Cause of Hair Loss in a Hair System

by Emmanuel

HairLossBrushEach of my hair system designs are exclusive to the Jeffrey Paul Salon and are made with technologically advanced materials and proprietary blends of hair. Our hair systems are handmade in which we tie each hair in by hand selecting only the finest quality hair available. This ensures that our guests look natural and beautiful.

One of the greatest desires of our guests is to have their hair system last as long as possible. In order for us to help our guest achieve this goal it is important that they follow a well-prescribed maintenance program including: the right techniques, products, tools and procedures as prescribed by my trained hair specialists.

Because a hair system is a handmade product, natural hair shedding, from continued use, over the course of six months to a year is normal. However, there are a number of actions that can cause excessive hair loss AFTER delivery of your hair system. 

One of the largest factors creating major, ongoing, irreversible hair loss in a hair system is conditioner remaining in the root area. Conditioner that is allowed to be absorbed onto the base of the hair system and gather around the root system will ultimately prevent the root system form pivoting 360 degrees allowing for hair to loosen and fall out or break off at the root.

To prevent against excessive hair loss in your hair system, conditioner MUST be thoroughly and completely rinsed out to avoid excessive hair loss in a hair system.

Ask Jeffrey: Are Bargain Brands OK?

by Emmanuel

JP_SulfateScribbleQuestion_9_10_13“I learned a lot about hairspray from your video. What about shampoo? Are the bargain brands OK, like White Rain or Suave?” ~Joyce B.

This is an excellent question! There are two things to look for when picking a shampoo.

1. What types of ingredients are used is in the product.

2. Which ingredients are listed as the top 3-4 ingredients?

Most bargain brand products are not using high quality grade ingredients because they are expensive and they wouldn’t be able to sell their products for a “bargain”. You want to look for a shampoo that contains USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade ingredients.  These types of ingredients are more expensive than normal ingredients because they must meet standards for strength, quality and purity. However, this also means that the ingredients are much higher in quality which allows them to deliver the best possible results for your hair. Remember, you ultimately get what you pay for.

Next, most bargain brands list water as the first ingredient which means that the product is primarily water versus cleanser. My Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Shampoo has the cleansing agent listed as the 1st ingredient. This means that the majority of the product is made to cleanse and moisturize your hair. By having the cleansing ingredient listed as the first ingredient means that you can use less product and still get the best results. This ultimately allows you to save money. Versus using a product that lists water as the first ingredient which you will need to use more of to get even close to similar results.

Check out my post on How NOT to Waste Product for an additional tip on the biggest culprit of wasted shampoo.

I hope this helps. Keep your questions coming and keep an eye out for our step-by-step Maintenance Video and Free Maintenance Package giveaway coming out later this month!

Is More Better?

by Emmanuel

JP_moreless_9_6_13

Myth – Using more product is better.

Fact – Just because something works great does not mean that using more of it will work even better. Overusing product can not only cause hair loss to your hair system but wastes product. My Beautiful Hair System is formulated with the highest grade USP ingredients in order to have the best product possible but not meaning you have to use more of it to get results.

It is also important not to use too little product because if you are not using the right amount of product you may not be getting the results you desire and tangling, matting, dryness and breakage may be occurring. It is very important to speak with your hair care professional to discuss how much product you should be using based on the length and texture of your hair.

How NOT to Waste Product

by Emmanuel

JP_Hands_9_5_13Do you ever feel like you are using endless amount of shampoo, conditioner or other hair products? You are spending a fortune on buying products only to feel like you go through them quicker and quicker.

One of the biggest culprits for wasted product is overuse due to not emulsifying product. What is emulsifying a product? That is a great question!

Most people hop in the shower grab their bottle of shampoo, squeeze it in their hands and apply it directly to their hair. The problem with this is that the product is unable to spread properly which means the individual either has one very clean section of hair or has to go back and use more product to get the rest of their hair clean.

Next time you hop in the shower and grab the bottle of shampoo or conditioner; or are styling your hair with your favorite styling aid make sure to do the following:

1. Squeeze the correct amount of product into your hands based on the length and type of hair texture.

2. Emulsify product by rubbing your hands together, as if you were trying to warm your hands up, spreading the product through your hands and fingers and also warming the product up.

3. Then using your fingers evenly spread the product through your hair.

Seems simple, but I will guarantee that not only will your hair have better results you will also save money by not wasting product!

Everlasting Products?

by Emmanuel

Time-expired-300x200Myth – The Beautiful Hair Products can last several years.

Fact – Because our products are developed with the highest grade USP ingredients the shelf life of the Beautiful Hair Products is 1 year. After a year, we cannot guarantee that the product will give the same quality results.

The guidelines for product usage are based on how many times per week a guest washes their hair and the length and texture of hair. The usage chart below is based on 6”hair length in a straight texture. Hair longer than 6” or with more curly texture would mean that product will be used faster. Hair shorter than 6” length would mean that product would be used slightly slower (Usage below based on an 8oz bottle):

  • 1 Wash Per Week = 5 – 6 months
  • 3 Washes Per Week = 3 – 4 months
  • 7 Washes Per Week = 1 – 2 months

“The goal of the Jeffrey Paul Salon is to always exceed our guests’ expectations by providing the best of the best in services, products, experience, education and care!” For more information on becoming one of our guests please email or call us to set up a private consultation or visit our guest corner for more guest specific information.

Which Products Do I Use – Why?

by Emmanuel

WenQuestionProducts“I am certain that you have heard about “WEN®” products.  I would think the products would work great with the integrative hair system I have.  What do you think?”   ~Susan H. 

Susan, thank you for your great question! It is so very important to know what you are putting in your hair and how it affects your hair not just in the short run, but more importantly in the long run!

My five Beautiful Hair products are formulated to be used on both hair systems (including extensions and wigs) as well as on growing hair. When I designed these products I worked with a manufacturer to put together the highest quality product with the best ingredients possible. I did this in order for our hair care system to achieve the three greatest wants of my guests.

  1. To get the most natural look out of their hair and hair system
  2. To have the hair system last as long as possible and stay in the best possible condition.
  3. To be able to have our guests get the results we achieve in our salon – at home, on their own.
