“Incredible Ingredient: Philip Pelusi Rocket Ivy Blend”

It makes a colorist cringe when they hear their guest say they shampoo their hair more than once a day, such as in the morning and then again later in the day.  Ouch!  But then after hearing the reasoning behind their actions, we realize a lot of these guests are doing this over-washing to combat one of the most frustrating and sometimes emotionally difficult things for a guest to deal with, an overly oily scalp.

Nothing can be more frustrating for someone then cleansing, conditioning and styling their hair perfectly in the morning only to have it start to go limp, and look dirty and oily throughout the day.  No wonder they want to cleanse again!  But what is really happening here?

Some people are just “hard wired” to have an overly oily scalp, meaning their scalp is not in Ph balance.  Their scalp is naturally too “positively” charged.  So, their body’s natural reaction is to get their scalp in Ph balance.  How?  By creating excess oil and sending it to the surface of the scalp to put it in Ph balance.  This is why over-cleansing or harsh detergents can actually make the body want to create more oil, faster.  And although natural scalp oil can be an excellent hair lubricant especially for those with drier hair textures, it can wreak havoc with someone’s style.  Especially someone with a finer hair type even if it is a medium density.

Enter the Philip Pelusi Rocket Ivy Blend to save the day!  This totally unique, Pelusi-proprietary Microemulsion contains natural ingredients Rocket Leaf, Ivy, Whortleberry and Watercress that naturally puts the scalp in Ph balance.  The scalp is in balance, so the body doesn’t feel the need to secrete excess oil.  This revolutionary blend plays this scientific trick on the scalp and body resulting in the scalp staying cleaner longer and the hairstyle lasting longer throughout the day, and sometimes days, meaning the guest can find they might even be able to skip a day of shampooing!  And since water is the #1 hair color fader, this helps preserve the color and the condition of the hair better in that more of the natural lubricants are left on the hair.  Hair and hair color are not stripped away by over-cleansing.

This masterful blend is in Philip’s P2 by Philip Pelusi DeTox Treatment Shampoo.  This makes it a perfect shampoo to recommend to any guest with overly oily scalps, even teenagers.  It is also the perfect recommendation for any guest with fine, limp, spare hair whose hair reacts negatively to too much oil at the base of the follicle by immediately going limp.  Hair stays cleaner longer so styles last longer too!

Also, the P2 DeTox gives a gentle cleanse with no harsh detergents, thus helping preserve a healthy scalp environment and hair color too.  It makes the perfect companion shampoo to the P2 Roots for Men Shampoo and P2 Exfoliate for anyone dealing with an oily dandruff problem.  P2 DeTox helps control the oil while the P2 Roots and P2 Exfoliate help slough off the dead skin cells.  The scalp is left feeling healthy and fresh.  And these shampoos can be used everyday or alternated as need.

“Incredible Ingredient: The Pelusi Sugarcane Cleanse”

Philip Pelusi is a product master chef when it comes to creating the very best hair care products on the market.  This revolutionary Product Artist uses the highest technology, Micro Emulsion Technology to not only perfect his world-class ingredients, but to create incredibly unique proprietary blends that make his products one of a kind. 

One of these totally unique blends is his Pelusi Sugarcane Cleanse which includes 4 revolutionary ingredients: Sugarcane, Sugar Maple, Bilberry and Appleseed.  Why such an interesting compilation of ingredients?  This precise blend gently cleanses the hair and scalp while preserving both the color and integrity of the hair.  But there’s more…

Generally, years-back it was sulfates, coconut derived cleansing agents, that did most of the cleansing in most products on the market and they also contributed to creating bubbles during the actual shampoo process.  At Philip Pelusi we always took a gentler approach to cleansing hair using limited amounts of sulfates over the years.

Fast-forward to 7 years ago and all the way up to and including today and into the future, Philip Pelusi P2 Ultimate and Tela Beauty Organics Shampoos became and are Sulfate Free.  This is when Philip created his Pelusi Sugarcane Cleanse and integrated it into his shampoos.  This plant derived blend of Sugarcane, Sugar Maple, Bilberry and Appleseed gently cleanse the hair and scalp while preserving the color and the integrity of the hair.  Translation?  Hair color lasts even longer than before and the actual tensile strength of the hair is left stronger, making it more resilient to heat styling and other types of damage.

