So today
is May 1st! Happy MAY DAY!! Did anyone get any baskets? Don’t worry I didn’t
get any either.
Today was
a great day for the world of #Stylists. Redken® Diamond Oil product line
launched today! I was there at Salon Centric before 9am this morning to make
sure that I was one of the first to get this amazing product. I had a chance
earlier in April to try out the oil and of course did a review of that here if
you want to go read that product review. But this is about the Facets. And the
facets are strong with this one. (star wars reference)
So the
client that I was able to use this product on today name is Katie and will be
refereed as that from here on in. Katie decided a few weeks or months ago to go
from blonde, to a darker color because her and her cousin thought it would be
fun to see her with darker hair. Now understand Katie is a senior in high
school this year, and yes you guessed it graduation is in less than three
weeks.
So Katie
came to me yesterday and was like Jay I need your help I want to go back
blonde!!! I’m looking at her hair like really!! Well that’s a great hope but it
will take a while to draw out that color, and of course I’m a stylist that will
keep the integrity of the hair as much as I can. Sure I could have slap a 40v
with Lightener in there and called it a day but no.
We went
and stripped the hair color as much as possible with a color correction product
that we have at Studio 28 Salon. So after the processing time and the
shampooing and the rubbing of the hair and the conditioning of the hair
yesterday, we were able to really lighten the hair up to a nice reddish brown.
Blow-dry and see you tomorrow. Letting her hair have a rest.
So today
after school Katie comes back and we planned for a all over heavy highlight,
well not everyone has money floating around and what not, and Katie’s mom asked
that we do as much as possible with (x amount) said that’s fine and tweaked the
original plan. So a heavy partial highlight was completed and processed for a
short period of time.
Now is
the part that is most important to this. I washed Katie’s hair with a few
shampoos and conditioners, but Redken® Diamond Oil was used in every aspect of
this process where it could be used of course. I wanted to do a report on it
today. So after everything was washed out, the Deep Facets was applied and let
set for 5-15 minutes. (Intermission)
Diamond
oil Deep Facets is an oil-fused formula that gives a great intensive
nourishment, strength and replenishment. This is going to provide a protective
layer of oils that is going to really going to help prevent further damage. It
restores the smoothness and amazing diamond shine that only Diamond oil can
bring to the table. (Intermission Discontinued)
So the recommended
time for the Diamond Oil Facet has passed. Time to wash right! Well I learned
early on that using cold water helps close the cuticle on the hair shaft. SO we
wash out the Facet with nice cold water. Chilling her of course. NEXT its
combing out and cutting of those freaky dead super damned hair. SO a haircut
was due and it turned out of course, and then its blow-dry time. After a
chemical service you can usually feel the damage that has happened no matter
what it is. And with Facet Oil I’m telling you it was soft, shiny not even
having to use the actual Diamond Oil, it was amazing simply amazing. After the
blow-dry her hair was healthy looking despite knowing what we had done do it. I
truly believe that without the Diamond Oil and the Diamond Oil Facet it would
have not even came close to how epic Katie’s hair turned out!
So if
anyone is actually reading this blog, and gives a crap with what a hairstylist
has to say about a something here or there, go buy this product or get testers
for yourself or a client maybe. Or if you a possibly not a stylist and your
reading this go ask your personal stylist to use it in your head. I’m telling
you, you will LOVE this product!
~Jay~
