Spring is finally here! To me, it's the season where most of us go from one hair care product to another, to see what is better suited for our hair and scalp type. Maybe we should be asking, "are there other options?" How come my hair and scalp are still feeling and looking itchy, dry, dull and lifeless?

Remember the Sixties? I know some of us would like to forget it, but remember back to those "geometrical" haircuts. Using the steam iron to flatten and straighten your hair. The coke cans used on curly hair to make it look bouncy, smoother and fuller. Curly and wavy hair (whether it's natural or not). Curling irons and perm rods under the dryer.

The television series "Mad Men" has brought all this back, only with a modern spin. This classic trend is great, because you can simply choose the style you like, as long as it suits you, along with today's clothing, makeup and hairstyle of your choice. The versatilities are endless, provided that your hair is of the right texture and lifestyle for you.
Our imaginations were limitless when we used all those medieval devices, but the geometric lines of the haircut certainly allowed for creativity. We created whatever our imaginations allowed us to dream up. In addition, experiment we did.

All those wonderful toys we experienced are available today with better technology, and are faster, lighter, easier and safer to use (they also come in many wonderful colours). Let's not forget that there are also environmentally friendly hair irons with positive and negative ions.
This spring, I've come across a new hair care product called SudzzFx. So far, the reaction from my clients using it has been very good. With certified botanical organics and a light scent, I can understand why they're thrilled about it.

I know you've heard some of this before, but I'll tell you again that SudzzFx really does deliver. Their line of products are all colour safe, right down to their styling aids. This means that even though our hair was somewhat happy in the 60's, even if it meant dry, brittle, dull, lifeless and itchy scalps, we don't have to sacrifice the damage. We can still have wonderful, shiny, bouncy, voluminous, colour safe and healthy hair...and no itchy scalp either!

I have certainly found my environmentally friendly footprint, which will not go unnoticed by my clients. As to what is going down your drain, I'll prescribe the right products for you.

So, spring into the Sixties trend with up-to-date fashion and hair care products. Just mention this article when you come in for your appointment and receive 10% off.
