P2 by Philip Pelusi Polish Revolutionary Reformulation!

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek, Uncategorized

P2 by Philip Pelusi Polish is now both Silicone Free and Vegan!  P2 Polish contains Tomato Fruit Extract loaded with fortifying vitamins and minerals including Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Vitamin B6, B12 and Folate (a form of Vitamin B9).  Tomato Fruit Extract is also rich in antioxidants Vitamins A, C and E that help protect hair strength and chemically and color treated hair.

Organic Baobab Seed Oil hydrates, creates lustrous shine and provides heat protection and frizz reduction.  Philip chooses the gold standard cold-pressed Organic Baobab Seed Oil meaning it retains its nutritional value during processing.  It is rich with Vitamin D3 and 5 Fatty Acids that nourish and moisturize hair and scalp without weighing down hair.

The Hydro Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex joins the ingredient listing giving P2 Polish next-level color protection.  This is a universal-texture complex of plant derived ceramides mimics the ceramides (known as lipids) found in between cuticle layers.  It helps seal each cuticle layer to each other and to the cortex helping seal in color molecules below.  This proprietary mixture strengthens, hydrates, helps protect color and creates shine.

Jojoba Oil joins the P2 Polish ingredient lineup, derived from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, a shrub native to AZ, CA, and northern Mexico.  It possesses excellent healing and hydrating properties as well as providing heat protection, shine and detangling.

Squalane has also been added to the formula as a key source of antioxidants beneficial to hair color preservation.  Extracted from various plants, vegetables, and grains, Squalane also provides moisture and increased shine.

Chic Geek ~ Hair Structure Refresher!

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

What is the cuticle layer of the hair?  The outer cuticle is the “armor” of the hair laying like shingles on a roof protecting the inner workings of the cortex.  The cuticle is made of protein!  Larger hair strands such as resistant 100% grey or thick or coarse hair contain more cuticle layers while finer strands contain less.

When the cuticle is healthy and smooth it reflects light and appears shiny, hair styles and performs better.  When the cuticle is damaged hair looks dull, dry, tangles easily and won’t hold a style or color as well.

Can You Ever Use Too Much P2 Xtreme?

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

Can you ever use too much P2 Xtreme?  Nope!  It’s scientifically impossible!  The hair is like a sponge and can only hold so much of anything applied to it.  Applying too much P2 Xtreme simply wastes the product.  What is needed gets absorbed into the hair fiber and the rest is rinsed away. 

Remember application technique is important, cleanse hair, rinse thoroughly, squeeze dripping water, mist on 6 -12 mists of P2 Xtreme Daily Treatment Liquid Repair Spray, apply an instant or deep conditioner, leave on 3 or more then rinse thoroughly!  Start strengthening your hair today with P2 Xtreme!

Fabric Care Tags

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

The Chic Geek by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Have you ever read the fabric care tag inside one of your pieces of clothing?  If you have, then you know there are lots of details from the designer or manufacturer about how they want you to care for it.  Dry clean only, cold water, dry flat, cool dryer and so on.

But do humans have these care tags for their hair?!  LOL of course not!  But we really should!  As stylists we have seen it all from dry, broken, over processed hair to texture that needs a little or a lot of help.  So, guests often are not taking care of their hair fabric in the proper way.

That’s where we come in as stylists!  Philip often says “Hair is the most important fabric we wear.  We wear our hair every day!”  So, we see hair fabric as needing and deserving the very best and most detailed care tag.  This comes in the form of our professional consultation and product education, both verbal and written on either the P2 or Tela Concierge Brochures to give to each guest.  How else will they know how to take care of the most important fabric in their wardrobe, their hair!

Philip Pelusi The IPhone of Haircare

Posted on Posted in Chic Geek

The Chic Geek by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

If you are looking at these images of outdated cell phones from decades gone past, you are probably wondering what does this have to do with haircare?  Well, a lot actually!  Most products on the market are still selling the same formulas they created decades ago with perhaps a new fragrance or new ingredient or new model or actress as the spokesperson.  But their formulas are as old and outdated as these crazy looking cell phones, some the size of a shoebox LOL!

Would you purchase one of these today?  The answer of course is NO!  So why should a guest purchase outdated haircare technology?  That is exactly what they are doing when they purchase other products on the marketplace.  Instead, this latest model IPhone would be the tech equivalent to Philip Pelusi products. 

The most cutting-edge, revolutionary technology and ingredients that all help create the very best hair fabric possible for the guest.  The best condition, color protection, styling performance, texture, feel and more!  And the better the hair fabric, the better your work looks, and the happier the guest will be with their hair and YOU!

Summer Support ~ P2 Potion and P2 Clarifying!

The Chic Geek by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

The warmth of the sun and a dip in the pool or ocean feel relaxing and give a sense of rejuvenation.  However, sun, chlorine, and salt water can be the cause of damaging effects to the hair and scalp.  They can erode hair’s strength causing color loss and dry brittle hair plus UV damage to the scalp.  For help, simply look to the Philip Pelusi June 2022 product promos for P2 Potion and P2 Clarifying!

Want to chat these up with your guests?  Here are a few pointers to help…
