Q & A with Bella Stylist & Redken Certified Haircolorist Demetrios, Part I

Q:  What are your hair/haircolor “dos” and "don'ts"?

A:  I don’t feel as if anyone needs to shampoo their hair daily, regardless of texture.  When you do, be sure to use a professional shampoo formulated for color-treated hair.  Also, limit your use of hot tools and never use box color.

Q.  What hair trends are currently most popular?

A:  The trends I currently see most are shadowed roots and keeping the hair as natural as possible.

Q:  What hair trend would you like to see go away?

A:  Over-processed and over-lightened hair

Pureology Precious Oil is just what the doctor ordered for dry, coarse or frizzy hair textures.  This paraben and silicone-free product contains sunflower, coconut, olive and jojoba oils that tame and hydrate even the driest of hair.  It also contains an anti-fade complex that equalizes porosity, restores manageability, replenishes the protective lipid layer and enhances color vibrancy.
