SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT MY HANDS UP TO THIS ONE AND ADMIT I’M YOUR AVERAGE HAIRDRESSERS NIGHTMARE, FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DON’T HAVE THE AVERAGE HAIRDRESSER!

When Paul Clayton gets excited about a new hair product I know enough to listen and at Collective Hairdressing they had (collectively) been getting pretty excited about L’Oreal’s latest ‘miracle’ I had a sneaky peek of what it was all about at a Big Hair day event at the salon.

So what’s it all about? I hear you ask!

It’s a ‘haircure’ that cares for your hair like a manicure cares for your hands? Pro Fiber, is a long-lasting recharging haircare programme for damaged hair that starts in salon and is prolonged at home. Enriched with Aptyl 100 technology, with over seven years of research and with seven patents pending. The thing is that at Collective Hairdressing I cant get away with anything either, so as I fill in the questionnaire I have to tick the ‘honest’ boxes. Yes; to using home hair colours sometimes (well I get bored) Yes; to backcombing Yes; to using bands to tie up my hair, Like I said I’m a hairdressers nightmare!

Despite the fact that Paul knows all of my deepest darkest secrets (about my hair at least) he starts with my exclusive insalon consultation by Pro Fiber programme analysing the level of thickness and damage and then prescribing the perfect one for me. Explaining that there are three ranges designed for different levels of thickness and sensitivity and assuring me that I can achieve shiny and healthy-looking hair whatever my hair’s texture and level of damage.

There are three different Pro Fiber treatments Revive: for slightly damaged hair, Restore to smooth damaged hair and Recover to strengthen very damaged hair. After Paul tests the elasticity of my hair, I’m all prepared to hear, she needs Recovery or even she’s beyond redemption when I hear that I need Restore, yey!

My treatment starts with the shampoo and a relaxing scalp massage Restore has a spicy, floral fragrance of sandal milk its heavenly followed by a special concentrate that can only be found in-salon which was applied to the damaged areas of my hair. Next the masque on top of the concentrate was massaged into the hair fibre using a professional layering technique.

When my hair is finally blow dried it looks thicker shinier, actually doesn’t look at all like the dull limp locks I arrived with. Pro Fiber doesn’t end there; at home you continue using the hair care programme with your prescribed shampoo, conditioner or masque. You use the re-charge booster every four shampoos as a substitute to your conditioner or masque and recharge the salon resurfacing effect yourself at home for up to 6 weeks.

I have only used the re-charge once but already my hair looks thicker and shinier, even slapped back in to a pony tail, but I have worn it down too and believe me that never ever happens! ProFibre try it you’ll like it!
