Summer Solution ~ Refresh Your Tressesby Nikki ~ Product Education Director
Summer heat and humidity can mean hair needs a reboot throughout the day or before an evening out or Sunday brunch with friends. But there is not always a need or time for a full hair shampoo and styling. Plus, summer hair always needs a reapplication of sun protection just like a SPF does for the skin.

A quick and easy way to revive your hair and get its daily dose of sun protection is surprisingly with a hair refreshing mist! We recommend our P2 by Philip Pelusi RefresHair Smart Styling Texture Spray. Sunflower Extract helps hydrate while White Tea and Thyme freshen hair’s scent. But this incredible multitask spray also contains UV Ray Filters!
Perfect for those days when you don’t hair time for a full restyle, P2 RefresHair works as a lightweight hairspray and heat protector, but its principal role is to help reshape and boost your style. Lightly mist onto dry hair, brush through, or lightly scrunch, or throw in a few microbraids or twists from your flat or curling iron to refresh your look. It’s so lightweight and dries in seconds. Hair stays pliable never stiff or sticky. Sun protection and style all in one!
Sunshine Prep and Protection with P2 Potionby Nikki ~ Product Education Director
As the weather warms up, we tend to stock up on summer clothes, sandals, SPF, self-tanner, and so on! But what about our hair?
Our tresses are often left out of the thought process when it comes to the summer season with most not realizing the damaging effects summer sunshine can have on our hair and scalp! Especially since we are talking about protecting color investments, texture services and the general condition of our hair fabric.
Hair color and haircuts are well worth investments and need protecting just as much, if not more than the new summer blouse we purchased, because we wear our hair every day. Hair can get a sunburn just like the skin. UV Rays erode protein in the hair, causing dryness, breakage, and color loss.
We recommend our P2 by Philip Pelusi Potion. It contains Philip’s proprietary P2 Matrix Blend of 6 natural plant derived UV Filters, including Matricaria and Asafetida, to help protect hair and scalp while simultaneously acting as a heat styling protectant.
When in the sun, toss a bottle of this lightweight, hydrating hair groom into your beach bag. Apply to hair before any sun exposure and then again after getting out of the water. It can be applied to wet or dry hair and dries light as a feather with zero buildup! Also apply P2 Potion every morning as your daily dose of hair sun protection just as you apply your face SPF moisturizer.
We just had to brag about this show-stopping Volumetric Haircut created by Trend Team Member and Philip Pelusi Elite Colorist Shannon @ SSC! This cut and style truly represents the mood and feel of haircutting for 2022, no heavy weight lines and instead released layers and lots of movement.
Not any one specific cut, today’s AirCut trend means airy space throughout the cut paired with visual dimension, accented here by Shannon’s incredible color technique! Shannon styled this look with Tela Beauty Organics Boost!
Limitless, timeless, Philip invented Volumetric™ The Pelusi Method haircutting system to create a custom cut for every client, taking into consideration texture, density, growth patterns, fall lines and the shape of the head.

This season the warmer weather is calling for warmer toned hair color too! So, bring on the Warm Blonde hair color trend! Of course, platinum blonde will always be a chic summer go-to, but this summer blonde hair gets splash of gold like actress Kristen Stewart’s hair color debuted at the 2022 Oscars.

Think buttery, warm vanilla hues of varying depths to give the hair lots of dimension. These light but rich sun kissed shades brighten up the complexion and accentuates eye color. And can be worn as an all over color, balayage, or bright money pieces.

And to better hold these precious color investments, start in the shampoo bowl, or the shower at home.

Trend Alert ~ Artisanal Braids ~ by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
Get your topnotch hair braiding skills ready because this season Artisanal Braided hairstyles are on trend! Several styles are runway and real way favorites. Face framing braids with an easy, 70’s vibe, coming off the now trending straight center part.
Long braided ponytails sometimes bound or interwoven with ribbon or cord. And sculpted braided updo’s with almost a Medusa-like or Grecian goddess type quality. This trend is perfectly exemplified here on Lupita Nyong’o at the Academy Awards.

