Kerastase Soleil UV Defense Summer Hair Care

Friday, June 13th, 2008

People often neglect there hair when they go on holiday. Have you ever though about the effects that intense summer sun, salt water and pool water can have on your hair? this is even more important to consider if you have colour or high lights on your hair. Just like our skin, UV rays can attack our hair and the hair will start to lose softness, shine and natural strength. The sun can also cause the colour of our hair to alter. Natural hair that has don been coloured becomes lighter and coloured hair can look dull and washed out. So what does this mean….well just like we protect our skin on holiday with sun block and protection. We should also start to look at ways to give our hair that extra protection.

Kerastase Soleil
 

 

A great way to look after the hair is by using a product range by Kerastase, called Kerastase Soleil. This new range includes 5 products to help us protect our hair in the summer months. Kerastase Soleil include Bain Après-Soleil, Kerastase Voile Protector, Masque UV Defense, Crème UV Defense and Defense Ultime.

 Kerastase Soleil UV Defense Masque

Kerastase Bain Apres-Soleil is a after-sun shampoo which repairs coloured and non-coloured hair which has been exposed to the sun. Eliminates the build-up of protection products (Masque, Spray and Creams) and removes external elements such as sand, chlorine and salt from the scalp and hair. Hair has longer lasting softness, suppleness and radiance. Keeps your hair colour in tip top condition.

Kerastase Masque UV Defense is a after sun treatment to repair coloured hair exposed to the sun. Hair is left soft and shiny with long lasting colour radiance to it.

Kerastase Soleil Micro-Voile Protector offers transparent high protection hair care for hair exposed to the sun, sea and chlorinated water.

Kerastase UV Defense Active is a multi-protection cream by Kerastase with UV filters for reinforced sun protection. Protects the hair when swimming in salt or chlorinated water and during exposure to the sun.

Kerastase Soleil Defense Ultime has been created for highly sensitised and colour-treated, rebellious hair. Using silicone, this nourishing cream provides advanced protection and a smoothing effect on the hair.

These really are a brill set for summer hair care and were winners of the In Style 2008 Magazine Best Beauty Buys. Maybe you hair is not something you pay a great deal of attention to in the summer, but I hope this will article make you re-consider. Especially, if you are like the majority of the population and you have colour treatments on your hair. Professionally applied hair colour can be a expensive service. So it make sense to do everything you can to look after your coloured hair during the up coming summer months.

Checkout Kerastase Soleil at Hair care Heaven or at HQhair who are both UK based online stockists. While at Strawberry net you can find the L’Oreal Kerastase Soleil Masque UV Defense Active ( For Weakened Color-Treated Hair ) pictured above in this article.

Tria Laser Hair Removal At Home

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Are all you ladies out there sick and tired of constantly having to shave, wax or pluck that unwanted body hair? Well on one my daily internet browsing missions i have come across a laser hair remover system by a company called TRIA. TRIA is simple to use. Once charged, TRIA allows you to select one of three levels of intensity appropriate for your degree of sensitivity. When applied to the skin, it emits a short pulse of light through an output window, covering multiple hair follicles in second-long intervals. When it’s time to move the output window, the device emits a short beep.

Available at Beauty Expert  and the  Tria Offical Site £745 - if you buy from the official Tria site you get a 30 day money back gaurantee.

 

Tria Laser Hair Removal System

 

 

 

 

 

 
TRIA targets hair growth beneath the skin. Because the diode laser reacts with the dark pigment of the hair shaft, the surrounding skin is not harmed. The result is beautifully smooth, radiant skin that doesn’t require the arduous maintenance of many other conventional hair removal methods. Now for the bad new ladies…this beauty costs a whopping £695…so what you need to think is how much do you spend yearly at the beauticians and is the pain worth it? Tria make the claim that over a 10 year period the Tria Hair Removal System will actually save you money (or see the Diagram below from Tria’s website).TRIA has three contact sensors to safeguard against misuse. If all three contact sensors are not touching the skin, the device will not emit a pulse of light. If the device is moved or lifted from the skin during a laser light pulse, TRIA will signal that the area needs to be treated again by emitting a short buzzing sound.

Check out Tria’s website for more info on this new productThe cost of having body hair removed over a ten year period.
