Hair Conditioner Designed To Sleep In . . .

Killerstrands has this amazing conditioner that truly works miracles.
The reason it does? Think about this:
You know how you apply your Super-Repairing-Delux moisturizing cream to your face at night and sleep with it on your skin? So that it can use those 6-8 hours to work ???
Same theory.
A great wonderful-Deep conditioner needs to be on the hair for 6-8 hours.

I would honestly say that {approx.} 95% of the people who try Thrive.n (pronounced thrive...nnn) fall in love. If you have curly - damaged - frizzy - color damaged hair (as well as hair thinning) one night of this will knock your sox off. I wanted to announce and display Thrive.n's new look, the exterior of the product was due for a new label but I have never been able to come up with a better concoction than I have whats in there...so there just will never be a 'new' version . Not when this one is so damn successful.

Men, Women, Tweens, it is a tremendous hair conditioner that has produced thousands of successful hair make-overs for people.

 I'm not really great at blowing my own horn...I always thought that was an unattractive quality in a person. But for an Internet store - -  5 years after I began, if you don't blow your own horn and blow it LOUD and FAST, everyone else will blow right past you. Which is what is happening. So I am going to try some new methods of getting the word out there. I would be so pleased if I could get my message to more women and men - I fear for them - I truly honestly do.
 There is this new Super- campaign for a new product line, they tagged Heidi Klum to promote....called "CLEAR" Shampoo supposedly for the scalp. The shampoo has Sodium Lauryl Sulfate as the 2nd entry in its ingredient list. Sulfates are the main reason that scalp problems went from a very small 1 in 30 to now it is as high as 8 in 10 who have scalp issues. Do you know why? Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Sulfates gave them their scalp problems.

 Do you know that the # 1 shampoo we sell is Malibu 2000 Scalp Wellness? Of all the glorious shampoo entries we have the scalp wellness Shampoo and our Scalp Kits that truly work about as well as anything a Dermatologist kit can give you- sell like there is no tomorrow . . The trick to many peoples scalp problems? Use the Sulfate-free Shampoo and nothing is better than the Malibu 2000 Scalp Wellness Shampoo.
This is what is in what we call the SSSS : Simple Silly Scalp Solution ! HA HA I must have been slap-happy when I came up with that one !
Here are the contents of the SSSS Kit:
  • Shampoo brush 
  • Scalp wellness Shampoo
  • Scalp Wellness Treatment Packet  & the very best addition:
  • PURIFY-Kaaral's Scalp Scrub. Which sells faster than the shampoo !
the SSSS Kit, here's your link. . .

  these sell like crazy but we don't have a lot of chatter about scalp issues in the group I wish we did ! Talk it up I studied scalp issues for many months in Cosmetic Chemistry. I think people are shy about it but maybe if you knew the numbers you wouldn't be.


Try the kit it has thousands of successful heads floating around the country (and world) if scalp issues are yours. 


Also when you are finished apply Gleam while you sleep...that will solve a scalp issue almost immediately...

L'ANZA the Hair Care Line with the Weirrrrrd Name

What makes one more line of hair products worth your time & hard earned money to invest in?

L'ANZA.Who are they ?? ?It may not seem like it, but I spend a lot of time and effort researching what I present to you in the Killerstrands Store. Every single item that is in that store would be in my Salon, and I would be actively using and recommending to my clients. I didn't have to, my work spoke for itself. But, I just feel that it is very important for my credibility, to recommend products at the same level of expertise that I had. Same with the Killerstrands store. People will call and ask me to choose my favorite shampoo for them.... I swear to you, I love every one. . . I suppose I could (and probably should) carry all the products that are marketed to reach the public ... they do that so you will come into the Salon and ASK for them. But, that is all part of the ridiculous system of keeping the top quality products out-of-your-hands.

