abit about being organically whole inside and out

2011-03-11T19:20:00.000-08:00

Organic is healthiness from the inside out,

what happens when you switch from chemical based colours and products is that your own environment and toxicity reduces drastically and the overload is lessened and begins to leave your system with as your detoxify.

You are no longer adding to that by putting more toxins in or adding to the heavy metals absorption that chemicals do to our systems

when we use them regularly use.

· Step by Step you can stop the toxins gong within. A Common sense approach is to take charge of your body and what goes in.

· So you begin to feed the body, scalp and hair nutrients instead of a fast food diet

As this clears up in time you will see the natural beauty and shine reflected on the outside

Simply Organic is our present line and as we use shampoo's and rinses most in our life for personal cleaning the things we choose really matter

· Never assume something is Organic because the label says so, Do the research or ask a trusted third party.

Our professional colours are pre designed to repair and restore your natural hairs tensile strength and protect it from breakage as the cuticle and cortex is no longer blasted open by chemical compounds ( see newsletter )

The balance point haircuts and shaping we do,for men and women are also by design and they will grow into a form and not out of shape.

Yes Really. !

giving you low maintenance easy to manage, healthy glowing shiny hair, and shiny by design.

and not through product add-ons that are prescribed by the beauty industry.

Yes they need you to buy lots of product they needs you to purchase as ....Hmm I wonder if that is by accident having to buy more product to create a sheen or chemical shine ?

Food for thought

So Organically truly organic looks at the whole you with whole health in mind and focuses upon.

we are not selling health but sharing knowledge and experience it with you.

As many of you may already be informed of most of this, this is the hairdressers story !

If you have our brochure you will find inside an Introductory offer for a first time discount

· Bring it with you and spread the news to becoming healthy inside and out

· If you do not Just ask us we'll send you one.

and Organic is not as expensive as people imagine though the products may cost a little more the usage goes much further per application much further.

Tips for picking a new look for you

2010-11-24T06:03:00.000-08:00

Hair Gallery View
Hair gallery that is UK based this is for you to view and flick through the new looks and colours you might want to go towards in the new year
It is exrtensive but well worth digging through we have found.
Our take on this is when you look through these galleries pick for yourself or a friend an idea, a feel a colour, theme or a length you would like to try, don;t just pick a style, try to cover the face of the model ( sorry model) or it will throw you off, we can all look like that after a day in the studio 'really and a few photoshop touch ups, it is unrealistic.
It is they hair itself you need to see.
You can print a few or email them and then discuss or review with your hairdresser.
If a friend or co worker has a style you like bring in a photo or best of all flip through those magazines at offices or stores as usually you will find the models in these have much more realistic and more natural daily wear hairdo's
Good luck

Using shampoo's and conditioners The Right way

2009-07-24T10:44:00.001-07:00

Recently a client asked me "How to use the Organic Shampoos and conditioners ?" exactly and I realized that we as hairdressers take it for granted that you KNOW how to use the products that you buy whether organic or no. Usually a good product will have the method of use, the instructions written on the bottle itself or at least as a guideline.
As a hairdresser and educator in the industry for over 25 years now I will tell you that we as educators always get educated first and foremost on the products we use first and foremost before we ever use them, all of companies vary and the result is based upon the education of correct knowledge and use. Do the same "if you don't know, don't assume" ASK. ?

HOWEVER this is what we recommend for you and to follow as a method for using products here so that they do not cause more damage to you. As you might guess incorrect use can create a whole host of other problems for you.

Our products are in fact all certified organic and have a great harmonic and life force or bio-energetic energy you can find out more about that from our website.
Here are the guidelines and methods we use as professionals for our product use.

For shampoo massage into the scalp and middle of hair emulsify with water to shake down the hair Organics are extremely light or concentrated too much product use just creates more waste and higher product sales ( think about it ) be ECO friendly only use what you need.

With organics you should rinse more than normal as they are highly concentrated and have done their job with use. NO extra products is required with Organics less is best
So use small amounts and emulsify with water shampoo twice (always) and rinse alot more than usual, we find that people simply don't rinse enough as we have a subconscious perception that if we leave a bit in it helps or we feel it is clean when actually as hairdressers absolutely no cleansing products should be left in the hair, none, you wouldn't leave soap or bodywash on your skin would you so rinse out more than you would normally about twice as long as you think you should. We do !!

For our conditioner or most conditioners, we suggest at least one inch away from the scalp
Always use your conditioner never skip this step it actually does protect the hair and closes the cuticle and protects the hair shaft from the environment and damage getting into the hair and breaking it down.

