The world of curly hair is complex and wide. There are different types of curly hair, but the key words are HYDRATION and NUTRITION. Only a specific product line that has been developed and designed for this kind of hair can fully satisfy its needs.

After Insight ELASTI-CURL, finally INSIGHT ELASTI-CURL TEXTURED will make its way onto the international market: a capsule collection dedicated to the most coily and textured hair, with formulas designed for and specific to the needs of type 4 curly hair (coily or kinky).

COILY HAIR (TYPE 4)

This curly hair pattern is often also called “afro-textured” or “tight spiral”, and it is characterized by an extremely dense pattern, high porosity, and fragility; qualities that make this kind of hair particularly prone to breaking if not treated accordingly. The curl can vary, ranging from tight to very tight, becoming increasingly defined as the curvature varies.

THE ELASTI-CURL TEXTURED PRODUCTS

Considering the characteristics of type 4 curls hair (coily or kinky), Insight Professional created ELASTI-CURL TEXTURED products, that can be used along with the ELASTI-CURL ones.
 

LEAVE-IN DETANGLING HAIR MILK
A lightweight texture fluid that hydrates and detangles hair, promoting healthy and tamed curls.
 

LIGHT HOLD FIXATIVE HAIR SPRAY
A light fixing spray, that helps protect the curls from environmental humidity while adding hydration.
 

ILLUMINATING HAIR OIL-SERUM
An oil-serum made with a high percentage of natural ingredients, with a nourishing and emollient action that revitalizes the hair, restoring shine and elasticity.
 

CURLY HAIR DETANGLING MASK
UA mask for detangling curly hair, with an easy-to-apply texture, and an anti-frizz and conditioning action.
 

FUNCTIONAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Every product of the ELASTI-CURL and ELASTI-CURL TEXTURED lines is enriched with three naturally derived oils, selected for their nourishing and elasticizing properties:
 

ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is one of the most loved natural hair care oils, especially for those in need of an extra level of hydration. It is rich in saturated fats, that have a nourishing, soothing, and repairing action on the hair. Coconut oil restores the right level of hydration to curly hair, giving curly hair shininess and smoothness and contrasting the frizz effect.


CHIA AND SACHA INCHI SEEDS’ OIL (BLEND)
This oil blend restores elasticity and shininess to the hair, thanks to the high concentration of tocopherol and fatty acids. Chia seeds’ oil antioxidant properties, in synergy with the nourishing action of Sancha Inchi’s oil, protect curly hair from external aggression and helps it retain water.

Heat protection is so important for everyday hair care! But do we really understand why? Well, you can find out why here!

What happens if we don’t use heat protection?

After you have freshly coloured your hair the last thing you want to do is immediately strip it of colour; this is what happens when you don’t use protection! The heat strips natural and artificial colour pigments in the hair. The heat also breaks down the natural keratin protein that gives hair strength and elasticity.

By adding heat protection you are adding a protective barrier to the hair from the heated tool; you’re also locking in moisture and helping to prevent frizz. These wonder products also help to keep the hair cuticle smooth, which in turn, creates hair that looks shinier, and feels silky soft to touch.

The very best heat protection products contain the ingredients:

Humectants eg; panthenol and propylene glycol- These work by preserving the moisture and blocking the frizz!

Amino acids, strengthen the hair and are packed with antioxidants

Natural oils and extracts such as aloe, which protect and seal the hair cuticle

Some heat protectors use silicones such as dimethicone and cyclomethicone, these are not water-soluble and leave a film over the hair; weighing it down, and potentially stopping the hair from receiving moisture, air, and nutrients! There is much debate about the subject! We asked our customers who agreed they always choose water-soluble heat protection on their clients and theirselves!

Insight Professional Heat Protection Shield is professionally approved and does not contain any of the nasties above.

How to use Insight heat protection shield:

Use on either dry or damp hair. Before you blow dry, or use heat tools, give the hair a spray so you lock in all the moisture, add protection, and leave your client’s hair feeling soft and fresh!

How do you find the best heat protector for your client’s hair?

Finding the best heat defence for your client’s hair is really important as using the wrong one will end up weighing the hair down and in turn ruining the end results!

To find out which heat protector is the best you need to determine

1. What is your client’s hair type? For example, serums will not work for client’s with fine hair.
2. What ingredients are in the spray? Look for high-quality and nourishing ingredients, including natural oils and extracts.
3. Is the product easily attainable for your client? Remember it’s not always easy for clients to buy professional products. Can you provide the products you recommend?

