Power Drops by Oribe

12/2/2018

Oribe has impressed me yet again. They recently released Power Drops. These are intensely reparative drops with linoleic acid, biotin and sea kelp extract, and can correct damaged hair. Strands are fortified and rebuilt. This serum can be used alone or added to another Oribe product. My favorite way to use this serum is to add it to Balm d'Or.

Balm d'or is a also a light weight styler that provides heat protection to fragile and damaged hair.  With  heat-activated polymer technology, even with styling tools, hair is in great condition after it is used. Using the two products together leaves hair sleek and shiny hair. How well does it really work, you may ask? Well, my hair has been bleached 3 times and it still feels healthy and smooth.

Every so often a styling line breaks the mold and shakes the hair industry. 10 years ago Oribe Canales did just that with the release of his signature line. Taking in over 30 years of experience and countless hours of perfecting his craft, Oribe released a line. Not just a styling line, but one that used premium ingredients that made for exceptional results. I have been lucky enough to have been using the line for over 8 years. I love where the line has come from and I can not wait to see what the future holds for this luxury experience.

To celebrate Oribe's 10th anniversary, I thought I would share with you my top 10 Oribe products.


1/2 Shampoo and Conditioner for Moisture and Control. An essential for curly hair.
3  Swept Up Volume Powder Spray. Use at the roots to create envious volume.
4/5 Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner. This is the go to if you want to repair tired, damaged hair.
6 Signature Shampoo. A favorite for all hair types.
7 Rough Luxury Molding Wax. Many men swear by this wax.
8 Superfine Hair Spray. Tames and styles effortlessly.
9 Run Through Detangling Primer. A leave in that provides heat protection and slip with almost no weight.
10. Dry Texturizing Spray. This has a cult following unseen by any other luxury brand.

Daily Cleansing Shampoo

So many times clients want a shampoo that can be used on a daily basis that doesn't compromise the integrity of the hair. Well, Signature from Oribe is that cleanser.  This shampoo is both color and keratin safe.

Oribe created a daily cleanser that doesn't strip the hair and provides a slip with out creating weight.  Many of my male clients like Signature due to the fact they don't feel like they have to use a conditioner after.  The fragrance is clean without being either masculine or feminine.  I personally have course, thick hair but can use Signature and feel like my hair has been treated even if I don't use a conditioner. 

The shampoo is highly concentrated so the trick is learning how much to use.  I suggest first trying about a nickle size amount. Make sure your hair is soaking wet.  Before applying to your scalp, lather up the product with a 5 count in your hands first. If you feel like you need more shampoo, try adding a little more water first.

Let me know what you think after you've tried it.

Olaplex

1/27/2015

Lately there's been a lot of talk about a new wonder product in the beauty industry. It is called Olaplex. Even though I had seen results from other stylists using it, I had to see for myself. First off let me explain what Olaplex is. This treatment goes inside the hair and restructures broken down disulfide bonds. These bonds are broken by coloring, styling tools and brushing. When these bonds are broken, hair feels weak and lacks a consistent texture. I decided to do an Olaplex treatment on a few different hair types just to see what it would do. I don't think I need to say much more, as the pics show what just ONE treatment can do.  Please note - After the treatments, no styling products were added to the hair.  I lightly used Foundation Mist from Oribe before blowing out the hair.  On the one I left curly, you can see how the hair is less frizzy and the curls are more consistent root to ends.  I am now using Olaplex on a regular basis. I have been thrilled with the results and don't remember the last time a new product made me feel this way. If your hair needs some TLC, this treatment might be what you need. The great thing is that you, the client, can keep up these benefits with a take home version of the product.

Conditioning Tips for Healthier Hair

11/26/2013

More often than not my fine haired clients fear conditioner or deep treatments.  I understand. You want soft hair, but wonder if it is worth potentially not having volume or your hair not holding a curl?  How can you get the benefits of healthy hair without it being too weighed down?

Condition before you wash.  Yes, I just said that.  If you know you are going to wash your hair in the morning, condition the ends the night before.  Certain hair types will benefit from using either a conditioner or a hair oil alone, while others will see drastic improvements from using both.  One of the great benefits of the newer hair oils is that they are internally repairing.  They are no longer just "topical treatments".  Putting oil in your hair the night before a wash gives the oil time to do its job and the hair a chance to absorb what it can.  All you need is a few pumps and it only needs to be applied to the ends of your hair.  Clip your hair up and be sure to wear a shower cap or use an old pillowcase when you are ready to sleep.

When you wash your hair the next morning, wash only the roots; the shampoo will wash off any excess product that the hair could not take in.  This will give you soft, manageable hair without worrying about the extra oils weighing the hair down. Over time, you will find that your hair will be stronger, have more bounce and movement and your hair will look and feel healthier than ever.
We carry a variety of conditioners and oils to aid you in your quest for softer, healthier looking hair.

Directions

For finer hair types I strongly recommend using conditioner plus a couple of drops of oil.
For medium to coarse hair types, I suggest using the oil by itself.

If you are not sure what hair regimen would be best for you, feel free to message me or stop by the salon.  I would love to answer any of your questions.
