Kerastase Ciment Thermique - Heat Protection Without The Hassle

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Kerastase Ciment Thermique Reconstructing MilkWith massive popularity of heat styling tools, especially hair straighteners it is becoming more and more important to protect your hair from the extreme heat that hair straighteners, curling tongs and hairdryers extert on your hair. No matter how good the tools you use are - any extreme heat will sooner or later have a damaging effect on your hair. Causing the hair to split or breaking and making the colour of your hair fade. 

I so have decided to look at a Heat Protection Cream that has proved to be mighty popular in our Hair Salon. So what is this product and what does it do. Well, it’s Kerastase Ciment Thermique. Basically it is a Thermo-cosmetic reconstructing milk which reinforces weakened hair - which is often the result of constant straightening, blowdrying and colouring of the hair. Activated by heat, Ciment Thermique covers the hair fibre adding a layer of protection and moisture to the hair. The hair is left firm, supple and strengthened with added shine. The best thing about Kerastase Ciment Thermique is that one application of the cream before styling your hair lasts for 3-4 washes, so there is no need to apply every time you style you hair in the morning.

Spotting The Fake GHD Retailers

Friday, August 29th, 2008

It is possible to tell from looking at a pair of GHD’s if they are fake or not. the problem with this is if you are buying from a website or online you don’t get to see the product in person. So, you many only discover you have bought counterfeit GHD hair straighteners once the crooks have taken your money. As many use offical or stock images to try and con you. Therefore prevention and caution is the best cause of action when buying GHD IV stylers.

The first thing to know is that counterfeit GHD stylers are often sold through auction sites such as eBay, Ebid, Cqout and Gumtree. Look at where the goods are being shipped from. If the item is being shipped from the Far East e.g. China or Hong Kong or the shipping time is more than 3 or 4 days, it is likely to be a fake product. These products are not licensed to be made in these countries. but factories out there are able to produce cheap GHD copyies. This is why the price looks attractive.

Look carefully at the price: If the price being offered looks too good to be true, it usually is a reflection of the product’s poor quality. prices starting from £60-£80 should set of alarm bells, If someone is selling a set of GHDs for this price they are making a heavy loss - and why would they do that. It’s not like the GHD is a hard product to sell - people love them.

Remember that the sellers of fake goods will try to deceive you. Statements in the seller’s auction of ‘genuine product’, ‘holograms and security seals’ do not guarantee the authenticity of the item. Many of the fake GHD sellers are copying the hologram and the security seal. You may thing whats the harm in buying a fake GHD, you get fake watches, CD’s, DVD’s, hand Bags, Clothes etc and they are goods copies. Well apart from it being illegal. Buying a fake electrical item is also very dangerous. The fake GHD hair straighteners have passed to EU safety tests and have been made with total disregard for safety. Also all you are buying is a GHD casing with a low grade poor quality straightening technology inside. A £9.99 hair straightener is a GHD case. With a GHD its the performance you want.

As i have mentioned before, there are only a handful of approved only retailer. I have again listed these below. All these websites are either run by salon owners with GHD blessing and knowledge or they have been approved to do so.

Phyto Can Overcome the Problem of Dry Hair

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

When your hair is dry it will often appear dull and brittle and become difficult to style. This dryness is due to insufficient sebum and water due either sabaceous glands not producing enough sebrum or chemical, physical or climatic factors. Such as colouring, blow-drying, sun, wind, chlorinated water and sea water. Phyto have devloped a collection of products to protect your hair from dryness and add nourishment to the hair’s fibre. These are Phytojoba shampoo, Phytosesame conditioner, Huile D’Ales oil treatment and Phyto 7 hydrating cream in the Phyto Dry Hair range. Phyto is a fantastic French product which has a great peputation for results. The brand has been around for many years and has stood the test of time. Phyto products are made from natural planted based extracts and is made in a enviromentally friendly way.

