Salon Winter Tips with Rose Cain.
Rose Cain is a Revlon Professional stylist and salon owner. She is the owner and founder of Tangled Hair and Beauty in Orange which has been operating for over a decade.
Rose shares her salon winter tips with us.
Treatments to offer during winter.
Any type of hydrating mask to help feed the hair is beneficial as the change in climates leads to dryness. My favourite treatments that I will often use for my clients are the Revlon Professional RE/START Hydration Mask or the Eksperience Hydro Nutritive Mask, whilst applying it under a steamer.
To maximise results, add a hot towel or steamer, this is not only enjoyable for the client, but it helps the treatment penetrate further into the cuticle.
Predicted colour trends for the new season?
For the change in season, I predict we will be staying in line with the warmer side of colours. We have just been through the cowboy coppers so I think we will begin to see richer colours, full saturation and high gloss, colours similar to an auburn red.
For the blondes, I believe they will be staying warm with really soft golden tones.
What products/tips you should be sharing with your clients for winter haircare?
Any product that will hydrate the hair is essential as our increased exposure to the harsh elements and heating sucks the moisture out of the hair leading to dehydration and drier strands.
I advise all my clients to commit to home treatments weekly, a nourishing hair mask is a perfect addition to their winter haircare routine.
Another great way to change up your haircare routine in the winter is switching to leave-in conditioners and/or oils, these will help to bring back some of the lost moisture from winter’s dry conditions.
Tips to share with clients for prolonging colour.
Invest in a good quality colour shampoo and conditioner. My recommendation is the Revlon Professional RE/START Colour Protective Micellar Shampoo and Conditioner
Less is best! Wash your hair once or twice a week, the more frequently you wash it the more you will fade the colour. Plus, you will be stripping the hair of its natural hair oils which are vital for hair health, particularly during the winter.
If your colour is quickly fading, I will always recommend Revlon Professional’s Nutri Colour Filters. It is a semi-permanent hair dye that is perfect for in-between treatments, acting as a solution to faded colour or pesky re-growth. Plus, it isn’t like normal hair dye in that it is a treatment that is super nourishing and hydrating for the hair.
Other trends/concerns that occur during the winter.
During the change of seasons and with an increased use of heating, our scalps suffer greatly, becoming prone to flakiness and irritation. In the winter I ensure all my clients are keeping an eye on their scalp and nourishing it with a dedicated scalp care product. One of the ranges I always recommend is the Eksperience Scalp Comfort Range, if they do start to notice a dry scalp then using the RE/START Balance AntiDandruff Micellar Shampoo is a great solution and is very gentle on colour too.