Never leave conditioner on, it will do it's job then rinse it off. Leaving it on can create a build up a white or grey scaly chalk like layer on your hair and causes more damage and dullness and flatness, if it is on your hair it is also on your scalp is it not !!
Guess what itchy flaky or scalp problems ensue.
We know we see quite alot of these types of issues in the salon and more hair care and scalp problems come from BUILD UP on hair especially if they are chemical or synthetic, silicone based products.
If you need extra conditioning use a good re-treatment and use it regularly,we would suggest a protein based one, or use a small amount of a smoothing product or a serum, we can assist you and help you define your needs.
A conditioner is a conditioner, let it be so .........
It's important to define what you need and use less ( though of course trying out lots of products can be fun we know that ..............!!
For the rebuilding and repair treatments always squeeze dry most of the moisture first from your hair, very gently though, after your shampooing then, take a small amount about a dollar size in the palm of your hand and blend over and in your hand evenly, apply to the hair from at least 1 inch off of the scalp area ( not into or onto scalp ) and pull through with hands evenly, middle of hair and ends most and the cover with cap if possible for 10 to 15 Min's - (perhaps cover cap with towel for additional heat to infuse into the hair more)

• other options is to leave in 3 to 5 Min's for a quick treatment and rinse out thoroughly it still works repetition and constant use is the key not always time those good habits that work for us
And please be kind to your hair, never ever leave product in the hair, it only builds up and causes problems later on !

Hope that this How to helps you

Spring is here time for a change, perhaps of colour or style

2009-03-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

We choose and prefer to be “Organic” and 3rd party certified organic wherever possible for the control and absolute safety factor of knowing what it is we use that is might be absorbed into your system and body through the hair follicle and cells (on a repetitive basis) it is chemicals and synthetics that will cause toxicity to you and your body as a system,itch and burn the scalp ( obviously not good but what was the alternative before !) and chemical colour will create hair shaft breakdown when used repeatedly.
Organic to us is a lifestyle and caring for your environment YOU so if
you decide what goes into your body you will create it's future health
Chemicals and cacogenics are in colours, perms, shampoo's, conditioners and styling products, they are not safe to use on our bodies.
It’s what we leave out that counts, so we leave out the harsh and damaging chemicals it is closer to nature and our natural hair structure is not so affected. It lasts longer and dosen't fade out either. The repeat colour process is lessened because it just lasts longer and the tones and vibrancy does not lessen. It colours grey hair fantastically it is rich, vibrant and really shiny, and it lasts longer than any other colour we have used. How great is that. It also lightens hair as it is a professional designers colour created in the U.K.
It was created to be in an alignment to our hair naturally and therefore our body’s health as a whole. Not to break it down to to repair and maintian the hair stucture as healthy as it was. So maintanence is also less of a problem.
Organic Hair colouring is the safest method available at this point in time, for hair colouring that does not knowingly include any harsh toxins or harsh chemicals that might be absorbed or ingested into our bodies through our scalps and lungs with repeated use !
We also found a great IDEAS hairgallery for you to visulize the new you and new colour of you crowning glory. Enjoy

Organic is a lifestyle as well as a product, ...really !

2008-11-17T10:31:00.001-08:00

Organic to us is a lifestyle, a commitment and a maze to find high quality products and ingredients that are and alive, energetic, grown in the best possible conditons and certified. Ingredients that actually do what they say they do. Not everything that says it is good for you is good for you, not everything labelled organics is as pure as you might be led to believe. We will be doing a comparison or labels and shampoo"s and conditoners specifically soon as there is still much confusion and misguidence within the packaging, labelling and marketing. Natural and organic should not be a trend, it NOW is a marketers dream, the point we switch is to be healthy and in aware not another marketplace commodity. Healthy and organic products should be carefully chosen to make a huge impact and difference in you life and your loved ones, your bodies and your cells. Your immune system your organs all of it counts. Remember we truly are what we eat and what we put in we get back out, just like life and karma as the Buddhists know it.
One consistent thing we found in our 25 years in the business and the health and beauty industry we have always seen that packaging and delicious inviting labeling still sells products, lots of products we are still sensual beings, sexy sells if organic were more sexy everyone would buy it! Do not be deceived, truly organic is CLEAN the labels are often simpler and ecologically designed to be biodegradable and inexpensive, as is the container, think of it more all round.
Another thing we have found in our 25 years is that high quality ingredients and life force - alive nourishment is not cheap, good quality costs a little more and in the health costs you will surely reap the benefits and save for sure. Be aware be informed. You might want to ask yourself "How much is your health worth to you?
To me it is priceless if we have vital health we have abundance and empowerment. More on that later...........
So we suggest always do your research and network with like-minded companies (Tip: good ethical companies have nothing to hide and are clear with you) and individuals when you find a company that fits your need and the products do what they say they do, stick with them and grow organically as a whole. Enjoy you journey

natural v's certified organic we are what we eat ...really !!

