Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Hexapeptide-11

by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Philip added a lot of big tech to Tela Magic!  This is where science meets nature, enabling us to significantly improve the internal structure of the hair and do what we believe also meets today’s marketplace needs by combining technology into a product with over-the-top organic cache.

We know as we age, hair loss occurs due to the reduction of the anagen or active growing cycle phase of hair growth in the internal hair bulb.  Hexapeptide-11, a bio fermented peptide, helps improve collagen production in the hair bulb.

This improves follicle integrity and health resulting in a reduction in hair loss, an increase the size and smoothness of the hair bulb while providing anti-inflammatory properties and preserving antioxidant activity. Plus, it helps improve skin elasticity.

Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil

by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

One of the key proprietary mixes in our NEW Tela Magic is the Tela Certified Organic Seed Oils!  Chief among them our NEW Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil.  How to pronounce?  Pone-gam-ee-ah glah-bra Seed Oil! 

image source bioselect pongamia glabra

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil is derived from the seeds of the Millettia Pinnata tree, native to South and Southeast Asia.  This is a cold pressed non-fragrant plant oil.  Cold-pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing.  This is not required but insisted upon by Philip as it increases the potency and effectiveness of this hydrating marvel.

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil contains 9 fatty acids (Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, Linoleic, Linolenic, Arachidic, Eicosenoic, Behenic and Lignoceric) which benefit the hair and scalp by nourishing and moisturizing.  These also help as antiaging, slip, and heat protection agents.

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil also has natural antimicrobial, soothing, and antioxidant benefits thus helping to protect hair’s strength and hair color from fading.  Shine and some UV filtration properties benefit as well.  Plus, it’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine to calm and heal skin issues, so this also helps the scalp as well.  Ok, one more time, all together now…Pone-gam-ee-ah glah-bra Seed Oil!

The Philip Pelusi Chic Geek ~ Philip’s Non-Aerosol Policy Light Years Ahead of Its Time!

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

by Nikki B ~ Product Education Director

Today, product lines touting their environmental safety seems to be the norm.  But did you know that Philip Pelusi took this stance way back when he started creating hair care products over 50 years ago?  It’s true!  Philip Pelusi has NEVER created an aerosol product. 

No aerosol sprays, no aerosol mousse, no aerosol anything, not even in the 1960’s and then again not in the 1980’s when these types of products were in high demand by the public from which he could have had thousands of products sales.  But he still said no, aerosols do not fit into his product creation credo.

image source created in canvapro

Why?  Well, we believe that Philip must have an internal crystal ball in which he can see into the future, seeing today’s “green” trend way ahead of anybody.  But he could also see what was right in front of him too, meaning he looked around his salon knowing he wanted to help protect the safety of his guests, his stylists, their hair, and the environment from the foe of the aerosol product.

Philip believed then and still does now that he that does not want himself as a Designer, his employees or his guests breathing in harmful aerosol fumes day in and day out, week after week, month after month, year after year.  So intuitive, he felt this would be dangerous to the body.  Think about it, stylists doing hair in a relatively small space with fumes whirling about on a consistent basis.  And it turns out decades later he was absolutely right!

image source created in canvapro

Also, he believed that these aerosol carcinogens would inevitably be bad for the environment too.  Perhaps not ruin the ozone layer on their own but be a contributing factor to poorer air quality for the consumer using the product.

Additionally, Philip’s chief concern has always been with the quality of the guest’s hair fabric.  His mantra has always been that our hair is the most important fabric we wear.  We wear our hair fabric every day!  Hair products play one of most important roles in protecting and enhancing the hair texture and condition.  So why put drying carcinogens onto the hair via aerosol sprays or mousse?  Philip simply said no to that.

Instead, Philip created a strengthening non-aerosol mousse and 4 incredible non-aerosol styling and finishing sprays, P2 by Philip Pelusi Liquid Mousse, P2 Fluid Spray, P2 Define Root Lift Spray, P2 Rivet Finishing Spray and P2 Industrial Finishing Spray.  All non-aerosol and containing good for the hair ingredients such as plant proteins and moisturizers, UV filters and antioxidants.  And all of these formulas have been updated throughout the years too!

And one last mystery to unfold here, Philip’s intentional use of a small amount of an alcohol-derivative in his hairsprays so support his non-aerosol initiative.  Why?  Because all of Philip’s sprays are non-aerosol, they needed a way to get out of the bottle and onto the hair, to literally turn from a liquid into a spray.  And SD-Alcohol 40 is a safe way to do this!  Not a traditional “drinking” alcohol, this alcohol evaporates the second it hits the air. 

Simply put, the liquid “spray” comes up from the bottle up through the dispenser and then when it leaves the bottle, the split second it hits the air, this alcohol-derivative evaporates turning the liquid into a fine mist allowing it to disperse onto the hair without any alcohol getting onto the hair at all.  A non-aerosol workaround, if you will, to allow stylists and clients to get the hold and style they are looking for but with zero aerosol anything involved!

The Philip Pelusi Chic Geek ~ Maximum Concentration

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

by Nikki B ~ Product Education Director

Today, there is a lot of conversation and marketing about ingredients.  What is in a product and what is not in a product.  But what isn’t talked about so much is the level of concentration of the overall formula.  An ingredient can be a great ingredient but if there isn’t much of that ingredient in the product or the product is watered down, then it has no positive impact on the hair or scalp.

image source knowt

That’s NOT how Philip Pelusi creates a product.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  Philip hand selects the best quality, best result ingredients.  But he also makes what are universally known as the highest concentrated formulas in the hair care marketplace.

Most product formulas on the market contain about 80% water and only 20% ingredient concentration.  You can clearly see how ineffective these products and the ingredients therein would be to the hair and scalp.  The ingredients simply serve a marketing purpose so the company can say “we have this or that ingredient” in their product.

image source skinresearchinstitute

Instead, Philip Pelusi products contain 80 – 100% active ingredient concentration and only 10 – 20% base blend ingredients!  The opposite of other products on the market.  P2 and Tela Shampoos and Conditioners contain 90-100% ingredient concentration and all other P2 and Tela products contain 80% ingredient concentration.

Every formula created needs some type of base for all other ingredients to be mixed into.  Just like cooking.  If I am making marina sauce, I will start off with the finest quality, cold-pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then add garlic and so on until I build the entire recipe of marina sauce. 

image source foodandwine

The same is true with product creation.  Most companies start with 80% water as their base and then add the actual “effective” ingredients.  This is a much cheaper way to make a product.  Philip does NOT make his products this way.

image source aloe goodhousekeeping

Also, Philip’s “10 – 20% base ingredients” are specially formulated “base blends” that additionally have benefits to the hair and scalp.  Two examples of this are the 100% USDA Certified Organic Aloe in the P2 Shampoos and Conditioners and the 100% USDA Certified Organic White, Green and Oolong Tea in the Tela products.

green tea image source thehealthy

But most guests don’t know this!  It is up to us as Stylists to tell our guests this.  As you all know, we are the catalysts to make the product come alive and special to the guest with information and styling tips etc. 

Oolong tea image source healthline

Otherwise, it’s just stuff in a bottle and anyone can try to sell stuff!  We don’t!  Instead, we offer the path to achieving great, strong, beautiful, healthy, stylish hair!  Philip Pelusi Stylist + Philip Pelusi Products = Beautiful Hair!
