Sunshine? Check! Swimsuit, sun glasses, sandals? Check, check, check! The warm sun feels tranquil and relaxing but yet can be very damaging to our hair. UV rays degrade hair, breaking down the keratin content, causing dull, dry hair and faded color. So, our summertime checklist needs to include some essential sun protection for our tresses.
We have always included UV protectants as part of every Philip Pelusi haircare formulation. But we pay extra attention to sun protection when it comes to guarding our guest’s haircut and color investments during the summertime. This credo pairs perfectly with this summer’s effortless looking cuts and colors, easier styling routines, and the return to natural dry hairstyles.
The Shaggy Lob combines three key elements; traditional 70’s shag layers, the collarbone length of the Lob bob haircut, and curtain bangs. To create this light, breezy haircut, our Philip Pelusi Trend Team applied their precision skills garnered from our Volumetric The Pelusi Method Organic Haircutting System. The goal is to create a custom Shaggy Lob cut unique to each individual client, taking into consideration texture, density, growth patterns, fall lines, and the shape of the head.
And equally important to the haircut’s shape is maintaining the condition of sun exposed hair with proper hydration and protection. This is our thought process behind our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum. UVA/UVB sunlight protectants Sunflower Seed Extract and Chlorophyllin help provide maximum protection of the hair fiber from color fadage and tensile strength degradation due to UV exposure while unique ultra-lux hydrating oils help replenish lost moisture due to sun exposure, heat styling and hair coloring.
We added USDA Certified Organic Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, well known as Sachi InchiOil, to our Tela Beauty Organics Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum. It’s rich in plant protein and fatty acids Omega 3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids to strengthen, hydrate and help with heat protection. This incredible ingredient is also rich with hair protective antioxidants Vitamins A and E that help ward off environmental pollutants while helping slow the oxidative process that fades hair color.
Cold-pressed, USDA Certified Organic Quinoa Seed Oil penetrates the cuticle and cortex to smooth, strengthen and enhance hair. Organic Quinoa, contains all 8 essential amino acids as well as Vitamin E helps create brilliant shine, hydrated stronger hair, reduced frizz and heat protection. And USDA Certified Organic Jamaican Black Castor Oil, rich with Vitamin E and Omega 9 Fatty Acids, adds incredible shine and moisture as well as anti-frizz action.
Apply Tela Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum to damp hair and scalp every morning prior to any other styling groom, similar to how one would apply a face SPF prior to cosmetics. A dime to nickel size amount should do the trick, apply starting at the ends working up towards and including the scalp.
To help keep summer hair color from fading, we recommend our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+ along with a full Philip Pelusi Haircare product system. We apply our Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ to the hair both in the actual color formula for the service but also as part of the guests at home regular conditioning regimen for added color investment protection.
This product is so important all year-round but its incredible sun protection abilities make it absolutely essential in the summer. Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ contains a deep penetrating, substantive Sunflower Seed Extract to help provide superior UV protection. Sunflower Seed Extract is three times more effective against UV radiation helping protect color and strength and improving color-loss protection during shampooing by 38%. Plus has a strong antioxidant function against free radicals that degrade hair strength and color.

Shaggy Lob
This summer’s Shaggy Lob trend echoes the style ethos of the 1970’s but more importantly it represents an elegant and easy styling option for warm summer weather. This look was recently made famous by actress Jenna Ortega, star of the hit Netflix series “Wednesday”, as she cut her long locks into this now uber popular hair trend. Harkening back to “the Rachel”, a.k.a. Jennifer Aniston’s famous haircut, Ortega helped put today’s Shaggy Lob on the map for this season. And we’ve included the Shaggy Lob as part of our Trend Team’s Spring/Summer Presentation and Salon Training.The Shaggy Lob combines three key elements; traditional 70’s shag layers, the collarbone length of the Lob bob haircut, and curtain bangs.

Sun Kissed Tips
To give summer haircuts a beachy look, we like this season’s low maintenance and low commitment hair color trend Sun Kissed Tips to help create that vibe. Soft lighter streaks frame the face and are placed strategically at the ends of the hair to give the appearance of a week at the beach but without the harsh damage of the sun. This color style is relaxed and works no matter the texture. Plus, this Sun Kissed color trend can last through the summer and doesn’t require any serious upkeep, something today’s consumer really likes. Then when they are ready to make a Fall seasonal hair color transition, we’re there.To help keep summer hair color from fading, we recommend our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+ along with a full Philip Pelusi Haircare product system. We apply our Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ to the hair both in the actual color formula for the service but also as part of the guests at home regular conditioning regimen for added color investment protection.

