Weekly Featured Product: Phyto Fiber Paste

Bella Bethesda expert who recommends this great product: Indira

Ever heard the saying “you can’t have your cake and eat it too?” Well, we disagree. Especially when using Phyto Fiber Paste.

From the experts at Phyto, this styling product is formulated with Acacia Collagen to work as a pliable pomade to shape hair into incredible styles. However, it also works as a gel to provide strong hold and structure.

Combine those features and what you get is a hair paste with the best of both worlds that keeps your look in place all day long without build up.

Phyto Fiber Paste works on all hair types and textures, but is particularly great for thick, short hair. Emulsify a dime sized amount between your fingers and distribute throughout hair until ideal style is achieved. Be careful as to not use too much product in one spot.

Love Phyto products? Join Bella Bethesda next Tuesday, August 2 as we kick off our 4th annual Curly Hair Month. A Phyto representative will be in the salon for styling and product recommendations. Plus, with every purchase of two Phyto products you will enjoy a free curl cream all month long. But that’s not it! With a purchase of any curl product, you will also receive a free diffuser!

Whether you're a "Little Surfer Girl" or just like to have "Fun, Fun, Fun" in the sun, Redken Color Extend Sun Solar Screen has your locks covered all "Endless Summer" long. Designed to protect hair from UV rays, this leave-in spray has an SPF 12 to keep color from fading and protect your scalp from burning.

Solar Screen is great on all hair types, but ideal if your tresses are colored since it prevents damage to the hair cuticle, which causes color to diminish. It's formulated with Soplexyl for UV protection, mango oil to replenish moisture and vibrancy, and creamide to repair and resurface strands. Not only does this product protect your hair from UVA and UVB rays, it also replenishes sun-stressed hair. To use, simply spray throughout wet or dry hair before stepping out into the sun.

If you love this product, you'll love the Color Extend After-Sun Shampoo, and through the end of August stock up on your favorite Redken shampoo and conditioner at Bella Bethesda.
