Calista Tools
Why do you say that the line can be customized?
You will find that the line can work beautifully on many hair types. Each of our styling products were specially formulated to work on many hair textures just by changing simple application techniques.
Embellish
How do I make sure it does not leave my hair sticky?
Less is best, the only way Embellish will feel sticky is if you have used too much product.
How much do I use?
Always start with a pea size amount, rub it into the palms of your hands thoroughly, clap your hands together to get the consistency you need for your hair texture and apply.
If it works well can I use more?
If you would like more repeat again by only adding that same pea size amount each time. Less is best!
How long can I expect it to hold my style?
Embellish is a texture and defining product, it will enhance and or transform your style, not hold it. You must follow with hairspray to get the hold.
How do I get the fibers to form when I use Embellish?
After you have applied the pea size amount to the palm of your hand, rub the product in your palms and begin to clap the palms of your hands, where the product is, the fibers will begin to form between your hands. Remember to customize it to your needs, the lighter you want the product the more you clap. Fine hair needs it to be lighter than thick hair.
Energy Curl - Activate Spray and Form Gel
How much do I use?
Activate: To enhance your curl, spray all over being sure to get it on all the hair, it will add the moisture your hair needs to curl instead of frizz.
Form: Apply a nickel amount into the palms of your hand, rub palms together, first start on top and pat onto curls. Move to the sides and then to the back. At any time if you feel there is no product left on your palms, repeat application to palms before moving to the next section. You need the right amount to be applied evenly so the curl holds as they are drying.
Will it make my hair sticky or stiff?
No, we carefully formulated and tested this product to eliminate the stiff, sticky feeling you get from most gels. If you use too much product you will eventually make your hair sticky and possibly stiff.
What will it do for the frizz in my hair?
The unique formulation adds the moisture necessary to eliminate frizz. If you find your hair to be frizzy, pay attention to your application. Be sure the product has completely coated the frizzy areas of your hair.
If my hair is straight will it give me curl?
No, this product enhances wave and curl. If you have no curl, it cannot add to what is not already there. Though we find it adds body and the gel is an excellent styling gel as well. Loved especially by men.
Will it weigh my hair down?
No, The formulations are made specifically with all hair textures in mind. The finest of hair will love this product as much as those with heavy hair. Your application of the Form gel will be less if your hair is fine and more if your hair is thick. Again, customize it for you.
Shine Remedy Treatment
Will the shampoo strip my color?
No, this is a very gentle formulation that makes sure the hair is free from build up and coatings left on the hair. It does not contain ingredients that can strip the hair's natural oils, hair color, or moisture.
My hair is color treated, what can I expect?
When you use Shine Remedy once every 5 to 7 shampoo's, you can expect your hair color to look like it did the day you left the salon, until you return to the salon for your next color. If your hair is not color treated,
My hair color is natural, what can I expect?
You can expect the shine and gloss you may have lost in your hair over time. You will also enjoy the softening of grey hair as well as the amazing conditioning of very parched, dry hair.
What color do I choose?
The colors are very concentrated. They are made to enhance natural hair color as well as color treated. It will penetrate color treated hair twice as fast as on natural hair color. If your hair is bleached only Ice is recommended.
-Ice is for blondes, chemically hi-lighted, and all shades of hair color. Enjoy the intense shine this gloss adds, as well as the amazing conditioning it provides.
-Sunglow is for light brown to dark brown shades that desire golden hi-lights.
-Fire is perfect for medium brown to dark brown shades looking to add red hi-lights, as well as for those who want to maintain the red in their color treated hair.
-Moonlight is for the darkest brown shades as well as grey tones. Keep the unwanted brassy tones out with Moonlight.
How do I know how long to leave it on?
When using Ice feel free to go up to the maximum time of 10 minutes. With Fire, Sunglow and Moonlight, start out with the minimum time of 3 minutes and add to it if you want to intensify the color. If you still find the color too intense after 3 minutes, you should choose the Ice to maintain beautiful hair color.
How much do I use?
Make sure the hair is completed coated with the product, especially when using Fire, Sunglow and Moonlight, the hair needs to be covered generously and evenly. Using the scalp brush to comb through, is a huge assistance for even distribution.
Reclaim
Serums way my hair down, why is this different?
Argan oil is the newest oil found for beauty products and is of the lightest weight.
Will it leave a coating on my hair?
No, it's known for its deep penetration so it will not remain on the hair, giving the hair softness with no residue.
Will my hair appear greasy?
Quite the opposite, you will see shine and softness only.
What benefits do I get from the Argan oil?
Nourishment, deep conditioning, and replenishment to the hair.
How much should I use?
Always start with a pea size amount, rub it into the palms of your hands thoroughly, apply directly to your hair, one section at a time, repeating with more if you feel there is no more in the palms of your hands before you get to each section. Little bit goes a long way. Customize it to your texture, those with fine hair will need much less than those with thicker hair.
Intensify Foam
Why would I choose a foam?
Foams are perfect when you want to manipulate the hair to have more movement and body.
Why is this foam different?
Intensify foam starts as a very light liquid and dispenses as a foam. This will allow you to cause the hair to have movement and volume, not adding any weight, so the style will maintain itself for hours long.
How much do I use?
Start with 2 to 3 pumps in the palms of your hands, rub together and apply in sections. Repeat application if you run out of product on your hands before you get to all 4 sections of the hair, front sides and back.
Form Gel
Why would I choose a gel?
Gel will add more hold to your style.
Why is this gel different?
Our unique formulation of ingredients, allows this gel to have great hold with no stiffness. You will also find that there is no buildup left on the hair, as does most other gels.
How much do I use?
Start with a nickel size amount in the palms of your hands, rub together and apply in sections. Repeat application if you run out of product on your hands before you get to all 4 sections of the hair, front sides and back.
Complete Spray
Why would I choose a non aerosol spray?
When you are looking for a more natural look to the hold of a hairspray, as opposed to a stiff type of frozen look. Complete will give your style the hold you need, while still allowing the hair to move and look touchable.
Why is this called a working spray?
You can use the spray as a styling tool. One favorite way of using the spray is with a hairdryer while spraying to give a very textured pieced look to your style. Also, apply to the hair before setting it on rollers and you will receive a fabulous comb out and hold to your style.
What type of hold can I expect out of this spray?
Again, you customize it. For a very light hold spray sparingly and a distance from the head. Spray more when you are looking to get a medium hold, let set for 1 minute and repeat spray giving it a strong hold.