Sunflower Seed Extract is three times more effective against UV radiation helping protect color and strength and improving color-loss protection during shampooing by 38%. Plus has a strong antioxidant function against free radicals that degrade hair strength and color.
Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ also containsa Coconut-Derived Microemulsion that is an optimized blend of coconut-derived emulsifiers that enhance penetration of the UV protective agents, providing the Cystine and Tryptophan present in hair’s keratin by creating a protective shield on the cuticle surface and sealing in the hair color and protecting its strength. It provides complete Tryptophan protection, reduces frizz even in high humidity and provides a 37% improvement in moisture content. The Coconut Protein Micro-emulsion also scores high on flexabrasion strength test meaning hair is more resilient to breakage resulting in healthier, stronger, shinier, more manageable hair and unsurpassed color protection.
Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ works in a totally unique way with another key ingredient, our proprietary Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex. It helps strengthens hair’s internal structure up to 3x’s more than that of untreated hair. Its small molecular structure is designed to penetrate deeply into the cortex creating new bonds that help strengthen hair fiber similar to the levels in virgin hair. Not permanently, nothing can do that, but with repeated use Tela Color Lock+ creates an environment for the hair to act, look and perform like healthy hair.
Fiber Restore Pelusi Plexacts like an oxidation shield to help protect color treated hair from surfactant or water stripping, so important especially since water is the #1 color fader. Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex significantly reduces leakage of color molecules during and after shampooing by helping restore this shield naturally found in healthy hair. This helps create long lasting color retention and conditioning effects as well as incredible vibrancy and shine.
We also added our Tela Enhancing Blend containing Sophora Flavenscens (Ku SHEN), Ganoderma Lucidium (Reishi Mushroom) Lycarum Barbarum (Wolfberry) and Rehmannia Glutinosa (Chinese Foxglove). Our proprietary blend provides superior color protection benefits and helps protect hair fabric from free radical pollutant and sun damage.

Natural Texture
Natural Texture thankfully remains a cornerstone trend this summer season, perfect for easy natural air drying. Any wave or curl pattern works here as well as any shape or style of haircut. The trend calls for embracing and celebrating whatever the natural texture is. And for those who’s texture needs a boost or to create loose waves in straight hair, grab one of today’s super popular hair wavers, along with a heat protecting groom, to help perfect or create some faux texture.
Whether hair is exposed to the heat of a hair waver or the UV Rays of the sun, hair needs protection. We recommend our P2 by Philip Pelusi Potion. This weightless groom contains eight plant derived UV protectants that help shield the scalp and hair’s color and strength. Our proprietary Philip Pelusi Matrix Blend comprised of Matricaria, Sage, Horseradish, Asafetida, Blackberry and Grape Seed as well as Fennel and Chlorophyllin/Copper Complex help protect UV Rays helping to lessen their damaging impact to the hair and scalp.
Because Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants and algae their green color and traps light needed for photosynthesis in plants, it makes an excellent light absorber. As a UV protectant it helps protect hair from the harmful rays of the sun that can degrade hair fabric causing loss of tensile strength and color. We formulated P2 Potion additionally with Guar Bean and USDA Certified Organic Baobab Seed Oil to help create lustrous slip helping to detangle natural texture but more importantly helps reduce frizz but with zero weight. Hair is left with volume yet remains light and airy.
P2 Potion should first be applied to clean, conditioned, damp hair and combed through with a wide tooth comb. Not only is P2 Potion an excellent detangling agent, but this application method will help more evenly distribute the product for easier styling, reduced frizz and better overall sun protection. Be sure to lightly massage onto the scalp as well. Next, using opening fingers, tousle the hair at the root area. This can work best with the head tipped upside down. Slide the fingers in like a comb, and gently shake the root area back and forth a few times. This action wakes up the natural texture after being combed smooth with product.
To style, either natural air dry or attach a cone-diffuser to your hairdryer and lift and support the waves while drying. This takes the weight off the length of the hair allowing the waves to dry in a better curl or wave formation. P2 Potion can also be applied and scrunch dried if hair is on the straighter side as it provides any texture additional sun protection.
P2 Potion is so lightweight it can be applied repeatedly while at the beach or poolside for on-going summer sun protection. Its amazing styling properties also help hair looked groomed while outdoors in the summer wind or salt air.
