Joseph Kellner Tips for Dry Hair

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

If you’ve lightened, dyed, straightened or permed your hair, or even if you blow it dry regularly, it can become dry and brittle. Over-processed hair can suffer from split ends and damage to the cuticle, which makes it break easily and appear dull. To heal and protect your hair, try these simple techniques that can help it regain its luster and length.

Be Gentle

The best thing you can do for overprocessed hair is to cut back on harsh treatments. Joseph Kellner’s soon to be published book to healthy hair recommends that you avoid hot styling tools. “All that combing, blow-drying, and straightening can take their toll on your hair.”  You should avoid coloring, perms and chemical treatments, and even protect your hair from the sun, until it regains its health. I highly recommend Kalea Rose Passion Treatments mixed also with  Kalea Rose Argenia Oil for weekly home hair care treatments.

Use a Mild Shampoo

Shampoo twice a week. Joseph recommends using products that contain moisturizing ingredients. A gentle shampoo such as La Rose sulfate free shampoo will help your hair retain the natural oil it needs to keep from drying out. When shampooing, avoid “overscrubbing.” And  you should apply conditioner to the ends of your hair before you shampoo, so they are better protected and easier to work the product throughout the hair. This will help eliminate breakage from over shampooing!

Condition and Oil

“Condition, condition, condition,” Joseph Kellner advises. Even on days when you don’t shampoo, rinse your hair and apply conditioner, or use a leave-in formula such as Kalea Rose Revive leave-in conditioner. But realize that your hair can absorb only a limited amount of conditioner. Using a large amount is not necessary. On a weekly basis, I recommend a mixture of Kalea Rose Passion conditioner and Argania oil as a home hair care treatment.  Warm it up, massage it into your hair and scalp, and let sit at least half an hour to replenish your hair’s shine. You can also use Argania oil for blow drying!

Get a Trim

A haircut can help your hair’s overall health. While you wait for the damaged area to grow out, keep your ends trimmed to reduce your chance of split ends. Split ends occur when your hair cuticle becomes damaged, and they can travel up the strand to give you frizzy hair.

Best Hair Color for Green Eyes

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

 

Finding the right hair color for green eyes is not just about picking up the next hair color box that you find in a drugstore. There are many elements that you need to consider when choosing the right hair color. Your analysis should be based on your skin tone, the color of your eyes and the actual or rather existing color of your hair. For understanding the importance of this we first need to find out how colors work. Hair color as we see it is actually the reflection of light of the colored pigments in the hair shaft. No wonder hair that is colored looks different under fluorescent light and normal sunlight. Here is a review of the hair coloring ideas and the best hair color for green eyes.

Along with the color of your eyes, it is your skin tone that is the most important factor for determining the perfect hair color. Those with a yellow or golden skin undertone have a warm skin tone or what is often referred to as the “peaches and cream” complexion. The ones with the pink and blue skin undertones fall into the cool skin tone. So the hair color that suits a woman with fair, pinkish skin and green eyes might look totally uncharacteristic and “washed out” on a woman with olive skin tone and green eyes.
Green Eyes and Olive Skin: The best hair color for green eyes and olive skin or rather ones with warmer undertones are caramel and bronze in a darker shade than your skin. Avoid the brassy blondes or any of the lighter shades of blondes as they can make you look totally washed out. Plum and burgundy highlights, brown, dark brown and black are the best hair colors for green eyes and olive skin.

Green Eyes and Tanned Skin: Deeper chocolate browns, champagne, beige and the lighter browns are the best hair color for green eyes and tan skin.

Green Eyes and Fair Skin: Choosing the best hair color for green eyes and fair skin is quite easy. While for the darker skin tones any lighter hair color shade would look totally unnatural, fair skinned women can opt for hair color shades in red, cool browns, black and blonde. Shades of red are absolutely stunning and are probably the best hair color for green eyes fair skin people. Blonde shades or honey blonde highlights can also lighten your look and emphasize your best features. Usually people who had blonde hair as kids make great blondes. Watch out for warm shades gold, auburn or copper which can only end up in highlighting the ruddiness of the skin.

If you still cannot figure out the hair color shades that make your eyes pop, then it is best to take some professional guidance. This is of course any day better than paying three hundred dollars to fix your hair. But then again this is what I specialize in is corrective hair color.
