Pur Hair
From LoveToKnow Hair
The Pur Hair company is an innovative and highly technical manufacturer of hair color products that can be customized to meet each individual’s needs and preferences. With Pur, color is more than just a fashion statement or style expression; it truly is an exacting science.
About the Company
Pur Hair is the creation of expert stylist Reinhold Hofmann. Hofmann spent years working with a wide range of hair coloring products and techniques, and while each line had certain benefits, no single line had the complete flexibility and range of options to fully satisfy all his clients. To change that, Hofmann spent years developing his own line of hair coloring products, and in 2005 the Pur system was introduced. The line’s precise techniques and stunning results are quickly leading the Germany-based company to worldwide prominence in the hair care industry.
Pur Hair Products
Unlike many other hair products lines, Pur does not offer dozens of different styling, care, and coloring products for customers to choose from. Instead, the line is comprised of relatively few product options that are designed to be used together in the precise proportions a client needs to produce the exact results they crave. From those few products, the entire range of hair color shades can be reproduced.
Hair Color Cream
The hair color cream is the most familiar of Pur’s products. Several types of cream are available to create different coloring results, from a complete hair color change to hair highlights, lowlights, or gray hair coverage. Dual shade combinations are recommended for more natural, blended tones, and all the shades can be mixed, brightened, or darkened for the best flexibility. After the cream is used, a stabilizing cream is also applied to protect and nourish the hair and increase the color’s longevity.
Color Bleach
Pur also offers a more basic color bleach to help lighten dark locks. Because blonde hair is so popular, many clients simply want to brighten their tresses and this is a simpler option than a full color change treatment.
Styling Products
Pur Hair does offer a limited number of styling products that are specially formulated to continue offering hair color protection long after the initial treatment. Waxes are available for volume and control, and styling foam, hair gel, and high gloss sprays are other popular options. The gel in particular is a sought after product because it comes in two formulas, one to help straighten hair (another trendy look), and one to preserve the vivacity of curly hair.
Usage Tips
Pur coloring products must be precisely measured and proportioned properly for the best results, making them very difficult for novices to use. No metal tools – including combs, picks, or bowls – should be used with the coloring agents because the metal can change the resulting color tint. The exact product proportions vary dramatically based on the desired hair color, the initial base color of the hair, and other factors. Activation times also vary from 20 to 50 minutes depending on the desired color, the hair’s condition, the room temperature, and the degree of color change desired. For best results, guidelines on the official website] should be carefully followed.
Finding Pur Products
Because of the demanding nature of Pur Hair products, it is recommended that individuals seek out salon professionals experienced with different coloring techniques and the precise techniques required by Pur for the best results. Upscale salons such as those in New York or Los Angeles frequently use Pur products, or the products may be able to be purchased through salon suppliers. For more information on the Pur line including upcoming products and detailed use explanations and guidelines, interested clients can visit the official website, PurHair.com.
For the best natural looks, hair coloring is a precise science, and no company understands that better than Pur Hair. The relatively limited range of products can be combined with limitless flexibility to meet the color needs of any client, and the precise formulation of the products ensures spectacular results and outstanding color everyone will love.
