Formaldehyde testing in salons

by | May 9, 2017 | Brazilian blow dry, Zoltan

Formaldehyde testing in salons

Formaldehyde is a gas and it can be easily measured in the salon air with a simple test for 20minutes during the treatment process.

I highly recommend to test the formaldehyde level before and during the treatment regularly to every stylist, and hair salon when they offering Keratin services, even if they think they do not use formaldehyde-based Keratin treatment, as there are manufacturers don’t say the truth about the level of formaldehyde in the products.

As of today I haven’t seen anyone testing for formaldehyde, so if you a professional please look up my blog for info how to do the procedure, and where to order your kit and pricing etc

The history of digital perming

by | Apr 28, 2017 | Zoltan

Here I intend to give you a brief information on Digital perming, which  is a new technologie originates from Japan in the beginning of 2000’s. Well that’s what most hairdressers would say, but it’s isnt entirely trough. Digital perming is simply using heat in the perming process which originates from Europe from and around the 1900’s. In the beginning it was a very exclusive and expensive process easily costing a monthly wage, but before World War II it was as cheap as a dollar and wildly available worldwide.

Then cold perming become the trend and everyone has forgotten the old techniques and machines. In early 2000’s after the success of thermal reconditioning (permanent hair straightening), Japanese stylist and companies started to develop the up to date techniques and products of the original wired hot perming techniques which become a hot new thing, and huge success in Asia called Digi perm. The metrology stayed the same but everything the machines and chemicals have greatly been improved.

The main difference in digital (hot) perming compared to traditional (cold) permings are:

The digi perming techniques allow different parts of the hair to be processed by different strength of chemicals and to allow them to develop for different times, and /or areas to the hair to be more protected and cared for.

The digital perming can create larger and more natural looking waves, and the curls are more defined when they dry rather then the traditional perming is more defined when it’s vet and usually technicians use it for for stronger curls. It is difficult to create root lift with the digi (hot) perming method, as the heat can not be close to the scalp as it would cause dissconfort and burn, but with cold perms it is standard to start from the roots.

Zoltan currently offers his perms tailored to customers needs, and offers both hot and cold perming methods to his customers. He has the most up to date digital perming machine which is extremely gentle to the hair and it’s only 3 in europe of this type of machine. He takes pride in his perms and uses the very best of the available machines, techniques and lotions.

What is Keraplex hair treatment?

by | Jan 15, 2017 | Brazilian blow dry, Keratin, Keratin Smooth, keratin treatment, Pro

What is a Keraplex hair treatment, and how does it work?

In the UK more and more people talking about Keraplex hair and wondering is it work, and what’re the differences to a usual keratin treatment?

Keraplex is a hybrid treatment a combination of two amazing stand-alone services:

  1. Olaplex bond building treatment
  2. keraSWIFT keratin repair and smoothing treatment

 

Using two unique treatments, which improves the hair condition so much we left with long lasting beautiful hair for months.

What are the two treatments in Keraplex?

Olaplex is a bond building treatment, it strengthens your hair internally it’s only a few years old technology which allows it te repair and reconnects broken sulphate bonds in the hair. It works amazingly as an added to technical services e.g. bleaching and colour or perms and straightening.

KeraSWIFT

other keratin treatments

 

To read and find out a little more about Olaplex Bond Building technology click here.

The treatment combination works and can improve hair condition. I personally find that doing the treatments first an Olaplex Bond Building then any type of Keratin treatment will give you better results as your hair will be stronger, and in better condition. My costumers saying that in some ways it extends the results of the keratin treatment.

Nowadays I tend to separate the treatments and only offer Keraplex or Zolaplex when my costumers do not have time to visit the salon regurlalry. If they are able to make two separate visits first for a Keratin treatment and then a stand alone Olaplex treatment I find that results are slightly better. It is important that there are some Keratin treatments if Olaplex applied after the Keratin treatment it does need a few weeks wait for Oleplex to be able to penetrate to the hair properly.

It is important that we apply Olplex first and Keratin treatment second,  there are some Keratin treatments if Olaplex applied after the Keratin treatment it does need a few weeks wait for Oleplex to be able to penetrate to the hair properly.

 

book in with Zoltan for a KERAPLEX treatment

To perform the Keraplex treatment it usually takes around 3/4 hour longer than your usual Keratin treatment. My Zolaplex adds around 1 hour and 15 minutes to the Keratin treatment time. The treatment lasts as long as the Keratin treatments do.  Depending on the hair it is recommended in some cases to repeat an Olaplex treatment before the next Keraplex treatment.

Note to US readers:

There is also a US company called Keraplex Inc producing a Keratin treatment called Keraplex which does not contain bond building or Olaplex. I have never tested or tried the product so I am unable to comment on the quality and the results achieved by this treatment.
