HAIR REHAB: Great Treatments and Products
Back to the Blog... | Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly
"Do yourself a favor and check into rehab," chuckles Christo, of the eponymous Christo Fifth Avenue Salon. What he means is: Get your hair rehabbed. And we could not agree more. A while ago we noted, post-summer, that it was time to rehab your skin after the sunning and funning all July and August. Well, now it's time to think about the hair--and Christo is just the guy to call upon.
Jet-setter that he is, Christo is off to Paris twice a year (for the collections, to "do" hair at several runway shows) and he's usually pretty busy: Given that he writes a regular column for his homeland?s Cyprus Mail; given that he has a roster of celeb clients who demand his time and focus (just look at his Web site and there he is with Marcia Gay Harden, Rosanna Arquette, Mary McCormack, Brittany Murphy, and on and on...); and given that he has developed and sells a line of superior hair care products (many of which are geared toward curly hair, his specialty), you'll wan t to call and get on the calendar. But, if you don't catch the maestro himself, fear not; the hair guru has bottled his products for your hair rehab, and you can take the do-it-yourself route. (At the salon, the treatment which lasts up to about 8 weeks, costs $150.) If you do it yourself with his products, you'll save a small bundle. You'll need the Rehab Cleanser, Rehab Conditioner, and Rehab Masque. (And just for the record, if your hair is really badly damaged, you can sign up for a hair rehab program at the salon, which provides you with four treatments within two months, for $500, representing a $100 savings.)
The genius of tresses developed these unique formulas while visiting the Mediterranean. They contain seaweed to stimulate and revitalize the scalp; algae to strength the hair; and kelp which imparts emollients to the hair shaft. All in all, they revitalize the hair, strip away build-up of impurities, restore shine, and promote healthy new growth. The trio of products retails for $200 and will easily provide at least six treatment; use it once a month and watch your hair get back its shine and glory.
