Top Tips for great hair in Autumn!

autumn

Here are our top Autumn hair tips!

#1 – Keep your hair moisturised.

We recommend you use a leave-in conditioner during the cooler months, to lock in the moisture, especially for windy days. You can also rinse your conditioner out with a blast of cold water to seal the cuticles. You can also add a hair serum to your hair routine, and also use a hair mask once a week!

#2 – Book regular trims

Your hair will be a little frazzled after a Summer of sun and heat, so it’s good to book your next trim and get your hair ends looking great. You can also use a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup that will have occured.

 #3 – Make sure your diet is helping your hair too.

Eat lots of foods like nuts and seeds, eggs, yoghurt, and chicken, plus salmon will give your hair shine.

Do you have any other tips? Post them on our Facebook page!

 

Winter Trend for 2019!

hair pins

We are heading into the more cooler months, and what better time to change up your hair? But instead of just switching from a lighter colour to a darker one, why not try a trend? Add a half head’s worth of highlights, or do a Full Head tint!

We have highlighted our favourite trends going into Winter and thought you might enjoy them too!

  1. Blunt Bob

blunt bob trend

We called this months ago, and now the trend is fully in sight. A blunt bob conveys elegant, shiny hair that looks expertly done. Why not speak to one of our stylists to get a recommendation on a straightener that achieves this look?

2. Bedazzled Hair Pins

hair pins

This trend is PERFECT for Christmas parties and events. It is low maintenance but gives a sense of ‘done’ hair. We love that you can use shapes and words to send a message – and we have seen a few brides wearing them too!

3. Space Buns

space buns

For when you want to be practical, yet fun, space buns are a fun way to be playful with your hair. You can go for the full 90s look and have tendrils down at the front, or wear scrunchies! We dare you to try this fun trend.

Everything You Need To Know About Fusio Scrub!

fusio dose

We love our new Kérastase Fusio Dose Scrub – this is the perfect treatment to give your hair the best start. We did a little Q&A for you to find out more!

Q&A: Everything You Need To Know About Fusio Scrub

Here, we answer all of your questions about how you can harness the invigorating power of this sensual, deep cleansing treatment.

Q1: What is scalp exfoliation?

Only our latest hair care obsession! We’ve always been very mindful of scalp health as the root of healthy hair. Maintain a healthy scalp with a little help from a detoxing, pore-stimulating scrub. Your hair will be more likely to reach its longest, strongest, most luscious state.

Q2: Why should I exfoliate my scalp?

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This reveals the newer, more vital skin below. Although the body naturally replaces dead skin cells with new ones, the process can be slow and uneven. Exfoliation from the outside really helps the skin with this crucial process. It removes oil, dandruff and deeply encrusted dirt. It detoxifies the scalp and stimulates the skin’s natural renewal process, revealing shinier, more voluminous hair. The effect is visible from the roots all the way to the tips.

Kérastase introduces Fusio Scrub, a range developed to deeply cleanse the scalp and the hair from pollution particles. It’s a new efficient gesture to answer today’s main hair concerns: greasy scalp, dandruff and lifeless lengths.

Here are the two scrubs you can choose from!

Scrub Apaisant

A relaxing gel scrub with sweet orange peel that deeply cleanses the scalp while instantly calming sensitivities & retaining optimal level of hydration.

Scrub Energisant

An energising sea salt based scrub that deeply cleanses the scalp while eliminating deeply incrusted impurities & providing long lasting freshness.

Tips to make your Child’s Haircut go smoothly!

child's

We love being a part of your child’s first haircut!

We know your little one can find it hard to sit still sometimes or feel uncomfortable with unfamiliar settings so we have compiled a list on what can be done to make this experience fun for everyone!

1. Deal with the sensitivities. Start by allowing your child to recognise their sensitivities. Give them words to identify their feelings, and let them know you notice and acknowledge their discomfort.

2. A visit to the salon. How about simply visiting the salon before the first appointment? You could ask the stylist to just comb their hair or give a partial trim. You could also schedule the appointment for a time of day when your child will be less tired or hungry.

3. Go shopping together. Take your child to the store with you and let them pick out their favourite hairbrush, shirt to wear as a cape and their favourite hair grooming products. It will help them calm down and decrease frustration.

4. Put on some music. Or in this case… their headphones. Not only do they block the noise, but they can also take the edge off of their anxiety. They can wear the headphones “upside-down” or use earbuds if they prefer, instead.

5. Bring food. Use comfort foods or treats as a distraction to help them.

6. Relaxation techniques. Think about activities that can help them relax, such as taking deep breaths before and during the event. It can work wonders!

We hope you find these helpful. Why not book in with us from the below details?
