Our aim is to bring clarity to the wide-ranging field of hair care treatments and give you a clear idea of what makes each treatment unique and how it can help you achieve the healthy, shiny hair you desire.

Hair treatment (at home)

Hair conditioners are a popular and easily accessible way to nourish and strengthen hair. They are specially formulated to provide hair with the essential nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong.

Efficiency: Hair treatments can be very effective if used regularly. Their effectiveness depends on the ingredients and adherence to the recommended application schedule. When used regularly, conditioners can help improve hair texture, lock in moisture and repair hair damage. Results may be visible after the first application, but continuous use is recommended for long-lasting effects.

Area of application: Hair treatments are ideal for the prevention and treatment of dry, brittle or damaged hair. They are also useful to protect the hair from future damage caused by heat styling, color treatments or environmental influences. They can also be used to prolong the effect of hairdressing treatments.

General differences: At-home hair treatments are a convenient way to incorporate hair care into your regular routine. Compared to salon-based treatments, they are less intensive, but they offer the advantage of being easy and convenient to use. The choice of hair treatments is vast and there are products for every hair type and hair problem. They range from moisturizing and nourishing treatments to protein-rich and repairing formulas specifically designed to strengthen and revitalize hair from root to tip.

By choosing the right treatment for your hair type and your specific hair problem, you can significantly improve the health and appearance of your hair. In general, we can highly recommend the hair treatments from Newsha and Oribe. Since hair treatments are always based on specific requirements, professional advice is useful and necessary.

Hair care (at the hairdresser)

Professional hair care at the hairdresser differs in many ways from hair care at home. Here are some aspects of hair care in the salon:

Individual consultation and analysis: In professional salons, an individual consultation and hair analysis are carried out to understand the exact condition of your hair and scalp. On this basis, tailored care recommendations are then given to meet your specific needs.

High-quality products and technologies: Hair care products are often salon-exclusive and contain highly concentrated active ingredients that provide deeper care and treatment compared to products available for home care. They are also specially designed for professional use and require appropriate training for application.

Lasting results: The results of professional hair care can last between 2 and 10 hair washes, depending on the treatment and hair type. This provides longer relief from hair problems compared to at-home hair treatments.

Post-treatment care: After professional hair care, you will often be given specific care instructions to maintain the results and keep your hair looking its best. This may include using certain products or changing your hair care habits at home.

Improved hair texture and appearance: Salon hair care treatments can improve hair texture and enhance the overall appearance of the hair.

Damage prevention and repair: One of the benefits of hair care treatments is the prevention of hair damage through deep moisturizing and nourishment, which builds hair and reduces split ends. For hair that is already damaged, treatments can help to repair and restore it.

Deep cleansing and conditioning of the scalp and hair: Salon treatments provide deep cleansing of the hair and scalp, which is especially important to remove excess oil, dirt and other buildup.

Control scalp problems: Treatments such as scalp analysis can help control problems such as dandruff and excessive oil production on the scalp.

Customized treatments: Salons offer a variety of treatments that can be customized to meet the specific needs and condition of a client's hair. These customized treatments can be particularly beneficial in addressing and resolving specific hair issues.

Hair Rescue (with Newsha Rescue)

The intensive treatment with Newsha Rescue is a highly specialized treatment system. In the following, the aspects of efficiency, area of application and general differences in comparison to conventional hair care treatments at the hairdresser are highlighted.

Efficiency: Newsha Rescue is a two-phase restorative system that restores the hair structure and protects it from further damage. It consists of a nanotechnology complex of plant keratin and important amino acids. These ingredients are particularly beneficial as they restore the hair's resistance and protect it from further damage.

Application: Newsha Rescue is ideal for repairing severely damaged or chemically treated hair. It is particularly useful for hair that has been damaged by bleaching, coloring, frequent heat styling or daily straightening, as these treatments attack the hair structure, making it porous and drying it out in the long term.

General differences: Compared to regular hair care at the hairdresser, Newsha Rescue offers a specialized treatment to restore hair health or condition. The quality and intensity of the treatment are geared towards a higher level of repair and protection. The highly concentrated active ingredients also set Newsha Rescue apart from most standard salon treatments.

The Newsha Rescue treatment demonstrates how salon hair care has evolved with specialized products and treatments to provide targeted solutions for specific hair problems.

Hair Botox

Efficiency: HairBotox is an intensive treatment that smoothes and rejuvenates the structure of the hair. The special ingredients in Hair Botox work deep within the hair to revitalize it from the inside out. The result lasts for 4-6 months and can be reinforced with further treatments.

Area of application: Hair Botox is particularly suitable for people with dry, damaged hair that leads to frizz. The treatment is also ideal for those looking for a more natural and sustainable hair care option. The focus of Haarbotox is its smoothing effect, which straightens the hair's natural texture without weighing it down or compromising movement. It reduces the effort of daily styling and the use of heat, saving both time and the health of the hair.

General differences: While other conditioning products focus on repairing severely damaged or chemically treated hair, Hair Botox focuses on smoothing the hair, making it an attractive option for individuals looking for a solution to uncontrolled frizz or to make their hair more manageable. The treatments are more expensive than other treatments due to the special ingredients and effort involved, but are justified by the remarkable results. In addition, the results of Hair Botox are long-lasting as they not only provide aesthetic improvements but also promote hair health and well-being.

Conclusion

Individual requirements and preferences: Choosing the right hair treatment depends heavily on individual needs, the condition of the hair and personal preferences. Each treatment offers unique benefits and is tailored to different hair problems.

Care and aftercare: The need and type of aftercare will also vary. Professional salon treatments often provide specific post-treatment care instructions to maintain results and continue to provide optimal hair care.

Long-term solutions versus short-term fixes: While some treatments offer immediate results, others can provide a long-term solution to recurring hair problems. The choice between these treatments depends on your long-term hair care goals.
