How To Get Surf Hair 0
Get Braiding
Firstly take a shower and wet your hair the night before, using cooler water gives better results as this reduces the amount of frizz. Towel dry your hair and evenly divide it into two sections. Braid each section and sleep with the braids in place. In the morning take the braids out to reveal your stylish new surf hair.

Sulphate Free Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner 0
A new Keratin shampoo and conditioner created with no sulphates or parabens
The NFUZION range of professional salon hair care now has a new addition to the family, the sulphate and paraben free Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner.
Salon Solutions started working on these two new home hair care products almost 18 months ago, testing, tweaking, and perfecting the ingredients, fragrances, viscosity, and more while monitoring the feedback from the many customers that participated in the trial. In this time many changes where made until at last, finally all of the feedback was unanimous and the new product was classified as perfect.
Liz Karbowiak, co founder of salon solutions tells us “ from our research and customer feedback, our aim was to create an affordable shampoo and conditioner that would protect and enhance Keratin and chemically straightened hair, hair extensions, colour treated hair, and sensitive scalps”
Five key elements for healthy hair:
1- The removal of all nasty synthetic chemicals such as sulphates and parabens to make the new shampoo & conditioner sulphate and parabane free. Sodium lauryl sulphate (sls) & sodium laureth sulphate (sles) are "sulphates" that can cause allergic reactions’ and are well known irritants. These nasty chemicals in some people can temporarily aggravate the skin, causing redness, dryness and itching, while using shampoo's with sulphates is not recommended for people that have had keratin smoothing treatments either, as they strip away the actual keratin reversing the treatment effecting it's lasting qualities. We are proud to tell you that the Essential Keratin shampoo & conditioner is sulphate and paraben free.
2- Adding keratin to both the shampoo and conditioner as a way to strengthen and assist in the repairing of damaged hair. All hair can become run down and damaged over time from the use of various chemicals, colours, straightening, bleaching, and other salons services. Even hair only exposed to the climate, combined with home heat styling is easily damaged through protein and moisture loss needing some extra external help. Keratin is the key structural component of hair and what becomes damaged or fragmented. This is why it has been added back to the Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner as an enhancer, and to also help and assist the rebuilding of damaged hair.
- 3- To block out UV light exposure and minimise colour fade and damage. UV light from the sun is all around and can cause some serious damage to hair and skin. Exposure to UV rays will result in direct hair colour fade and damaged hair. Unfortunately when hair gets sun burnt there is no associated pain or discomfort meaning that by the time you realise you have a problem the damage has well and truly been done. Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner contains a powerful UV sunscreen to protect coloured hair from fading.
4- Add ingredients that will moisturise, nourish, and seal the hair shaft. Jojoba and Macadamia Oil have been added to the shampoo and conditioner that injects moisture to the hair shaft without leaving any heavy residue. Jojoba & Macadamia oil provide an amazing shine and lustre on all hair types, even artificial or human hair extensions that need extra help to stay moisturised to look energised and healthy. Panthenol was also added to the Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner to direct moisture into the hair, thicken the fibre, and to maintain the moisture balance of both hair and scalp.
5- To make the new salon quality Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner affordable for everybody. The 375mls bottles are very generous in size, providing great value for such a sophisticated shampoo & conditioner. As a matter of fact, the entire NFUZION range of hair care is built around the same philosophy of delivering exceptional salon quality hair care products at prices that people can afford.
Hair Care Tips using the Essential Keratin Shampoo & Conditioner:
How Often Is It Used: Daily or as desired.
Hair Types: Chemically treated, extensions, colour treated hair, and sensitive scalps
Hair Textures: Suitable for all hair types.
Special Introductory price: buy both shampoo and conditioner and Save an extra $5.00
Conclusion: We highly recommend the new Essential Keratin shampoo and conditioner for anybody that is serious about wanting a healthy head of hair and scalp.
Salon Hair Supplies Are Better For Your Hair 0
Hairdressers, wholesalers, & hair care manufactures get asked this question each and every day by their clients and consumers showing us that there is still plenty of confusion around this topic.
Over the last 30 years, many experts have spent plenty of time researching and writing about the salon home hair care supplies versus grocery store brands with similar outcome and results.
That purchasing salon quality hair supplies is better for your hair and scalp than cheaper non salon alternatives.
So why is this the case you may well ask?
Professional haircare companies are the creators of salon quality hair supplies, and spend plenty of time and money perfecting their shampoos, treatments, styling products, electrical equipment, brushes and anything else that the consumer takes home from a salon. It's in their interest to make sure that their products are the very best available for a number of reasons. Here are some of these reasons why professional salon supplies stack up best.
- To protect the integrity of their clients hair & scalp: A good example here is electrical haircare manufactures such as Parlux, or Silver Bulett that are always aware of the need for thermal repair from heat styling, investing in temperature regulators, ceramic blades, and other new technologies to protect the hair and scalp. This model is critical for their products success and very survival. Another example is where haircare companies such as Edgy Haircare create water soluble styling products that leave no build up on the hair shaft to leave hair dull, flat, or to interfere with hair colour use.
