Heavy and/or unproductive hair?
Stop wasting your money on products that may or may not work for you. Here are some inexpensive hair remedies that do work. Now what’s in your kitchen? :)
Make a soda potion (Medium length hair):
1/4 teaspoon baking soda and a teaspoon of shampoo; mix together and apply. If the build-up is heavy, in a spray bottle, add vinegar and spray on top of the soda/shampoo concoction until the froth rises.
My rule when using this formula, when you feel the “prickling” on the scalp, time to rinse. :)
Notice: This “home” formula is excellent for removing medications from the inner shaft and that is important when chemically treating the hair. In other words, build up, be gone!
Gray hair:
Not ready to color your hair but a gray is shining? lol
One, two or more gray hairs driving you batty? Try this, I’ve been doing this on my customers for the longest time.
Take that one gray hair, and rather than pull it out, color it in with a permanent marker, like coloring in a color book. It works wonderful and who’s to say?!
Protein
Protein and the importance of replenishing the hair with protein and especially when chemicals are involved!
Cliff will be posting a tutorial on this subject: HAIR IS PROTEIN.
Did you know that all hair is considered, protein matter? In other words, the chief composition of hair is called Keratin, a dead organic matter.
YouTube video coming soon, come back and let’s talk polypeptides.

One of my favorite mentors of all time was the founder of Redken, Nexxus and Redding: My friend, Mr. Jerry Redding. He was an awesome chemist and hairstylist.
P.P.T-S-77
I wish the buyers of Redken (Loreal) would bring this product back (P.P.T.) or sell the rights. It is/was the best protein compound known to hair/skin! Unfortunately, it was costly, and it was uniquely scented. Many stylists played with Redken in ignorance, or it was overlooked (abused), I’m afraid to say. I miss Phinal Phase (acidic balancer), Aminopon (Peptide’s galore), Climatress (a balanced humectant), Solve (Clarifier), etc. They were the best, they just took more time for all-over involvement. The best! And today’s Redken is all hype and it’s heavy. I like a rendition to P.P.T., and that is the Anti-Snap Extreme2, but again it can interfere with oxidation processes, and it doesn’t play nice with other inert proteins, for example, I experimented with Joico Liquid (K-Pak) Reconstructor and then applied Anti-Snap2 on top and great balls of fire, it started to bead and wax up. Yikes! I had to re-acidify and shampoo from the start. Lol