Insight’s Heat Protection Shield is suitable for ALL hair types, will not weigh hair down and if filled with the very best natural ingredients. Our little wonder product is also easily attainable via an insight salon, your salon’s website/Instagram shop OR online.

What to do if your client’s hair is damaged ‘beyond repair’?

Bare in mind that heat protection spray doesn’t completely stop heat damage so it is important to fill your client’s in with ways to keep their hair healthy (like using a mask once a week and not using heat tools too often).

If your client’s come in and their hair feels straw like, or is breaking when you touch it, they may be dealing with heat damage! There are ways to save this which you can do during the appointment and give them as after care to get the hair back to its natural state!

Start by using a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any product that has built up on the hair, and follow that with a deep conditioner or a hair mask. We recommend the Insight Damaged Hair Mask. Pick out a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner for everyday use. We recommend the Insight Daily Use shampoo and conditioner, which is sulphate-free, cruelty-free and vegan ok!

Add a leave-in conditioner which will keep their hair protected from the elements and help to restore your client’s hair. Lastly, make sure they are getting regular trims, taking off the dead ends will promote healthy hair and keep it from breaking at the ends. And OBVIOUSLY, tell them to lay off the heat while their hair is repairing!

If you have any other tips and tricks on how to keep your client’s hair healthy let us know on by sending a dm on Instagram!

Want to know the perfect body routine for the winter? Consistency really makes all the difference! Get toned and even skin with us now….

We all know good habits make a difference! Yet, we often lose interest in a regime when we don’t see immediate results. But, as with all things, patience and consistency always pay off, especially when it comes to body care.

A regular body routine, using the right products will sine in just a few weeks: the skin on the body will appear more toned, hydrated and firm, especially during the winter months, when dehydration and dryness are prevalent.

We’ve devised a simple step by step to healthy, toned and even skin. Let’s go through the steps together!

Step 1: Exfoliation

Whether it’s a scrub, a peel or a brush, the goal is always the same: exfoliate. If you’re a complete novice to skin care, exfoliation is the act of removing dead skin cells that are sitting on the skins surface. Regular exfoliation makes room for new, healthy cells, and stimulates collagen; improving skin’s texture, skin tone, integrity, and keep the skin plump, tight and young. Also, dead skin cells reduce the effects of skincare due to reduced absorption and penetration. For more information on techniques and importance, read our recent exfoliation article.

Step 2: Cleanse Cleanse Cleanse

After exfoliating, it’s time for a nice invigorating shower or bath. Choose an effective but gentle cleanser, and preferably opt for lukewarm water. We advise you limit baths, as the hotter water can weaken the skin barrier, and they’re also less environmentally friendly. However, we won’t tell you to eliminate them completely as they can do wonders for relaxation, and mental health.

Back to the ideal cleanser; you want a formula that leaves the skin clean and hydrated, with a formula high in natural ingredients, with no nasties. Our Body Cleanser ticks all the boxes! It’s even Cosmos certified; guaranteeing environmentally friendly production and processes respecting also human health.

A final note; it’s a cleanser you can use all year round! Skin care enthusiasts will tell you they switch products with he seasons, and maybe even with their mood. But, with our product, it will satisfy and nourish summer skin, winter skin, and all times between, due to its light and gentle, yet deeply hydrating formula.

Next Stop: Hydration Station (Step 3)

Moisturising skin after a shower is crucial to keeping it supple, healthy, toned and even. Choose a moisturising cream or lotion, depending on your needs or preferences. If your skin feels particularly dry and tight after showering, it means it needs a little extra nourishment. In this case, one of our Insight users have suggested their top tip.

* Mix Insight Nourishing Body Cream with a few drops of Insight Body Oil and you will be soft, smooth and glowy all day. It’s my favourite winter skin hack or for days I just need a little MORE *

Whichever your product of choice, step 3 is a non negotiable! If you skip this step you’re sure to be in the unfortunate category of premature skin ageing *yikes.*

Extra pampering for dry areas

The skin of elbows, knees, feet, and lips needs more nourishment than the rest of the body. They are notoriously drier areas and subjected to more friction, so it’s a good habit to dedicate an extra care to them. To do this you can choose a nourishing body butter, an oil, or a balm with hydrating and protective properties.

