FHI Heat Texture Smooth System
For wavy-haired girls, straightening can take forever. FHI has introduced a six-step system to help make your client’s hair sleek and straight.
The FHI Heat Texture Smooth System starts with a deep cleansing shampoo followed by a silicone free conditioner, which helps with common porosity, a problem with buildup from straightening. Once the hair is clean, follow with FHI Heat Texture Smooth Permanent Cream, which should be applied no closer than one inch from the scalp, checking every five minutes for desired texture (either just flattening out kinks or extreme straightening). Of course after the permanent cream, hair needs to be rinsed with the sulfate free shampoo to stop the straightening process. Step five involves the heat hot sauce (which has fun packaging looking just like food hot sauce!) that basically prepares the follicle for a straightening iron. Finally the last step is the leave-in neutralizer, to be used after the hair dries and styled, to achieve a final straightened look. FHI recommends a final swipe of a straightening iron to reinforce the hair.

exotically pretty
OPI is known for producing some of the best nail polishes and lipsticks out there. Not only do they have rich colours in tons of shades, the name of each product is catchy and Suzi-Weiss Fischmann travels around the world looking for inspiration and this collection was inspired by her adventures in India. For spring and summer 2008, the India collection by OPI will tantalize your clients with high energy and a variety of bright fun colours. Try pale opal, Get Me to the Taj on Time, for a quiet summer night, or a high impact Keys to My Karma, in a bold red to get the heat going before the temperatures rise.

youth connection
The fight against wrinkles has new non-surgical weapons.
The environment, lifestyle and natural aging process adversely influence the skin. With the progression of time, fibroblast activity decreases affecting skin’s strength and elasticity. Cell regeneration and tissue repair slow down and that’s when lines and wrinkles start to develop. Today, women and men can take advantage of non-invasive youth treatments.
