Joseph Kellner Tips for Dry Hair

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.

Organic and Natural Hair Care Advice From Joseph Kellner in Orlando Florida 32836

 

A billion-dollar hair care industry has been built on the simple fact that we all have bad hair days. After all, there are few things more frustrating than trying to tame your poof (or bring it back to life) while you are running out the door. Sometimes you just feel like giving up. (Hair scarves and up-‘dos anyone?) Bottom line: A great hair care product is worth its weight in gold.

 
But if you’ve used conventional products for years, what you probably don’t realize is that along with holding your ‘do and taming your tresses, you are inhaling phthalates, artificial fragrances, aerosols and other possibly harmful chemicals. (Brazilian blowoutshave made news of late for potentially hazardous levels of formaldehyde.) Especially if you use hair care products every day, getting those chemicals out of your life is a good precaution. (Bonus: it keeps them out of the environment, too.) Think about switching those that you use more commonly out first.

If you’ve never used natural hair care products before, don’t be afraid of the ingredients lists in these concoctions; just because they contain oils and natural butters doesn’t mean that they will make your hair oily or weigh it down; in fact natural oils can be good for the health of the scalp, and actually prevent dry or oily scalps and fend off dandruff.  Joseph Kellner recommends avoiding the following!

> Parabens (methyl-, propyl-, butyl-paraben, etc.)
> Sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate (SLS or SLES)
> Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly)
> Propylene glycol
> Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethalnolamine (TEA)
> Imidazoldinyl, urea and diazolidinyl urea
> Silicone
> Ethoxylated ingredients (those starting with PEG- or ending with –ETH)

If you have products in your cabinet and you’re wondering about the safety of their ingredients, check out the Skin Deep Cosmetics Safety Database, which allows you to search for many products, as well as specific ingredients to learn about scientific test results, and how safe the Environmental Working Group considers them; while the beauty industry uses chemicals according to federal guidelines and laws, watchdogs believe those laws are outdated and inadequate.
