Either way, creating a “cocktail” of products to achieve a particular effect isn’t really new—hairdressers have been doing it for years—but the practice has now evolved into a more formal technique. Naturallycurly.com, a clearinghouse of information for the curlyhaired, has taken the concept to a new level with its collection of “Curly Cocktails.” Designed for highly textured hair, the formulations utilize products from the site’s arsenal of brands, including Redken, DevaCurl, Innersense, Ojon, Circle of Friends, Philip Pelusi Phyto Life, Little Sprout and more. The company is offering the “Curltini,” “Cosmocurlitan,” “Curl & Tonic,” “Hot Buttered Curls” and “Curlaccino.” Each mix appears on a recipe card with precise amounts of products to be combined for the best effects, along with tips for tweaking the formula to refresh a style or combat changes in the weather. Winter-damaged hair needs all the help it can get, and Dennis Bernard, Inc. recommends cocktailing 2-oz of its Smart Solutions Dual-Action Crème Conditioner with 20 drops of TCA (The Color Accelerator) for a deep conditioning spa treatment. A moist towel and 20 minutes of low heat translates into a $100 salon conditioning service. To soothe winter’s dry, dull strands, AG Haircosmetics suggests its Deep Gloss Treatment—a mixed drink of three parts AG Conditioner Deep restructuring treatment, two parts Ultramoist moisture treatment and one part Liquid Varnish smoothing serum. Bain de Terre recommends styling dry hair with Prime Time Chamomile Styling Foundation, a leave-in detangler and styling base, followed by Bain de Terre Anti-Frizz Silky Shine Serum. This double dose of botanicals creates high style with revitalized shine. Joico’s K-Pak brand detoxifies and restores hair. For winter styling, combine K-Pak Intense Hydrator into damp hair and finish the style with K-Pak Smoothing Balm for shine and strength. Perfect your own mixology and follow the example of Naturallycurly.com—your cocktail ingredients can combine products from several brands. —JH MIX IT UP TRENDS 40 NOVEMBER 2007 www.modernsalon.com http://www.Naturallycurly.com http://www.Naturallycurly.com http://www.modernsalon.com
