Hair products

Did you know that choosing the wrong hair product can lead to more work and poorer results, even with top techniques?

In salon practice, it is crucial not to simply grab any bottle of shampoo, but to choose strategically based on the hair's specific needs—whether styling, color, repair, or structure. The right product selection speeds up the work process and delivers visibly better results.

Choose quickly: IF → THEN

• If you see dry, porous, or damaged hair → then Plex & Bond products such as Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector are the most popular safe solution.
• If you need instant volume and hold → then a mousse such as KIS Style KeraMousse 400ml works fastest for blowouts and curls.
• If color retention is a priority → then choose a color shampoo or conditioner such as Calmare Color Care Shampoo 250ml.
• If you want long-lasting hold without stiff hair → then a hairspray such as Schwarzkopf Osis+ Elastic is the practical choice.
• If styling and flexibility must come together → then a pomade such as KIS Style Pomade 150ml is essential at the workstation.

The problem

It often happens that using classic products without focusing on hair type or the desired end result leads to extra work, dissatisfied customers, and unnecessary corrections. In salons where no distinction is made between styling, care, and protective products, routine problems such as dull hair or styling that quickly falls out occur.

Why people choose incorrectly

Many mistakes stem from the assumption that “everything works more or less the same.” This often leads to the use of volumizing products on fine, damaged hair, which can have the opposite effect. Sometimes a standard shampoo is also used when intensive care is necessary.

• Permanent

How do you choose the right one?

To do this effectively, always start with the actual goal: repair, color, styling, hold, or volume. Ask yourself: what is the hair currently lacking—strength, protection, longer-lasting color, hold, or shine? For each situation, one product type will stand out.

For visible repair of chemically treated hair, use a plex product such as Schwarzkopf R-TWO Renewal Sealer 145ml, because it strengthens immediately and prevents frizz.

Important differences

• Plex & Bond products are designed for structural repair, not for daily cleansing.
• Color maintenance only works if you address specific color needs, not as a refresher for natural color.
• Styling products have different effects: mousse provides body, powder provides volume at the roots, and pomade provides flexible shine.
• Conditioners are not interchangeable: use a nourishing one for dry hair, such as Wella Invigo Nutri-Enrich Conditioner, and choose one for color retention when color is the main focus.
• Hair dye and color kits are often confused—choose a complete kit for use in the salon, such as Schwarzkopf Igora Vibrance Home Kit.

Choosing within this collection

For salons where time is essential, a fast-acting, powerful shampoo such as Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is often the most efficient choice to improve structure without extra steps.

Is long-lasting shine and strong hold important for men's styling? Then a pomade such as KIS Style Pomade 150ml is the most reliable option without stickiness.

If color is the central focus, prevent rapid fading by using a specific color shampoo such as Schwarzkopf Goodbye Yellow Shampoo to neutralize unwanted tones.

Common mistakes

• Mixing styling products without a plan: this results in a lack of grip and hold.
• Using a shampoo that is too mild when intensive repair is required.
• Applying color care to untreated hair—this has little effect.
• Forgetting to use heat protection during styling: this leads to breakage and lifeless hair.
• Applying permanent color or dye without first cleaning or pre-treating the hair with purpose.

Expert block

“In busy salons, structural time savings can be achieved by working with purpose from the start.