These few steps, as simple and straight forward as they sound, will change your skin when repeated consistently. Your toned and even skin will thank you after a month or so of dedicated work.

Let us know your favourite skin tips or if you’ve tried our step by step! Did you see an improvement? Did you get that even skin tone you’ve always strived for? Are you seeing more toned skin?

We’ve only gone and done it again! We’re in the press! This time, for a relatively new product; our Volumizing range‘s Volume Up Root Lotion.

It’s not too surprising that this particular magazine has given our Our Volume Up Root Lotion the credit it so so deserves! This product is a barbers dream! Short hair is given instant lift and oomph, perfect for a barber to shape and mould hair into the ultimate do.

But, let’s not let barbers have all the fun; our Volume Up Root Lift transforms any hair length, giving it an instant root boost without any sticky residue. If your hair is flat or fine, add this wondrous spray to your routine!

If you’d like to find out more about our Root Lotion, have a read of this.

Full and voluminous hair has always been an object of desires of many, and with INSIGHT it is a more than achievable goal. The Volumizing line is blessed to possess Volume Up Root Lotion , designed to add volume to the roots, creating dimension and body, that lasts all day. 

After a few months of development and research, the Volume Up Root Lotion & nbsp; was born! During the design phase of this product, we were looking for the right mix of ingredients, for the perfect balance: we wanted to create a light spray, suitable for use on fine hair without weighing it down . An undertaking that is far from obvious, since thin hair is generally the one that most requires the action of volumizing products, but at the same time it is those that tend to get dirty more quickly . The result of our numerous experiments is the Roots Volumizing Lotion, a product capable of adding volume in seconds, giving the effect of a naturally full hair, without leaving residues. 

Turn the volume up to the max!

A fast-drying formula with a water consistency, delivered by a spray precision that allows a localized application, concentrating the product on the roots. As with all Insight products, this lotion also contains various plant ingredients from organic farming , including extracts of ginseng , psyllium and white nettle , with a conditioning and volumizing power that lasts unaltered for several hours. 

How do you get the most out of our Volumizing Lotion? Follow the advice of Insight hairstylists. 

• It is advisable to start with slightly damp hair and freshly washed. 
• Let’s divide the hair into sections, helping us with clips. 
• We dispense the product by approaching the root of the hair, the goal is to apply the lotion only in the area closest to the scalp, to concentrate the volume effect only where we want it. 
• After distributing the lotion, do a quick finger massage to spread it evenly over the roots. 
• Proceed with the usual styling.

To amplify its effect, combine the Roots Volumizing Lotion with the others products from the Volumizing line : you will get an impeccable result, a long-lasting volume.

To achieve twice as many uses compared to the same amount in liquid form

When we hear anti-ageing, we automatically think of our skin. We spend copious amounts on skincare, to boost our college, fill fine lines, and shrink our pores, but what do we do for our hair?

Our hair changes with age, this may be in colour, texture, volume or growth rate. While this is inevitably unavoidable, there are many things you can do to slow down the process, and reclaim your youthful lock look.

Our fabulous UK ambassador, award winning hairdresser, and global educator Carolyn Newman shares her secrets and top anti-ageing hair tips.

Colour for ageing hair

“In terms of colour, I would always suggest a shade or two lighter if you want to take away the years. Most women will suit a lighter shade as they mature. Extremely dark hair and block colour can be too harsh on older skin tones and much more ageing. I’d recommend multi-tonal colour with highlights around the face which can help blend the greys to create a much softer look rather and take years off in an instant.”

The perfect cut

“When it comes to the haircut and styling; aim for a softer more textured cut which can lift the face and create body to give a more youthful look.  There is a common misconception that mature clients should always opt for a shorter hair, but I believe it’s about feeling confident and attractive and if that means having long hair then don’t opt for a chop!” 

Products, products, products

“With a good cut, fabulous colour, good condition, and the right tools long hair can be perfectly manageable and beautiful. It is imperative to invest in quality, anti-ageing products to keep hair looking younger, healthier, and more manageable for their day to day styling. Insight is an amazing range of natural, vegan hair care that is perfect for hair that needs a youthful glow.”

“As it gets older, hair goes through notable changes from thinning, changes in texture and becoming dryer, so it’s essential to maintain the hair’s moisture using hydrating shampoo and conditioners. I recommend the Insight Dry Hair range.” 

