Wella’s Koleston Perfect Line of Permanent Hair Color has gone through an entire revamp of the line….new pretty Peacock feather boxes, and a new science they refer to as: TRILUXIV TECHNOLOGY, which separates the hair color process into 3 stages of the way the color works and imparts 69% MORE shine than hair without Wella hair color. Something I have been trying to impress on you all from Day 1 of the Blog. Wella reigns for imparting shine into the strands of many a bombshell . . .
What’s new?
- Koleston Perfect’s new and improved formula for even more expressive color result
- More intensive, vibrant colors, with now even better color balance!
- The big selection of color with exciting new nuances, where you surely can find the exact right nuance to fit you.
- Long-lasting. Especially in the reds range. Koleston Perfect Vibrant Reds now last even longer – up to 15%!
- Remarkable shine! What would you say to up to 69% more shine when compared with untreated hair?
- Unbelievably! Not just better, but also more gentle! New Koleston Perfect is now even more gentle for a worry-free color with no regrets
Also there are 2 completely new Tonal Categories : /17 and /38.
The following Testimonial is the third positive response + PLUS my own, I have had to this new tone line by Wella in their brand new /38 Line of Permanent Hair Color :
“Just wanted to thank you for the /38 series color suggestion. I get more compliments on my hair color now. The guy that just cut my hair even said he liked it and I did a great job. Thanks again. Heidi “
The 2 new Tonal Categories are /38 - Gold Pearl and /17-Ash Brown
Hopefully we will be able to get our newly MIA; IT guy Andre to “bring-in” Color Samplers for you…they both are nothing short of scrumptious - in my humble opinion….I love them both and they are what the line was missing.
In /17 Ash Brown
there are only two:
9/17
7/17
which means for most Colorists they are trying to save money & space for us. Why…You ask?
Because if you mix 1 ounce of 9/17 with 1 ounce of 7/17 you have created 2 ounces of 8/17.
Much easier than carrying 3 Colors in the cupboard, takes up less space to carry 2 colors than it does 3.
This way we have access to all 3 Colors now, don’t we?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now we have in the brand new /38 Tonal Family called: Gold Pearl, a beautiful color - although normally I would stay very far away from anything with the word “gold” in it. Hair already has too much brass and gold undertones in it, we do not need to be adding more. Although this is an exception, I can see some sort of violet undertone in this color although they have not stated anywhere what the undertones are.. I mean a /3 is a Neutral Gold and an /8 is a Pearl…yet I still can see a very mild violet undertone which is the undertone you want. All 4 colors are beautiful I hope they add them to Color Touch, what a nice present that would be.
I spent an hour trying to find a photo of a hair color that was EXACTLY depicting the /38 Tonal Family and finally found the perfect one - to me its a beigey-pearl . . . . which is a very hard color to find and an even harder color to achieve with hair color. Remember a lot of it (unfortunately) has to do with the existing pigment in your hair as to whether you will achieve the proper color.
As Hair Color technology improves with each and every new year, they will come closer and closer to matching the beautiful shades, no matter what your existing pigment is. I sure hope to be around for those days…..

Do you eat or drink milk products?
Did you know that there is a naturally occurring “sugar” in milk, called lactose? Lactase is an enzyme in our bodies that allows us to digest this milk sugar.
Ever heard of an allergy to milk? Apparently, it’s not an allergy after all because there is, “not an immune response“. (USA Today)
A milk “allergy“is more correctly defined as lactose intolerance: “Lactose intolerance is the inability to metabolize lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, because the required enzyme lactase is absent in the intestinal system or its availability is lowered. It is estimated that 75% of adults worldwide show some decrease in lactase activity during adulthood.”
I came across an interesting article about milk sugar that discusses this in more detail:
“People who are lactose intolerant can’t digest the main sugar -lactose- found in milk. In normal humans, the enzyme that does so -lactase- stops being produced when the person is between two and five years old. The undigested sugars end up in the colon, where they begin to ferment, producing gas that can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, flatulence and diarrhea.”
For more information than you ever wanted to know about lactase, the enzyme (that we don’t all have, and have in differing amounts) allowing us to digest milk products, check out this article in the European Journal of Human Genetics. “Most people cannot drink milk as adults without the symptoms of lactose intolerance, and most lactose intolerance is due to absence of the lactase enzyme in the gut.”
I’ll continue to get my “natural” sugars elsewhere.

