Q: Can I get my hair to look and feel clean without the damage of washing it every single day?

A: Your hair will appreciate a break from daily washing when all it really needs is to remove excess oil and refresh the style. Pronto Dry Shampoo, massaged in at the roots, captures the oil in its rice and oat starches, then brushes away, gives instant lift and leaves no powdery residue.

Q: How can I keep my hair color from fading so quickly and becoming dull?

A: You need a product that replenishes the color you lose each time you wash your hair or expose it to the sun. Ancora Colore color conditioning system, used once a week, will maintain your fresh salon color so that when you return to your colorist, all you’ll need is to touch up your roots. This conditioning system will keep your hair healthy and keep your cuticle sealed to maintain your color’s vibrancy and luster. And be sure to shampoo and condition every time with products designed for chemically treated or overstressed hair.

Q: How can I keep my hair from becoming frizzy and make it easier to blow dry my hair smooth?

A: Start fighting frizz in the shower! If you use a shampoo, conditioner and weekly treatment specific to fighting frizz, it will cut your blow-drying and styling time in half. Make it a regimen and not a quick fix. Once you’ve found a nourishing shampoo, treat hair weekly with Trattamento di Jasmine.

Q: My hair is very fine and it won’t hold my style without lots of hairspray. What can I use to hold my look all day?

A: You need a volumizer that not only adds fullness but also keeps your hair healthy, because if your hair is dry and lacks flexibility and elasticity it will not have the bounce it needs to hold your style and fullness all day. Try this: Use Volume Volumizing Spray all over damp hair. It activates with the heat of blow-drying. You might want to place some big Velcro rollers in each heated section and let cool for five minutes. Then when you remove them you will have locked in an enormous amount of volume that is flexible and bouncy. This product contains wheat proteins and sea algae to not only volumize but also strengthen and fortify hair to maintain its health.

Q: How often should I treat my hair if it is very dry and damaged?

A: To repair hair back to good health, it needs treatment at least bi-weekly. Once the quality of your hair has improved and breakage diminishes, you maintain its health by treating it once a week. Make Trattamento al Fango a part of your hair regimen. It will rapidly and effectively improve the quality of your hair and will lessen breakage from over-styling or chemical damage. This treatment will also strengthen your cuticle to prevent further damage.

Q: After I cleanse my hair there is product residue left over. What can I use to remove excess buildup without stripping my hair?

A: You exfoliate your skin regularly – your hair needs it too. Like skin, hair accumulates residue and dead skin cells. Gently exfoliate once a week or every third wash with Shampoo and Trattamento D’Alternanza hair exfoliating system to renew and restore body and shine and help all of your other hair products work more effectively. Think of it as a facial for your hair!

Q: How can I create that tousled wavy beachy look I always see in the magazines?

A: Most hair contains an underlying body that is usually weighed down just by the actual weight of your hair, the wrong haircut or the wrong styling aids. You need a product that increases the amount of wave you have or enhances the wave your hair already contains. Onde Wave Enhancing Spray is formulated specifically to enhance your hair’s natural texture while keeping it healthy and shiny. Apply Onde to damp hair and lightly diffuse hair with low heat to build the wave and texture you desire. Finish with cool air to lock in waves.

Q: How can I make my short haircut look expensive and more interesting?

A: You can have the greatest haircut with edgy layers but without the proper styling aids to define your layers and add texture, your cool haircut will just lie flat and look average. Apply Tocco Finale Sculpting Pomade to dry hair, warming it in your palms and letting it travel to fingertips. Then sculpt layered sections or scrunch throughout hair to add volume, texture and shape to your haircut. This product is also perfect for men’s haircuts.