The Pelusi Sugarcane Cleanse also leaves the hair with an incredible high level of shine as well.  Making hair color gleam, showing off the stylist’s incredible artistry!  This blend is not designed to create bubbles because bubbles are not needed to make the hair or scalp clean.  But instead, like professional skincare, less bubbles are better and gentler for the hair and scalp and most importantly the color investment.

Keep in mind, no matter what the ingredient, there is no one single ingredient that creates a wonderful product but instead the product as a whole.  The quality and amount of the ingredients, the high level of concentration of the total formula, the balance of the formula and so much more.  Stay tuned for more to be a Chic Geek!

“Incredible Ingredient: The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend”

Philip Pelusi is like a master chef when it comes to creating the best haircare products in the world.  Not only selecting the very best ingredients but also his use of Micro Emulsion Technology to perfect the size of these ingredients for the best penetration but also to create incredibly unique proprietary blends that make his products one of a kind.

One of these blends is The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend consisting of 6 natural plants; Matricaria, Asafetida, Sage, Horseradish, Grapeseed and Blackberry.  These natural wonders arm the hair and scalp with a quadruple threat against harmful conditions serving as Antioxidants, Ultra-Violet Ray Filters, Strengthening Proteins and Weightless Moisturizers.  The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend is found in P2 Potion, the first product created to contain this totally unique ingredient blend, but it is also peppered throughout the P2 product line.  Here’s why this revolutionary blend benefits the hair and scalp…

The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Antioxidants to help protect hair color from fading and to help protect the hair from hair-degrading free-radical pollutants.  How does this work?  Once hair has been touched by ammonia (present in hair color) it leaves a small oxidative footprint, even after being properly cleanses away, that will cause oxidation (fading).  The antioxidants in The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend will dramatically help slow this process.  Free radical pollutants (pollutants present in the air) also land on the hair and skin degrading or weakening the hair fabric.  Again, The Pelusi Matrix Blend helps guard against this.

The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as UV Filters to help protect hair and scalp from the degrading rays of the sun.  Did you know the sun can give hair a sunburn similar to skin?  It’s true!  The Ultra-Violet Rays of the sun degrade the collagen and elastin in the skin, but it also erodes the protein in the hair.  Day to day and most definitely prolonged exposure to the sun means weak, porous, tangled, dry, dull and faded color.

This is because UV Rays erode the cuticle and eventually the cortex of the hair leaving hair porous and vulnerable to even more damage from color, chemicals and heat styling.  We know that once enough protein is chipped away, hair strands thin and eventually break off.  Nothing can permanently block sunlight, but with consistent application of The Pelusi P2 Matrix blend through various products such as P2 Potion, we can help prevent and reduce sun damage, helping to protect beautiful hair and color investments alike. 

The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Strengthening Proteins that not only help make hair more resilient to damage (color, chemical, heat, styling) but also help create slip to the surface of the hair helping with detangling.  They also help fill in broken cuticle sights making hair feel smooth and look shinier.

The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Weightless Moisturizers that help hydrate hair and scalp.  This means better protection while heat styling, better detangling and a smoother hair surface.  Great for before and after sun exposure too but with a light natural feel.  Nothing heavy or sticky.

“Philip’s Psychic Forecast of Today’s Skin-ovating Approach to Hair Care”

Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, UV Filters and Vitamins, just to name a few, were ingredients once only reserved for skin care but today are all the rage in the haircare marketplace and being written about in blog after beauty blog.  But this is not foreign territory to us at Philip Pelusi.  Philip has been integrating skin care ingredients in his haircare formulas since day one.  And with good reason.

Philip has always believed that a healthy scalp is the precursor to every great head of hair.  And especially since the scalp is merely an extension of our foreheads, it seems natural to treat it in a similar way to our face or body.  And with hair and skin also both being composed of keratin protein, enhancing it with the same ingredients also makes sense.  So, “skin-ovating” one’s hair care routine makes for a great foundation for any great hair color, texture service or Volumetric Haircut.  Here are several Philip Pelusi revolutionary skincare lookalike marvels:

Ceramides – Once only reserved for face and neck treatment products, Philip created his Patent Pending Hydro-Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex to help rebuild, strengthen, moisturize and seal in color.  It’s present in all P2 Ultimate Shampoos, Conditioners and Smart Styling Treatments.

