When it comes to creating the best haircare products in the world, Philip Pelusi is like a master chef. Not only selecting the very best ingredients but also his use of Micro Emulsion Technology to perfect the size of these ingredients for the best penetration but also to create incredibly unique proprietary blends that make his products one of a kind.

One of these blends is The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend consisting of 6 natural plants; Matricaria, Asafetida, Sage, Horseradish, Grapeseed and Blackberry. These natural wonders arm the hair and scalp with a quadruple threat against harmful conditions serving as Antioxidants, Ultra-Violet Ray Filters, Strengthening Proteins and Weightless Moisturizers. The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend is found in P2 Potion, the first product created to contain this totally unique ingredient blend, but it is also peppered throughout the P2 product line. Here’s why this revolutionary blend benefits the hair and scalp.
The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Antioxidants to help protect hair color from fading and to help protect the hair from hair-degrading free-radical pollutants. How does this work? Once hair has been touched by ammonia (present in hair color) it leaves a small oxidative footprint, even after being properly cleanses away, that will cause oxidation (fading). The antioxidants in The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend will dramatically help slow this process. Free radical pollutants (pollutants present in the air) also land on the hair and skin degrading or weakening the hair fabric. Again, The Pelusi Matrix Blend helps guard against this.

The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as UV Filters to help protect hair and scalp from the degrading rays of the sun. Did you know the sun can give hair a sunburn similar to skin? It’s true! The Ultra-Violet Rays of the sun degrade the collagen and elastin in the skin, but it also erodes the protein in the hair. Day to day and most definitely prolonged exposure to the sun means weak, porous, tangled, dry, dull and faded color.

This is because UV Rays erode the cuticle and eventually the cortex of the hair leaving hair porous and vulnerable to even more damage from color, chemicals and heat styling. We know that once enough protein is chipped away, hair strands thin and eventually break off. Nothing can permanently block sunlight, but with consistent application of The Pelusi P2 Matrix blend through various products such as P2 Potion, we can help prevent and reduce sun damage, helping to protect beautiful hair and color investments alike.
The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Strengthening Proteins that not only help make hair more resilient to damage (color, chemical, heat, styling) but also help create slip to the surface of the hair helping with detangling. They also help fill in broken cuticle sights making hair feel smooth and look shinier.
The Pelusi P2 Matrix Blend serves as Weightless Moisturizers that help hydrate hair and scalp. This means better protection while heat styling, better detangling and a smoother hair surface. Great for before and after sun exposure too but with a light natural feel. Nothing heavy or sticky.

Healthy looking hair never goes out of style but for Spring 2024 it’s a foundational mind shift, and surprisingly it seems both clients and stylists are on the same page from the get-go. We’re seeing a positive shift with consumers not only willing but wanting to put the work in up front before even getting to their styling product application.
Today is seems creating an environment for and maintaining healthy hair is getting a new level of respect including the inclination towards no-heat styling or at least making pre-heat protection a priority for this season’s natural looking and easy-care hair trends, specifically Bobs, they’re back if you haven’t heard!

Although some of this season’s trends are worn smooth and chic such as a blunt cut bob, most looks for Spring 2024 call for volume and body. This seems true of both natural textures and hot tooled styles alike. One of the most noteworthy examples of this big volume trend is style chameleon actress and singer Zendaya’s recent beautiful baroque bob which has that old Hollywood glam vibe.

One of the best ways to describe this current big volume trend is if you put Mary Tyler Moore’s hairstyle from the 60’s into a time machine and modernized it for 2024. Soft and feminine with big and bold volume. We’ve been creating these voluminous styles while still meeting the consumer demand for healthy scalp ingredients by recommending our Tela Life Force Fountain of Hair Vitality Serum, also part of the Tela Life Force Collection.

This is an all in one, multitask style and treatment serum fits perfectly with today’s healthy scalp trend. We use the Tela Vitality Serum as a primer to pre-treat the scalp and prep the hair. Massage 4-6 pumps onto the scalp and throughout the length of hair to impart light to moderate texture. Tela Vitality Serum provides hydration, shine and smoothing benefits. It can also be applied as part of a weekly deep treatment with the Tela Probiotic Hair Mask to amplify the strengthening benefits.
It contains the Tela Hair Immunity Complex™with Pre and Probiotic Enzymes, Fermented Kelp Extract and the Hydro-Charged Ceramide Complex to help create brilliant shine, moisturized and stronger hair, reduced frizz and thermal protection. And it helps body and volume last longer throughout the day.
As another option to hit the healthy big volume mark, we are also recommending our P2 by Philip Pelusi RepairHair Smart Styling Treatment which leaves the hair with even more texture than the Tela Vitality Serum. It is normally applied to damp hair prior to any other styling product, but P2 RepairHair can also be applied to dry hair prior to flat or curling iron work or hot roller set making it totally unique. It instantly turns your heat styler into a deep conditioning tool.
P2 RepairHair contains our proprietary, highly specialized Wheat Protein Micro-emulsion which through Microemulsion Technology are the right molecular size to easily penetrate damaged sites, providing thermal protection and heat activated strengthening meaning the heat from styling tools creates a much deeper and quicker penetration.
By filling in these porous openings in the hair strand, color molecules are retained more securely, significantly reducing color fade. This modern day leave-in treatment is a quick and effective way to add strength and hair structure resulting in longer lasting styles and more volume. And it improves the condition of any hair texture. Check out these other voluminous styles created by Philip Pelusi and his Design Teams over the years…
