A dry shampoo, kézaco? Composed of plant powders, the dry shampoo absorbs sebum and cleanses the scalp. The idea:space out the (real) shampoos by getting rid of the greasy appearance of the hair. The product is sprayed on the scalp, left on for two minutes until the sebum is absorbed, then brushed

Shampooing • Everything we do (or not):we put on pounds, because the more there are, the more it cleans (according to the Pythamousse theorem). Oh, but?!?! it does not foam enough (well, so?)! We add more! And we rub our heads, oh, yes! We rub and even, we scratch and we put the nails there (we ha

What is it for? The salt spray imitates the effect of seawater on the hair. It texturizes it and gives it thickness by creating a sheath around the fiber. How do I use it? It is used on dry hair (after detangling):the product spreads better (=no clumps) and it is easier to work with. It is spra

Why is red pigment so difficult to remove? It depends on which red we are talking about. The artificial pigment was originally a shimmer that washed out super fast. To avoid that, labs now formulate it as a base (blonde, chestnut… the color that stays), so its super tenacious. As for the red-orang

Will natural hair colors ever compete with their chemical equivalents? It is not possible. The difference between an oxidation formula and a natural product is that the second does not create an oxidation reaction (=the opening of the scales). It therefore cannot change the structure of the hair.

Can you make platinum without damaging your hair? No. To reach platinum, oxidation is pushed to the maximum, until the hair is perfectly white and devoid of melanin, indicates Frédéric Mennetrier. Needless to say that it is an extremely technical gesture that is done by a pro. Who says maximum dis

The next generation of in-salon hair care deeply repairs the fiber and delivers results that last up to six weeks.