Hyaluronic Acid – Now being pronounced phonetically by a famous actress in Loreal skincare commercials, saying “hya-lur-on-ic acid”, as if it is a brand new ingredient.  Almost 50 years ago Philip put this still-revolutionary moisture binding powerhouse in his P2 Deep Hydrating Treatment and P2 Lite Leave In Conditioner.  We can recommend this treatment mask and a hydrating mist, vernacular once only reserved for skin care products, to help improve the hair and scalp.

Salicylic Acid – Used frequently in skin care to help rapidly exfoliate surface dulling dead skin cells.  Philip created the first ever anti-dandruff shampoo, P2 Exfoliating Shampoo Treatment, with this skincare marvel along with other skin hydrators such as Marsh Plant.  It works gently to lift off dry or oily dandruff to produce a healthier scalp environment and allow better penetration of beneficial scalp ingredients.

Probiotics – Relatively new to the skincare ingredient scene to help balance the skin’s microflora (good bacteria), Philip created the first ever probiotic hair care line Tela Beauty Organics Life Force Shampoo, Conditioner, Scalp Serum and Mask. 

UV Filters – Hair can get a sunburn just like the skin, causing dryness, color loss and breakage.  So why reserve daily sun protection for face or body only?  There are Ultra Violet Light Filters in every Philip Pelusi product.  P2 Potion and Tela Guardian Angel are the biggest protectors while Philip’s proprietary Matrix Blend of 6 UV Filters run throughout many of the P2 product line.

Deep Cleanse – Just like in skincare, sometimes we need a remedy to manage an over oily scalp.  Philip invented his P2 Detox Shampoo Treatment containing Philip’s proprietary oil-reducing micro-emulsion, the Philip Pelusi Rocket Ivy Blend.  You get a deep but gentle cleanse and with these Ph balancing ingredients, a cleaner scalp throughout the day.

Hydrating Oils – Face oils are all the rage today and with Tela Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum we have a haircare hydrating equivalent.  Containing 4 different oils, Quinoa, Sunflower, Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Sachi Inchi to hydrate and help heat protect the hair and scalp.

Anti-oxidants and Vitamins – Essential to any skincare routine, these ingredients were often only reserved for facial serums and treatments.  While Vitamins C, E and A, Organic Milk Thistle, Organic Chinese Foxglove and Organic Reishi Mushroom are just a few of the hundreds of anti-oxidants and vitamins threaded throughout both the Tela and P2 product lines working to protect and fortify the hair and scalp.

“Philip Pelusi Rx ~ The Hair Doctor is In!”

Have you noticed Philip created an entire category of products called Rx?  Daily HaiRx Xtreme Repair Spray, Rx Deep Hydrating Hair and Scalp Treatment, Rx Intense Hydrating Treatment, Rx RepairHair Leave-In Heat Styling Treatment, Rx Clarify Shampoo Treatment, Rx Exfoliate Shampoo Treatment and Rx Detox Shampoo Treatment. 

But why Rx?  Philip specifically formulated these revolutionary, tech smart products to help stylists and guests tackle niche’ hair and scalp problems such as dandruff, breakage, loss of moisture, excess oil, DHT removal, chlorine or mineral removal and damaged hair.  Each formula is made with the very best ingredients and technology while being color safe, strengthening, hydrating, shine creating and so much more. 

They are also non-texture-specific, meaning they can be used universally on any guest suffering from any of these problems no matter their hair texture.  This makes them easy to prescribe for the stylist too!  We can treat the Rx problem, while separately addressing texture with the rest of their recommended Philip Pelusi products.

But who is the “hair doctor” writing the Rx prescription?  You are!  The stylist should analyze the hair and scalp and make product recommendations to help solve these problems.  We are not talking about diagnosing medical conditions, please leave those to their physician.  But cosmetic or cosmeceutical problems, such as those listed above, can be helped or managed by one or several products in Philip’s Rx collection.

