Tribology Complex 101
INTRODUCING - The first three hair care products from the RevAir Tribology Complex Collection.
Since the launch of the groundbreaking, industry-changing Reverse-Air Dryer, beauty-savvy women everywhere have been clamoring for more from RevAir. Never fear, new products are near...
Debuting in early September 2019, the RevAir Tribology Complex Collection features a proprietary blend of active ingredients designed to improve not only the aesthetic results of a hair style, but the actual health of the hair.
Rest assured, Tribology Complex is not just another beauty brand facade that lacks the proof consumers crave. Like the Reverse-Air Hair Dryer that so effectively delivers on its promise, Tribology Complex is based in science that is used for style.
WHAT IF….?
While the most well known benefits of the Reverse-Air Hair Dryer are that it dries and straighten in a single, hassle-free step, three times faster and with substantially less heat, it’s lesser known attributes lie in its role in the hairs health.
The aerodynamically designed Wand is an example of the word Tribology, (Tribology is the science of wear, friction and lubrication, and encompasses how interacting surfaces and other tribo-elements behave in relative motion in natural and artificial systems. Tribology is highly interdisciplinary) and where the inspiration for the name of the innovative complex was born.
The wand and hose use tension to dry the hair in its natural direction, smoothing and sealing the cuticle in the process.
It got us to dreaming and then developing...what if we could capture good-for-you ingredients under the cuticle before it closed?
WHY IT’S NEEDED...
Each and every strand of hair on our head consists of three main parts: the medulla, cortex and cuticle. The medulla is a honey-comb like core made up of amino acids and sugar.
The cortex surrounds the medulla and is composed of protein. The outer layer of all of that, and on every hair, is the cuticle. The cuticle serves as the “protection” for the inner two layers, and is made up of overlapping scales of protein.
When the hair becomes damaged from all that it is put through, including chemical processing, singing curls into submission or forcing wave with hot tools, and even UV exposure, the cuticle (the outer protective layer) opens and stays in a raised, jagged angle.
If your hair is frizz prone or suffers from everyday flyaways, it is a strong indicator that your hair has a raised cuticle.
RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer works wonders on raised cuticles, as the airflow (suction) dries hair in the natural direction in which the cuticles are intended to lay. This is why your hair stylist works so hard to overdirect her blowdryer down and why you have had a difficult time, prior to RevAir, replicating their results at home.
This process of sealing the cuticle results in smoother hair that holds style better and has a healthy shine. The RevAir team saw the positive benefits from a smooth, closed cuticle and used their engineering and innovation-driven background to create products that will exponentially amplify and work beautifully with the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer.
THE GUARANTEE
This is where the Tribology Complex comes into play. RevAir thoughtfully and methodically designed a line of products specifically formulated to work synergistically with the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer to boost the results that already make RevAir a game-changer.
The Tribology Complex products are formulated on three principles, or “core values” if you will - SHINE, STRENGTHEN and SEAL.
Each hair care product RevAir creates is rooted in these principles that compose the Tribology Complex. Think of it as our promise to you. While the active ingredients may vary as new innovations are discovered, we guarantee each product we create has been carefully developed and chosen based on its ability to SHINE, STRENGTHEN and SEAL your gorgeous strands.
SHINE
Shiny hair is healthy hair! Every Tribology Complex product is proven to increase the gleam and sheen in your hair.
STRENGTHEN
Strong strands are beautiful!. All products that proudly wear the Tribology Complex logo contain beneficial ingredients designed to improve hair’s elasticity and decrease hair fiber fatigue.
SEAL
Seal the deal! Open cuticles not only create frizz and flyaways, they allow active ingredients to dissipate faster.
While the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer is ideal for seizing the hair-healthy ingredients under the sealed cuticle, Tribology Complex utilizes compounds that assure a smooth, sleek results no matter your drying device.
2019 TRIBOLOGY ACTIVES
The Tribology Complex Collection is formulated with forward thinking, benefit-rich ingredients.
The three main active ingredients are featured in each of the products, and are called Keravis™, Seriseal® and Seridefrizz®. Regular use provides impressive results.
Don’t take our word for it, see for yourself below.
Keravis™ is a natural vegetable protein that penetrates hair cortex to strengthen from within. Keravis™ creates stronger hair, reduces breakage and split ends and utilizes veggie-based protein that has proven far better for hair health than Keratin.
Seriseal® is a compound that improves hair condition, repairs damaged cuticles, increases shine, and enables better penetration/absorption via nanotechnology.
Seridefrizz® is a heat-activated compound that reduces drying time, locks out frizz, strengthens hair and provides a cumulative effect- which means that continuous use increases the benefits.
NEWEST INNOVATIONS
The Tribology Complex Collection launches with three carefully created products designed with an individual’s hair type(s) and RevAir’s core values in mind. All products must SEAL, STRENGTHEN and add SHINE to your locks.These products are designed to work in tandem with the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer, however, have been formulated to amplify results no matter the drying and finishing routine.
