Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Perfecting Balm

Excellent product for those salon smooth blow outs. And I would recommend it also for home use.  I like to try out store-bought products and this does the job for salon use and this product has the strength to really give you a salon blow-out. Smooth things out with Hair Expert Smooth Intense Creme. Not only does the treatment add sleekness to every strand of your hair but it also protects leaving your mane less prone to heat styling damage. 

I really like the Straight Perfecting Balm. Most balms that help protect against heat are sticky and leave hair feeling like it has a filmy or thick texture but this balm completely absorbs into hair leaving it smooth and weightless. I love that not only does it help protect against heat it also makes hair easier to style and straighten and helps keep it straight for longer. It perfectly pairs with the other products in the Ultimate Straight Line and I would recommend to any one who straightens hair often or needs extra help to get hair straight.  And also the product has a lovely scent to it. Give it a try. Just take a quarter size amount for medium to long hair. Stay away from the scalp and only apply from mid shaft to ends. Comb through the hair with a wide tooth comb.  Gen at least half of the moisture out of the hair then apply a brush to sectioned hair. Use medium heat for blow drying the hair.  Once a section is dry apply a cool blast from your blow dryer to take away any fly away hairs. I like to use thermal roller brush’s to blow dry the hair. For a more formal look I like to use Boar bristle brush’s.  Once the hair if fully dried apply a small amount of the creme to the tips of your finger and brush through the hair. Iron in curls if necessary for the style you are looking for. And you are finished.  The product was used on the model pictured above and MAC Makeup was also used for her photo-shoot.

How I am learning more about hair color and makeup!

~ Joseph Kellner

This model’s hair was low-lighted with several Goldwell Topchic colors to achieve a dimensional effect. Levels 6 through 7 were used from the Copper Gold and also Brown Gold family’s. The hair was also prelightened with 5 volume lightener. Goldwell Colorance hair color glazes Level 9 Neutral were applied for an even tonal value of the highlighted hair. Goldwell Hair-color was used for this color correction and home hair care was prescribed. Porosity has a lot to do with corrective hair color. I like to play on this condition of the hair to achieve tone. MAC makeup was used for her photo shoot she is a professional model and enjoys the variations of hair color change often. This is a Before & After Model.

Joseph Kellner SalonA lot of it is in the makeup and contouring. A lot of services are done in the salon but the change of makeup is not prescribed to the client. Hair color changes I offer to the client every season, so when the hair color changes so does the makeup and the techniques of applying the product. This I feel is a lost art and a lost art not done given in the salon. Hair color and make up go hand in hand. But also remember this is a model so you have to do the hair color for the camera also the makeup. The effects of light on the skin and hair can dramatically change the tonal value of the hair and makeup also. What helped me in my hair coloring and makeup was to step away from the client and look at the results, get goo light bulbs. Try and save up about $600.00 to $700.00 and get yourselves a good camera and lean how to focus on out-door lighting. You will see you work and it is a great way to critic your self. I love to use Cannon good camera to work with. Then set up a photo shoot with clients take pics of them, then you will get better with your makeup and placement of hair color. That’s how I learned on my own.
