ITS ALL IN THE INGREDIENTS , MY DEAR

A CUTICLE SAVED

Lets start the weekly series off with something I have not done....something plastered on every single website you hit:

Support and promote a new product line !

I have a very hard time finding one that cares for the hair the way I think it should.. I stumbled across (although-not personally tried yet) a line of new products for curly - frizzy hair that show tremendous promise - how do I make that assumption without using them ?

As chemist's do:

Exclusively by: THE INGREDIENT LIST

Its rare that I find products that reach my expectations for hair, coming from different specialties. Many think my expectations are ridiculously high, but I have worked with over 10,000 heads of hair...I know the repurcussions of products with lousy ingredients. Manufacturers of products use 100 or 200 heads to make their products, that doesn't compare with the amount of heads of hair I have seen and watched over for at least 10 years.

Aveda has introduced a shampoo they claim reduces frizz and unwanted wave by mimiking the natural cuticle. ( With the ingredients they use they have a great shot at it).

the products are formulated with the company's plant infusion which includes aloe, maize and guar bean. The infusion is said to leave a deposit on damaged hair that restores the cuticle, mimics the nature of the cuticle and creates a foundation for smooth hair .



All of products use a number of ingredients I use in THRIVEN the Deep Hair condtioner that is a part of 10,000HEADS my 10 step STRONG HEALTHY HAIR Protocol, which I commend them for.



There are thousands of great ingredients out there, it just baffles me as to why none of these companies use them . . . . now I have found one company maybe I can refer to a lot in the future. here is a very accurate little vidoe clip of what we hear as hair stylists out of the mouths of "curlies"...check it out.

SLUMBER PARTY FOR THE STRANDS

FIRST AID THAT DOES NOTHING BUT WORK ON THE GROWTH OF HAIR.



The one trick to rejuvenating hair which provides extraordinary growth, is with a conditioner... but,

not a daily one.



What makes a hair conditioner work? Do they work?



Personally, I feel the daily conditioner should be axed - - totally.



9 out of 10 people want to know what to use to help their hair grow..... One of my Top 10 Answers?

Deep Overnight Conditioner.

Ask every female you know if they use hair conditioner, the result will be a resounding, yes...on the other hand take another poll ask how many of them have dry, damaged hair and feel they need better conditioning the numbers would hover around 75%-80%, ironically.

Its silly, like most things in the hair world.



I have a completely different theory on the whole daily shampoo trip and its nothing like they do back on the ranch. Sorry. But it works and it works well.



My theory half of Malibu uses:

• Shampoo with a sulfate-free shampoo ( no ALS no SLS ) shampoo once and rinse a minute longer than you think is necessary.


• If you don't have hair that is a tangled mess at this point, thank your lucky stars and skip this step. If you are like me and have a tangle-wangle nightmare, spray detangler or leave-in spray conditioner after the shower...coat just enough to get the brush through.


• Here is the twist <> you must find yourself a great deep conditioner or you can use just about anything > the turbo-treatment result comes from the length of time its on the hair. Once a week - every Sunday for me & many of my clients you take a bath, do all the weekly goodies shampoo - rinse and then after you are out of the shower you plaster your hair with the conditioner. Make sure it is at least an hour before bed - giving the goop time to dry ( hit with hair dryer a few times the heat helps the conditioner soak in deeper).Place towel on pillow, sleep. Serious cases use heating pad on low on/under towel, in the AM rinse hair out in sink - style and enjoy a yummy day of luscious locks.

The difference? No daily conditioning which has sparked a whole new problem of "gunked up hair" that needs DETOXING. Who the hell heard of detoxing your hair, the result of useless conditioner build-up and lousy shower water - nationwide.
