As you may already know, the line features three items, the Gentle Cleansing Shampoo, the Hair & Scalp Nutritive Conditioner, and the Leave-In Conditioning Mist.
The first item in the system, The Gentle Cleansing Shampoo, is a gentle yet effective sulfate- and amide-free formula that removes residue from the hair, and eliminates dry, flaky skin and oily build-up from the scalp. Its been designed to nourish the client's natural hair, and add the lightest touch of conditioning to the commercial hair for body, shine, and tangle-free combability. Formulated with the phyto extract, Calendula, it moisturizes the hair and soothes the scalp.
The second item in the system, The Hair & Scalp Nutritive Conditioner, contains Calendula and an exclusive quaternium conditioning blend to keep the client's natural hair hydrated and in excellent health. The commercial hair is appropriately conditioned for exceptional shine and manageability, but not weighed down or coated with heavy conditioners. It also helps control the scalp challenges of weave and braid wearers. Tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and menthol provide a refreshing tingle as the scalp is exfoliated and sloughed, and they also aide in triggering a healthy circulation of the scalp.
The third item, The Leave-In Conditioning Mist, beautifully prepares weaves and extensions for wet-to-dry styling, providing blow-dry protection to both natural and commercial hair. It detangles for effortless combing, and features a masterful blend of moisturizing silicones and quaternium conditioners to impart optimal hydration and silkening. Calendula was also integrated into the lightweight and anti-static formula as well as an aromatherapy fragrance to enhance your client's salon experience.

The Gentle Cleansing Shampoo can take care of all of these bacteria, something which no other weave or extension shampoo is currently capable of. Be sure to leave the shampoo on the scalp for a good five minutes in order to allow the shampoo to effectively kill all of the bacteria.
I would also advise you to discourage your client from scratching their scalp with their fingernails or any other objects. There is a small probability that scratching can puncture the scalp, allowing for the bacteria present on the scalp to transfer into the bloodstream, which could then possibly lead to serious illnesses.
These are very interesting findings and further research will be required. I do not mean to scare anyone into buying products, but I did want to share our findings as well as some of our reasoning behind the line. In the meantime, keep your nose to the grindstone.
Citrobacter, Staphylococcus Aureus, Staphylococcus Sp, Malassezia Furfur are four that are.......commonly present.
Citrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative coliform bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family.
The species C. amalonaticus, C. koseri, and C. freundii use solely citrate as a carbon source. These bacteria can be found almost everywhere in soil, water, wastewater, etc. It can also be found in the human intestine. They are rarely the source of illnesses, except for infections of the urinary tract and infant meningitis.1[2]
Citrobacter shows the ability to accumulate uranium by building phosphate complexes.[
How does Citrobacter make its way onto a human's scalp?
Malassezia Furfur is described as being lipid dependent but not lipophilic. Does your studies find this to be a fact?
Can you give an example between the two (lipid dependent and lipophilic)because I'm not seeing a difference?
Malassezia Furfur grows in the presence of oils, or lipids more readily. Its growth takes place more readily in the lipid culture or environment.
Bacteria! Bacteria! Bacteria! All the more reason for hair care specialist's immune system to be healthy and strong. Is it time to wear rubbers gloves??
