Dana shares, “With the lack of P2 Soft Wax, I’ve been encouraging Guests and Designers to try Tela Play. The ingredients between the two are similar.  So I want to share some insights on comparing the two with my Designers.”

Great job Dana on supporting your team!!  Here are the insights Dana shared with her Design team…

  • Tela Play has a much lighter feel than P2 Soft Wax overall.  Both are highly concentrated and can be used on wet or dry hair but they have a different finish, meaning Play is lighter and almost feels more at one with the hair.
  • Soft Wax absolutely must be mixed (in the palm of hands) with a different product for application on a wet to dry hair blowout.  Whereas Play does not require that, but it can be mixed with another product if the Designer wishes.
  • Also on dry hair, Soft Wax is a little more limited than Play.  Soft Wax is wonderful as a thick pomade on wet, damp or dry short cropped styles, such as men’s short cuts or women’s choppy pixies, medium to thick density hair, not fine or sparse hair.
  • Tela Play can be used in this exact same way but Play really has unlimited creativity options such as for sculpting and finishing updo work, braiding and more. And can be used on almost every texture depending on the amount applied.

Trend Alert ~ Boho Bedhead

by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Also coined as the Hippie Cowgirl, the Boho Bedhead trend reflects free spirited styling, fringy bangs, with a purposely undone overall appearance.  Not the teased and sprayed disheveled hair looks of yesteryear, today’s bedhead trend is soft and sultry.  Hair is in beautiful condition with a smooth cuticle and zero tangles.  It’s more about a casual yet quality hair appearance.

And it’s the smart ingredients in our Tela Beauty Organics Liquid IQ Smart Bond Pro Treatment and Tela Beauty Organics Liquid IQ Smart Bond Elixir that can help create the beautiful hair fabric required for this look.  In developing these products, we discovered a unique “Gemini” Surfactant, a biosimilar ingredient relative to natural ceramides.  It distinctively creates a very fine emulsion capable of delivering not only beneficial natural lipids but also can be combined with keratins and other well-known bonding actives by chaperoning them rapidly deep within the hair shaft.  Hence, we describe this action as our Philip Pelusi Chaperone Delivery System.

In addition, the similarity of the chaperone molecule to both cosmetic lipids and polypeptides allows it to move quickly throughout all of the major structural components of hair.  This results in chaperoning water-soluble bonding agents, restructuring polymers moisture binding agents, and color protectants throughout hair’s structure from cuticle to cortex.

We feel this is a truly revolutionary advancement in hair treatment, because for the first-time restructuring agents are fully presented; including hair bond multipliers best delivered to cortex structures, conditioning and structural polymers reinforce damaged keratin, and conditioning and structural amino acids, polypeptides and moisture binders restructure keratin microfibrils.  Bottom line, Tela Liquid IQ dramatically improves the feel, look, and performance of hair critical to getting the luxurious hair fabric required for Year 2026 hair trends.