For creating these styles, we recommend two products from our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Modern Hair Wear Collection. These fit the bill when it comes to any type of braiding, from simple to complex. Not only are they incredibly versatile but also enhance the scalp and hair with cutting-edge ingredients.
The Tela Modern Hair Wear Collection, The New Textile for Hair™, provides a modern feel and approach to styling and wearing hair, almost melting into hair creating a new textile. Tela Play Freeform Wax is a thick crème formula that controls like a wax yet is totally moveable.
Tela Taffy Pomade Gel is a medium density pomade-like formula with light moveable hold. Both can be applied to wet or dry hair for freeform piecing, grooming and finger styling. Zero buildup, both are perfect for any creative braiding too.
They contain the aforementioned Tela Hair Immunity Complex of Probiotics and Fermented Kelp Extract to help improve scalp and hair condition. Organic Quinoa and the Hydro Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex help strengthen, create shine, increase body, and help preserve color.
The Tela Modern Hair Wear Collection also features Peppermint, Milk Thistle, Honey, Aloe, and Lavender for hydration and weightless heat protection. Plus, the Tela USDA Certified 35 Organic Ingredient Base Blend and Tela Tea Blend of White, Green and Oolong Tea.

Trend Alert ~ Purple Reign ~ by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2022, Orchid Flower,takes one of the top spots for this season’s hair color trends. This is a deep edgy hue that Pantone describes as a vibrant rose with purple undertones. It can vary from cherry chocolate to purple black. And application techniques range from all-over single application, balayage, or a single bold ribbon highlight peeking out from behind the ear or the nape.

For all color investments, in addition to a full Philip Pelusi product system, we also recommend our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+. Think of it as a color insurance policy. Apply to the hair both in the actual color formula for the service but also as part of the guests at home regular conditioning regimen by mixing it into their Philip Pelusi deep or instant conditioner.
Tela Color Lock+ contains a totally unique set of ingredients with its cornerstone our Tela Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex. This proprietary blend works like no other color protectant on the marketplace. Healthy, non-chemically or non-color treated hair has a natural shield around it that protects hair from fadage, moisture loss and to some degree heat damage. But once hair has been chemically or color treated, this shield breaks down.
image source healthy hair good housekeeping
This weakened hair cuticle cannot block damaging stressors such as heat, UV light, aging and the environment. This allows the internal hair structure to be compromised, leaving internal bonds, or links, to be further broken or damaged. This also means hair looks and performs like compromised or damaged hair. It loses luster, color molecules, feels rough and dry, and does not style well.
Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex helps restore this shield as it strengthens hair’s internal structure up to three times more than that of untreated hair. Its small molecular structure is designed to penetrate deeply into the cortex creating new bonds that help strengthen, enhancing shine and performance similar to levels in virgin hair. Not permanently, nothing can do that, but with repeated use Tela Color Lock+ creates an environment for the hair to act, look and perform like healthy hair.
Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex acts to buffer the oxidative residues left behind after of the hair color application meaning there is less damage during processing. And since water is the #1 color fader, Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex also helps protect color treated hair from surfactant or water stripping, significantly reduces leakage of color molecules during and after shampooing.
And to help maintain a potent Orchid Flower hue, we also recommend guests give their hair a weekly or biweekly dose of our P2 by Philip Pelusi Color Boost Conditioners in Cherrymint Bark, Violet Orchid, and/or Chocolate Wildberry to get the perfect toning effect.
They stain the hair then fades away over a several days to a week depending on the porosity of the hair. Zero-softening, P2 Color Boost is easy to use on any hair texture by adding a nickel size amount to any Philip Pelusi deep and instant conditioner supporting the guest’s hair texture and styling needs.

Trend Alert ~ Sleek Hair ~ by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
While natural texture is still an extremely prominent and important trend, Spring Summer 2022 texture trends welcome the addition of a sleeker look and feel. Styles range from silky smooth blowouts with the current ‘GenZ approved’ dead straight center part, a` la Naomi Campbell.
To glossy hair slicked back off the face starting at the front hairline, held firmly in place while maintaining a glassy sheen. Whether worn down, half up, or swept up into a chic chignon, you will not see nary a messy or textured bun this season.