After the stylist analyzes the hair and scalp and has a thorough verbal consultation with the guest, they can select the Philip Pelusi Rx product or products and recommend them to the guest.  Show and tell the guest everything they need to know for successful use of the product at home.  Which product to use, how to apply it, how much to apply, how frequently to use it, how long it should stay on the hair and scalp before being rinsed thoroughly, are all things that need to be part of the stylist’s prescription.  Just think of the Image Profile as your prescription for each guest.

And be sure to follow up on the Rx product they purchased when you see the guest at their next visit too.  How has the product been working for them?  What positive changes have they noticed with their hair and or scalp?  And make sure they are still using the product correctly.  Proper use of each product makes a big difference in the results they will experience!  Just tweak their application plan as needed!

“Incredible Ingredient: The Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex”

Philip Pelusi is the mix master of the best hair care products in the world.  One of the tricks to his amazing trade as a Product Artist is his use of Micro Emulsion Technology to not only perfect his ingredients, but to create incredibly unique proprietary blends that make his products one of a kind. 

One of these blends is his Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex which includes 2 revolutionary ingredients: USDA Certified Organic Baobab Seed Oil and USDA Certified Organic Baobab Protein.  Together they are a hair conditioning powerhouse!  You will find the Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex in so many Pelusi products from Tela Frizz Buster, to P2 Clenz Crème, to P2 Polish and more. 

Philip insists on using an organic Baobab (pronounced Ba-oh-bab) Seed.  USDA Certified Organic, means it is planted, grown, harvested, stored and manufactured under the strict, and expensive, regulations of the United States Department of Agriculture.  But nothing less than this will do for Philip.  100% commitment to quality at all cost is his product ethos.

These seeds are hand-picked from sustainably sourced, small community farms where the Baobab Tree grows most often in Africa and Brazil.  The Baobab Tree, also known as the upside-down tree or “Tree of Life” most often found in Madagascar and throughout the continent of Africa, is duly named because of its many uses from bark being woven into rope, its fruits and leaves being eaten as salad, as medicine to alleviate digestive issues and even the hull of a dead Baobab Tree being used as shelter.  The sustainably harvested Baobab fruits has also helped support the livelihood of local communities where these trees grow.

Philip chooses only the very finest version of USDA Certified Organic Baobab Seed Oil, meaning it is cold-pressed.  This means it retains its nutritional value during processing, when the seeds are pressed and the oil is extracted from them, and that is not always the case with most oils.  Baobab Seed Oil is rich with Vitamin D3 and Fatty Acids Palmitic, Linoleic, Oleic, Alpha Linolenic and Stearic Acids which help deeply nourish and moisturize hair and scalp without weighing down hair’s volume.  And Baobab Seed Oil also helps reduce frizz and creates shine. 

Baobab Seed Protein helps build substantive, meaning long lasting, tensile strength and therefore volume and better style longevity.  Baobab Seed Protein helps create thicker feeling, stronger, more voluminous hair with great manageability and style memory that also has been proven to help resist both UV and thermal damage.

“Incredible Ingredient: Sachi Inchi”

Sachi Inchi and Plukenetia Volubilis; sounds like tongue twister, right?!  These two names are a one in the same incredible ingredient sourced by Philip Pelusi himself for his Tela Beauty Organics product, Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum.

Philip choose USDA Certified Organic Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil (pronounced pluck-an-ay-sha vol-u-bill-is and well known as Sachi Inchi, pronounced saw-cha in-chee) for its strength, moisture, smoothness and shine.  USDA, standing for United States Department of Agriculture.  Organic, meaning this ingredient meets the strict standards of organic growing, harvesting and manufacturing of the USDA.

Philip choose the very best quality, meaning cold-pressed, Sachi Inchi Oil expressed from Plukenetia Volubilis Seeds which are native to tropical South America.  Cold pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing.  This is true of any cold pressed oil even oils we cook with such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  Just check the label to see if it’s a cold pressed version.

The Sachi Inchi seeds and oil high are rich in protein and fatty acids Omega 3, 6 and 9 to strengthen, hydrate and help with heat protection.  This incredible ingredient also is rich in hair protective antioxidants Vitamins A and E to help protect from environmental pollutants while helping slow the oxidative process that fades hair color.

Through the high-tech process Philip uses called Micro Emulsion Technology, to prefect the molecular size of his ingredients, Sachi Inchi is a quick penetrating emollient that hydrates hair and helps smooths during styling and creates lots of lustrous shine and manageability.  And all of this with zero build-up!  Every ingredient, including oils, Philip chooses are cleansed away with the next shampoo while never stripping or drying the hair or scalp.

