As I begin to plan for the next decade of products, I wanted to give you a chance to voice some of your ideas, in terms of products that you would like to see from Avlon & Syntonics in the next decade. We have had a very successful 25 years of operation, and most of that success stems from the feedback that we have received from the marketplace.
I recently had the pleasure to be interviewed by Gennifer Miller, founder of Healthy Textures. We covered a broad array of topics that I think might help create some clarity with regards to the science behind haircare.
Here is a snippet from the interview:
You can listen to the whole interview in its entirety at her site, www.healthytextures.com.
Trace elements usually get overlooked since thay have an average concentration of 100 parts per million in a sample, but it still is good to know for general knowledge purposes that even our human hair fibers contain certain trace elements such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, zinc, iron, manganese, mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, selenium, silicone, and phosphorous. However, some of these same trace elements may also be on the surface of hair due to environmental pollution. During the straightening of curly hair fibers with No-Lye relaxers that consist of a mixture of calcium hydroxide and guanidine carbonate, hair fibers do adsorb significantly higher levels of calcium ions.
Washing the hair with hard water can also leave mineral deposits (such as calcium or magnesium) on the hair. In an instance like this, The KeraCare De-Mineralizing Wipes would be a good product to use after washing with the hard water, in order to ensure that the hair has been cleansed of mineral deposits.
