Mizani introduces the new Strength Fusion Post Chemical Rescue Service, its first professional, in-salon back-bar strengthening service. This system progressively strengthens and repairs overprocessed, color-treated and transitioning hair prone to damage, leaving hair that is supple, fortified and strong with four times less breakage.
Mizani’s new three-step strengthening and repairing service is formulated with ingredients including plant derived Spirulina superfood, Vitamin E Oil, and Intra-Cylane Technology to fill hair fiber, recover hair from damage and seal in strength. It can be used on all curl types and textures with any Mizani back bar chemical services.
"Women with textured hair love to transform their style, but with each transformation, hair is exposed to harsh chemicals and damage," says Kate Oechsle-Truesdale, Mizani USA director of education. "Mizani recognizes the value of in-salon treatments and the importance of professional services that treat and maintain hair compromised by multiple conditions. The Strength Fusion Rescue Service is the ultimate tool in building stronger, fortified hair that can be incorporated into every service the stylist offers in the salon."
