Philip Pelusi Product Kickstart Videos ~ Season Changing Hair-weather Friend

Posted on Posted in Epic 5 Star Products

Hair takes on whatever air environment it is in. This explains why hair gets frizzy or limp in high spring and summer humidity and why hair gets static in dry fall and winter air. In a higher moisture air environment, hair takes on moisture from the air. And in a lower moisture air environment, moisture is literally sucked out of the hair by the air around it, leaving it dry and reaching for moisture.

So as we now head into fall, be mindful of the air change and make a slight adjustment in your product selection for you hair. Choose products that add hydration to help keep static at bay and leave hair silky and shiny. Here are some Philip Pelusi products designed specifically to help with fall and winter hair issues in these 2 min videos…

The Philip Pelusi Chic Geek ~ Color Protecting Force Field!

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

by Nikki B ~ Product Education Director

If you’re a Star Wars fan, then you’re familiar with the Millennium Falcon’s Deflector Shield and that its primary purpose was to deflect or block things like lasers or damaging projectiles from hitting the ship.  Sorry for the pop culture reference but it depicts exactly how Philip’s Tela Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex works in Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+!  Let me explain.

Healthy, non-chemically or non-color treated hair has a natural shield around it.  This natural “deflector shield” helps shield the hair from fadage, moisture loss and to some degree heat damage.  But once hair has been chemically or color treated, this shield breaks down.  This is true even if the chemical or color service has been responsibly.  This weakened hair means its internal structure has been compromised.  Meaning its bonds or links are broken or damaged.  This can also happen due to aging, heat and even the environment i.e. the sun.

We do not want this happening to the hair.  In other words, hair’s natural shield is now vulnerable to other attackers (heat, water, chemicals, color) that will further breakdown the hair fiber.  This also means hair looks and performs like compromised or damaged hair.  It loses luster, feels rough and dry, and does not style well.

Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex, the cornerstone ingredient in Philip’s Tela Color Lock+, helps restore this shield as it strengthens hair’s internal structure up to 3x’s more than that of untreated hair.  How?  Its small molecule structure is designed to penetrate deep into the cortex creating new hydrogen and ionic bonds that help strengthen hair fiber similar to the levels in virgin hair a.k.a. it helps rebuild this shield.  Not permanently, nothing can do that, but with repeated use Tela Color Lock+ creates an environment for the hair to act, look and perform like healthy hair.

Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex acts like an oxidation shield to help protect color treated hair from surfactant or water stripping, so important especially since water is the #1 color fader.  Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex significantly reduces leakage of color molecules during and after shampooing by helping restore this shield naturally found in healthy hair.  This helps create long lasting color retention and conditioning effects as well as incredible vibrancy and shine.

One last note is how Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex’s benefits also improve the condition of the hair.  This oxidative shield also works to buffer the oxidative footprint of the hair color during application.  Less damage is done so the hair looks better afterwards. 

Also because of its action in creating new hydrogen and ionic bonds this by default helps renew the condition of the hair improving strength, shine, and performance!  May the force be with you…courtesy of Philip Pelusi’s Tela Color Lock+ in this Color Lock+ 10 min educational video…

BuZZworthy @ Philip Pelusi ~ Take That to The Bank!

Posted on Posted in BuZZworthy

It was arguably known as one of the coolest spaces in Pittsburgh in the 70’s and 80’s, The Philip Pelusi Bank Center location opened in 1977 in downtown Pittsburgh.  Along with the totally unique space, was a team of superstar talents, Philip’s Designer staff circa 1979.  The Designers in this photo were the winners of a Philip Pelusi Volumetric Haircutting and Design Contest!

Mega talents from back in the day like Toni (far right batwing sleeve dress) and legendary mega talent Jeffrey can be spotted in photo too (in motion at the top right of group).  Jeffrey joined Philip’s talent team in 1979, eventually becoming the 1st Philip Pelusi Creative Director and then eventually the 1st Philip Pelusi International Creative Director.  And today the Philip Pelusi legacy of talent continues now and into the future!
