Make the Grade ~ College Hair Care – by Nikki B.
Going away to college can be a very exciting time in life but not so much for one’s hair health. Late night study sessions, stress, rough water and believe it or not, too many ponytails can sometimes give your hair a failing grade!
Clean Slate: Many campuses have well water or rough city water with lots of minerals that can build up on the hair making it unruly, tough to detangle, fade color and lack shine. So, keep a bottle of mineral removing shampoo in your shower tote and use it a few times a week to keep this buildup at bay. Try our P2 by Philip Pelusi Clarify Shampoo Treatment.
Although this deep cleansing shampoo was originally formulated to remove chlorine from the hair, it also contains high-tech mineral removing ingredients that gently clarify the hair without stripping color. Tip! Leave shampoo on while in the shower for a deeper penetrating treatment and follow with a P2 Conditioner to enhance your texture.
In a Rush: Too busy to cleanse? Once or twice a week, skip your shampoo and go right to applying our P2 Clenz Crème No Sudsing Cleansing Conditioner. It lightly cleanses with Philip’s exclusive Sugar Cane Cleanse microemulsion and is also specially formulated with Philip’s proprietary Pelusi Bio Polymer Complex containing Organic Baobab Seed Protein and Organic Baobab Seed Oil to help improve hair’s condition and texture.
Late Start: Running late for class can be a common occurrence on campus. And reaching for a hair band to create a quick ponytail style can be a good option but not always. Wearing a ponytail day after day, week after week and sometimes year after year can cause real stress and even follicle damage to the front hairline. This can cause long term hair loss in some cases. Instead, reach for a hair refreshing mist! Try our P2 RefresHair Smart Styling Texture Spray.
Sunflower Extract helps hydrate, calming static while White Tea and Thyme freshen hair’s scent. This incredible multitask spray acts as a lightweight hairspray and heat protector so you can use it to reshape and boost your style. Lightly mist onto dry hair, brush through, fingerstyle, lightly scrunch or throw in a few twists from your flat or curling iron to refresh your look. It’s so lightweight and dries in seconds. Hair stays pliable never stiff or sticky.
Multitask: If late night study sessions are your thing, try this trick to maximize your time. Cleanse in the evening and apply a weightless hair groom that creates the perfect airdry style! Try our P2 Potion Smart Styling Treatment Sun Guard and Groom. This incredibly lightweight groom serves as a leave-in conditioner, detangler, shine creator and color protector in one. Its unique formula glides through the hair, dries featherlight, never greasy or heavy.
Apply then comb or finger through the hair, let airdry or form hair into loose braids then airdry. Take out the braids for a carefree, loose wavy look! P2 Potion can be applied to wet or dry hair plus gives the hair and scalp some UV protection while walking around campus with Philip’s proprietary Pelusi Matrix Blend of plant derived ultraviolet filters.
