KeraSpa Brazil Natural Keratin Smoothing System 0% Formaldehyde

Allison — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:01:52 +0000

KeraSpa natural keratin smoothing treatment that now contains 0% Formaldehyde, Acai & Guarana fruit extracts with the addition of Argan oil. It smooths and reduces the volume of the hair in an easy and natural way. The treatment has combined two of Brazil’s natural assets, the Acai and Guarana fruits, with the newest technology of using amino acids, to provide women with their desired straight hair. Once the smoothing procedure is completed, the hair cuticles are completely filled and sealed. KeraSpa Natural smooths and reduces the volume of the hair. The results are visible in the first application.

Argan oil is derived from the argan tree endemic of Morocco now mainly in the south-west. Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, it is widely used revitalizing this product brings shine to the hair while restoring its natural softness and silkiness.

Besides the numerous benefits of the Acai and Guarana fruit extracts, we added Argan oil. KeraSpa smoothing treatment is rich in keratin, vitamin C, B1,B2, minerals, proteins, white clay and polyquarenium. KeraSpa’s 0% formaldehyde formula straightens the hair not chemically but physically, using cysteine amino acids synergy. The new combination regenerates and restructures the hair; therefore restores moisture, softness, brightness, vitality with a natural lasting smooth and silky effect.

This new KeraSpa system promotes curls relaxation and repairs damage caused by chemical processes in a single step. Due to its ability to penetrate the hair fiber, it provides brightness, restoration, conditioning, and strength to the hair fiber that may already be damaged by chemical process.

Chemically treated hair, whether by color process or other relaxers or straighteners, will have better results using the KeraSpa Smoothing treatment, since the hair is already porous and the cuticles are already opened due to these processes. Chemically treated fine or coarse hair, can achieve 100% efficiency results in the first application since the structure of the hair are already, altered due to the breaking of the disulfide bridges (structural links of the hair).

Most virgin hair has their cuticle layers and aligned. The penetration and action of the treatment in this case becomes harder. In virgin hair wavy frizzy hair, a volume reduction of up to 50% in the first application could be achieved. The percentage will be greater after the second application. However, on virgin hair without volume and of smooth texture, 100% effectiveness could be achieved in the first application, leaving the hair smoother, aligned and well balanced.

You can get a chemical treatment like coloring your hair 2 days before or 2 days after the smoothing treatment. The KeraSpa smoothing treatment results can last from 8 to 12 weeks; however there are some factors that can decrease the duration, such as excessive exposure to the sun, pool, sea water, washing your hair with a sulfate -free shampoo and conditioner and the constant use of hair bands. Dry your hair with a dryer (movement top to bottom). It is not necessary to use a brush. This will allow your hair to stay straight.

Revitalizing of the hair and scalp safely removes minerals, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper from water. It attaches onto the hair and scalp like a magnet. Revitalizing removes discoloration caused by minerals, oxidizers and medications. It also removes heavy styling product build up. Revitalizing stops oxidation from environmental elements (air, sun,water) that can damage (over-oxidize) your hair. It fuses strength to the hair proteins and helps restore shine, volume and manageability. It helps normalize exfoliation off the scalp layers, helps prevent dry, flaky, itchy scalp and replaces the need for clarifiers and deep conditioners that can other wise the hair dry and coated.

About Moroccan Oil

Allison — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:55:38 +0000

I started to use Moroccan oil a couple years ago. I love this product. It is ultra light and is a non-greasy formula of Argan oil that seals in shine and looks so healthy. To use Moroccan oil, take a few drops onto your palms and massage it onto your hair after shampooing and conditioning. When you keep on using this product your hair continues to improve, alleviating split ends and brittle ends. It absorbs instantly into your hair and eliminates frizz, speeding up styling time by 40%. It softens thick and unmanageable hair, strengthens brittle hair and protects against UV damage and other environmental factors.

Moroccan oil treatment is stored in an amber glass bottle that protects the oil from ultra violet rays that can cause oxidation and degradation. Suggested uses and directions: Apply a small amount of Moroccan oil on palms and work through damp hair after shampooing. Style as usual. Protection: Apply a small amount to dry hair to protect from damage caused by sun, wind, and other harsh environmental factors.

Moroccan Oil is a revolutionary styling, finishing and conditioning hair product.

Hair Conditioning

Allison — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:37:47 +0000

When buying a conditioner make sure you pick one with a “thermal protector” ingredient like dimethicone or phenyltrimeticone. These ingredients protect your hair from heat, which is especially important if you blow-dry your hair.

When you are using conditioner, first apply a small amount to the ends, where the hair is the driest. Then work towards your scalp. If you have a frizz problem, just keep the conditioner in your hair. Do not rinse it out of your hair. Wash and rinse your hair with warm rather than hot water. The Hot water strips protective oils from your hair. Make sure that you rinse your hair thoroughly after shampooing your hair. Shampoo that is left on your hair can leave a residue on your hair, which dries out the hair strands.

What products to use with the Marcia Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Allison — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 14:25:38 +0000

First you cannot wash your hair for 3 or 4 days with the treatment. So to get you by for a couple days you might think of using a dry shampoo. But you have to be careful of the ingredients. No Sulfates, Parabens, Sodium Chloride. So try Unite Dry Shampoo. Make sure that you shake the can before you use it. This shampoo doesn’t make your hair look dull. It will get rid of the oil from your scalp. It will refresh and revive your hair with lift at the scalp. It is gentle on your hair to use with the keratin treatment. When you can wash your hair finally it would be in your best interest to use a product that has keratin in the shampoo and conditioner. It keeps the treatment lasting alot longer than using just a regular shampoo. You could even use the shampoo and conditioner if you didn’t get the treatment. What it would do is calm your hair from the frizz.

How to keep your Holiday Haircolor!

Allison — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 10:04:54 +0000

First you have to avoid the fade. The wrong shampoo makes haircolor fade fast. Make sure the shampoo you’re using is sulfate-free. This makes for a mild and gentler cleanser that won’t make you loose your new haircolor.
If you don’t have time for a full color appointment, a clear gloss can put life back into your hair. The clear gloss will also condition and enhance the sheen. Are you worried about your haircolor fading this winter/season? A time-saving solution is to add a few highlights to your hair. Highlights don’t take nearly as long as a touch-up appointment and strategic placement adds contrast that will make your color pop all over again.
Refreshing your color can just be from a shampoo that contains color in the wash to restore your hairs dulling hues. These shampoos are handy for extending the life of hair that has been dyed red.
If you’re worried about financial demands this season, I will try to come up with a Holiday haircolor plan just for you. I will try to save you time, money and unnecessary frustration.

How to love your Curls again!

Allison — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:49:33 +0000

Let me help you learn how to embrace your curls! There is a proper way to style and care for your hair. On the Hollywood red carpets the last couple years, women are starting to let their curls be shown after a lifetime of straightening them. Curls are usually a love/hate relationship with my clients. I think that my clients get frustrated with the curls because they don’t know how to manage them. Curls right now are very big and undefined. Running fingers through your dry hair with a pomade will break up the curls. Whatever the style of your hair, hair health is important. Big and messy hair is good, but Big, Messy and Dry hair is not good. One must do in-home and in-salon deep conditioning treatments to KEEP YOUR HAIR LOOKING GOOD between cuts to smooth the cuticle. Haircuts can be scheduled between 6 to 8 weeks. Remember moisture and shine are the keys to beautiful curls. Hair Helpers!
