Pearatin Saved My Hair

Those who know me personally understand that it’s not unusual for me to change my hair color often. I could be a redhead one day and a blond the next, as though some hair fairy godmother zapped me with her wand. If only it were that easy. No, instead I go through hours of processing to get quality results. Though I survive the ordeal, my hair sometimes takes a beating that goes beyond the norm. Ouch!

Last October was one of those times.

I’d done it before with much success, so I wasn’t really concerned that anything bad would happen. Well, at first it was great; I was using good products, staying away from the flat iron, and being as gentle as I could; however, by the time my roots grew enough to need a touch up, the rest of my plat locks were in serious trouble. Breaking, lackluster, frizz…HELP!

My beautiful daughter is currently training to become a hair stylist and a fabulous one at that! It was her first time to do a platinum root job. She admitted that she was a little nervous about it. We were in the professional supply store and got all the goods we needed for the job. At the check out, the clerk handed me a small vial (free sample) of Pearatin Fortifying Repairative Serum She swore that the creatine, keratin protein-based product was what I needed to get my hungry hair back in shape. Well, she was ever so right! Go smart sales lady!

The rich serum is so concentrated that I still have a quarter of it left; I got the .5 oz sample more than 2 months ago. I’ve actually changed my color since then! I’ve used hair serums before but found them to make my hair feel greasy. Pearatin doesn’t do that at all. I suppose that’s because it is penetrating the hair cuticle like it should; it’s getting to the core where it can make a difference in the structure of the hair. I’ve had no breakage or frizziness since I’ve been using it! Happiness!

The product is time released so it keeps working all day as you are exposed to sun, wind, and other environmental do-wreckers. It is also formulated so you can reapply at any time to wet or dry hair…convenience that I like. It’s perfect for use as a heat shield (that reminds me of the reentry scene from Apollo 13…sorry) from flat irons and other appliances. And though I don’t recommend that someone with heavily colored or processed hair use that kind of heat often, I will say that the Pearatin gives great protection and a nice shine when all is said and done.

Unfortunately, I did not find the Loma company listed at cosmeticsdatabase.com (product hazard rating site), so I am unable to tell you about the exact make up of Pearatin. I do know that it’s free of parabens and formaldehydes though…a good thing for those of you who are health-conscious. Also, “Loma began in 1990 with a vision by founder David Hanen whose intent was to develop a naturally-based hair care line for the spa and salon industry.” With that ideal behind his products, it sounds like they are likely as hazard-free as they can be with having a shelf life. You can read more about the Loma company and their products at Lomaforhair.com.

I can get my Pearatin from my lovely daughter, but just in case you don’t have your own personal supply line, you can get Pearatin Fortifying Repairative Serum 3.4 oz (NEW PACKAGING) on Amazon or from your local salon. As for me, I’m loving my hair-savior! And, just in case you were curious about my present hair color…it’s chocolate brown with caramel highlights! Until next time, here’s to healthy hair!

BTW, I was not compensated for my honest opinion of this product. I am, however, an Amazon Associate, so if you choose to plunk around on those links up there, and decide to purchase the Pearatin, I might get enough pocket change to get my favorite beauty magazine. Cheers!
