ICY BLONDE HAIR IN SALON

Heather from Heather White Salon Says:

‘The Blonde Cold Reflections Shampoo and Mask were a bit scary to start with as the pigment is a deep blue, but WOW, does it deliver. Amazing for pre-toning and when you want to cool down a head of highlights’

ICY BLONDE AT HOME

Customer comment:

“I love an icy blonde finish but it’s so hard to maintain, I’ve used all kinds of purple shampoos but none have really hit the mark until I tried Cold Reflections! It was as if my hair had been freshly toned! I cleanse my hair with the Damaged range and then towel dry before using Cold Reflections; I find my hair really takes to the product if it’s less wet. I leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes and then lather and rinse. I then towel dry again and apply the mask for 10/15 minutes. Voila, my hair is icy, soft and shiny!”

Nourishing, detangling, moisturizing and more! Let’s discover the infinite properties of Illipe butter and why we use it as one of our Insight Professional ingredients.

Illipe butter originates from Malaysia; Borneo . Many native to Borneo will know Illipe butter by the name tallow. To obtain this wondrous Insight Professional ingredient, seeds from the Shorea Stenoptera plant (belonging to the Dipterocarpacee family) are cold pressed, creating a thick butter. This butter  is an excellent base for many cosmetic products, such as face and body creams, conditioners and hair masks, due to its elasticising, nourishing and protective properties.  

We all LOVE summer and we all love the sun, but summer is often cruel and harsh on hair! But, with a little pre-prep, we can prepare hair for summer and keep it as healthy and hydrated as possible! If you’re interested in strong, beautiful, shiny hair let’s speed this along as summer is coming in HOT… (with NEW products included!)

1. Color Refresh

We all want stunning summer photos to post online and send to friends. Fresh colour boosts confidence, and looks camera ready for that beach photoshoot! Colour should always be administered by a professional, please avoid box-dying hair (particularly before exposure to summer) as box dyes are known to contain nasty chemicals that damage hair. Colour tip: If you don’t like your hair too bright, go a shade darker in the salon as the sun will lighten a colour service.

2. Vitamin Sea Please

A balanced diet is crucial for hair health, but it’s pretty hard to hit those vitamin goals consistently, day after day. Plus, not all of our bodies are power machines that can absorb and create all that’s needed. Adding a supplement such as a multivitamin can be the missing piece of the summer hair puzzle! Top vitamins to prepare hair for summer, and general hair health: Biotin, Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc. Start your vitamin boost early for max results! **It is always best to consult a doctor before drastically changing vitamin intake due to your own personal circumstances/health.**

4. Deal With Damage

Another trick to prepare hair for summer is to reverse current damage! Treat hair with INSIGHT Rebuild, our wonder treatment rebuilds hair fibres and seals ends after just a single use! If you’re a salon and would like to offer Rebuild as a treatment please get in touch, we can offer full training.

5. UV Protection

It’s not just our skin that needs UV protection! The sun has major drying effects on our hair, and although we don’t see or feel the damage right away, it’s happening right under our freckling noses. Shield strands this summer with UV protection from our ANTIOXIDANT Range; carry our HYDRA-REFRESH hair and body water around with you on those hot days!

6. Less Heat!

It’s no surprise that using heated tools can damage your hair so why not leave your hair alone this summer with our NEW Texturizing Sea Salt Spray! Functional Additives include: Sea Salt and Organic Aloe Vera to add moisture to your hair while giving you the beach babe look all year round!

7. Fresh Trim

Freshly-trimmed ends will ensure hair is in the best condition to handle whatever summer throws at us! Chop, chop, time is running out!

8. Go Sun-kissed 

Nobody has time for touch-ups in summer! Low-maintenance, lived in colours work great when all your want to worry about is fun in the sun! Ask your Insight Salon for a balayage, root smudge over highlights, or root stretch ombre; all will see you through the season.

9. Protein Load

We all know our diet has a major effect on our hair health! Foods high in protein are packed with hair-loving nutrients! If there’s one time to load up or double that dose, its pre-summer!

10. Go Natural 

Many of us can achieve natural highlights with sun exposure alone! If you’re in this lucky club, skip the hair colouring altogether this year and focus on a natural sun-kiss! You can braid your hair to balayage believe it or not! Have you ever wondered why so many people plait their hair on holiday? They’re exposing different sections of hair to the sun for natural lightening; the result is a beautifully natural beach balayage look.  

11. Go Deep

If there’s one thing needed to prepare hair for summer, it’s HYDRATION! A deep conditioner that works for your hair type is a must! We suggest Insight Professional ANTI-OXIDANT RANGE, DAMAGED HAIR RANGE, & Our SUMMER HOLIDAY HAIR KIT.

12.  Protect your skin and hair!

The sun doesn’t just damage your hair, it also plays havoc with your skin, we have already mentioned the use of UV protection in the sun is an absolute MUST for your hair and for your skin, so now we need you to look after it when you get back home! We recommend the NEW Summer Experience Nourishing Body & Hair Butter to keep your hair and body nourished and moisturised in the summer months!

If you’re not using a serum, your hair is not finished!

What is a hair serum?

Hair serums are liquid based styling products that coat your hair’s surface. They provide a protective layer over hair fibres that assist in smoothing frizz, adding shine, reflecting light and protecting against humidity. Hair serums don’t heal damage, but they can nourish hair and help retain moisture depending on their ingredients. Liquid Crystals  hair serum does just that, and more!

What is an organic hair serum?

  An organic hair serum is simply, the same as above with the added benefit of organic ingredients. Organic ingredients are without pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilisers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other additives or chemicals.

