further while helping to seal split/dry ends, smooth flyaways, and impart a mirror like shine.

This product is AMAZING for getting healthy looking shine. A nice light serum complete with sunscreens.



Redken Fresh Curls Curl Recovery

This is a wonderful rich, rinse out mask. This is for someone who wants to replenish and restore dry, curly hair.


Why It Works:
> Moisture-rich formula deeply conditions medium to coarse, dry curls
> Conditioning and styling polymers revive parched strands and help restore elasticity and definition
> Strengthens to help prevent damage
> Provides the highest level of moisture in the Fresh Curls range
> Curls are quenched with healthy bounce and frizz-controlled shine




Redken Extreme Deep Fuel Treatments

Serious Damage control!! This product has been around for almost as long as I've been doing hair- and I swear by it. This treatment is for someone with highlighted, or highlifted hair who needs more than just moisture. When your hair is lightened, or has had many chemical treatments, it feels dry, has poor elasticity, dull, and is in danger of breakage. Most often people think there hair is just dry, but really it is missing essential proteins that have been lost during the lightening process. You can moisturize till the cows come home, but that moisture essentially goes in, and slips right back out. You need protein.


Why It Works:
> Helps restore very distressed hair back to its natural, healthy state
> Provides long-term conditioning and repair that lasts up to eight shampoos
> Hair is stronger, shinier and more manageable
> After 5 single treatments, hair is up to 3 times stronger compared to an ordinary shampoo alone in lab brushing tests


If you fall in this category, you may want to STRONGLY consider this long time favorite as well.




Redken Extreme Anti-Snap

Leave-in treatment gently smooths the cuticle and helps fortify hair that's prone to breaking, splitting or snapping off.

This award winning wonder can work miracles on your chemically or heat stressed hair. This is a perfect product to have if you want to grow out your hair, as it prevents breakage.

That's all for now! Lot of info, I'll make a part two in the future. FYI, these are all tried and tested products that I use regularly on myself or on clients.