“Not All Silicones are Alike!  Do You Know the Difference?”

There is an exciting upgrade being made to Philip’s products; we are well on our way to becoming silicone free!  In the world of ingredients, the marketing buzz on silicones has started to go down the same road that sulfates did.  And as always, Philip is way ahead of the curve.  He has removed silicones and upgraded most formulas with the Hydro-Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex, Patent Pending, the Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex containing USDA Certified Organic Baobab Oil, or other cold-pressed hydrating oils such as Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Quinoa Seed Oil, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil (known as Sachi Inchi); all USDA Certified Organic.  These revolutionary blends make these formulas supersede anything in performance on the hair.

But not all silicones are considered bad for the hair and in some cases are the best choice for the formula.  Let’s explain.  As always, the quality of the ingredient makes the big difference here.  This is the case with both P2 Polish and P2 BrilliantHair, in that they contain a small amount of a top-quality silicone because it helps provide the best results on the hair.  As an example, in these formulas, only the very best quality highly-modified silicones are used.  They bind moisture, provide heat protection, help detangle and protect color.  Highly-modified silicones can actually help deliver ingredients deeply and rapidly inside the hair, especially when augmented by heat and therefore provide many benefits including smoother, silkier, better conditioned hair.

These top-quality silicones Philip chooses are Hydrophilic, meaning water-loving.  They are extremely expensive but well worth it because they are water/shampoo soluble and can never build up on the hair.  Philip never uses Hydrophobic, meaning water-hating, silicones that actually prevent moisture from entering the hair, create build-up, and keep other things from entering the hair such as color, perms and treatments.  Hydrophobic silicones also leave the hair feeling like it has a gummy coating, and this is what give most silicones a bad rap for the hair.  Rest assured this is never the case with any product from Philip Pelusi!

“Helping with Hair Loss for Today’s Ageless Woman”

Women today want to look vibrant and healthy at any age and hair loss just doesn’t work in that equation.  Age-related hair loss, or any hair loss, can be very scary leaving today’s busy woman wondering what is causing it and mostly how to make it stop.  As stylists we need to be informed and help our guests but without taking on the role as doctors.  Let’s break it down…

The follicle effect:  Hair loss often creeps up on someone slowly over time until it becomes starkly noticeable.  There are 3 stages of hair growth within the hair follicle; Anagen (growing) Stage in which the hair is actively growing out of the follicle, Catagen (intermediate) Stage where the hair is still growing but not as actively, and Telogen (resting or shedding) Stage where the hair has stopped growing and is residing in the follicle until it naturally sheds or is easily pulled away during any type of hair manipulation such as brushing.

This is a very normal process where hair grows, dies off and is then replaced by new hair growth.  However, when someone has an age-related hair loss issue this process can be sped up and often no new growth takes the old hair’s place.  The follicle can also start to shrink with age, making hair grow out thinner and thinner until the follicle no longer produces hair.  And if the follicle is left dormant too long, it becomes harder to sometimes impossible to stimulate new growth therefore making it critical to treat hair loss in its early stages.

Causing factors:  There are many factors that can be the cause of age-related hair loss and these do require the input, possible testing and prescriptions from a doctor.  Heredity and general health both play a role in contributing to hair loss, both of which should be discussed with someone’s general practitioner.  Nothing can be stop genetic factors, but someone might have a treatable hair loss related condition that could be contributing to this.  Changes in hormone levels, such as caused by menopause, also greatly affect the loss of hair.  Testing can sometimes show a hormonal imbalance, but this is something that should be discussed with a gynecologist.  This possibly can be resolved via hormone replacement but again this should only be recommended and approved by a doctor.

Nutrition can also play a big role with hair loss or growth.  Poor nutrition, lack of protein or the proper nutrients can all be contributing factors that should be explored with a doctor or a certified nutritionist.  Vitamin supplements can also possibly help improve hair growth.  These are generally not certified by the FDA but can sometimes prove to help in the overall health and strength of the hair as well as stimulating hair growth or helping to eliminate what many sources are writing about today, stress induced inflammation in the body that contributes to an increase in cortisol (stress hormone) levels that could result in hair loss.  This is a “hit or miss” possible source of help but again should be discussed with a doctor.

