Improve Your Client's Hair Strength and Elasticity
There are 27 different types of naturally occurring collagen in the body. As the hair is part of our body, the loss of collagen is mostly a factor of aging. Once we pass our late 20's our bodies have less collagen. Hair exposed to the natural elements as well as chemical treatments like coloring, bleaching and straightening always could use something to bring it back to life. When I was at America's Beauty Show, one of the product lines I tried out was Rejuvenol. Their Pure Collagen Treatment System left my hair feeling great all day, and even all week long.
