- Introducing New ULTIMATE REPAIR by Wella Professionals
Modern Hair and Beauty proudly presents ULTIMATE REPAIR from Wella Professionals – a revolutionary, skincare-inspired hair repair range. Achieve ultimate smoothness, ultimate strength, and ultimate shine with total inside-and-out hair repair in just 90 seconds! When your clients have a great hair day, everything feels better. They linger in front of the mirror, smile a little wider, and feel ready to take on anything. But when hair is damaged and dry, it undermines their look and self-esteem. Whether it’s from colour treatments, heat styling, UV rays, or pollution, a 2022 consumer study with 1,500 participants revealed that 9 out of 10 women do something daily that damages their hair. It’s no surprise that hair repair is the top concern in salons. A Revolutionary Hair Repair Approach Until now, bond repair formulations primarily targeted inner repair – the cortex. But why stop there? Wella’s scientists drew inspiration from skin and its ability to repair itself in two ways: regenerating new cells from within and restoring a protective barrier on the outside. Unlike skin, hair cannot regenerate itself, so the challenge was to replicate skin's reparative powers for hair. Wella’s groundbreaking approach combines two skincare ingredients, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Omega-9, leading to the creation of ULTIMATE REPAIR. This innovative combination treats both the inside and the outside of the hair, repairing all types and textures from within. REBUILDS INSIDE: AHA, an organic acid small enough to penetrate the hair fibre at its deepest level, rebuilds hydrogen bonds in the cortex for a strong hair core. + REPLENISHES OUTSIDE: Omega-9, a bio-identical lipid, targets the hair fibre's exterior. It coats the surface and fills in the cuticle, re-creating a protective barrier. ULTIMATE REPAIR works on all hair textures – whether coily, wavy, fine, straight, thick, or anything in between. Its subtle, signature scent enhances your client’s daily care routine, turning it into an extraordinary experience. 4-Step Ultimate Hair Care Routine The ULTIMATE REPAIR range includes five products, suitable for all hair types and levels of damage. Each product is formulated with Wella’s patented technology to deliver inside-out repair in just 90 seconds – less than half the time of leading bond repair competitors. Step 1: CLEANSE Shampoo: A lightweight, luxurious cream shampoo that gently and effectively cleanses while removing harmful impurities such as metals, product buildup, oils, dirt, and pollution. It also begins the rebuilding process. Step 2: CONDITION Conditioner and Mask: A creamy, deeply moisturising conditioner and mask that detangles, strengthens, and repairs hair, leaving it feeling light and fresh without weighing it down. Step 3: TREAT Miracle Hair Rescue: The star of the ULTIMATE REPAIR haircare routine and a major innovation in bond repair technology. It delivers 99% less breakage, 12x smoother hair, and added shine.* This weightless, liquid leave-in spray repairs hair damage inside and out in just 90 seconds, detangling while intensively strengthening and smoothing the hair. Transformative, long-lasting results after just one use. Step 4: PROTECT Protective Leave-In: A delicate cream serum that protects, repairs, and smoothes all hair types. It creates 8x smoother hair* for easier styling, offering 5-in-1 protection against breakage, UV damage, heat (up to 230°C/450°F), mechanical damage, and frizz. Straight hair becomes sleeker, while curls are more defined. *Instrumental test versus non-conditioning shampoo. Stock ULTIMATE REPAIR by Wella Professionals in Your Salon ULTIMATE REPAIR addresses both the inner strength and outer beauty of your clients’ hair, ensuring they leave your salon feeling confident and radiant.

- EOHCB: Understanding The Retirement Two-Pot System in South Africa
The two-pot retirement system is to be implemented on September 1, 2024, in South Africa. It enables retirement fund members to make partial withdrawals from their retirement funds before retirement while preserving a portion that can only be accessed at retirement. This aims to improve retirement outcomes by providing members with the flexibility to access part of their retirement benefits if they are in financial distress, without needing to resign from their jobs. Who is it meant for: The new two-pot retirement system will be applicable to all retirement funds, including both private-sector and public-sector funds, with a few exceptions. It will not apply to old-generation or legacy retirement annuity policies, or funds with no active participating members (such as funds in liquidation, beneficiary funds, closed funds, or dormant funds). Additionally, pensioners and members of provident funds who were 55 years and older on March 1, 2021, and have not chosen to be part of the two-pot system will also be excluded. How will this system work: This system introduces three pots: the "savings pot," the "retirement pot," and the "vested pot." Only the savings and retirement pot can receive retirement contributions from the implementation date onwards. The vested pot holds retirement benefits accumulated by the member before the implementation date, with investment growth still credited to this component. Starting from September 1, 2024, retirement contributions will be divided by the retirement fund into a savings pot (1/3 of total contributions) and a retirement pot (2/3 of total contributions). The savings pot allows withdrawals at any time, with a minimum withdrawal of R2,000 and only one withdrawal permitted per tax year. Withdrawn amounts are taxed at the individual's marginal tax rate, with no maximum withdrawal limit. The retirement pot, however, cannot be accessed upon resignation and is preserved until retirement. Retrenchment cases will be addressed in a later phase of the reform process. The vested pot, representing the retirement value as of August 31, 2024, does not accept further contributions but remains invested by the retirement fund. Upon resignation in the future, the vested right to access this component or transfer it to a preservation fund is maintained. Download the Verso Two-Pot Simplified March 2024 PDF HERE .