Woodward Labs, a leading antimicrobial skin care company, announced today that an independent testing laboratory has confirmed the efficacy of HandClens, an alcohol-free hand sanitizer, against H1N1 flu virus. The test results show HandClens is 99.99% effective against H1N1 virus in 15 seconds. The company will submit these results to the FDA as an addendum to its citizen’s petition from 2003 that details how the company’s patented formula effectively kills 99.99 percent of disease-causing germs.
This is timely as The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recognized that “hand sanitizers that do not contain alcohol may be useful for killing flu germs on hands.” With over a decade of research behind Woodward Lab’s alcohol-free formula, HandClens is an important tool in the battle to stay healthy during flu season.
The testing was conducted by a Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliant, independent third party laboratory following American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International protocol.
“We want the public to recognize HandClens as an effective way to prevent the spread of H1N1 Flu and other germs,” says Marwan Zreik, president of Woodward Labs. “With the H1N1 pandemic expected to continue this fall and a minimal amount of inoculations available, the public needs another level of defense against the spread of micro-organisms and our testing proves that HandClens will help kill the germs that cause illness.”
According to Zreik, “Experts say to wash hands often, but for those times when access to soap and water are limited, the public needs another option. The alcohol-free component of HandClens is especially important in facilities where the flammability and toxicity of alcohol-based sanitizers is a concern.”
Alcohol-free hand sanitizers are safer for children because they are non-toxic, non-flammable and eliminate the risk of alcohol ingestion, as has happened in the recent-past with alcohol-based sanitizers. In addition, alcohol-free products are gentler on the skin and don’t cause drying or cracking.
According to scientific reports submitted to the FDA, also published in both the Journal of School Nursing and Family Medicine Journal, schools that instituted HandClens as part of an overall classroom hand-hygiene program showed as much as a 42 percent reduction in illness-absenteeism in students ages four-to-12 years old.
Woodward Labs aims to help prevent the spread of Swine Flu by continuing to offer special programs to schools, institutions and consumers. This includes online price discounts, free wall dispensers and a free “Simple as ABC, ‘Always Be Clean,’” hand hygiene instruction manual, a comprehensive education program designed by Woodward to help parents and teachers promote the importance of proper hand hygiene to kids and adolescents grades K-8 in a fun and engaging way.
HandClens is available in a variety of sizes including 0.5 oz, 1.7 oz, 8.0 oz and institutional 1.0 liter and 1.8 liter sizes. HandClens has a wonderful green apple scent and is available directly through Woodward Labs and its distributors. For more information, please visit www.woodwardlabs.com.

Sometimes, even extensions just aren’t enough. With a stunning full Hairdo wig, everyone can have the sexy face framing layers Jessica is known for.
Do you have perfect hair, but always wanted to have bangs? Well the Jessica Simpson Bangs may be the perfect solution. These blunt cut bangs attach to your existing hair to create the perfect look. Optionally, you can also attach this clip-in hairpiece to top of your head to add volume where you need it. Furthermore, just like the other two pieces, this Hairdo Bangs features the latest Tru2Life fiber technology.
For the long ponytail that you wish you had but can’t achieve with extensions or a full wig, Hairdo presents the Wrap Around Pony. It’s the one piece that’s missing from everyone’s collection. This Jessica Simpson pony can be attached to any length of hair to give that full voluminous ponytail you need. You won’t need to hassle with trying to grow out full hair or deal with figuring out how to style your wig into an updo.

