If you’re strugglin’ with frizzy, fly-away locks. Do ‘em a favor and keep it dirty.

Our natural oils are our best conditioners. They’ll smooth, relax and polish you up. To freshin up simply rinse and condition, just skip the shampoo. Dry shampoos like Kevin Murphy’s  ”Fresh hair” are also a great way to freshin, add volume and texture.

Enjoy!

For smoother, shinnier, frizz and breakage free hair comb out your hair from root to end with a regular barber comb.  The tighter teeth smooth out the cuticle and push shorter, broken, and frizzy hairs back into place.

Every new year we hear that we must replace our smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries. Every 5000 km we honour our cars with an oil change.  Hopefully replace our toothbrushes every season or sooner.  And we also know to change the filter in the water pitcher every 2 months or 151 litres.  But when do we upgrade our styling tools.   When the brush gets so full of hair that it can no longer grip our cherished new cut?  When the blow dryer starts to smoke or has put you 1.5 lbs or $75 over your allowed luggage weight?  There are lots of us out there struggling with styling our own hair.  I’m always hearing, “it’ll never look like this again”.  Besides the lack of, “try-try-again”, which is how must stylists got their skills, many are trying to shape their lovely locks with hotel bathroom blow dryers and brushes we bought at the same place as our windshield washer and the latest season of Desperate Housewives.

Although having our hair shaped, polished and colour enhanced is the least expensive cosmetic procedure, it is also the most effective.  So we should really be taking full advantage of these savings.  We can best do this by protecting and maintaining our investment.   For example, a great blow dryer will not only speed up your styling time, it will give you the result you want with little effort.   Allowing you to enjoy the styling process and not make it feel like a chore.   At the same time your right brush will polish your colour and give you the dexterity to place and lock in your style.  Good products will also make the “job” easier, but with a little question and answer session with a great experienced stylist will get you superior products that will turn your morning routine into an experience. 

Hallmark™ shows no signs of adding “Blow Dryer Appreciation Day” to the calendar anytime soon, so it’s up to us to begin the “Upgrade” revolution.  Look your best everyday! And enjoy the process getting there.

Look forward to serving you,

Our products are like our wardrodes.  We’ll have pieces that come and go but we will always have our perfect skirt and pumps. Same is true for our hair.  Exploring and playing with new products is always fun, but in a jam or packing for a holiday we always grab our favourite hairspray and mousse.  Just make sure its good mousse.  Good mousse is creamy and runs smoothly through the hair, not foamy and crunchy.  A can of mousse should have weight.  This tells us that there is more product then areosol.  So as the product disapates there should still be a liquid product on your hands not a dry sticky film.  And the same is true for your hairspray.  Great hairspray  never makes hair look unaproachable.  For a hairspray or finishing spray to perform well it should always enhance your style, allow hair to move and leave you with an elastic hold and brushable finish. 

My third and favourite product is like a polish for hair.  Alterna Caviar* makes a product called rapid repair spray.  This super concentrated spray protects your hair from environmently stresses and deeply moisturizes.  Caviar* rapid repair spray also leaves the hair with a soft sheen that enhances your colour, tames frizz and fly-aways, and in the winter mouths controls static.  Loving our hair should be easy.  Easy begins with using what you know, then expanding  from there.  This Christmas upgrade your basics  to better more effective basics and bask in the luxury of everyday being a good hair day.

Caviar Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner

Alterna Caviar Hair Care. It has long been recognized that as we age, hair loses vital nutrients, causing it to become dull and brittle. One of the most important nutrients lost is the omega-3 fatty acid. Once again, in order to find a way to boost the hair’s intake of a crucial nutrient (in this case, omega-3), Alterna has uncovered the richest provider of omega-3 and a perfect complement to Alterna’s enzymetherapy® complex – caviar. Caviar is known to provide significant levels of this life-sustaining source and is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals. Caviar also has a cell format that is similar to human skin, helping to improve the health of the scalp. By including a caviar extract in some of its formulations, Alterna is able to bring back soft, healthy-looking luster while protecting the hair from the effects of aging. By supplementing the hair with the richest source of omega-3 and the enzymes required to convert hair’s essential building blocks into a useable form, hair can be revitalized from root to tip, returning it to a more youthful-looking appearance.

Cavair Volume Molding Creme

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Volume Molding Creme is ideal to shape, mold and add volume or texture to hair.

This versatile styling product provides a medium to strong pliable hold, leaving hair with a clean and natural finish. Antioxidant rich Rhodiola Extract and Vitamin C form a powerful combination that shields fragile locks and scalp from thermal styling and environmental aggressors that cause damage and color fade.

Directions:

Apply a small quantity to towel-dried hair and style as desired. To refresh style and add extra texture, use sparingly on dry hair.

Cavair Polishing Serum
