How
it works: This three-part system determines your hair type and level
of damage, and then adds shine and strength with the appropriate
Redken products to cleanse, seal the cuticle and add gloss that
lasts for at least three weeks.
The Chemistry System is formulated
to transform the hair's condition so it "recovers" its
natural, healthy state. If the hair's cortex is damaged, the cuticle
has been damaged too. Each hair shaft has seven to twelve layers
of cuticle scales which protect the cortex. In healthy hair, the
scales are flat and compact. In distressed hair, the cuticle is
abraded. Distressed hair is weakened hair. There are many different
factors that can cause some level of distress to the hair.
Chemical Distress
Chemical services such as hair color, bleaching, perming or straightening
can result in chemically distressed hair. These alkaline services
cause the cortex to swell, forcing the cuticle layers to stretch
and weaken. During the coloring, perming and straightening processes,
hair bonds are actually broken. The results are a reduction in elasticity,
an overall weakening of the proteins and internal structure of the
hair and a visible negative effect on the external appearance.
Mechanical Distress
Normal wear and tear from blow-drying, thermal irons, and everyday
brushing can also weaken the hair. This type of damage is called
"mechanical". Friction and heat can weaken the hair fiber,
create split ends, cause a "ruffling" effect on the cuticle
and a disorganized interior.
Gentle acid pH color use, while not an alkaline service, can also
cause hair to be distressed.
The Power of Acid-Balanced pH
Damage can change the pH of the hair causing it to swell. The hair
fiber is most swollen when it is very acidic or very alkaline. When
the pH of the hair falls in the middle (between 4.5 and 5.5) it
is considered balanced because it has less water in it (less swelling)
and is therefore stronger.
The second step of the Chemistry System, pHix pHase, works to
rebalance the pH of the hair to minimize swelling and maximize the
action of specialized ingredients. The adjustment to the pH leaves
hair in its most compact, healthy, shiny condition. Using acid-balanced
products, the 2- or 3-step Chemistry System service works to make
the hair look and feel stronger, healthier and more beautiful. Putting
the power to transform in your hands. |
