Why You Might be Using the Wrong Blow Dryer

by Emmanuel Mroczka

People have always asked, “Jeffrey, what should I look for when choosing a blow dryer.” This is a question that more of us should think about when we’re making a purchase, because not all dryers are equal! I want to share with you my favorite blow dryer, and what features it has.

The new CHI touch is my favorite blow dryer and one I would recommend to anyone because it has the following features:

  • Temperature setting
  • Volume of air setting
  • Changeable nosel
  • Ionization setting

These are all important settings because the more heat you use, the less beauty your hair has. Many blow dryers do not have a temperature setting, which in return, causes many of use to over heat our hair.

Ask Jeffrey: “What to Ask When Searching for a Hair Loss Specialist”

by Emmanuel Mroczka

JP_AskStylist_1_9_14

“Jeffrey, I have begun losing my hair and am unsure about what to ask my stylist or a hair loss specialist in order to find someone who is going to do a good job recommending a solution. What questions should I be asking?” ~ Alicia P.

When a woman begins experiencing hair loss and thinning it can be an experience with a lot of unanswered questions. What do I do? What can I do? Is there a solution for me?

Talking to your stylist is a big step, and one I want you to make as part of your New Year’s resolution. You may be embarrassed, you may want to hide your thinning and loss, but your stylist is there to help. Here are some questions to ask your stylist, or a hair loss specialist, and what responses you would want to receive.

1.   Do you specialize in women’s hair loss issues? Can I talk to one or two of your clients who had similar circumstances to mine.

  • Good answers: Yes, or, mostly. Of course, we can arrange that, and maybe you can even meet one of them, who was happy with our work – have a look at the solution she selected! 

2.   How long have you been doing this?

Styling Tools to Create Your Holiday Hairstyle

by Emmanuel Mroczka

Flat Iron

Having great hair for the holidays may mean styling with hot tools. But there are common mistakes we make when it comes to using curling irons and flat irons. I want you to look fabulous this holiday season, so here are three things to consider before prepping your look.

1.     Time – First, time management is a big deal. We all have places to be during this busy season, and the correct styling tools will help style your hair in less time. Tools get old. If you have had the same hot iron for years, it is time to replace it. Styling tools wear down over time, which causes them to not work as well and lead to unsatisfying results.

How Hot Water Affects How Hair Shines

by Emmanuel Mroczka

JP_TempHandels_11_7_13

Click below to listen: 

Not so hot! One of the bad habits many of us continue to do when washing our hair, is using hot water. Although hot water may feel good on our body in the shower, it actually causes your hair cuticles to swell. When your cuticles swell, it creates an uneven surface, the result? Your hair looks dull. Instead, rinse your hair with cold or lukewarm water to close the cuticle and create an all over shine.

For an even more detailed look at how to wash your hair and/or your hair system check out my Maintenance Video by clicking here!

Feed the “Root” of Hair Loss.

by Emmanuel Mroczka

bigstock-The-Tree-And-Rood-9695642

We have all heard the saying, “you need to get to the root of the problem in order to find a solution.” Finding a hair loss solution is no different. When a woman comes in to see me to ask about a solution for her hair loss she is looking to find a solution that takes care of what she sees in the mirror every day. Yet, it is just as important that we also work on a solution for what is unseen and may be the root of the problem of hair loss.

Much like a tree, hair has a root called the follicle. If the follicle of the hair is not getting the right nutrients it can cause the hair to grow thinner, go dormant or even fall out. This is why maintaining a healthy diet and finding the right nutritional supplement, comprised of natural elements, can make a difference in keeping hair strong and beautiful while also maintaining hair for as long as possible.

Cause of Hair Loss in a Hair System

by Emmanuel Mroczka

HairLossBrushEach of my hair system designs are exclusive to the Jeffrey Paul Salon and are made with technologically advanced materials and proprietary blends of hair. Our hair systems are handmade in which we tie each hair in by hand selecting only the finest quality hair available. This ensures that our guests look natural and beautiful.

One of the greatest desires of our guests is to have their hair system last as long as possible. In order for us to help our guest achieve this goal it is important that they follow a well-prescribed maintenance program including: the right techniques, products, tools and procedures as prescribed by my trained hair specialists.

Because a hair system is a handmade product, natural hair shedding, from continued use, over the course of six months to a year is normal. However, there are a number of actions that can cause excessive hair loss AFTER delivery of your hair system. 

One of the largest factors creating major, ongoing, irreversible hair loss in a hair system is conditioner remaining in the root area. Conditioner that is allowed to be absorbed onto the base of the hair system and gather around the root system will ultimately prevent the root system form pivoting 360 degrees allowing for hair to loosen and fall out or break off at the root.

To prevent against excessive hair loss in your hair system, conditioner MUST be thoroughly and completely rinsed out to avoid excessive hair loss in a hair system.

Is Towel Drying My Hair Damaging It?

by Emmanuel Mroczka

You may be damaging your hair in the worse way possible. How you ask? From the friction you create when towel drying your hair. When you dry your hair with a normal bath towel, in a rubbing fashion, the loops in that soft towel cause friction and tangles which leads to breakage and cuticle damage.  So how can you dry your hair?

Simple! By using the right micro fiber towel and the right technique for drying will leave your hair almost 80 percent dryer while still leaving enough moisture to keep hair healthy.

