Treatments last around 12-14 weeks and repeating the treatment every few months will allow re-treatment of the new growth.

Causes

Split ends or ‘Trichoptilosis’ happens when the hair’s protective cuticle is stripped away from the ends of hair fibres.. It happens when the natural oils from the scalp fail to reach the ends or when cortex loses moisture and the hair begins to unravel like a rope. Other reasons are; Dry scalp, Exposure to extreme temperature and chemical products like relaxers and hair colour, Lack of nourishment, Excessive dying, Vigorous brushing and backcombing, Use of metallic combs and brushes, Brushing hair when it is still wet, Use of uncovered elastic bands on the hair, Use of satin pillows and repeated use of heated appliances like irons or hair blow dryers.

When the hair is exposed in extreme temperatures or not enough oil or lack of health, it ends with split ends. The cause of splitting is usually related to dry hair, but the dryness and damage can be confined to just the very ends of the hair rather than the entire length. It is in fact very common to find hair, which is in good condition throughout most of its length but splitting along the last few centimetres. As you will appreciate to treat a whole head of hair for dryness when in fact only the ends are in need of care is opening the door to additional problems. Healthy hair is defined by thick, shiny and bouncing hair without split ends.

COLOUR CORRECTION

It is not wise to use colours or permanent tints from the shops; most of our colour correction is done on home hair colourings, which have miscoloured or damaged the hair. This is most apparent with cheap home dyes. Image group London are specialists in colour correction and will help to get your hair beautiful & nourished.

COLOUR

Image group London use top quality products, such as Wella, L’Oreal, Conditioning Colour glossing, permanent colour, quasi colour, toners and High lifting colour. All of our products are salon professional and will leave your hair with amazing colour and shine.

We will always advise you on what is best for you. We then get you back to cut them in if needed and to advise you on how to put in your new clip in extensions. These extensions are a more temporary way to have long hair and are secured with clips that easily and securely clip onto your own hair. They create an amazing look in minutes.

The gem volumiser consists of a small parting like piece with fine hair clips attached. These clips are easily attached to your own hair whilst being discreet and comfortable to wear. The versatile enhancer is made up of high quality real hair that provides extra fullness and can hide away thinning or loss of hair around parting. The gem volumisers comes in various lengths and are cut into your own style. They are able to be blow dried and we are excellent in colour matching so the new hair piece will look so natural you’ll forget it’s there.

We are here to help so please feel free to call where our experienced stylists are on hand with any queries you may have.
