Why does P2 Xtreme contain a little bit of the finest water, known as Triple Distilled Water?  This formula needs that little bit of water to stay in solution and penetrate the hair most effectively.

This is also why the hair must be damp for this totally unique product to penetrate effectively.  But FYI the hair-effective ingredients in P2 Xtreme account for about 98% of the formula so the formula is “xtremely” concentrated! 

And one last note…Triple Distilled Water is the finest and most expensive water, containing no icons, no chemicals, no minerals.  This makes the formula more precise with great results!

Trend Alert ~ Purple Reign ~ by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2022, Orchid Flower,takes one of the top spots for this season’s hair color trends.  This is a deep edgy hue that Pantone describes as a vibrant rose with purple undertones.  It can vary from cherry chocolate to purple black.  And application techniques range from all-over single application, balayage, or a single bold ribbon highlight peeking out from behind the ear or the nape.

For all color investments, in addition to a full Philip Pelusi product system, we also recommend our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+.  Think of it as a color insurance policy.  Apply to the hair both in the actual color formula for the service but also as part of the guests at home regular conditioning regimen by mixing it into their Philip Pelusi deep or instant conditioner.

Tela Color Lock+ contains a totally unique set of ingredients with its cornerstone our Tela Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex.  This proprietary blend works like no other color protectant on the marketplace.  Healthy, non-chemically or non-color treated hair has a natural shield around it that protects 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 weakened hair cuticle cannot block damaging stressors such as heat, UV light, aging and the environment.  This allows the internal hair structure to be compromised, leaving internal bonds, or links, to be further broken or damaged.  This also means hair looks and performs like compromised or damaged hair.  It loses luster, color molecules, feels rough and dry, and does not style well.

Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex helps restore this shield as it strengthens hair’s internal structure up to three times more than that of untreated hair.  Its small molecular structure is designed to penetrate deeply into the cortex creating new bonds that help strengthen, enhancing shine and performance similar to levels in virgin hair.  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 to buffer the oxidative residues left behind after of the hair color application meaning there is less damage during processing.  And since water is the #1 color fader, Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex also helps protect color treated hair from surfactant or water stripping, significantly reduces leakage of color molecules during and after shampooing.

And to help maintain a potent Orchid Flower hue, we also recommend guests give their hair a weekly or biweekly dose of our P2 by Philip Pelusi Color Boost Conditioners in Cherrymint Bark, Violet Orchid, and/or Chocolate Wildberry to get the perfect toning effect.

They stain the hair then fades away over a several days to a week depending on the porosity of the hair.  Zero-softening, P2 Color Boost is easy to use on any hair texture by adding a nickel size amount to any Philip Pelusi deep and instant conditioner supporting the guest’s hair texture and styling needs.

Trend Alert ~ Sleek Hair ~ by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

While natural texture is still an extremely prominent and important trend, Spring Summer 2022 texture trends welcome the addition of a sleeker look and feel.  Styles range from silky smooth blowouts with the current ‘GenZ approved’ dead straight center part, a` la Naomi Campbell. 

To glossy hair slicked back off the face starting at the front hairline, held firmly in place while maintaining a glassy sheen.  Whether worn down, half up, or swept up into a chic chignon, you will not see nary a messy or textured bun this season.

A Philip Pelusi “Did You Know?” ~ A Product Line for the Decades

Posted on Posted in BuZZworthy, Uncategorized

“It was a huge breakthrough when I realized that I could transform and synthesize a product into what I wanted to see and feel.  So, I continued to create products myself in hope to fulfill my need for high quality and performance.” Philip Pelusi

The Philip Pelusi products we all know and love as stylists today are truly the evolution of an artist.  That is, Philip Pelusi the product artist.  Philip is most definitely an artist of hair and was awarded prestigious “World Master” by Art and Fashion Group International in 1995.

But in 1965 when Philip first started working with hair, he felt limited, not by his own level of creativity but by the products available on the marketplace.  So, the product artist in him was born.  Taking a position of “100% commitment to quality”, says Pelusi, he sourced out the best chemists and ingredient house in the world to create his formulas, setting no limit on budget for research and development. 

And he continues to create new products to this day as well as update and upgrade his second to none Philip Pelusi haircare formulations from over the decades and plans to well into the future.  Take a look at the evolution of just a few of Philip’s one of kind products…

Did You Know? are fun facts and photos about how Philip got started in the industry, his salon journey, the history of his products, with more adventures on the horizon!  See ALL Did You Know? on Did You Know? – Busy Stylist
