Tips and Tricks to deal with being young and balding!

For all you guys in denial and pretend that others(especially girls) don't notice...we do.  there is a ton of things with all kinds of maintenance or cost attached to them...i'm here just to give some great pointers on what i know at least.

#1 products

nioxin does not help it's just full of chemicals and nothing really going on except for a waste of money.  Use something professional but suited to your hair type to keep your hair that you do have left healthy as well as your scalp.  my choices are:

davines energizing shampoo 24$
davines energizing stimulating tonic $68
kevin murphy staying alive leave in conditioner $25
Kevin murphy angel wash and rinse Eash $25

They all are naturally derived products that have different ingredients to help stimulate circulation and also prevent hair from our shedding stage to keep it fuller longer.

2. get on the meds!!

It's not for everyone but ask your doctor about propecia or rogaine before it's too late!  you have to continue to use it just like anything else and when you stop they do say your hair will fall out...duh!!  that's why your taking it.

3.  lasers

there are certain laser treatments that also help to stimulate actual hair growth and it is a much more affordable price now adays and it seems to work someone, but it's no miracle fix.

4.  transplants..eeks!!

this is your absolute last resort...it's a pretty crazy surgery and it doesn't look the most natural and is quite expensive...i'm not a huge fan of this...almost better off to be bald...

last but not least is the cheapest most effective(yet temporary) way to fix your problem and give you hair confidence.


I'm in love with it and it works for anyone with skinny, thinning or balding hair!

xfusion fibers

this stuff is a godsend i have gotten many people addicted so far myself included....im not balding but i have fine hair and want more of it!  the system is broken down here:

xfusion fibers comes in 9 shades to match hair  $40
xfusion fiberhold spray to adhere fibers better  $15
xfusion spray applicator for dense and direct application $10 
xfusion hairline optimizer for natural looking hairline $5

for most of my male clients i just like dusting the fibers onto the see through spots without using the applicator or hairline optimizer and it works amazing!!  it only lasts wash to wash so you do have to reply, but it takes seconds and is cheap!  So why not spend $40 to have wicked hair confidence...just saying....

Cameron out!

calgary hair: Kevin Murphy Invasion

calgary hair: Kevin Murphy Invasion: "I have just finally joined the band wagon and loving it!! I had seen KM around for the last 2 years or so and liked the idea of the packagi..."

Kevin Murphy Invasion

I have just finally joined the band wagon and loving it!!  I had seen KM around for the last 2 years or so and liked the idea of the packaging, company mission etc.  but had not really played around with any of the products.  I came from the Aveda roots where you basically use no other THAN Aveda LOL.  Davines was my next love to follow and still is however KM captures some amazing products that work so well for me and compliment my style of hairdressing.  Heres a some of the stuff I'm absolutely loving after having the goods for just over a week now(in no particular order)


1.   BORN.AGAIN MASQUE 
     I've been using this on the most stressed tresses and it truly is a miracle worker.  It says it works instantly on a cellular level with the molecules so small they penetrate right into the cortex(innermost layer of hair) and work from the inside out...I believe it!  I use the treatment at the sink and if there is extra time I like to throw it under heat for 5-10.  There are also moisture, shine, repair and volume treatments this can be used in conjunction with.  Say good bye to cotton fluff hair.


2.  POWDER.PUFF
     Pretty much an addictive drug in a cute little pink bottle.  It's a volumizing powder so typically it is great for fine hair.  I love to use this powder on all hair types.  Fine hair people need the thickness and volume it builds...although people with thick hair aren't necessarily lacking volume there hair is so weighed down naturally that the powder puff really helps to bring life to it.


3.  HAIR.RESORT
    This is KM's twist on sun, salt and sand....scrunch into wavy or curly hair for 30-60 seconds and the quick drying agent(sun) help to give you sexy tousled beach hair with pretty much NO work!  Something that requires no salon skill for an excellent result.


4.  FRESH.HAIR
     This is an aerosol spray that breaks up excess product buildup, natural oils and removes smells.  Whether you wake up late or you really don't want to wake up early enough to wash and style your hair this comes in extremely handy.  I like to spray it onto my hair with pulsating motions then work through with my fingers, KM texture comb or a big paddle brush.  It's also great again for fine hair as it builds the hair shaft and leaves a nice powdery residue.  This guy also comes in a purse friendly size so it can come in extremely handy for traveling or those nights when you stay out dancing till the sun comes up LOL.


5.  SESSION.SPRAY
    My long term ranking #1 hairspray was the NO 7 crystal fixative lacquer for Wizards by Davines.  KM session spray has just bumped that one down to #2.  I love the firm hold it gives yet virtually weightless as it uses resins for firm flexible control also giving great memory to the hair.  I used this hairspray in the muggy environment of London and my hair looked amazing everyday!   My friend and I both became addicted I had to go on an adventure just to buy more of the hairspray because I didn't want to use anything else!


6.  ANTI.GRAVITY
    Last but not lease is this oil free volumizer.  It comes in a nice easy to use cream and doesn't make the hair greasy.  It actually builds the hair shaft making any hair appear thicker and fuller while giving just the right amount of hold to achieve the desired end result whether it be curls, round brush or just shagging out the hair.  


Kevin Murphy also makes these great jet packs which come with almost all my fave products in airplane friendly sizes as well as the bag to go with it.  They come with a mini session spray, fresh hair, hydrate me wash, hydrate me rinse and anti gravity.  They retail for 42$CAN




Again these are just my top pics after a week.  I'm loving them all but haven't had my hands in all of the line just yet ....great tutorials are also available online @ www.kevinmurphy.com.au
