Why in-salon conditioning treatments are worth it (and how to tell if you need one)
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of hair tips and tricks out there. The word “treatment” is used by all different brands to describe leave-ins and rinse out conditioners. We are happy to report on one we truly believe in and that demonstrates lasting results: the new R+Co in-salon conditioning treatments!
What are conditioning treatments?
Conditioning treatments have been promoted in our industry for a long time, boasting of increased hair health. But what are they, and do they actually work?
Treatments are specialized masks or sprays which contain properties more potent than hair conditioners alone. A good home care routine can meet many needs, but in-salon treatments are formulated with researched ingredients to penetrate the cuticle layer, the outer layer of the hair strand. Treatments can provide:
improved shine
reduced frizz
more hydration
increased volume
stronger hair with less breakage
deep cleaning and detoxifiying
Who benefits from conditioning treatments?
Each person’s hair is different and can benefit from the customized recommendation our stylists can provide. Our stylist Jon likes to ask his clients: “What do you love about your hair?” and “What challenges are you experiencing?” This helps us to highlight what you like and offer technical guidance where you might need support. Some of the most common hair challenges we see are:
dehydration, or dryness
brittle strands, sometimes resulting in breakage
product buildup
limp, flat hair
damage from heat styling
hair loss
Treatments are a potent tool in addressing these specific concerns, supporting stronger, smoother, and shinier hair.
How do I know what kind of conditioning treatment is right for me?
It’s not always easy to self-diagnose your hair troubles. For example, what you might think is weakened strands might actually be a protein overload resulting in breakage. These scenarios require different treatments. That’s why we recommend always going in to see your hair care professional before trying multiple home care remedies.
At Union Beauty, we have expert stylists with over 100 years of experience combined. Each stylist is skilled at evaluating your hair, listening to your concerns, diagnosing the problem, and recommending the right treatment based on your needs. Once the stylist has chosen the best formula for you, they cleanse the hair with the appropriate shampoo, and if necessary, pre shampoo detoxifying treatment. They then apply the treatments meticulously by sectioning the hair, spraying the treatment, and massaging the conditioner into the individual sections. Finally, they rinse thoroughly and proceed to styling.
Why R+Co treatments?
We partner with R+Co because we love their commitment to high-quality ingredients, sustainable packaging, and ongoing development of the latest hair technologies. R+Co just launched their newest in-salon pro treatments and we love the results! Right off the bat, we’re noticing next level shine and manageability. With three different formulas, the treatments offer something for everyone:
This moisturizing treatment uses a unique complex of lactic acid, vegan peptides and jojoba silk to deeply moisturize and smooth medium to thick, frizz-prone hair for 16 times more hydration and 2 times more frizz control. You will see visibly smoother, shinier hair with increased color vibrancy. We’d recommend this treatment for almost anyone who experiences dehydration and frizz.
This bond-building treatment uses innovative technology to fortify damaged disulfide bonds, offering 3 times stronger and 19 times smoother hair. This treatment leaves the hair smoother, shinier, and healthier-looking with increased color vibrancy. We’d recommend this treatment for blondes or people who undergo chemical treatments.
This volumizing treatment uses the combined benefits of biotin, marine botanicals and rice extract to provide 3 times more volume and 6 times less breakage to fine, weakened hair. The result is fuller, stronger, thicker-looking hair with increased color vibrancy. We’d recommend this treatment for people with thinning or breakage-prone hair.
So, is it worth it??
Our answer: Absolutely, yes! In-salon treatments are an essential part of a complete hair care routine. Our clients are reporting noticeably softer, shinier, and healthier hair even after shampooing. For guests who get color services, the treatments support the luster and brilliance of R+Co color.
Not only do treatments promote greater hair health, but getting pampered for an extra five- ten minutes is worth your time! Our stylists care about your hair and your time at the salon. Why not invest in your hair looking its absolute best in the time you’re here?
