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”

“So we got to work and realised that we needed to focus on 5 key areas in order to fulfil our objective. ” 

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 It Is Used: Apply Shampoo to wet hair and massage gently with fingertips, rinse thoroughly & repeat if desired. Apply Conditioner mid length to ends, comb through gently and leave 1-5 minutes then rinse out.

How Often Is It Used: Daily or as desired.

Salon Hair Supplies Are Better For Your Hair 0

Why is salon quality haircare better for your hair than super market brands, and why the difference in prices?

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?

The differences between salon and non salon haircare supplies:

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.  

You get what you pay for:

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.

Hairstyles from The Oscars 2016 Get The Look 0

Every year at "The Oscars" time, we all get treated to a hairstyle and fashion exhibition from A lister celebrities, and wannabe stars involved in the film industry. Some hairdos and outfits are winners, while others leave you wondering "what where they thinking?"

In 2016, The female Oscar's Hairstyles could best be described as semi casual, simple, soft, & not overly formal. While we did see some updos, most where only half up and half down or just pulled back into simple pony tails. Hairstyles where mostly down styles with loose waves, and with one particular theme of tucking one side behind an ear and exposing that cheek bone.

The men actually outdid the females in my opinion with most of them showing off clean cut, slick back classy hairstyles, most notably the WINNER of BEST Actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Here are a few 2016 Oscar hairstyles where we style advice and also show you what hair products to use to get the look.

Haircare Products to use to get the look:

Apply Edgy Bodify Styling Spray to damp hair, and then blow-dry and style normally. Bodify will give your hair

beautiful shine and lasting hold.

See HERE for more information

Cate Blancett looked amazing as usual with a NEW short Bob hair cut that was smooth in nature except for a slight wave on one side while the other side was tucked in behind her ear.	Margot Robbie looked glamorous with a casual hairstyle you could wear at any special occasion with long down soft waves, and a middle part that made her face shape look thinner and slimmer.
Haircare Products to use to get the look: NFUZION Zero Frizz Serum applied to dry blow waved hair will provide gloss and shine, while keep those annoying fly away hairs smooth all night.

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.

What Is Hair Conditioner And Why Do You Need It? 0

What Is Hair Conditioner And Why Do You Need It?

Have you ever wondered what is conditioner and where it came from? Who invented it and why do we need it?

Most of us just switch off and go into auto pilot, grab the bottle marked conditioner, squeeze out far too much and plonk it on our hair.

Not much to think about here, except to just keep rinsing it out.

For me as an apprentice hairdresser back in the 80’s, conditioner was a much more complex thing with a variety of smells, formulas, PH levels, and reasons for using it.

I found out rather quickly that a conditioner has the opposite effect to shampoo or reversing some of the things that shampoo naturally does to your hair like swelling of the cuticle that leaves your hair exposed to all the elements and hairstyling. Conditioner also closes the cuticle leaving it flat and not raised without gaps. So when hair is conditioned, it is ready for styling and has a greater chance of making it through the day without serious damage.

I also understood that for chemically treated hair, conditioner had an even more important reason to be used, and that was to return the hair back to a stable PH level again always to reverse and protect the hair.

And of coarse I realised pretty quickly that if I wanted to comb hair or remove knots I could not do it without using conditioner.

Still I wondered where did this second step in the hair-washing regime start?

Where Did Conditioner Come From?

For many centuries natural oils have been used to condition and control human hair. However, it seems that modern hair conditioner was invented at the turn of the 20 ^th century when perfumer Ed Pinaud presented a product he called brilliantine in Paris. His product was aimed at men’s hair, beards, and moustaches.

Since then modern science has improved the hair conditioner industry using new products and compounds (some good and some not so good) such as silicone, and fatty alcohols, that allow the hair to get benefits without feeling greasy or heavy.

How Does Conditioner Work?

Without getting into heavy chemical science, it’s interesting to note that the conditioner molecule has a positive charge that binds to the negative charge of a hair strand. The attraction is so strong that the conditioner (surfactants) completely surround the strand and cover the cuticle like a customized hair envelope. The small amount of acid in the conditioner makes the cuticle tighten up against each other and the hair feels smooth again, even after you rinse the conditioner out. Pretty neat yeah?

What Conditioner Do I need For My Hair Type?

Although there are many to choose from finding the right conditioner for you is usually as easy as purchasing the same matching one to your shampoo. So if your shampoo is for fine hair, coloured hair, oily hair, or dry hair, your conditioner will compliment what your shampoo is designed to do and generally this is what you should purchase.

The exceptions to this rule is where

• You have oily roots with long hair that requires a heavier or stronger moisturising effect from about the mid-lengths and down to the ends. In this case keep your dry hair conditioner off the root area.

• You are using a scalp relief shampoo for dandruff or flaky scalp but your hair is coloured, long and dry. Once again here you would select the apprpriate shampoo for your scalp and conditioner for your hair.

See Conditioner types here; find the one for your hair type.

NFUZION Blonde Revitalising Conditioner will neutralise and tone brassy and yellow tones on blonde hair. Retail price $18.95