Having your hair coloured is such a wonderful treat, you leave the salon confident, fresh and with a beaming smile! But, what about the days, weeks, months after? Not many consider the maintenance needed to keep that salon fresh colour vibrant and full of life.  It’s no surprise that many of us mention at our next salon visit that our colour faded after just a few washes. Here’s what we could be doing wrong at home and how to prolong hair colour…

How Hair Colour Works

AVOID HEAT WHERE POSSIBLE

Colour and heat are not friends! Coloured hair tends to be dryer than natural hair, and more prone to damage; adding heat makes it even more fragile and susceptible to colour fading. Heat drains colour molecules from the hair as it opens up the cuticles. It’s hard to avoid completely, but we suggest lowering heat settings on styling equipment and in the shower! A cool to cold rinse after washing hair closes the cuticle to prolong hair colour.

CHOOSE PRODUCTS WITH UV AND HEAT PROTECTION

Hair colour, and hair health deteriorates due to heat and UV; as we discussed above. Protect your hair, and prolong hair colour using simple styling products such as Insight’s Heat Defence Spray for heated styling and Protective Hair Spray for UV exposure. Both protect from aggressors and nourish hair at the same time!

USE COLOR PROLONGING MASKS

Coloured hair needs more TLC than non coloured. A natural colour extending mask can make the world of difference to prolong hair colour. Try our Protective Mask; It protects the hair fiber from external aggressions, enhances the brightness and vibrancy of colour, and deeply nourishes with Organic Macadamia Oil.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

We’ve looked at external aggressors like heat and environmental factors wreaking havoc on our colour, but what about internal aggressors? Our health plays a large part of our hair journey, coloured or not. Vitamins are essential for healthy hair that holds colour and bursts with life. Eating a balanced diet rich in iron, zinc, B Vitamins, vitamin C and D will stand you in good stead for healthy hair that prolongs colour.

We’re bombarded everyday with adverts about products and their promises, but do they really stack up? Let’s take a look at colour saving haircare and whether it’s worth straying from our everyday shampoo.

What is colour saving haircare?

Colour saving haircare is specifically formulated to keep coloured hair from dulling and fading, whilst preserving and nourishing hair that may have been compromised in the colouring process. Our coloured hair range is designed in just this way, it prolongs and protects colour, adds shine, nourishes deeply, and leaves hair healthier than ever. This is possible due to milder, and scientifically chosen ingredients that have colour enriching properties, and cuticle filling molecules.

Extracts in our Coloured Hair Range include:

Organic Macadamia Oil : Nourishing, Protective.

Color Protection Complex (Henna Extract, Mango Butter, Grape Seed Oil).

Can you use colour saving haircare on non-coloured hair?

Absolutely! But, then again why would you want to? It’s always a good idea to choose products based on your own hair needs. If your hair is frizzy for instance, use an anti-frizz shampoo, and the same goes for dry hair, damaged hair , blonde hair, and so on. If you do find yourself, perhaps in a friends shower with no other options, colour saving haircare will do no harm to your non-coloured hair. In fact, it will be greatly nourishing and replenishing .

Can you use regular shampoo on coloured hair?

Let’s take a look at things the other way round. If everybody in the world used Insight professional haircare, there would be less colour fading, and lots of happier people with coloured hair around! Our shampoos and conditioners are formulated SLS and SLES free; these are prime strippers of hair colour in other brands. If you want to find out more about SLS and SLES, click here. Standard shampoos from a drugstore or your local supermarket will strip your colour fast and furiously. So, if using non colour specific products on coloured hair make sure you chose products as natural as possible, without harsh ingredients. If you happen to be in a situation where this is unavoidable, get a colour saving mask on your hair as soon as you can.

What ingredients should I avoid when I have coloured hair?

As mentioned above, SLS and SLES are the most common colour stripping ingredients, they’re referred to as sulphates or surfactants. Along with diminished colour, you’ll find these also strip your hair of shine and life. Let’s look at the science; for longevity of colour, hair cuticles must remain closed. Sulphates, such as sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, and sodium lauryl sulfate, disrupt the cuticles, opening them up, and allowing colour molecules to escape. Essentially, your colour can be stripped in as little as 3/4 washes when using products with these ingredients.

How long will colouring saving haircare extend my colour?

Colour Saving Haircare: Does it really make a difference?

When choosing the right products with the ingredients to effectively make a difference, YES, colour saving haircare can make a world of difference for your colour. However, there may be many things you are doing dat to day that contribute to your hair colour fading despite using the best possible  haircare.