IS "NATURAL" REALLY BETTER?

There are people who really do think there are "safe" synthetic chemicals, which can be applied to the skin and eaten in food without doing any harm. However didn't the cigarette manufacturers maintain for over thirty years that the synthetic chemicals in smoke didn’t cause cancer too? It is easy to bury your head in the sand and ignore these dangers as we listen to the hollow platitudes of vested interests that are making billions from a gullible public.
Today, harmful synthetic chemicals are found everywhere, in the food we eat, the air we breathe and even the products we have in our bathrooms. It is no wonder that people everywhere are becoming sick. That is why there is a growing trend, worldwide, towards certified organic products.

The glossy images we're fed by the media hide a dangerous secret: Most of our toiletries, even the "natural variety", are made from the same harsh synthetic chemicals used for industry".

We should avoid toxic synthetic chemicals from all sources. We can do this by sourcing organic produce as much as we possibly can and using only certified organic personal care products and cosmetics. You may be amazed at the huge difference these simple measures will make to your health.

WHY CERTIFIED ORGANIC

HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE BUYING IS REALLY “NATURAL” AND “ORGANIC"?

Have you ever wondered what "NATURAL" actually meant when you read it on the bottle of shampoo or skin care product you just bought? Or did you assume because the word natural was used that it must be good for you and safe? You get the product home and then you find you can't even read the long synthetic chemical names on the label let alone pronounce them! Why on earth do they say it is "NATURAL"? How can this be if the synthetic chemical names are so long I can't even begin to pronounce them?

Would you be shocked to find what manufacturers can claim is "natural" is actually so far removed from natural it isn't funny?

If we look in the dictionary for the word organic it is pretty obvious to us what we expect to find as far as safe products in general are concerned. Would you say in the context you are expecting to use or find the term organic that this would be a fair description; "produced and involving production without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or synthetic chemicals." To me it seems rather elementary that when describing a product as organic that this is exactly what the customer would expect. However to the marketing men this is not what they mean by organic.

Step by Step

2008-08-24T19:20:00.000-07:00

When you make the commitment to become Organic, or non-toxic or steer away from harmful ingredients you use, Remember to take it step by step and balance and learn as you go. Listen to your body and be kind to yourself.
You might also want to take a look at a simple cleanse and detox program like the IN-LIVEN Probitic that is what I use regularly and depend on most, with In-Liven is the result of over 20 years research & development. The bacteria are produced from fruits and vegetables and not fast-tracked from faecal matter.It contains significant enzymes, vital amino acids and a broad spectrum of essential nutrients
the main thing is to STOP putting poisons and toxic substances into your system and be kinder TO YOURSELF, but you might want to consider at the same time, removing and cleansing out the toxins and chemicals already embedded in your system and body.
Cleansing and detoxing on a regular basis will eliminate alot of potential troubles and bring you more clarity and clearer skin, hair and vitality.

Healthy shampoo's... WHY DON'T THEY LATHER SO MUCH

2008-06-09T08:59:00.000-07:00

Shampoos and body washes do not actually need to generate lots of suds and lather to CLEAN HAIR OR BODIES...........effectively. Lather doesn't really assist the cleansing process, except that it might make it easier for you to feel that your shampoo or body wash has been evenly distributed.
We've been conditioned to like lather. But many shampoos and body washes rely on inexpensive,petrochemical derived detergents such as sodium lauryl sulphates for
their foam building properties. These chemicals can dry out the hair and skin, and may cause allergic reactions as well as environmental problems. Our shampoos and body wash do not contain any synthetic ingredients or sulphates and so provide a modest lather.

Synthetic based shampoos deposit a layer of silica over the hair shaft -
creating the perception of shine and plumping up the hair. With
continued use of Certified Organic shampoo, it will start to break down and dissolve
this coating and you will notice it start to foam more. It will also
foam more on the second wash because the first application comes in
contact with more sebaceous oils. To speed up the process of this
detoxification, try the Clarifying Hair Rinse to cleanse the hair between shampooing and conditioning. Until then, it will seem as though the hair is flat and dry and the shampoo won't seem to lather much - but persevere, it is worth it!
