Helping Montrealers look and feel their best is the aim of non-profit Coup de Pinceaux Coup de Ciseaux and Gabriel Julien, its director and co-founder.
The COVID-19 lockdown in Quebec has sent shockwaves through many sectors of society, but one decision by Uniprix in LaSalle particularly perplexed local women like Kyra Milan.
Hydration
Hydrating your hair is key to its health. Natural humectants like honey & shea butter draw moisture directly to your strands while ingredients such as hyaluronic acid form a protective shield around the cuticle to lock in that vitality for healthy strands.
Shampoo plays an integral part in maintaining healthy hair. Like soap, shampoo can remove dirt embedded within your oily layer that naturally coats strands; its molecules have one end that binds with water molecules while another dissolves fat molecules to effectively wash away both dirt and its associated grease and oils from your tresses.
Based on your location, it may also be important to choose an appropriate shampoo for your hair type. Vancouver boasts soft water while Montreal’s hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions that react with soap to form insoluble deposits–known as bathtub rings–that leave behind unpleasant residue that dries and greases up your locks. This kind of residue not only looks bad; it can leave your locks feeling both dry and greasy as well.
Scalp Care
As with the skin on your face, the scalp requires special consideration. It holds numerous hair follicles that produce sebum to nourish the rest of your locks – so treating it with the same degree of attention is vitally important for its wellbeing.
Scalp treatments often include exfoliants to clear away buildup or dead skin cells that could be contributing to itching or flaking. They also typically include moisturizing ingredients that hydrate both scalp and hair to prevent dryness while supporting healthy growth.
Helping Montrealers feel their best is at the core of non-profit Coup de Pinceaux Coup de Ciseaux and Cam & Roro’s mission.
Gloss
Hair glosses (sometimes known as toners) are non-dye treatments designed to refresh and fine-tune color – they serve as the equivalent of top coat for your strands! Unlike dyes which can leave damaged and dry locks behind, glosses contain no ammonia so will leave behind smooth and shiny locks!
People who color their hair often may require touch-ups between appointments; hair gloss can provide an easy and effective solution to keep their color looking vibrant and healthy.
Hair gloss can also help combat brassy locks by restoring their natural hue and postponing any future touch-ups. It can help banish yellow and orange tones as well as any underlying red, brown, or purple shades.
