How Killerstrands Began & Welcome to Our New APP (15% OFF- entire order - only If you shop On APP)

Many years ago KC was completely frustrated in the fact that she could never find a conditioner that actually worked. They say they'll work - they spout all this BS language that makes you think you better try this one or that brand. Finally after spending from $5.00 to $500.00 ( yes there is a $500.00 hair conditioner) and was never close to being satisfied.  After being diagnosed, she decided to study Cosmetic chemistry on the web to keep her mind busy. 

So she set out to figure out how & why these products work --- and then maybe figure out WHY they don't work. Hell, our scientists can fly to the Moon and back, but they can't even truly condition & de-tangle our hair,  she just did not get it !


 So what began as a one month project - - turned into 2 years of deep intense study and camaraderie with a small unique set of people in the early days of the Internet and a fantastic Chemist, who actually developed what we all know as MASCARA for MAX FACTOR many years prior ! !  He was open and willing to teach us all anything and everything he knew, which was one of my earliest mentors & models for how I was going to run my Blog.  

In the Hair Industry you are taught to keep your knowledge and tricks in hair color formulating -- TO - YOUR - SELF !!!! That was your bread & Butter and you should NOT give it away ! ! ! 



 But, the more she watched him teach and educate this small group of dedicated people through his BLOG.......the more I learned there really was more fun and more knowledge learned when everyone OPENED UP - SHARED WHAT THEY KNEW. . . or didn't know (tricks + education AND ALL!  !) and talked to each other. That was when she decided to just "GIVE BACK TO EVERYONE SHE NEVER KNEW AND NEVER WOULD KNOW -- Just for the HELL OF IT anbd to enlighten the people who had no access to talented Colorists/Stylists.

 NO, its not solving Cancer
but its what SHE KNEW and it whats a lot of people on earth struggle with and are very consumed with.................SOOOOOOOOO  -  she could Teach. .....and plenty of people needed the Education.  That is how our pride and joy conditioners began and evolved. This site was here for you! First there is 
  • THRIVEN - DEEP Overnight Conditioner - Sleep in it 

  • INTENSIVE - pH & porosity equalizers - soothes scalp, balances pH and helps lock in hair color immediately after using, an all around miracle, by many accounts.


  • GLEAM - A bottle full of the richest most vitamin-mineral& amino acid packed bottle of OILS that exists on planet earth.Price any product with the same ingredients....???? Its well over $200.00 for an even smaller bottle than the 2 ounce ! The ingresient that truly HEALS hair ..are LIPIDS, lipids are oils. 
  •  
    One of the primary causes of dry hair is the destruction of its hydro-lipid layer through everyday grooming practices. . . You just don't know it ! With proper care this part of the hair can be replenished and fixed. Essential fatty acids play a primary role in the structure of the hydro-lipid layer and are an important part of GLEAM.

    What is the Hydro-Lipid Layer?

    The hydro-lipid layer is composed of hydro (water) and lipids (fats) which form a thin emulsion that coats the hair and skin of mammals to keep both hydrated and in optimum condition. It is infused into the keratin of the hair’s cuticle as it’s formed in the follicle and the outer surface is continuously replenished via secretions from the sebaceous glands. This delicate barrier is comprised of essential fatty acids, ceramides, tryglicerides, cholesterol and water. Essential fatty acids comprise a greater part of the lipid layer and contribute to hair’s elasticity and aid ceramides in keeping the cuticle scales attached to the hair strand.

    What Happens When the Hydro-Lipid Layer is Lost?

    The hydro-lipid layer provides two primary functions; hydration and protection (which shows in the 'shine' and condition of the hair. It’s on the outside of the hair shaft forming a film, and it’s also present within the cuticle layer. It is a permeable lining that allows for the uptake of water but it also is occlusive enough to slow the evaporation of moisture from the shaft. Lubrication is another function of this layer which prevents cuticles from lifting or snagging on other surrounding hair strands.  
    When the hydro-lipid-layer is damaged, the hair loses a vital source of moisture, the cuticle scales are exposed to mechanical damage and other trajedies, and the vital cement that holds cuticles in place is compromised. 