TCG Industrial Australia, a leader in providing solutions for skin conditions and hair loss treatment options, are pleased to announce the introduction of the Dermaray range of home phototherapy medical devices.
Dermaray systems are designed, constructed and tested in Australia under ISO international quality control standards and supplied with an industry first transferable two year factory warranty. All Dermaray systems feature a unique safety proximity detection system that is able to activate and deactivate the system if unsafe usage is detected providing unparalleled safety to the user.
Dermaray UV is a narrow band UVB-311nm hand held, battery operated and computer controlled medical device for the treatment of chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, acne and atopic dermatitis. It boasts many unique safety features, plus an innovative and intuitive computer operating system that calculates and manages up to 10 individual patients with up to 32 treatment areas in each treatment program.
Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune disease which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. UVB has been used to treat psoriasis for more than 75 years. UVB has been the phototherapy of choice for psoriasis since it was found to be less carcinogenic than UVA and since the development in the late 1980s of a highly efficacious UVB lamp, termed narrow band UVB in the 311nm range.
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder, characterised by white patches on the skin. Vitiligo has proven to respond exceptionally well to treatment with Dermaray UV with approximately 80% of patients experiencing an 80% reduction in their condition.
Dermaray Laser is a 100mW red medical laser based on 660nm technology. The Dermaray Laser Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) system represents the finest quality and most technologically advanced hand held laser system available today. Unique patent pending technology allows the advanced application of more powerful medical laser modules while offering safety features unique to Dermaray Laser that prevent accidental exposure to the visible laser energy.
Dermaray Laser is designed to be a leading home hair loss treatment solution, wound regeneration, wrinkle and scar reduction and physiotherapy. Low Level Laser Therapy has been proven safe and effective between 1~500mW. Other laser combs and laser brushes are based on 1-5mW lasers that are typically found in laser pointers and video game accessories. Laws of physics dictate that to deliver the required amount of energy required for measurable medical results quickly and efficiently over the scalp, stronger lasers are required as used in Dermaray Laser systems.
Dermaray UV sells for $695 USD and Dermaray Laser for $895 USD.
More information on the Dermaray UV for skin conditions or the hair loss treatment solution Dermaray Laser is available from Nick Balgowan at TCG Industrial, Unit 3, 6 Barnett Court, Morley, WA 6062 Australia. Telephone: (+61) 8 9370 4038 or web: www.dermaray.com.

Australian’s can now enjoy a hair-free summer with the recent launch of innovative new hair removal device, no!no!. Clinically proven to reduce hair growth over the long-term. Unlike laser, no!no! provides pain free hair removal in the comfort and privacy of the home.
Developed in Israel by Radiancy Inc, a world renowned supplier of IPL and laser equipment, no!no! is clinically proven to reduce hair regrowth by up to 64% in six to 12 weeks (when used twice a week). While no!no! can be used for short term hair removal, its long term results will save money and time in the future, helping Australian’s stay carefree and hair-free for longer.
no!no! utilises new scientific heat-based technology, Thermicon which allows no!no! to remove hair and prevent it from growing back. By gliding no!no! across the skin, the heated blades painlessly dissolve hair along the surface. Simultaneously, the thermodynamic hot blade wire transmits a heated pulse down the hair shaft to the root, destroying the hair. Thermicon technology is patented and exclusive to no!no!.
Similar to IPL or laser procedures, the repeated gliding movement conducts heat into the follicle and gradually blocks communication between the root and the bulb of the hair, consequently disrupting the hair growth cycle. Hair grows back, finer, sparser and lighter. There are many reported cases of hair never growing back. Unlike laser procedures, no!no! also removes blonde and grey hairs.
no!no! can be used on the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and back. Available in hot pink and black, (and in limited edition blue at MYER this Christmas) no!no! is ideal for men and women and suitable for all skin types.
The complete no!no! pack retails for $289 and includes a no!no! device, two blades for long hair and one blade for stubble hair, exfoliating pad, cleaning brush, instructional DVD and carry pouch. no!no! blades are designed to last for up to three hours (or up to two months depending on use) and unlike razors, the replaceable blades are self-sanitizing.
Without the cost and discomfort of laser procedures, the mess of creams and pain of waxing, Australians now have a painless, cost-effective and convenient method to remove unwanted hairs long-term.
Stockists: Myer, Shaver Shop, pulse pharmacy, Roy Young Chemist and Harrison’s Pharmacy
RRP $289.00
