Bond Repair Pre-Buzz

Semi-permanent hair color does not contain peroxide so it can not lift the hair, therefore it can only make the hair darker and not lighter. The color will only last about six to twelve shampoos because it only deposits the hair color on the outermost layer of the hair. This is a good choice to try if you are afraid you may not like the color. Also, semi-permanent will enhance the shine and condition of the hair since it is not lifting. Demi-Permanent hair color contains low amounts of peroxide which unlike semi-permanent, it can lighten the hair slightly. Demi-permanent deposits the color between the cuticle and cortex, therefore, making it last longer, anywhere from 12 – 26 washes. Permanent hair color just as the name suggests, it is a permanent hair color and will last until the colored strands grow out. Permanent hair color can lighten hair up to 4 levels anything more than that is not recommended as it can cause damage to the hair.

After you receive your color service, wait at least 24 hours before shampooing your hair…48 hours is even better. Try and limit your washing to 3 times a week, especially if you have a more intense color like, red.

This is a really common question, but yes it is safe to colour hair during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. It’s natural to be apprehensive about colouring your hair during this anxious time, but as long as the normal procedures are carried out (e.g. Allergy test 48 hours before), then the normal rules still apply.

Blonde hair doesn’t contain a lot of colour pigment, and it is generally more porous than other hair colours, which leaves it susceptible to absorbing whatever it is soaked in. When you are in the swimming pool, it is the oxydisation of copper and iron in the water (caused by the chlorine) which can leave blonde hair with a nasty green tinge! Think of it as a similar reaction to rain creating rust!

It is always best to colour hair after a holiday – the sun and the pool can wreak havoc on freshly coloured hair! Also, if your client is holidaying somewhere hot and exotic, the change in conditions can leave hair dry, dull and brittle – so it’s always best to get them to check in after their trip for a recondition with their colour.

With so many different products on the market it can be difficult to know where to start. The first step is knowing your skin type and adapting your routine and products accordingly. Every routine will start with cleansing and end with moisturizing, and sun protection. Depending on your skin, in between, you can add serums, eye creams and other skincare products with active ingredients to target your concerns.

Your skincare routine will depend on your skin type and any concerns you want to address. The basics in every routine are cleanser, moisturizer and sun protection. It’s important to choose a gentle cleanser formulated for your skin type to get rid of dirt, sebum, traces of makeup and pollution. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated and looking plump and refreshed. Applying sun protection every day protects your skin from UV rays and the oxidative stress they generate. Complete your routine with targeted products such as serums that are often super-concentrated and packed with nutrients and ingredients for specific concerns, like wrinkles.

Most of you probably already have a pretty good idea about your skin type. If in doubt, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and wait 30-60 mins. How does your skin feel? Is it slightly tight? Is it starting to shine? Here are some key signs to look out for:

Dry skin:your skin feels parched or tight when you smile
Normal skin: you notice a slight shine on your nose and forehead
Oily skin: there is a lot of shine on your nose, forehead and cheeks
Combination skin: your skin gets oily around T-zone
Sensitive skin:your skin is a little itchy or red in tone

The skin plays an essential role as a protective barrier keeping microbes out and water in. Exposed to external stressors like the sun and pollution, it needs to be looked after to stay healthy. This means applying appropriate sun protection, drinking lots of water to stay hydrated and adapting your skincare routine to your skin type. Let’s not forget the importance of a good night’s sleep and keeping stress to a minimum.

Committed to the battle against animal testing, we banned the practice in our labs in 1989, nearly 15 years before European regulations came into force. Even in China, where we have been modifying the regulation by sharing our testing protocols, L’Oréal Paris products are not tested on animals.

" In the L’Oréal Paris laboratories, our teams of scientists – biologists, pharmacists, biochemists, chemists and dermatologists – work together to perfect our products. The skincare ranges are developed with dermatologists at every step and their efficacy proven through clinical testing."
