Kiara, who hails from Tsawwassen, says she often visits Richmond with her family for shopping and Chinese food.  A high school student who aspires to enter into nursing field, this was Kiara’s first time having her hair professionally coloured.  She arrived at the salon looking for a fresh but subtle change but without any drastic change in length.  James, Cutting Edge’s master stylist, expertly assessed her hair which was light brown monotone in colour,
fine in texture and thick in volume cascading in a straight waterfall down her back, but dry, particularly near the brittle ends.  

James trimmed off an inch and a half of the damaged ends and added layers ends for volume and ease of styling.  He applied an oil treatment to condition and repair her locks and then opted to add baby ombre highlights of varying lengths to the ends and sides to add shine and depth.  Curling the hair brought out the subtle highlights to softly frame her face and brighten her complexion.

My, our make-up artist, completed the make-over with a natural fresh day-time look as well as a more glamourous smoky-eyed look, as Kiara models clothing from Romeo + Juliet.

Christina, a student, came in with dull, lifeless hair.  James suggested a soft, layered cut to add volume as well as versatility and easy maintenance.

A few twirls with a curling on the ends can be used on days you want to look more sleek and sophisticated, yet still look fresh and youthful.

Doesn’t Christina look pretty?

James applied a chestnut brown colour to her hair to complement and brighten her complexion and recommended using
sulfate-free Moroccannoil shampoo and conditioners which are safe for daily washing,  while infusing dehydrated hair

with antioxidant argan oil and replenishing nutrients.

Moroccannoil oil treatment was applied before blow-drying, to speed up the drying process while leaving hair shiny and silky-soft.

Why do you still use shampoo which contain sulfates?
Protect your scalp and hair from today!

You’ve likely heard or read about the beauty industry moving to “sulfate free” products.  Sulfates act as a detergent and emulsifier and is used in many cosmetic and personal care products, as well as laundry detergents and industrial cleaners.  In personal care products it is commonly found in toothpaste (which is why there are warning labels not to swallow it), body washes and cleansers, liquid hand soaps, and bath oils/bath salts. In cosmetics, it can be found in make-up foundations, eye-make up, lipsticks and sunscreen lotions. Sulfates are commonly listed in the ingredient list under names such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), and Ammonium Laurel Sulfate (ALS).
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a powerful, grease cutting detergent, is present in nearly all shampoos, scalp treatments, hair color and bleaching agents.  Perhaps you’ve wondered what the big deal is about sulfate free shampoo and cleansing agents. In relatively simple terms, SLS is used to make soap “soapy” (which we like because we are accustomed to associating bubbles with clean) and it cuts and removes oil effectively.
This is a good thing in shampoo, right? I want my shampoo to be foamy to clean oily hair effectively. The problem is that, even in diluted quantities, SLS may be irritating to the skin and scalp. Have you ever got shampoo in your eyes and experienced burning or irritating sensations? SLS is the likely cause of the burning.

The disadvantages of using SLS containing hair products may include irritating the skin and scalp, damage to the hair follicle which can lead to weakened hair structure and diminished hair growth.  Some studies suggest that cumulative SLS use over the years can build up organ toxicity or even cause cancer.

Why do shampoo brands include sulfate detergents in shampoo?
The bottom line is price. SLS as detergent are cheap to produce.  Alternatively, milder detergents are more expensive to produce and will increase the price of the final product. This is the reason it is difficult to find an inexpensive sulfate free shampoo. However, shampoos sold by hair salons tend to be concentrated so that you don’t need to use as much as a drug store brand shampoos to clean your hair effectively.  In addition, salon brand shampoos tend to be gentler on hair for daily use without causing as much residue build-up.

Cutting Edge believes in offering safer alternatives in hair care, which is why we use and sell Morrocanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, which contain argan oil and keratin, and fatty acids and proteins to restore dry or damaged hair.  Best of all, Morrocanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner is sulfate-free!  Come by and speak to one of our hairstylists today about our alternative sulfate-free hair products!
