If you are going to dye hair, do it carefully
Dying the hair is maybe one of the most extreme changes in anyone's look, but it can be very dangerous for the hair: must protect it. Welcome back!Have you ever thought about hair dying ? A process that a few years ago was just used to grey hair covering is now a common practice to define your own style, in the same way as buying a new jacket or wear new earrings. There is no problem about it, becauseevery person looks better in some colours than others, depending on different factors as the skin colour, the hair length, etc. However, there's a huge difference compared with the clothes or accessories: hair is a natural fiber which is part of our body, and thereforeyou must be very careful with the way you apply dyes and decolorations .What dyes and decolorations do on the hair and why they damage it? But, why must you be careful? After all, there's no big difference with painting any skin zone, is it? Actually,dying o decolouring the hair has nothing to do with colouring or decolouring any skin zone : each hair is an extremely thin and delicate fiber, which has some resistance and elasticity, butextremely suffers the interaction with the chemicals of which the dye is composed due to its natural keratin composition.[caption id="attachment_26172" align="aligncenter" width="685"] Dying the hair can be a great solution to find your prefect look [/caption]The hair fiber is divided transversely inthree layers: medulla, cortex and cuticle. Themedulla is a central tube which goes all the way inside the hair from root to end, and comparatively is much thinner than the other two parts. Thecortex is the main body of the hair and, therefore,is where all the treatments which take care of the hair fiber act , especially the dyes. Thecuticle , the external layer, is theprotection barrier of the hair , which is formed by scales, and that's why everything that wants to do something on the hair cortex has to go through the cuticle.Most of dyes, to have a long-lasting result on the hair, don't just apply the stain on the cuticle because, if they did, the dye will disappear in a few washes: what they look is toget through the external scales until the hair cortex and act there. However, this process, applied forcolorations or decolorations , makes the powerful chemicals toweak the cortex of the hair and turn it weaker, because theydegrade the disulfide bridges that maintain the hair stable and resistant. This can lead to a easily breakable and falling hair when different treatments are applied in the same hair. Long story short:the dyes or oxydants are aggressive chemical treatments that, when repeated, can make the hair fall .[caption id="attachment_26190" align="alignnone" width="1391"] Hair is divided transversely in three layers: medulla, cortex and cuticle [/caption]Does that mean that if I have thin hair I cannot colour / decolour it? Not necessarily. The hair thickness fairly influences its resistance.The important thing is the hair health in general, and especially in the capillary cortex. If the hair cortex is weak está débil, because of a chemical treatment accumulation or for any other reason, it is not advisable use a dye as usually; but when the cortex is healthy, regardless of the hair type, shouldn't be a problem at all. On the other hand, measuring the cortex hair is easy: aweak hair is easily breakable and the tips are usually opened . Despite everything,the best is asking for advice to a professional , as your regular stylist.I have a weak hair but I want to dye / decolour it. Is there a way to do it? Yes. At KV-1 we've developed a hair protective system whichreinforces the internal bonds of the hair to improve its health and resistance, especially designed to prevent and restore the damage produced bye dying processes in the hair cortex and cuticle and thus protect the chemical stressed hair integrity: theOneplex professional system.[caption id="attachment_26178" align="aligncenter" width="772"] To avoid colouring damage on the hair we recommend Oneplex [/caption]It is athree steps system for the stylist or hairdresser to protect the hair of its customers while applying the colouring or decolouring treatment. First, theBond Multi-Booster is mixed withany kind of colouring product to fortify the already existing hair health and prepare the way for the next product to act. This is theClean & Maintenance : a stain respectful shampoo that ensures the effect of the previous hair mask and eases the way for... The third and last step: theBond Perfect Sealer , an intensive anti-breakage treatment that reinforces the hair internally, protecting it against external aggressions.Using ourOneplex system, the hair can change easily from a colouring result to another, or reinforcing a weak hair that in any other case wouldn't have been able to receive a chemical treatment without breakage risk. Take a look to itin our website andrecommend it to your stylist , if it doesn't has it yet, because it is anessential product to any styling salon that wants to apply dyes or decolorations .