What are the benefits of a hair serum?

The benefits list goes on and on!

Controls frizz

When your hair is on the weaker, damaged side, it can look dry and frizzy. Hair serums can control this issue and have your hair looking sleek and moisturised after immediate use. Essentially, the serum adds enough weight to weak strands to give substance, but not too much that strands are heavy and greasy. A hair serum is 100% essential for curly hair to ensure your natural curl pattern is locked in for the day. To read about curly hair care click here. 

Extreme smoothing

The previously mentioned anti-frizz effects of hair serum also provide a smoothing effect. Think of the light reflecting, mirror shine you see in magazines and on the red carpet. This look is not reserved exclusively to celebrities, it’s just waiting in a hair serum.

Enhances your hair pattern

Your hair type is determined by the shape of your hair follicle, which may be:

• straight
• wavy
• curly

You may already know which hair pattern you have, if you aren’t sure, this may help you decide. For straight hair, serums enhance shine and smoothness, giving a glossy mirror look, whereas curly guys and girls can benefit from bounce creation and curl definition.

No more tangles

Knots and tangles are a thing of the past when using a serum, hair is so silky and smooth combs glide through effortlessly.

Anti damage

While a serum cannot reverse damage, it can certainly protect against any further damage to your hair, including:

• Damage from heat (Heated drying/styling)
• Chemical processing (Colouring, perming etc)
• Environmental aggressors (UV, pollution)
• Mechanical aggressors (Brushing, styling)

How to use Liquid Crystals organic hair serum:

Although seemingly straight forward, there is a correct way to use a hair serum to get the best possible results. Application according to a professional:

1. Start with clean, damp hair
2. Pump 1/2 drops of serum into your hands, let the product liquify for 5/6 seconds and then rub between hands to warm for a further 5-10 seconds
3. Apply to hair, starting with the ends and working up to the mid lengths. Spread the product evenly, avoiding the roots.
4. Use a wide comb to ensure product is distributed through hair evenly.
5. Dry hair as usual, ensure to add a heat defence if your hair serum doesn’t already contain protection
6. Repeat step 2 but with only 1/2 a pump for added shine and smoothness.

 

The tradition of dyeing herbs has a thousand-year history. Since ancient times women and men have colored their bodies and hair using ground plants and roots. Over the centuries these traditions have been mixed with a variety of rituals, each traveling their own way from a different place in the world, and now they have come down to us. Insight has chosen to plant the seed of this ancient history in the present, applying advanced Phyto-technologies to the processing of raw materials, to create safe products with a professional performance. An ancient tradition, rewritten in a modern key.

A natural alternative, professional result.

Insight has worked with dedication to the development of this line, the goal was to bring a real professional alternative to those who want to color their hair in a natural way, without having to give up a professional salon result. Thus, was born Native, a complete line that includes three pure dyeing herbs, two pre-mixed blends, and an entire hair care line to take care of hair after coloring and keep shades intense and vibrant. Let’s see it together.

Native, a primary color palette. But we like to call it primal colors.

The pure herbs in the Native line are three, like the three primary colors: the red of henna, the blue of indigo, and the golden shades of cassia are our palette. By mixing these three shades, you can create endless color variations, from warm brown to the most vibrant black, passing through all shades of blonde.   Along with these three primary shades, Insight has created two pre-mixed blends, a warm blonde and a brown, perfect to use on their own or as a base to customize any color. All herbs are contained in resealable paper bags:

• Henna, 400 g
• Indigo, 400 g
• Cassia, 400 g

The two blends:

• Brown, 400 g
• Blonde, 400 g

All herbs are enriched with organic oils of Mongongo and Cartamo, which combined with the beneficial properties of Ayurvedic herbs, known for thousands of years to many cultures and used in the medicinal tradition, help to strengthen and nourish the hair, making Native a proper strengthening treatment, as well as a coloring product.

A haircare Cosmos Natural certified line

To complement the pigment collection, Native also includes a selection of hair care products designed to maintain the color and health of naturally treated hair. This line is Cosmos Natural certified and includes four products for a complete routine, from cleansing to blow-drying. Reviving Shampoo – 900 ml, 400 ml + Organic red grapevine and green tea extracts + Rice vinegar A shampoo with a reinvigorating and brightening action, ideal to use after coloring treatment, but also for maintaining the dye at home. Reviving Hair Mask – 500 ml, 250 ml + Organic Linseed and Sesame Oils + Rice vinegar Hair mask with detangling and revitalizing properties. It provides nutrition and softness to the hair after dyes. Reviving Hair Fluid – 150 ml  + Organic ginseng and karkadé extracts + Rice vinegar A multifunctional lotion, with a reinvigorating and brightening action. Nourishing Hair Elixir – 100 ml + Organic argan, mongongo, and linseed oils A mixture of natural oils, with a softening and brightening action on the hair. Natural color or professional result? From today, with Native, you can have both! Discover the Native world and be inspired by the rituals of nature.

The INSIGHT FEELINGS  line welcomes two new products: we are happy to finally tell you about the new, all-over Insight fragrances. The inspiration behind these two compositions is simple: we wanted to translate our philosophy, our choices, our “urban nature” within a perfume; Insight bottled. This is how INSIGHT Feelings fragrances were born: two complementary souls, two faces of the same olfactory memory. Come with us on this journey through fragrant notes.

All-over and unisex: choose yours.

The new INSIGHT fragrance ‘s are two different accords with a distinctive flavor but united by the same concept: perfect to use on body and hair, but also on fabrics and ambient.
