Welcome to our 5 th episode of “Brain Smoke”

"Brain Smoke" was designed to address controversial issues and questions within our industry with both candor and honest commentary. Our objective is to tackle subjects head-on, without the fear of stepping on toes. After all, when it comes to chemistry and theory, it's not about opinions—it's about facts. I'm sure we can all agree that we value straightforward information without the influence of emotion.

We paused this program for a while due to the sensitivity of some of the information. However, this hiatus opened the floodgates to misinformation, opinions, and assumptions, which diluted our educational resources.

Now, we feel it's time to bring "Brain Smoke" back, boldly start the conversation again, and put an end to the decline in our knowledge base. We invite everyone to join us in this effort to seek the truth and safeguard the integrity of our industry.

In this episode, "Just another crazy piece of misinformation," we dive into a recent social media post that has sparked widespread discussion but, surprisingly, lacked much critical analysis. Social media, with its love/hate dynamic, empowers anyone to say anything, regardless of its truthfulness. 

In this episode, we focus on an influencer in the Austin, Texas market with a following of 43,000, each of whom is exposed to the messages shared. 

Given the power of words, these 43,000 salons professionals are receiving information based more on assumption, opinion, and invented beliefs, which only serve to create obstacles and delays in their pursuit of accurate knowledge. Let’s imagine that only 20% of those salon professionals hear the message and tell 5 of their friends, bam you’re back to 43,000 exposures to a skewed message. 

That's exactly why we're bringing back "Brain Smoke"!

Press play and, in just 16 minutes and 49 seconds, you'll gain the actual facts about this topic. Enjoy the listen!

Have you ever wondered about those people with an uncanny ability to draw others in? We call it "charisma"—the magnetic attraction that makes them seem almost like the Pied Piper!

What if I told you that anyone could develop this skill?

That's right! One of the very traits the world often believes is an inherent part of one’s personality can actually be nurtured and developed.

Experts argue that charisma isn't just an inherent personality trait—it's a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned and cultivated.

There’s no denying that charismatic individuals often achieve greater success in various aspects of life. Some suggest that charisma is 50% innate and 50% learned.

The key to developing charisma lies in simple actions that, with practice, can become hallmarks of your personality. By adopting these habits, you can enhance your interactions, satisfaction, and success in life.

In this session, we delve into "Secret #3" of the "Eight Secrets." If you're ready to elevate your game, refine your skills, and cultivate that magical attraction that draws others to you, then you're in the right place.

Press play, and let the adventure begin!

Today’s program is part of our “By Request” series where we address questions and inquiries we have received. I hope you enjoy today’s program

Does Hair Color Cause Cancer? Separating Myths from Reality

In our industry, misconceptions can arise, one of which is the persistent claim that hair dye causes cancer. A lawsuit is currently underway involving a salon professional and a renowned hair color company, bringing this issue into the spotlight. I've been receiving questions about it, so let’s address the matter clearly.

Before we dive in, it's crucial to approach such topics with evidence-based information rather than speculation often found on social media or in the media. As a part of this industry for over 40 years, I've seen this topic resurface every 7 to 10 years without arriving at a concrete resolution. My mentor used to describe these situations as "A Storm in a Teacup," indicating that while the issue generates a lot of attention and concern, it may not have substantial grounding.

The recurring debate often arises from a mix of partial truths and a lack of understanding of the variables involved in assessing related risks. In today's discussion, I aim to shed light on the subject, dispel unfounded fears, and encourage an informed approach to hair coloring.

It's important to remember that if a doctor advises a client to stop using hair dye, their guidance should be respected—this isn’t a reflection of agreement but a commitment to avoiding potential legal complications and maintaining client safety.

I hope this information proves interesting and valuable. Let's strive to make informed decisions based on scientific findings rather than rumors or misunderstandings.

So go ahead and press play...26min later ,you will have a treasure

trove of information to help you when dealing with this sensitive subject.

A Story on Hair Color

Welcome to our "Premium Preview"! We're excited to offer you an exclusive sneak peek of our latest educational video session. In this clip, you'll get a preview of 7 minutes from the program, allowing you to see if our content matches your interests.

If you find it valuable, consider subscribing to our premium broadcast for just $9.99 per month. We believe the programs on our premium channel offer value far exceeding the nominal fee. However, our standard broadcast still provides excellent content to help you build confidence, stay grounded, and ensure your journey to hair color mastery.

Here's a short overview : 

Today, we delve into a topic that seems to persist despite being fundamental to understanding hair color: the differing sizes of blue, red, and yellow hair color molecules. Why do we revisit this subject again and again? 

Because grasping this concept is essential to mastering hair coloring. 

In our latest video podcast, we aim to dispel myths and clarify these concepts once and for all. 

This aspect of hair color education is key—it builds a foundation of knowledge that fosters confidence, leading to consistent and successful hair color results.

If you find this information insightful, valuable, and worth your time, please share it with your friends and colleagues. Together, we can elevate our understanding of how hair color truly works.

As my mentor wisely said, "Without understanding the 'why,' the 'how' often becomes an insurmountable obstacle."