     The following loss and damage of the cuticle layer leaves hair porous, rough, zero gloss or elasticity and vulnerable to breakage.

    Common Causes of Lipid Depletion

     Lipid Depletion can be accelerated by your grooming activities that many of you consider to be a normal part of their routine. Shampoos that contain strong sulfates and a high pH are at the top of the list of culprits in the destruction of the lipid coating. 

    I've tried for 20 years to get everyone off of sulfates, I feel they should be banned.
    , sulfates function by rendering oil water miscible so that it can be removed from the hair and scalp. A shampoo that is intended to be mild, gentle or moisturizing will still operate this way but will not strip the hair and scalp bare of all its essential fats. Without proper protection, chemical treatments like hair coloring/ relaxers can damage or completely dissolve lipids from the hair shaft. One of the reasons I really try to push everyone to apply GLEAM prior to the actual hair coloring process - after continuous use, you will begin to notice a distinct difference. 
    Not using an oil like GLEAM opens the hair up to vital lipids being removed from the surface of the cuticle layer as well as from in between the cuticle scales, weakening the natural cement that holds them to the hair shaft. The constant application of high heat to the hair is also a common cause of damage to the hair’s protective barrier. again - applying GLEAM to the hair prior to drying is just one more way to keep your hairs health & shine intact !

    Care and Maintenance of the Hydro-Lipid Layer

    The easiest way to maintain this vital portion of the hair is to minimize or eliminate hair styling practices that place it in jeopardy. If you routinely undertake actions that compromise the lipids in your hair, be certain to use Gleam + Thriven + INTENSIVE that contain essential fatty acid-rich ingredients that restore and replenish the hydro-lipid layer’s integrity.

  • THRIVEN-Lite - Truly a secret weapon, works excellent as a daily conditioner, solves frizz, hair loss (read the reviews)+ pH neutralizer - truly an ALL-IN-ONE-MAGICAL SOLUTION to Jacked-up hair!
      
  • Use Thriven :after hair coloring - color at end of day apply and sleep, for scalp issues (overnight application really helps scalp as well) !
    after lightening/bleaching FOR SURE!
    after Vanishing

THRIVE’N is Killerstrands’ own intensive - DEEP hair conditioner - can be worn overnight for extreme repair to the hair, use the terry cloth cap we have brought in. Information on the Secret Supplement (SS) and where to purchase it is included with every purchase. This remarkable overnight deep conditioner that works in tandem & in conjunction with the Secret Supplement has truly created more miracles in women's hair for hair thinning, loss and damage than I have encountered in the upper echelons of hair care, in the past 20 year

The Secret Supplement is something not one person in 8 years has ever guessed, and it is imperative to use for the 'magic' to happen . It is sold anywhere their are hospitals as it is a medicinal supplement that friends of the family ( all professional athletes) who are Olympic athletes friends  - use to battle jet lag. 
Be sure to get yourself a terry-cloth lines shower/sleeping Cap - makes 'overnight' treatments a breeze.

Thriven was developed to help with female hair loss and thinning issues, whether the result of chemical over-processing , physical trauma, poor health, sulfate shampoos, age or hormones, over-use of heated tools especially Flat Ironsw
10,000 Heads is the 14-Step Protocol that was developed and tested over the course of 12 years and 10,000 heads of hair that KC worked on.
The success rate of 10,000 Heads is a whopping 86-89% of all users! These are quoted as being happy or thrilled with their hair transformation following the 90-day Trial period.

 Instructions:
Apply Thriven (at least) 1-2 times a week using the “slumber” method. Many do it on a Saturday or Sunday as well I’ve been hearing.
In early evening: shampoo hair. Towel Dry, then apply Thriven. Shoot with hair dryer periodically in the evening if it bothers you to sleep with a wet head. The heat from dryer increases how much THRIVEN penetrates the hair strand. Sleep with product in your hair, in morning rinse out 2-3 minutes longer than normal, finish off with a cool rinse.
Style and Smile!

Remember…………
These 2 components are mandatory for the 10,000HEADS System to work its true miracles. If you do not follow BOTH parts of this step you will not have the “magic” I speak about....

Of course the conditioner works complete miracles, but if you use both you will be writing me an email . . .  I never hear enough of those !
