Professional hair care products are specially formulated to penetrate deep into your hair fibers, strengthening them from within. Furthermore, these products help prevent heat styling tool damage while keeping your locks hydrated for an extended period of time.
At Boucleme, many of our hair care products are formulated from natural and organic ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals like sulfates and drying alcohols, making them gentle on both your hair and scalp.
Shampoos & Conditioners
Shampoos are liquid or solution hair care products used to cleanse away sebum, dirt, sweat, dead skin debris and product buildup from both the scalp and hair. Shampoos typically contain surfactants like sodium lauryl or sodium laureth sulfate as well as thickeners, preservatives, colorants and fragrances for effective cleansing action.
Shampoos come with various formulations designed to fulfill specific purposes. For instance, volumizing shampoos aim to give fine or limp strands body and lift while anti-dandruff formulas contain active ingredients like zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole that work to combat dandruff.
Many shampoos also contain aesthetic ingredients that don’t interfere with their effectiveness in cleansing your scalp and strands, but make washing your hair more pleasurable or appealing. Examples include pearlized particles that add subtle shimmer or perfumes that scent both product and hair; while others contain protectants that shield strands against heat damage from blow-dryers or other styling tools.
Styling Products
Washday products address your hair’s specific needs (moisture, protein or frizz control), while styling products focus more on what look you are going for – volume, body and texture may be desired while other times, definition curl clumping or hold may be what you require.
Styling products can help you achieve any look, such as smoothing strands with serums and creams or creating hard to soft hold with styling creams. In addition, many styling products can add shine to finished styles.
Product cocktailing can help you meet your particular hair care goals. Professional stylists and experienced consumers alike use this technique to achieve maximum results; for instance, mixing leave-in conditioner or detangler with volumizing cream could create that just-out-of-the-barbershop look.
Dry Shampoos
Dry shampoo is a product designed to give your roots a boost by absorbing oil, eliminating odor and rejuvenating roots without using water. Perfect for touch ups after an intense workout session or keeping hair looking fresh between washes, dry shampoo can refresh without the hassle of having to rinse regularly with shampoo!
Starches found in typical dry shampoos can leave behind a gritty texture and buildup on both scalp and hair, causing build-up as well as drying out your scalp with repeated use, leading to dryness, itchiness, or worse yet flaking. Regular usage could strip it of its natural oils leading to flaking or itchiness of scalp or hair follicles causing dryness or itchiness in sensitive scalps.
Batiste advanced dry shampoos are unique because they contain shampoo-grade ingredients to effectively cleanse your scalp and lift oil, eliminating clumps, gritty textures and white residue typically seen with other brands. Try one today for a fast solution that leaves your locks feeling and smelling like they just stepped out of a salon!
Hair Serums
Hair serums are leave-in products designed to smooth, increase shine and protect from humidity or heat damage to the tresses. Ingredients such as Vitamin E, Squalane, Argan & Marula oils may provide essential hydration and smoothing effects.
These products are specifically tailored to be lightweight enough for daily use and work on all hair types. People with fine locks might benefit from selecting products infused with lightweight oils for shine without adding weight to the strands.
Hair serums, unlike hair oil, should be applied to damp hair in order to avoid product build-up at the roots. A quick warm up with hands or wide-tooth comb may help distribute product evenly; overdoing it and applying directly onto scalp may make the appearance greasy.
Heat Protectants
Heat protectants serve to create a barrier between hot styling tools and your hair that helps minimize damage. They come in spray or cream form and with different formulas designed to meet specific hair needs; those with fine locks may prefer something lightweight without too much weight, while thicker or curlier locks may need something richer with extra nourishment.
Ingredients like PVP/DMAPA acrylates copolymer, quaternium-70 and hydrolyzed wheat protein have been independently evaluated and demonstrated their ability to form thin films on hair surfaces that slow heat conduction while evenly dispersing it; this helps lessen shock to both cuticle proteins and keratin proteins and thus reducing shock damage to your cuticle layer and keratin proteins as well as frizz control and creating smooth cuticle finishes after styling.
