Foam Lift Plus color hold (FLP) and Foam Mousse Plus color hold (FMP). Plant extracts provide maximum color hold, preventing fading while keeping the hair in optimum condition.

FLP is unique in that it can be targeted at the root area or dispersed all over the hair for a medium flexible hold. Its non-sticky formula gives the hair body and bounce while increasing its level of shine. The schnozzle and aerosol delivery system places FLP exactly where you want it. Unlike other mousses, FMP’s weightless foam is able to pump up styles on all types of hair while maintaining a touchable feel. It protects the hair from heat while maintaining extreme color hold. For eliminating frizz, increasing shine and getting maximum style control FMP is the Smart Solution. Both products are applied to towel-dried hair, combed through for an even application, and then style as desired. An even application is important to help prevent color fade out. An economical price of $6.99 to salons makes both FLP and FMP a great buy in any economy.

01-1-08 DENNIS BERNARD'S TCA PROCESSING CLAIMS REINFORCED

After over twenty years of DBI marketing the benefits of TCA, The Color Accelerator, usage with or without heat, and safe-fast processing with color/chemical services, recent articles published have vindicated fast processing with heat. "It is a pleasure after all these years of reading testimonials about the benefits of TCA from stylists worldwide, to now read findings that validate what we have been sharing with stylists for years", states Dennis Bernard, President/CEO, DBI . Renowned chemists such as Frauke Neuser, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Proctor and Gamble, Hair Care division findings include, "Like all chemical reactions, color formulation can be accelerated by adding energy to the system-the simplest being heat...it is reassuring to know that most professional haircolor's are stable up to about 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature that no one will want to use on a client at any rate." The low dryer heat which accelerates TCA is never more than 10 degrees above room temperature and far below Dr Neuser's findings. "TCA goes way beyond fast processing with or without heat as it prevents fadeout including reds, improves the condition of the hair and leaves the hair with tremendous shine.", adds Dennis Bernard.
