Silky Smooth With Olez Advanced

If your client comes in with frizzy, unmanageable hair but doesn't want to suffer from the harmful fumes created by keratin products containing formaldehyde, then Olez Advanced is the way to go. This 2 step smoothing system is designed with the stylist in mind; leaving the hair silky, smooth, and stronger. This month we had the opportunity to do some great  demos with our in-house stylist Ashley. Lets take a look at the step by step process for Olez Advanced, and the before and after results on our model's hair.


1. Shampoo Hair Twice with Olez Clarifying, Step 1

Shampoo hair twice. Rinse while combing hair with fingers or a wide tooth comb to avoid tangling.

Note: Do not vigorously rub onto hair or scalp in order to avoid tangling hair.



2. Towel Dry

Towel dry the hair, leaving it slightly moist.
Then separate hair into 3-4 parts using hair clips.


3. Spray Olez Smoothing Solution, 
Step 2 to Hair

Wearing gloves, spray the Smoothing Solution, step 2, onto small parts, starting from the back of the head.

Note: Avoid spraying the product directly on the scalp. Spray Smoothing Solution 1/4 inch from the
roots using a fine tooth comb to distribute the product evenly from roots to ends.

After you have thoroughly applied the Smoothing Solution to the hair, comb the hair until you feel the product is evenly distributed.


4. Processing Time

After completing application allow the Smoothing Solution Step 2 to sit in hair for an additional 40-45 minutes for processing. (45 minutes for coarse and/or rebellious curls)


5. Shampoo Hair

Shampoo hair with Olez Clarifying Deep Cleanser, Step 1, removing all of step 2 before blow-drying.

6. Blow Dry

Remove gloves and blow dry hair 100% dry. Use your fingers or a wide tooth comb to separate the hair to ensure all layers are dried thoroughly.


7. Seal Hair with Flat Iron

Note: Flat iron must be at a temperature of 400°-450°F, (200°-230°C)

Separate the hair and begin flat ironing approx. 1"-2" sections until hair feels light. Repeat process until entire hair is
straightened.


Note: You may see steam while flat ironing hair.

After Care Tips For Your Clients:

• Always blow dry the hair after each shampoo to maintain the best results.
• We recommend using Olez Inception Shampoo and Conditioner, both are paraben-free,salt-free and sulfate-free, when shampooing hair. 
• We recommend coloring of the hair before treatment.
• Minimize contact with  chlorine or salt water to enhance the duration of treatment. 

The Perfect Blow-Dry

Blow drying hair may seem simple enough, but in fact there are wrong ways to do this which can result in damaging locks and an uneven frizzy look. Before we get into the "right way" to achieve a perfect blow-dry, let's take a look at some of the things to keep in mind before starting.

Consider the following:

Brush type:  The metal varieties heat up way too fast, making hair way too hot. Look for a round brush with a mix of nylon and boar bristles.

Holding the dryer in place: Do not! Hold the dryer on one spot directly on the hair, you will do serious damage and can even fry the hair right off. Always keep a constant movement. 

Tips by Edward Teitel, celebrity hair stylist and Olez Creative Director!

1. Start with an amazing prep treatment such as Olez 02 Detox to get the
product and chemical buildup off the hair. This will give you a great clean
feel, extra shine, manageability and control.

2. Methodically dry hair, section by section with control and tension on the
strand using a round brush and a blow dryer with a directional funnel.
The brush will give tension while the nozzle directs the air flow into the
right concentration resulting in smoothing and polishing the cuticles
down.

3. If you see hair being blown all around with the dryer, stop. This will cause
the hair to be rougher, not as shiny, and you'll have to refinish with another
tool such as a flatiron.

4. The end result should always be more important than speed drying
haphazardly. So take strands section by section with control.

5. Put brush on top for closer flatter looks and underneath for styles with
a lot of volume.

Minimal Collection by Edward Teitel for Olez

Mondrian is a great example of minimalist art.

The Minimal Collection by celebrity stylist and Olez Creative Director, Edward Teitel was inspired by the definition of the Minimalism Movement: Any design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect. It exposes the essence of a subject by eliminating most non essential forms and features, in this case wardrobe, colors, and backgrounds to highlight the focal point.

Throughout history painters and artists always looked for the perfect canvas to put their masterpiece on. In the beauty industry we tend to always look for the perfect product that does everything, whether it be hair color or styling product with little regard or respect for the management of the canvas (hair), on which these products are to be applied on. The stronger the basic foundation the stronger the results; That's what Minimalism was all about.

Edward Teitel's Minimalist Collection featuring the use of  Olez O2 Detox System for hair

For Edward to enhance his chance of success he used Olez O2 Detox Therapy, a tool aimed at creating an amazing canvas by removing all non essential product and chemical buildup to achieve maximum effect. The O2 Oxygen Therapy detoxifies hair, and then replenishes the follicle with essential vitamins, nutrients, and emollients.

Apple Stem Cell Technology- INCEPTION

INCEPTION  is a professional restorative system that repairs damage, adds shine to dull hair and controls wave and frizz. The treatment is enhanced with Apple Stem Cell Technology.

What is this Apple Stem Cell Technology? 

PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica is an award-winning patented liposomal preparation, so containing tiny bubbles made out of the same material as cell membranes, based on the stem cells of a rare Swiss apple called Uttwiler Spätlauber that derives from a seedling planted in the middle of the 18th century. Uttwiler Spätlauber is an endangered apple variety that is well-known for its ability to be stored for long periods without shriveling and thus its longevity potential. The apples are rich in phytonutrients, proteins and long-living cells. A novel technology has now been developed enabling the cultivation of rare and endangered species like Uttwiler Spätlauber. Thanks to this technology, plant stem cells can be obtained and incorporated into skin care products to enhance the longevity of skin cells. Not only does it protect the skin’s own stem cells but has been shown to have excellent age-delaying and anti-wrinkle properties, and is currently one of the most pioneering and exciting ingredients in skin care. 

Yes skincare! So where do we come in? Olez was the first company to introduce this technology into hair care products, launching our first line INCEPTION in 2012. 

What are the benefits? 

- INCEPTION adds body and volume to thinning hair

- Adds shine to dull hair

- Repairs damage from the inside of the follicle

- Smooths frizz and controls wave

- Promotes healthy hair growth

- Hydrates, protects, and stimulates the hair's follicles

This breakthrough technology helps differentiate the salon from it's competitors as a leader in innovation.

Basic Steps To Successful Hairdressing

Olez Creative Director and Celebrity Stylist, Edward Teitel shared with us some of his techniques for successful hair dressing. 

1.Get the hair in optimum condition with an Olez Treatment such as Inception or Essence of Youth.

2.Have an idea where you want to go with a style and what techniques will help you get there. Apply the proper texture to the hair, whether it be straight and smooth or wavy or curly.

3.Once the texture is there, manipulate the hair into a style.

4.Plan ahead on how each section will be manipulated. Go from section to section with control. If you start losing control, take smaller sections, or put the hair into pony tails, so you only have to deal with the ends.

"Combining good basic techniques with the right texture will insure your chance of success. Always use basic Art Principles of thirds and volume in Front, Crown, or Nape." says Edward.