 There is just so much more than meets-the-eye, when I bring you products of any kind. I always want to stand by the products I recommend, I'm not too sure that everyone sells top quality products as opposed to the one's that spend the most on Advertising.. I guess good advertising does work.
You know whats funny though, as a result of the advertising - I work the opposite way. . .and I encourage you to do the opposite as I have never heard of one instance where my theory is not correct. All great lines of products are small and and have 1 owner who truly cares about what goes in those bottles, so that is what I hunt for in the absolutely ridiculous amount and array of hair care lines that are out there.

There are so many of you that try so hard to understand haircolor theory....and I can just tell its like I am speaking Greek to you. I am hoping that the brilliant way L'ANZA has set up their color line might completely make sense of the nonsensical way that hair color works. Today in our illustrious Forum...there were a couple questions that I hope will help display the reasoning of how it works.


Hair Color as I have said many times is a formula. It is NOT guesswork, as I see so many hair stylists treat it as. You MUST use the rules of this formulation in order to get the DESIRED results. Using these rules does not mean every single person can have any hair color they want. Nope it just isn't that magical at this point. Its funny in the last 60 years Hair Color chemistry has not changed much at all.


L'Anza has over 70 shades of hair color with 6 dedicated developers offering unlimited flexibility and full spectrum. Now this is the part that I believe you may have a hard time understanding and I want questions with this post I will get to them I PROMISE!l


Now what these very smart Californians have done with their system (every company has a different system) is to use the SAME tube of Hair Color........across the board. Now, this particular Color is the only hair color that heals, seals and protects using exclusive Flower Shield Complex and Keratin Healing System for richer, longer-lasting color. 

Now, this line of color is different than any other color what you can do is use 1 tube of hair color with any of the 6 developers.
 They have 6 developers :
 Translucent
Demi-Permanent
10 Volume
20 Volume
30 Volume
40 Volume 
__________________________
 
Lets say you have Level 7.5 color with 25% Gray - - ( I believe there is such a difference from 1 level to the next...many times I will formulate for that 'half shade'.)
-- Now if the gray is brand new - and its not very resistant to covering, so it covers easily ....I would choose formula # 1.... 
-- if the gray on that hair is resistant and does not stay covered for the entire 6 weeks then Formula #2 should be used. 
--Now, if this same person had NO gray & just wanted to refresh their own color. . . you could use Formula #3

FORMULA #1 : 7/0N + 8/71P + Demi-Permanent - V { mixing an "8" and a "7" will give you a 7.5 }
FORMULA #2 : 7/0N + 8/71P + 20Volume
FORMULA #3 : 7/0N + 8/71P + Translucent

Does that make sense to you . . .??? if it does or doesn't . . . please leave a comment so I can decipher their color system for you.
This is the same exact way every line would work and I dare them all to try this, it makes SO MUCH SENSE.

 This collection features 73 fabulous shades, 6 dedicated Developers, Powder Lightener, Color-Cleansing Shampoo,and complete color accessories. 




Now what this chart is trying to show you is how each color can be used with a different developer, the developer "LEVEL" is what determines what type of color you end up with.

I think its hard for many people to understand, but the type of color you are using is determined by the Volume of developer you mix the color to and this line show you that. So many of you are used to the "old' way of formulating hair color.... today it is more simple.

If you took a tube of " Demi-Permanent" hair color and used 40 Volume hair color  - -  POOF - - you now have made it permanent hair color. 
BECAUSE you used 40 Volume.  
Just because the tube of color says it is Demi-permanent that is not what determines it to be that type of color. The Volume of the developer is the determining factor. 
Make sense?
 Therefore,  when I began to study up on L'Anza, I was very mad at myself for not learning about it a very long time ago .  Finally a line that understands how hair color works. It has always been about the developer's Volume....we finally have a line that gets it!

There does not need to be the word printed on a tube of color that says Demi-permanent, beCAUSE - you can work any line of color this exact same way. 

This is how every line of color should be designed. If Cosmetologists cannot pick up how to work the color system, maybe the system needs to change. All you cosmetologists out there start barking to your Reps. Tell them, to design whatever line you like just like L'ANZA. You watch how fast things change in your favor ! !