Hi again!Most of you already know us, and you know what we do: at KV-1 Anti-Aging Beauty we work mainly inhair treatments to take care of the hair of our users. We arepioneers in Anti-Aging Treatments in Spain and, specifically, our brand developed theHair Lifting concept. We have been focusing ourselvesfor more than 30 years on the hair cosmetics and we know how to work to provide the widest range of care and nourishment to your hair. That's why most of our treatments are based on theThree Steps System . Today we came here to explain it.Sometimes, thehair treatments doesn't give the expected results . Mainly, the efectiveness of the treatments applied to the hair remain inthe way that they are applied . And although it's true that most of shampoos and hair masks can be applied in your own shower, the stress, the lack of practice or the evereyday's problems imply that the applying may be not the adequate, showing thatnobody is best for your haircare that your own stylist .[caption id="attachment_26135" align="aligncenter" width="740"] The hair treatments can be applied in home or in the salon, but it's always better in the latter [/caption]Despite everything, every hairdresser has its own way of working so, what can be done to a treatment for having a real effect on the hair?Three steps for a perfect hair To avoid all these problems for a treatment to work, at KV-1 we have implemented a system based in the Anti-Aging Technology for all our products toprovide an optimal result in any case : theKV-1 Three Steps . Of our7 hair product línes onlytwo don't use this system , and this is because the kind of treatment they produce. But the rest of lines (Hair Lifting Originals ,Advanced Cellular Repair , Fiber Prestige Moisture ,Tricoterapy Advanced Care &Oneplex ) use this hairdressingmodus operandi , because through the years we've checked that this is the best way.And which are this KV-1 Three Steps? This three phase ritual is based on the ideas ofpurifying ,preparing andacting . This implies afirst step , in which we apply a product destined to clean the cuticle and the scalp which varies depending on the treatment: in the Tricoterapy one, for example, this step corresponds with ourDermarescue Exfoliant . Then it comes asecond step , usually arepair hair mask which activates the hair for the final step: in our Oneplex, this stage corresponds to theBond Clean & Maintenance . Finally, it comes adirect intensive treatment , asthird step , tosoak the hair fiber and the scalp with nutrients and our most powerful formula , providing the most visible and final change to the hair: in our Collections, the final touch is given by the famousHair Lifting .[caption id="attachment_26148" align="aligncenter" width="537"] Our three steps method can be summarized in: 1-Exfoliate, 2-Clean, 3-Treat [/caption]Why shouldn't I use one of the three steps on its own? As we were saying,it is not advisable to use any of our products of a treatment separately , and this has a reason: if each product prepares the hair to the next one,using just one of them doesn't allow to absorb at the maximum the active principles and nutrients which make our hairstronger and beautiful . Let's say, for example, that we want that our hair gets extremely moisturized using just themask of our Fiber Prestige Moisture . No doubts that it will have some effect on the hair, because it has a great quality, but the hair wouldn't have been purified before, nor would have the final nutrient and active principle bomb that it should, and that's why its effect would be very limited.Besides, it has to be said thatthe hair treatment would only be effective if its maintained through time . It is a great idea going to your stylist to enjoy a KV-1 ritual, and no doubts that your hair will be improved immediately, but if not repeated usually,external (as pollution) andinternal agents (as the hair growth itself) will erase that first effect slowly until make it disappear and, therefore, making your hair health diminish again. Thus:maintaining a pretty hair precise a frequency of application .[caption id="attachment_26154" align="aligncenter" width="586"] Only the correct using of the KV-1 Three Steps System allows the obteinance of all the benefits of a treatment [/caption]All these things said, we advise you touse the three steps in each of our treatments .

Aprende másWhat happens to my hair in autumn?
