The heat of summer is now hitting us hard in Austin. That means we are hitting pools, lake, oceans, and basically any body of water that our bodies will fit in in order to cool off. Between the heat, the water, the sun, the drying effects of air conditioning, your hair can end up looking dull and lifeless. Fortunately for you, we at Shag now have a new treatment that will come to your rescue. We are excited to now be providing the KEVIN.MURPHY Treat.Me Anti-Aging deep conditioning treatment!

All Kevin Murphy products have been created with the idea that they are skin care for your hair and this deep conditioning treatment is like the facial of your skin care routine. Products are designed to weightlessly deliver performance, strength, and longevity. When searching the world for ingredients, KEVIN.MURPHY looks for companies using micro cultivation, organic growing practices or ecologically-sound wild harvesting techniques to ensure the KEVIN.MURPHY range is of the very highest natural quality. Offering a fashion-focused range of professional hair care products conceived in the world of session styling, the company’s mission is to share cutting edge style via modern technology – straight from the runways of the world to the salon floor, from hair artisan to consumer.

Whether you are experiencing the hormonal effects of ageing or not, this treatment will rejuvenate your hair, increase shine, and improve hair quality and elasticity. Fruit Stem Cells help to repair and provide revolutionary anti-ageing and rejuvenation of youthful lustre and shine to dry, brittle hair.  It helps to repair and restore hair from chemical, thermal, and UV damage.

By using skincare ingredients like Moringa Oil and Gardenia Extracts in the structure of a serum, the treatment is able to work with a smaller molecular structure where the ingredients can absorb into the cortex, giving instant and lasting results and repairing the damage the Texas summer can rage on your hair. In particular, this treatment uses Orchid and Lotus Flower extracts to give your hair youthful lustre and shine while fighting follicular ageing. Key ingredient Baobab Oil provides moisture while improving elasticity and tone.

The treatments are kept in separate bottles. That was done so to remove the need for a chemical stabilizer, which can take the “life force” from a product. The idea is to keep the active ingredients apart until just before the application. Mixing the two actives together is how you get the great reaction between the two substances – you just can’t get that kind of reaction in a jar or a tub of cream. So when your stylist looks like a mad professor mixing your treatment just remember that your hair is going to benefit from pure ingredients in their most basic form. The products are full strength with a high concentration of active ingredients.

Are you ready to get vitality and shine back to your ‘do? Are your ready to repair the damage that life is throwing at you this summer? Ask your stylist for the Kevin.Murphy Treat.Me Anti-Ageing treatment and remember that your hair doesn’t need to be suffering from the effects of ageing in order to experience the extreme benefits of this treatment. You will thank your Austin hair stylist!

neuLASH REVIEWS

“I purchased this serum after removing my lash extensions that had ruined my natural lashes and left me with almost nothing to work with! I saw results in 2 weeks, honestly! This 100% works! I’m so glad I made the purchase. I’ve had my bottle for 2 months now and estimating to have it for at least 6 months if not longer. I did not have any side effects and I have very sensitive skin. I am very satisfied with the product and will continue to purchase in the future.” MoniMc

“I’ve always had sparse lashes and noticed that they’re not growing back as quickly like they used to. I literally had no lashes on the outer half of my right eye and got tired of filling them in with pencil. So I decided to give Neulash a try and noticed new growth by the 2nd week. By the 4th week I had a full set of lashes! Hallelujah! Afterwards, I started to notice them getting longer and that some lashes were slightly longer than others but it was no big deal- they’re not supposed to look perfect. Knowing the results of this amazing serum, I’m planning to get the Neubrow.

FYI- during the 1st week, I noticed a slight sun burn sensation at the base of my lash. But the lid wasn’t pink or irritated. I decreased usage to every other night and that ‘tingly’ sensation quickly went away. This was mentioned in the manual.” Gld_Phoenix

“After one week of using Neulash my lashes curled on their own; I don’t have to use curlers any more. It takes 3 weeks to get longer lashes.” Leena Shaverdi

“Grow long, thick black lashes. You need to apply every day for a week or so, then about every other day after. I even went down to one time a week. Some of my lashes were so long, I had to trim them!” SmartShopper

The holidays are over, but don’t let that stop you from wearing your festive reds and other dark shades.
