Undercut

Undercut is an extremal type of a haircut with any part of your head cut very short(compare to the rest of your hair) or even shaven.
Undercut can be done on short, medium and even long hair.

 

pH of the hair

pH(potential hydrogen)

The pH scale is used from 0(acidic) to7(neutral) to14(alkaline).

Virgin Hair pH=3.67

Scalp pH=5.5

Water pH=7.0

Skin pH=5.5

Pediatric shampoos “no-tear” pH=7.0

Alkaline pH (any product applied on hair that has pH higher than 3.67) may increase the negative electrical charge of the hair fiber surface and increase friction between the fibers. This may lead to cuticle damage and fiber breakage. It is a reality and not a myth that lower pH of shampoos may cause less frizzing for generating less negative static electricity on the fiber surface.

This is one of the reasons why we use conditioners.  Conditioners have positively charged polymers (cations) that will quench those negative charges.  They deposit on the hair and at the same time they provide lubrication to the fibers among other things

After using a shampoo of pH higher than 5.5, conditioner of low-pH should be applied so that besides lubricating, the electrostatic forces can be neutralized, the frizz effect eliminated and cuticle scales may be sealed.

Hair Dusting

Hair dusting is a technique when hairstylist cut only damaged ends on the surface of the hair.

Definition of Balayage

Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint and also called as freehand painting technique.

It allows for a natural-looking effect, with subtle, less noticeable regrowth lines than with regular foil highlights. Balayage is applied on the surface and not saturated through the section until the very tips. It grows out beautifully and more naturally so you don’t get an obvious regrowth line and can wear it for longer between appointments. It’s low maintenance, more natural, and is a modern technique that’s much more flattering. Healthy hair is attractive hair and that’ll never go out of fashion. Balayage gives a gorgeous healthy finish that looks nature-enhanced, glossy and expensive. It can be natural or strong, whatever you want, it’s all about the application technique.
