Many of my clients have complained of their hair becoming “oily” and limp throughout the day. I have tried many products that claim to be the thing for limpness but I really love Stila’s. The Stila Hair Refresher, available in two scents, Creme Bouquet and Jade Blossom is a hair refreshing, oil absorbing powder that gets shaken onto the root and just disappears into the scalp. There’s no caking or residue to deal with. Many people have used talcum or baby powder for the same purpose but I shy away from that due to the flour-like mess it could make. Stila’s Hair Refresher is the perfect product for those people who believe they must shampoo every day to avoid looking greasy at the root. I am a firm believer in shampooing every other day, especially color or chemically treated hair. This product makes that possible for everyone. Stila Hair Refresher even helps add volume to limp hair with a warm, sweet scent. If you are someone who’s locks need a lift at the root give this one a shake!

Damaged, over processed, dry or frizzy hair? Love natural or organic products? Have I got a solution for you. From Phyto the Phytosesame Express Hydrating Conditioner
deeply hydrates and repairs damaged hair in as little as a few minutes. A few pumps of this light and neutral smelling lotion is all you need to reinvigorate your strands. Oils from sesame, cocoa butter, shea butter and the castor plant help promote your healthy shine and because the oils penetrate the shaft they help with your hair’s flexibility therefore its strength. Healthy shiny hair = a happy shiny you. Or me, or them, well you get it.
Get a 5 oz. pump and use it this Summer especially for you pool swimmers. I have two clients who are avid swimmers and swear by Phyto Phytosesame Express for chlorine damaged hair.

I used to be a fanatic fan of Frederic Fekkai. Like a celebrity crush, I was right out of school and he was the hottest thing to hit New York. Fresh and modern and he’s not a bad looking guy either. However a visit to the salon proved nothing to me other than what counts is seeing the beauty in your client so he/she can too. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a world-class salon and his clientele is nothing short of amazing. For the everyday, real busy, modern women my clients and I are, I do love their product and one in particular I have at my station for special occasions – although the less I use it the better. What do I mean? Well if you’ve ever had that terrible experience of over-processing color or bleaching until you can hear your strands snap, then Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo is your new best friend.

Fekkai’s Technician line is formulated for color treated hair and is salon grade. Meaning you’re not going to find this on the convenience store shelves. This shampoo will replenish moisture and restore hair to good health by strengthening and protecting it. Natural cleansers gently clean the hair while natural conditioners add moisture. Apricot, avocado, calendula, and peach provide extra moisture and softness to hydrate the hair. Abused hair will be softer, smoother, and shinier. Easier to manage and hopefully on its way back from the dead and to good health.

It’s saved my clients from bad experiences elsewhere a few times and I must say I do stand behind Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo to revive damaged hair.

If there’s one product I use like it’s going out of style it must be Redken Smooth Down Shampoo. Combined with the conditioner of the same name it leaves hair manageable, smooth and shiny. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve recommended this too and after a few days of using Smooth Down, their hair is less frizzy, easier to style and looking healthy. Use it just like any other shampoo – wet your hair, massage it in, lather and rinse. It’s gentle, simple and effective.

Redken’s exclusive Interbond Conditioning System delivers a unique Ionic Smoothing Complex of macadamia oil, candelila wax and cationic refiners to help replenish oils, provide intense smoothing and a long-lasting, frizz-free finish.