It's not your imagination: hair falling increases in the months between September and December. Yet, don't worry! There is a solution. Autumn finally came to establish itself. Tree leaves get dropped on the pavement, the sun falls sooner and the cold reconquers the space it lost in Spring. But there's another thing about this season: at mornings, what was a clean pillow became into an entangled jungle, brushes seem more angry and hungry than before, and all our clothes don't look as tidy as before. In a nutshell: there's hair everywhere. And we all think:why hair falls more in autumn? .[caption id="attachment_26070" align="aligncenter" width="669"] As tree leaves, hair falls more in autumn than in other seasons. [/caption]WHAT IS HAIR? Well, first we need to know what hair is: anamount of fibers , mainly formed bykeratin (a protein which also integrates nails) that just appear in mammals (like humans) and that work asthermal and other external factors insulation for the body. The human body evolution implied that all over milions of years, our species has been slowly losing hair in different parts of the body, leaving them almost naked; other parts, like armpits, pubis and head have been able to keep a high concentration of this protective layer.Hair is divided inthree parts :Root ,Body andTip . Thebody and thetip are the medium and high parts of the hair, and its health depends mainly of the care of the cuticle, the outside layer of the hair fiber. But theroot is maybe the most important section, because there is thehair bulb , where hair borns and where it gets stuck to the medium layer of the skin: thedermis .[caption id="attachment_26072" align="aligncenter" width="695"] The four phases of Hair Life Cicle: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. [/caption]HAIR LIFE CICLE Thehair bulb is more important than the other parts of the hair, because all the hair life cicle depends on this initial part, because is there where it recieves the nutrients to make it grow. The hair life cicle is divided in four stages: anagen (in which the hair grows for 3 to 6 years), catagen (in which the hair stops growing and rests during 1 to 3 weeks),telogen (in which the hair falls off slowly, on its own or with help of mechanical agents, and lasts for 1 to 3 months) andexogen (in which the hair follicle begins to create a new hair from the root).This cicle has as a result thatevery day fall from 50 to 150 hairs , in a normal season. Butin autumn , different causes, none of them ultimate, result in agreater number of fallings for most of people. Being clear our love for everything involved with the hair, we've listed some of the most important possible causes for this massive falling...[caption id="attachment_26074" align="aligncenter" width="552"] The 'areata' or temporal falling works due to multiple factors, but is never ultimate. [/caption]7 reasons why the hair falls more in autumn There's lots of reasons why the hair falls more in this season. Either way, it is important for you to know thatthe hair which falls in Autumn can be recovered with time . Thehair falling is divided among two main kinds:androgenetic , which depends on the genes and causes the permanent baldness, andareata , which isalways temporary and depends on external factors (as the sunlight or the dyes) or internal (as a disease or stress). The Autumn one is an areata falling, and therefore is temporary. Aquí tenéis 7 posibles motivos de que se produzca: A possible explanation is the 'shedding'. The humans, as the other mammals, change their hair and, as well as animals like bears, dogs and rabbits, with the arrival of the cold weather, their body rejects the old summer hair and change it for a new winter one. Another reason is that, in general, a huge part of the hair goes into catagen stage at the end of the spring and needs aproximately three months to go to its telogen and exogen stages, through the summer. When summer is over, is the time when all the dead hair from spring ends by falling off slowly. Also, in summer the sunlight has more power and affects more the scalp; it becomes thicker and denser and thus protect our head more from sunrays. When autumn comes, and while the sun decreases its intensity, the hair loses quality and falls off. Coming back from summer holidays implies that our habits change to get back to work and everydayness routine. Sometimes, this creates a stress strange in holidays, where there's more time to drive things calmly and have better life quality. This affects badly to our body and, of course, hair, making it to fall more. Again, on summer, the exposition to more sweat, sea salt, chlorine from pools and other external factors make our hair weaker and that it falls easier during the autumn. A person with iron deficit or with hormonalalterations, during autumn, will have an even more weak hair and will see it fall more than normal, especially if its long (not because it falls more, but because it's more visible). Finally, the extreme temperatures, mainly when they imply abrupt changes, will affect the hair badly. This is even worst in the change to cold temperatures, something typical of autumn. [caption id="attachment_26076" align="aligncenter" width="735"] To control any kind of hair fall and other issues related , we recommend you Tricoterapy Advanced Care by KV-1. [/caption] What can I do to avoid autumn hair falling? And now what? We have to resign to lose our hair every autumn? Somehow, the autumn fall is inevitable, because all the reasons we explained to you above. However, adeep hair healthcare, and especially of the hairbulb or root and scalpwill decelerate, stop or even prevent a great part of theautumn hair fall , improving the hair looking in general.For doing this, is essential nourishing and working the hair strength. The best solution to this isavoiding stress ,keeping a good nutrition and, over all,trust on a professional .