Light Therapy is also now a booming business and often a source of help for hair loss.  Products such as hair helmets and hair headbands offer follicle stimulation via various types of exposure to light produced by these electronic apparatuses.  Generally, they are to be placed on the head several times a week to have the light help stimulate growing follicles.  These machines can be investigated via one’s dermatologist.

Topical medicinal products can also be a source of possible help.  Over the counter Rogaine (5% Minoxidil) as well as a prescription strength 15% Minoxidil can be recommended and possibly prescribed by a dermatologist.  Please note that everything we have discussed so far are good things to be aware of, but all need to be referred to a physician and NEVER recommended by a stylist.

What we can do:  The products someone chooses to use on their scalp/hair makes a big difference to the health of the scalp and the strength of the hair.  And although nothing has been proven to regrow hair except Minoxidil, keeping the scalp in the healthy state, clean, free from debris and buildup plus strengthening new-growth hair can have a big impact to the volume and look of the hair.

Zero Buildup:  Every Philip Pelusi product is water and shampoo soluble while most products on the market are not.  Philip chooses only the very best grade of ingredients when he creates his shampoos, conditioners and styling products, never any lesser grade ingredients such as cheap polymers, resins or silicones.  The scalp can breathe and is left clean after every shampoo.

Specific P2 Shampoos:  Next, we can recommend 4 shampoo products from Philip Pelusi to help create a clean and healthier scalp.  P2 Clarify (to remove product buildup), P2 Exfoliate (to remove dead skin cell build up a.k.a. dandruff plus product buildup), P2 Roots for Men (which operates almost exactly as P2 Exfoliate with added scalp enhancing ingredients), and P2 DeTox (which removes dirt, oil, product buildup plus the follicle poisoning toxin called DHT; officially known as Dihydrotestosterone (pronounced dye-high-dro-testosterone).

DHT is a toxic bi-product from scalp-produced testosterone that is thought to be the primary cause of thinning hair.  DHT is toxic to the hair follicle and has been shown to reduce the size of follicles resulting in finer, thinner, weaker hair strands.  All of these P2 shampoos are color safe and leave the hair shiny, healthy and full of body.  But remember, if a guest is still using a buildup causing conditioner or styling product from a different product line, these shampoos will have little effect.

Tela Life Force:  We can also recommend the Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Life Force Collection, in its entirety or on a select basis along with any P2 or Tela product system.  Tela Life Force works on the principle that we need a healthy balance of good bacteria (microflora) to create a healthy scalp environment.  Without it, the scalp cannot function at its optimal level of performance and prematurely ages the scalp.  Tela Life Force contains probiotics to help the scalp rebalance its microflora helping it to flourish, helping provide a healthy scalp environment for hair growth.

Strengthen weak hair:  And last, the very best product that can be used on the hair for strength is a daily application of P2 DailyHaiRx Xtreme Liquid Hair Repair Treatment after every shampoo topped with any Philip Pelusi P2 or Tela Conditioner.  Whether the hair is weak from aging or if the hair is a new sprout of grow, that strand of hair desperately needs support.  P2 Xtreme fills that weak hair strand with Gluten Free Wheat, Corn and Soy Proteins to help it withstand heat, mechanical and chemical damage, helping it resist breakage helping to keep it on the head longer as it grows.

Cosmetic illusions:  We can help our guests with the proper length and style of hair to best camouflage hair loss such as bangs to help disguise frontline hair loss, changing their part side, or giving them a somewhat shorter (collarbone, chin or ear length) layered style for added lift and volume to overall thinning hair.  Also recommending mid-level hair color tones with dimensional highlights can create the illusion of thicker hair.  Proper styling products, plus volumizing styling techniques will arm this guest with the best styling process to get the best look.  Also, be sure to alert your Philip Pelusi supervisor for any broken skin or rashes present on the scalp before doing any hair service in the salon.  This is best for guest’s protection so reach out for guidance if needed.

No single solution:  Unfortunately, there is no single solution to hair loss and every person’s anatomy will respond differently to every treatment and combination of treatment.  A big part of finding what works is really a lot of trial and error by each individual but we can be a big support in the overall process.
