What makes a great hair product?
A great hair product makes styling easier and last longer. Sounds simple and it really is. However, getting to the point where you have the right product, and understand how to use it, is the hard part. Having a stylist that uses product to extend longevity and versatility of the looks created in the salon will ensure you 're on the right track.

Do hair products cause build up on my hair?
Yes some products cause chemical reactions with metals in hair and can coat the cuticle layer. This is why grey hair, which has a much less metals in the hair, generally isn't prone to build up. * An important side-note is that great hair products have been thoroughly tested, for build up and anything else that could be undesirable.

Who approves the final product vesions?
This is a great question and is probably the most important decision that affects what makes a product great. In most case the decision isn't even made by someone who does hair. Editorial stylists need to do more than one look on models during a single shoot or fashion show. Bumble and Bumble's products are created for the demands of their top stylists. The products are meant to get the job done, then allow the hair to be brushed out with little effort and certainly without build up. Can your products do that?

Should I change my products occasionally to avoid buildup?
Clients tend to ask this question from time to time. I find that people want to change the "feel" of their style much more often than they want to change their style. Nothing is better than using a new product to spice up the look or to refine the message. Also I find that usually the hair style will become more flat, or more full, too full or too flat. Use appropriate products that help control shapes and textures so you can enjoy your style between salon visits.

I've just moved to Hawaii and my hair's texture has gone nuts! Are there humidity specific products to help my hair stop frizzing out?
Definitely! Hawaii has the highest year-round humidity levels of anywhere in the US. Styling hair with products that work against or with humidity will certainly help make your hair's texture look its best and stay that way longer. Working in Hawaii has made me realize that product advice from mainland companyies are often scoffed at by my clients with ethnic hair textures. Every one of my clients is given specific product recommendations and along with instructions on how to customize hair products and styling techniques to work in their favor.
