Here at Ark-i-tec we use L'anza Hair Healing products and colour.  

Here's the science...

L'anza use the latest technology available to keep the product performance ahead of the rest and deliver the strongest, healthiest hair possible.

Seeing that the hair is under constant attack from the environment and more chemical-processing than ever before, L'anza understands that hair needs to be strengthened and fortified to remain strong and healthy. L'anza therapeutic formulas and advanced healing technologies target the causes of hair damage for specific hair types to heal, seal and protect the hair.

Classic Healing products benefit from L'anza's unique Keratin Bond System that takes the same proteins that are found in human hair, combined with moisturizers and luxurious, botanical ingredients to put back into the hair what is lost through today's harsh environment.

For total luxury, L'anza's Advanced Healing products boast the best possible scientific technology. The Advanced Healing System takes the Keratin Healing System one step further with Nano Science to deliver ingredients deeper than ever before into the hair, giving a more intense, longer lasting effect. Plus, these products contain sunscreens UVA, UVB, UVC and are sulphate free, which means that cleansers are extra gentle on the hair, for extra protection against colour fading and scalp irritation.

L'anza leads the way with healing technology.
L'anza is the only brand able to heal the hair through the Keratin Healing System, Triple UV protection, Nano science delivery, Sulphate-Free Shampoos, and the Flower Shield Complex ®.

L'anza's Keratin Bond System and Keratin Healing System creates hair that is stronger, shinier, smoother and more resilient. Using a unique base of Keratin Amino Acids, Meadow Foam Flower Seed Complex and Moisture Retain Complex, L'ANZA products work to add extra moisture to the hair, or replenish it with the protein and strength that it needs to prosper with full health and shine.

Most recently, L'anza introduced the Advanced Healing Collection with the Keratin Healing System, which has increased amounts of Keratin Amino Acids and Healing Actives. Also incorporated into this unique collection is a triple UV protection (UVA, UVB, UVC), Nano Science delivery system, and Sulphate-Free Shampoos. L'anza's Advanced Healing Collection delivers the highest performance cutting-edge formulations and the latest technology possible.

The L'anza Healing Haircolor range is an extraordinary colour that uses the same proven technology from the Healing Haircare ® to provide unsurpassed colour depth, richness, vibrancy, and the longest lasting colour possible. The Color Attachment Technology contains the Keratin Healing System and Flower Shield Complex ® in the Haircolour, Cream Developers, and Decolorizer, delivering colour true-to-tone and level. L'anza Healing Haircolor can be formulated for Permanent, Demi Permanent, and Translucent Colour, creating an exceptionally good value, versatile colour line.

Hello! Hope you all enjoyed your Bank Holiday weekend. We're all back at work now and looking forward to more warm weather and still another bank holiday coming up!

So whats going on this week, well as we have a few of our clients getting their Hair Extensions done for Summer, here is some more information about Great Lengths...

Great Lengths is a world leader in hair extensions, providing versatile, pre-bonded 100% human hair. Our hair is of guaranteed origin and ethicality, and can be used to add length, volume, colour or texture to transform your look. We have over 55 base colours to choose from and blend together as well as limited edition colours and Flowstrands, which combine two colours for a dip-dyed or ombré effect.

1. Hair is Sourced from Indian Temples - Great Lengths are 100% human hair and sourced in India, during Hindu rituals. Women and men’s hair is voluntarily sacrificed and donated to temples by complete shaving of the head, a process known as tonsuring. They're committed to ensuring that all of the hair we use is sourced ethically and willingly, and that a fair price is paid. Payment for the hair is then used to support the local community by developing temples and medical services, and supporting charitable causes.
2. Hair is shipped to Italy - Only hair that hasn’t been exposed to damaging chemicals or styling processes is shipped to our factory in Italy. Our reps then supervise the first cleansing process, which focuses on removing any bacteria or toxins.
3. Purifying the hair - In Italy the hair is purified again and sewn onto cloth to ensure it stays in the right direction. The hair is then placed into baths where very gently, existing pigment is removed through a natural process known as osmosis. Doing this naturally means that the cuticle stays in tact keeping the quality high.
4. Colouring - The hair is then added into a colour bath. Again, osmosis does the hard work here by naturally replacing the colour pigment we’d removed, with the new colour. After drying, we have beautiful, healthy, colourfast hair.
5. Quality Control - To ensure there are no tangles or shorter hairs in your order we ‘hackle’ hair by hand through a giant hairbrush to remove these. Our hair is then inspected under a UV light to guarantee the colour is consistent and pure.
6. The Results - The result, totally pure and ethical hair extensions of the most luxurious quality, in perfect condition.
