So your hair changes every 7 years...and my coif is certainly in a transitional period. Stick straight in some spots with frizzy kinks in others, the inconsistency is making me crazy. The cure? A Keratin Complex Infusion Therapy Treatment. This replenisher, with a high ph, systematically opens the cuticle and infuses keratin proteins and emollients into the hair. How to use? Either stop in for a treatment at Studio Z ($30+) or use at home by following these simple steps. After shampooing and conditioning, dispense a small amount into your palm and distribute evenly through towel dried hair. Blow dry and then flat iron into your hair.
