Cristalliste Collection by Kérastase

Do you know the secret of a long shiny hair?

Due to hormonal changes, environmental factors and styling habits, the cuticle of long hair tends to be unevenly sealed and does not reflect light in an optimal way. Cristalliste features the New Liquid Light Complex: a trio of beneficial ingredients that treats the fiber and the hydro-lipidic layer and mimics the natural visual effects of light on the surface of the fiber, leaving hair luminoussmooth and radiant with a natural lightweight feel.

Kérastase Fibre Architecte

Kérastase Fibre Architecte

Hiya, just a quick blog to let you know about a brilliant new product from Kérastase we have just launched in the salon:  ‘Fibre Architecte’

The buzz on the product is that it is an ‘icon in the making’ as it is a the first product to have a double pump dispenser containing 2 different solutions which you mix together to activate.  It contains complex Ciment-Cylane (intra-Cylane + Ceramide R + Pro-Keratin) which targets brittle, very damaged lengths and split ends and is ideal for hair that has been over-processed or damaged from excessive heat.  You simply apply to dry hair and instantly reap the rewards of healthy, smooth hair.

I have left a bottle out on the reception desk so do pop in and have a try and see how amazing this product really is!

Grey is Great!

Grey is Great!

 

I was on ITV’s This Morning showcasing the best way to style and manage grey hair. It’s a sensitive subject and lots of people are immediately frightened at the prospect of grey hair- but this shouldn’t be the case.  Grey hair has never been as chic and on trend as it is this autumn/winter and with celebrities like Helen Mirren and Dame Judi Dench flying the flag for growing old gracefully, now is the time to learn how to make the most of your silver tresses.

 

It is important to understand why hair loses its colour in the first place; grey hair is a result of the body producing less melanin.  It can happen at any time but it tends to happen more with age; as well as going grey, the hair also loses moisture and elasticity and will change in texture, which is why it can feel lifeless and thin.  It is important to use a shampoo and conditioner which is specially formulated for grey hair; specialist shampoos will moisturise the hair but also clarify it to ensure pollutants do not build up giving it a yellowish tinge.

 

Here are my top anti-aging hair tips for colour, cutting and styling grey hair:

  • Don’t forget that as you age, your skin tone can change dramatically.
  • If you decided to colour your grey hair; it is important to adapt the colour to complement your skin tone.
  • No one should have the same hair colour for 10 years; subtle changes in tone will keep your look fresh.
  • Have a fringe cut in; this hides a multitude of sins and will draw attention to features like your eyes and lips making you look so much younger.When styling your hair, or tying it back, always use your fingers and not a hairbrush.  By doing this you will create a more texturised and softer shape that will make you look years younger.

 

Overall it is really important not to get stuck in a hair rut, getting older does not mean you cannot experiment.

Winter glamour and voluminous hair xxx

Winter glamour and voluminous hair xxx

Hi I’m Stella from Alison Jameson Consultants, the PR for the Leo Bancroft brand and each week I’m going to write a blog about all things hair, fashion and what the lovely team at the Leo Bancroft salon is up to.

It seems as though our summer has not even started, and yet here we are poised to jump on all that Autumn/Winter 2011 has to offer us.

It’s hardly surprising, considering the terrible weather that we’ve been suffering recently, that our attention is turning to upcoming winter trends. So as we wear away the last of the florals and bright colours, make way for gothics, pearls and fur (faux AND real).

And just as sure as we can rely on the appearance of a few ‘snow-days’ we can rest steady in the knowledge that glamour will be the words on all our lips, as Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant and Frade all demonstrated in their recent shows. And this filters across to hair and beauty; big blow-drys, volume and height will be everywhere this season so invest in good styling products like Cloud 9 TheO and a round ceramic brush now and get practicing.

The high street has also been starting to filter through some of the most popular looks for the coming season, with Topshop almost making us wish the weather would drop just a couple of more degrees in order for us to justify buying one of their gorgeous  ‘new-in’ coats. We say ALMOST, because after all it is still July, and the welcoming taste of a cocktail by the beach is beckoning…

And it doesn’t help when Chanel releases it’s quirky and cute AW’11 campaign advertisements, shot by the genius that is Karl Lagerfield himself.  It has us craving more!

But until we reach those freezing temperatures that have us reaching for our Hunters, we better make sure to catch the few rays of sunshine that we have been treated with! After all, we will need a hint of a bronzed glow to make those winter clothes look fabulous…