- To protect the integrity of their other products within their brand: Most professional hair care companies also supply hair & beauty salons with products such as hair colour, bleach, and other chemically altering services and therefore make a significant investment in the product development that protects hair against UV light, and colour fade preservation.
- To offer their consumers more value for money: Salon quality brands such as the NFuzion range of haircare have very concentrated formulas and consistencies, so although they cost more upfront, they are more cost effective. Another example where paying more upfront equals more value and better haircare is when purchasing professional hair brushes such as Denman Jack Dean with natural bristles. The brush will last much longer than cheaper brushes, but will also be better as it will not fray or tear the hair and scalp.
- To have superior products than any of their competitors: This makes product companies work even harder, to get your business and then to keep it. Some of the ways they do this includes coming up with new formulations, that have no harmful chemicals and ingredients such as parabens, and sulphates, or by even becoming organic.
From my own experience as a hair stylist touching and looking at hair all day long, the difference was remarkable when my clients switched to salon quality brands against supermarket brands. Their hair looked radiant, colours faded less, scalp conditions went away, and far less damage was seen on their hair when they used professional electrical appliances such as blow dryers, and ceramic straighteners.
It takes more investment to develop superior products to a niche market place, and hence why salon quality products are more expensive to purchase.
The reality is that you ultimately do get what you pay for. Quality and high performance products come at a price, but here's the funny thing, that in the log term you end up saving money anyway.
And last of all, and more IMPORTANTLY that your hair, scalp, hair colour, and hairstyle will look and feel much better.
Salon Solutions stocks salon quality hair care including shampoos, conditioners, treatments, styling products, hair appliances, electrical equipment, accessories, and even pet grooming care, from many major professional brands, and all at affordable prices.

Hair Styling Products Online Review 0
Hair Styling Products Online Review
Over the last 30 years as a hairstylist, I have personally used and tested many hair care and styling products on my clients, family, and friends hair.
While it’s good to try new products and fragrances, particularly when you get them for free from the retailer in the hope that you write them positive reviews, it definitely goes without saying that not all hair products are made EQUAL.
Many of the styling products I have tried have been complete and utter failures, that didn’t do what they where designed to do at all and in some cases left the hair and hairstyle worse for wear.
How to find the most suited styling product:
So as a “stylish hopeful” where does one start to look or whom should you listen to and TRUST?
Your hairdresser is naturally the first person to ask for advice, but be careful here because in many cases they may be promoting only one or a few select ranges that they have available with biased and invested interests.
Asking friends can be helpful, but be weary because what works for them and their hair type may not work for you.
You should try searching online as this is a good place to begin. Use the web to research, read reviews, compare products, and prices and all from the comfort of your armchair. The more informed that you are, the better chance you will have of finding the best possible styling product for your hair type, and hairstyle requirements.
What to look for in a styling product:
Remember that a styling product’s predominate function is to help you recreate your hairstyle, make your job easier, and make it hold and LAST. The list below shows many detailed examples of what different hair styling products have been designed to do.
- To hold your hairstyle in place over time.
- To help create volume and body.
- To add texture and defined shape.
- To add shine and gloss.
- To enhance or define natural curls & waves.
- To help smooth out frizz or unruly hair.
- To guard and protect hair from heat, styling, and the outdoor elements.
- To add moisture and seal the cuticle.
- Wash out in water (water soluble) the good ones.
So look at your current hairstyle and styling needs first, and then choose the best styling product to suit these attributes.
After using several products, there where two haircare styling products that passed the test with flying colours from the EDGY range of styling products. Both products did exactly what they claim to do, help support and hold the hairstyles, while washing out completely (water soluble).
1: Edgy Smoothe n Grume
This 3 in 1 leave in conditioner and styling cream has a pleasant fresh fruit aroma and is perfect for dry or wrecked hair. You only need to apply a small amount (roughly the size of a dollar coin) on damp hair, to the mid lengths and ends before blow-drying and styling. You will immediately notice how your hair becomes detangled and more durable, easier to comb and brush. The product has a UV protector built into it that will shield your hair protecting it during styling and then afterwards when you venture outdoors.
What completely sold me was how my blow-drying time was actually more than halved. So not only did all my client’s hair look and feel amazing, but it actually saved me valuable styling time while it helped hold their hairdo’s all day too.
PRICE: I rate this as very affordable, only $18.95 for a professional salon quality product 200 mls in size.
Where to buy it:
Edgy Smoothe n Grume is available from most leading hair salons or right here
2: Edgy Fiberfi Matt Paste
Is a water-soluble and pliable paste with a strong hold factor used mainly on shorter haircuts that require ragged texture. This product works really well on straight to wavy hair types on both men and women. What I particularly liked about the paste was how it also helped to add volume and body to fine hair types without the sticky effect, and how it completely washes out and does not build up in the hair.
Fiberfi will allow you to place and shape your hair in any way you like and won’t “lock you out” like some other strong hold pastes on the market, meaning that you have time to manipulate the style before it sets.
PRICE: Exceptional price and great value, only $18.95 for 100 grams that should last many months.
Where to buy it:
Edgy Fiberfi Matt Paste is available from most leading hair salons or here
So once you work out which product is for you, give it a go. I am sure that you will be very impressed as I was.
