The Philip Pelusi Chic Geek by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
A clean scalp is essential to maintain a healthy scalp environment and proper exfoliation plays a key role. So, in addition to the USDA Sugar Cane Granules (written about in the Chic Geek Lift Off Part I) in the Tela Beauty Organics Probiotic Scalp Scrub, Philip has another totally unique way to exfoliate the scalp.

Don’t flake out! Salicylic Acid is one of the revolutionary ingredients in Philip’s P2 Roots Shampoo. Just like this fruit acid works in antiaging skin care products on the face, Philip put this to work in this scalp rejuvenating shampoo treatment. Salicylic Acid gently lifts dead skin cells off the surface of the scalp.
P2 by Philip Pelusi Roots Shampoo also contains Zinc Pyrithione. This is a sloughing agent that naturally exfoliates and removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. Plus, it has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties helpful when combating dandruff. It is a long-standing ingredient used in dandruff shampoos for decades and enhances the abilities of this shampoo treatment. It is totally unique to have both Zinc Pyrithione and Salicylic Acid in the same shampoo.
This dynamic duo for skin exfoliation is key to those who suffer from dandruff, where the body exfoliates as a much slower rate than normal, seasonal dandruff common in winter and in an aging scalp where the body’s natural exfoliation rate slows over time.
The more flakes and buildup, the more frequently you can use the P2 Roots Shampoo and the longer you leave it on the scalp, the deeper the results. Meaning the product has more time to work. This can be done as part of a Philip Pelusi Spa Hair Therapy Treatment in the salon and in the shower at home by simply leaving the shampoo on the scalp longer before doing a gentle scrubbing motion and rinsing it off.

Two beautiful models, gorgeous gowns, intricately styled hair, and bold beguiling makeup. Film noir Hollywood glam from the 30’s and 50’s meets the 1990’s, in this amazing visual presentation by Philip and The Philip Pelusi Talent Group, led by Jeffrey R and Sam C at the time.
Philip and his team were showcasing the art of hair crafting and design as part of a Philip Pelusi road show presentation for the introduction of our P2 Product line in New York City and Philadelphia.
Philip shares,“Interestingly I was inspired for this collection after waking up at 2:00 in the morning and watching classic movies and the master still photographers of classic movies.”

Twisted or knotted updos, looped or woven braids, and always incorporating some type of ribbon or other hair bling, Fairy Tale Hair is another projected trend for 2024. These ballet- inspired ethereal looks have an element of fantasy where creativity has no bounds, the sky is the limit. Think upscale Whoville.
These looks were created by Philip Pelusi Director of Talent Acquisition Lisa K (who did the makeup too!) and Creative Director Jeffrey. Photo and lighting by Philip Pelusi.
For a polished, sophisticated version, we recommending seeking out a professional hair crafting service such as with one of our expert Designers at Philip Pelusi. But more simplistic Fairy Tale Hair looks can easily be achieved at home with a little creative initiative and the right products. To create these looks, our go-to products are two Tela Beauty Organics grooms that also contain the powerhouse antioxidant Reishi Mushroom.
The Reishi Mushroom, also known as The Mushroom of Immortality, is an Adaptogenic Mushroom known as the most famous of all Asian medicinal mushrooms touted for its unprecedented therapeutic and topical benefits including immune strengthening, mental health support, improved sleep, and even an agent against cancer, just to name a few.

As an adaptogen, it combines with other actives, using its moisturizing and antioxidant properties to reduce stress, both internally and from environmental factors such as pollution and sunlight. Reishi Mushroom has world-renowned anti-oxidative benefits and is marketed today in the form of teas, tinctures, and supplements as well as being beneficial in topical products.
Through our research and development, we at Philip Pelusi saw the unmatched benefits this hero ingredient brings in terms of what it would do for the health appearance of the hair and scalp. So, we harnessed the Reishi Mushroom’s incredible antioxidant powers to help take hair color protection to an unparalleled level as well as protecting the scalp. And we threaded this immortal mushroom throughout the entire Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi product collection to glean its benefits with every product application.
Our Tela Modern Hair Wear Collection provides a modern feel and approach to styling and wearing hair, almost melting into hair creating a new textile, or as we call it hair fabric. Tela Play Freeform Wax is a thick crème formula that controls like a wax yet is totally moveable. Tela Taffy Pomade Gel isa medium density pomade-like formula with light moveable hold. Both can be applied to wet or dry hair for any type of braiding, sculpting, freeform piecing, grooming and finger styling. And all with zero buildup.
Plus, it contains the proprietary Tela Tea Blend of White, Green and Oolong Tea and the Tela USDA Certified 35 Organic Ingredient Base Blend whose star ingredient is Reishi Mushroom. So, with every application of these styling products, both the hair and scalp benefit as stated.
Lastly, all Tela Modern Hair Wearalso contains our Tela Hair Immunity Complex of Probiotics and Fermented Kelp Extract to help improve scalp and hair condition. Organic Quinoa and the Hydro Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex help strengthen, create shine, increase body, and help preserve color. Plus, Peppermint, Milk Thistle, Honey, Aloe, and Lavender add hydration and weightless heat protection.