If the hair remains untreated it’s condition will deteriortae and lose essantial components of Keratin, such as amino acids and thescales of the hair will not lie flat, making the hair porous, fragile and hard to detangle. if this occurs you will need to step up your Phyto treatment to the next level and use the Phyto range for ultra-dry hair. this includes Phytonectar shampoo, Phytonectar oil treatment, Phytokarite conditioner and Phyto 9 nourishing cream.

Phytojoba shampoo

PhytoJoba Shampoo for Dry HairPhytojoba shampoo is a gentle acting, creamy shampoo with fantastic hydrating properties which will enhance the natural protection of the hair and maintain its good condition. Ingredients including Jojoba oil and cornflower will help to hold in moisture at the core of the hair’s fiber - resulting in your hair rapidly regaining a natural shine and suppleness. I hope you noted that i said a natural shine. Phyto, unlike other brands do do pump there products full of chemicals. So the results you achieve are natural and in the long run, much better for your hair.

Phytosesame Conditioner

Phytosesame express hydrating Conditioner is fast acting which provides dry hair with the important nutriants it lacks. full of nourishing ingredients - such as sesame, jojoba, castor plant oils, cocoa and shea butter - Phytosesame ensure nouirshments its provided deep-down in the hair fiber, helping to re-build the protective film covering the hair. the rapesees oil derivative will instantly detangle the hair withouit weighing it down like chemically formulated products can. After sahmpoing your hair with Phytojoba, leave Phytosesame on for about 2 minutes to restore strenght, shine and softness.

Phyto Huile D’Ales

The Phyto Huile D’Ales Intense hydrating oil treatment is a unique combination of essentails, specially formulated by the experts at Phyto to moisturise, smooth and restore shine to dry hair. With a water soluable formula, Huile D’ales can be rinsed out easily and preserves the texture of even the finest of hair. if applied before colouring, Huile D’ales will provide the very best protection for the hair and scalp, without interfering with the chemical action of the colour - making the hair colour appear more soft, vibrant and smooth.

Phyto 7

A great hair cream - Phyto 7 is a plant-based cream consisting of seven diffferent plant extracts for the natural world, which have proven hydrating and replenishing properties (Calendula, Sage, Burdock, Willow, Soybean, Rosemary and Althea). This creamy but non-greay forula works to enhance the natural protection of the hair and maintain mositure level in the hair fiber. Phyto 7 can be used on towel-dried hair afer shampooing with PhytoJoba or applied to dry hair throughout the day as and when your hair needs it.

Phyto Thinning Hair & Hair-Loss Products

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Phyto Hair Loss ProductsWhen i’m working in my hair salon in Leicester i get a lot of customers looking for soultions to hair loss and thinning hair. We stock a few different brands that cater for hair loss including Kerastase Aminexil, Kerastase Bain Prevention, Kerastase Densitive and the Revlon Intragen range. They are all very, very good products and have there advantages. However, one brand that i really have a soft spot for is the Phyto range. Phyto is a French brand whose products are plants. They have a great selction of hair loss product for Women - including Phytocyan, PhytoPolliene and Phytophanere. For Men, they have - Phytoaxil, Phytotrixil and again Phytophanere.

I think unfortunatley Phyto suffers from a brand image problem. We have members of our salon team who are often reluctant to recommens the Phyto hair products. I think its a combination of the lack of advertising, the packaging (they use to be in glass bottles) and the often unappealing smell - but come on its a natural products, it smell that way because its natural and not pumped with perfume and chemicals like other hugh profile brands. It should be whats in the bottle what counts and based upon the results Phyto has produced for the clients that have taken Phyto home with them its is definately right up there.

As i mention earlier Phyto has a excellent thinning hair and hair loss range  - which is all natural, so the great results you get for real on cosmetic like other products which use temporary bulking agents, which give the appearance of thicker hair and more body. I urge you, if you are looking for a great thinning hair product you can’t go wrong with Phyto - and to be honest the smell is not that bad and its gone when rinse your hair anyway. If all you want is great smelling hair go with the chemicall riddle mega brands and supermarket crap……its you want healthy, good looking hair that is actually in good condtion the go for Phyto. Phyto is available for UK Delivery at Haircare Heaven and world-wide delivery at HQHair.
