Handle with Care: A Guide to 365 Days of Great Hair - Dry or Oily



Washing

Oilier textures can feel grateful for their built-in defenses from winter dryness.  Even so, each shampoo should stretch a little further for both oily and dry hair.  Try Redken Clear Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner as your regular moisture duo.  This pair is great for all hair types as it is color safe and will not weigh hair down.

At Home

A leave-in treatment is essential for all hair types this time of year.  Apply Pureology Colour Fanatic Hair Treatment Spray to damp hair prior to styling.  This multi-tasking product leaves hair healthy and static-free.  On in-between days, try Pureology Dry Shampoo and Condition to absorb excess oil at the scalp and add shine and moisture to ends.  

In Salon

A Pureology Hydrate Hydra Whip treatment delivers what all hair types need most this time of year – moisture.  Not only is this treatment affordable and time effective, but it also adds shine and improves movement and manageability.

Handle with Care: A Guide to 365 Days of Great Hair - Thin or Thick



Washing

All hair types – whether thick or thin, fine or coarse – will benefit from boosting the moisture content in their daily shampoo and conditioner.  Thicker densities try Phytospecific Rich Hydration Shampoo and Phytobaume Repair.  Thinner densities try Phytoapaisant and Phytobaume Hydration.

At Home

Hats may keep you toasty warm, but can make any hair texture fall victim to static and flatness. To calm static and add shine to dull winter hair, add Pureology Cuticle Polisher after styling. To add oomph to limp roots, try Redken Quick Tease

In Salon

To purify and balance a dry, itchy scalp, ask for a Phytopolleine treatment.  The botanical blend will restore healthy scalp conditions.  To replenish moisture on the scalp or ends, try a Phyto Huile d’Ales treatment.  This will restore softness, suppleness and shine to dehydrated strands.

Handle with Care: A Guide to 365 Days of Great Hair - Curly or Straight



Washing

While lower dew points take humidity off the table, curly girls must still remember to hydrate.  Supplement your regular hydrating shampoo once a week with Phytonectar, a treatment shampoo that gently cleanses, nourishes and revives thirsty hair.  Phytolisse Mask can be used every time the hair is shampooed to help fight frizz due to dehydration. 

At Home

Apply a smoothing serum like Phytolisse Serum when hair is either damp or dry to control frizz, add shine and create a polished look; this product can be used on both curly and straight textures.  For a soft, long-lasting curly look, try Phyto Curl Energizing Cream.  This product not only defines and separates waves, but also moisturizes and protects hair.  

In Salon

Curly hair is naturally more susceptible to dryness and tends to get especially parched this time of year.  Ask your stylist for a luxury Nigelle treatment to infuse moistures back into hair.  For hair in need of extra nourishment, pair this with the Noiraudepro treatment to strengthen and repair any areas in need of some extra TLC.

Handle with Care: A Guide to 365 Days of Great Hair - Graying and/or Aging

Our winter hair care guide is here!  As some of the coldest and most extreme weather descends upon us, winter's guide highlights how to manage these harsh, dry conditions. Tune in the next four weeks to discover tips on products and treatments to help your hair survive the winter and come out in tip top shape for spring.


Washing

Many of us begin coloring our hair as the grays begin to multiply.  It is especially important to use a hydrating, color-protecting shampoo and conditioner during the months that boast the most extreme temperatures.  Try the new sulfate-free Redken Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner.

At Home

As hair ages, it tends to become more fragile and loses shine.  To improve texture and appearance, try a moisture foundation product like Phytodefrisant.  This product not only lays the groundwork for other styling products, but also smoothes, hydrates and strengthens hair.

In Salon

To further protect your color, try a Redken Chemistry Color Extend Shot at your next appointment.  This can be paired with a Clear Moisture or All Soft Shot to infuse a much-needed dose of moisture.  These treatments are custom blended to specifically fit the needs of your hair condition and texture.
