A: There are many things to consider:
hair texture, face shape, lifestyle, suitability, and the
overall desired end result, whether it is realistic and achievable.
We have to turn on our seventh sense. A stylist, has to be
in-tune to all of that. You must gather information and arrive
at something that is suitable for the client. What's beautiful
to one person may not be beautiful to another so before diving
in, evaluate.
Q: If I was stranded and I could only choose
four products, what would they be?
A: One would be to cleanse and condition the hair and give you flexibility, condition and moisture, my option would be Silk Result by Joico. The driest most dullest, beat up hair transforms into radiant beautiful hair.
No matter what style, length of hair or texture, I would use a
good foundational product, in other words, I can straighten, curl
or add body to the hair, this would be I.C.E. Whip by Joico. You
can curl the hair, dry the hair giving it pliability and manipulate
the hair, yet it still feels soft without weight, without dulling
and without stickiness.
My third product would be to add more shine - that would be K-Pak Protect & Shine Serum by Joico. Lightweight, clean, pure with natural shine. It is workable on any hair texture, length and any style.
Finally, a finishing spray, workable spray - this would be K-Pak
Protective Hair Spray by Joico. It's brushable. You can spray it
directly on the hair. Spray it on your hands and work into the hair.
It's the ultra-modern, lightweight hair spray, perfect for setting
any style.
Q: When I want to change the hair texture,
appearance, feel of the hair, to create very defined looks what
products would I choose?
A: The I-C-E Hair Line provides different looks - separation, matte finish, and if you want superior hold than the I-C-E Hair line is where its at. My favorites in the ICE line are:
. Distortion, which is a styling gum - great for adding texture,
definition without a waxy flat feel.
. Spiker Blast - if I want to get the hair to defy gravity,
even the thickest heaviest hair will lift away from the head.
. Reactor - the unique product that turns into many different
creations by shaping, it morphs with the hair.
It's the finish, the end result that the ICE products are perfect for.
I love the finishes that I can get with ICE - hard, matte, semi -shiny. It's about extreme and about the individual creative expression of the hairdresser and the client.