How NOT to Waste Product

by Emmanuel Mroczka

JP_Hands_9_5_13Do you ever feel like you are using endless amount of shampoo, conditioner or other hair products? You are spending a fortune on buying products only to feel like you go through them quicker and quicker.

One of the biggest culprits for wasted product is overuse due to not emulsifying product. What is emulsifying a product? That is a great question!

Most people hop in the shower grab their bottle of shampoo, squeeze it in their hands and apply it directly to their hair. The problem with this is that the product is unable to spread properly which means the individual either has one very clean section of hair or has to go back and use more product to get the rest of their hair clean.

Next time you hop in the shower and grab the bottle of shampoo or conditioner; or are styling your hair with your favorite styling aid make sure to do the following:

1. Squeeze the correct amount of product into your hands based on the length and type of hair texture.

2. Emulsify product by rubbing your hands together, as if you were trying to warm your hands up, spreading the product through your hands and fingers and also warming the product up.

3. Then using your fingers evenly spread the product through your hair.

Seems simple, but I will guarantee that not only will your hair have better results you will also save money by not wasting product!

Everlasting Products?

by Emmanuel Mroczka

Time-expired-300x200Myth – The Beautiful Hair Products can last several years.

Fact – Because our products are developed with the highest grade USP ingredients the shelf life of the Beautiful Hair Products is 1 year. After a year, we cannot guarantee that the product will give the same quality results.

The guidelines for product usage are based on how many times per week a guest washes their hair and the length and texture of hair. The usage chart below is based on 6”hair length in a straight texture. Hair longer than 6” or with more curly texture would mean that product will be used faster. Hair shorter than 6” length would mean that product would be used slightly slower (Usage below based on an 8oz bottle):

  • 1 Wash Per Week = 5 – 6 months
  • 3 Washes Per Week = 3 – 4 months
  • 7 Washes Per Week = 1 – 2 months

“The goal of the Jeffrey Paul Salon is to always exceed our guests’ expectations by providing the best of the best in services, products, experience, education and care!” For more information on becoming one of our guests please email or call us to set up a private consultation or visit our guest corner for more guest specific information.

Younger Looking Hair

by Emmanuel Mroczka

HandinhandThis past weekend I had the great pleasure of spending time with my first granddaughter who is turning one! As I was playing with her she placed her hand in mine and I recognized how soft her baby skin was compared to mine.

Everyone knows the feel of a baby’s skin. The skin is soft, plump and filled with moisture – this is due to the skins natural occurring Sodium PCA which acts as a moisture retention agent. As an individual gets older Sodium PCA becomes less and less causing skin to become dry and tight.

Because hair has very similar characteristics to skin, when we specifically formulated our Beautiful Hair Care System one of the main ingredients we used in our Moisturizing Conditioner was Sodium PCA. This ingredient helps retain moisture in the hair. As moisture is retained, the shine of hair increase, tangles are reduced, hair is more manageable, color is deeper and richer, and best of all dryness is gone giving you the look you desire.

Women all around the world spend millions of dollars each year trying to find products that make their hair and skin look and feel younger and softer. Hair products promise to do many things but you can’t always “judge a book by its cover”… it’s more important to know what is in the products you use and why those ingredients are important to giving you the look you desire.

Do You Want Salon Soft Hair?

by Emmanuel Mroczka

Do you wonder how you can get salon soft hair at home? Simple! The secret is to pre-condition your hair, before your regular shampooing! This helps eliminate tangles when shampooing hair. If hair is tangled when shampooing you are not getting clean hair and you are going to create breakage in hair because of snarling of the tangles.

This is what you can do BEFORE you get into the shower to help condition hair while also removing tangles to get salon soft hair:

1. Get a water bottle and put a small amount of conditioner into a spray bottle of water. Shake really well.

2. Section your hair and then spray the pre-conditioner onto hair above and below the sectioned hair.

3. Comb through hair using a Wet Brush to help eliminate tangles.

4. Then let it sit while you get ready to get in the shower.

As an extra little bonus my video also shows you the keys to applying Protein Treatment and Moisturizing Conditioner the right way.

Which Products Do I Use – Why? (Part 2)

by Emmanuel Mroczka

Protein, Protein, Protein! Every product today seems to talk about protein. Why is this and are all proteins created equally?

Hair is made up of 97% protein. So protein in hair is extremely important especially when it comes to repairing damaged hair. Think of hair as being very similar to a road… the smoother the road the better. 9 out of every 10 guests who come in, both at my salon as well as at all salons, have some form of damaged hair and thus all of those guests desperately need protein in their hair.

image005

Damaged hair is caused by a few different factors including: mechanical stress factors (hot styling tools), chemical stress factors (color services) and climatic stress factors (sun/chlorine). With this damage the hair is left dry, tangled and broken. By placing the right protein into the hair the protein acts to repair hair and make hair once again smooth.

There are two factors I looked at when formulating my Beautiful Hair Protein Treatment: Type of Protein (size of molecule) & Percentage of Protein. These two factors determine how long it will take for the protein to work as well as how much repair will be made to the hair.

For my Protein Treatment we used the highest quality Silk Amino Acid Protein. Here are the three most commonly used proteins found in products.
