As a brand Sta-Sof-Fro has been synonymous with haircare and has, over the years, developed and evolved in the space of women’s interests across the board. This year, Sta-Sof-Fro is proud to announce the official sponsorship of Soweto Fashion Week. The Sta-Sof-Fro Soweto Fashion Week kicks off today and this year's fashion week schedule is jam-packed with exciting events, collaborations, and presentations. The theme for this year is “Unchartered Creativity”, and will showcase the latest trends and collections for the coming Autumn / Winter Collections 2024 from some of the industry's most renowned designers. Stephen Manzini, the founder of Soweto Fashion Week, believes that this year's runway collections are all about exploring new ideas, concepts, or solutions that have not been established in the fashion industry. “Uncharted creativity often involves taking risks, pushing boundaries, and embracing experimentation to discover unexplored possibilities and create original and impactful outcomes,” says Manzini. Throughout history, the relationship between hair and fashion has been intricately intertwined. Hairstyles have served as reflections of the prevailing cultural norms and societal values of their time.  Fashion  trends  have  consistently  contributed  to  and  creatively  influenced  popular hairstyles. Sta-Sof-Fro took the opportunity to collaborate with Soweto Fashion Week as Fashion trends have consistently contributed to and creatively influenced popular hairstyles. “Hair is a potent marker of social class, age, marital status, racial identity, political beliefs, attitudes toward gender and of course- creative expression,” says Pearle Peane Brand manager Sta-Sof-Fro. Peane says designers and celebrities often set new standards that are eagerly adopted by the masses, reinforcing cultural identities along the way. “Remarkably, some hairstyles have endured through centuries, maintaining their relevance and symbolism. Black hair, in particular, stands out for its malleable nature-allowing for the creation of intricate symbolic meanings by artists and individuals alike,” says Peane.

What is an empath? Empaths can be described as those who absorb the world’s joys and stresses like emotional sponges. Empaths have a deep connection with taking on others’ emotions, and it is often to their own emotional detriment. Empaths typically are highly sensitive, have strong intuition and love for nature, and are often easily overwhelmed. How does an empath respond to a working environment? A working environment can be either an uplifting or draining place for an empath. Work environments are tough and multiple different personalities work together. An empath is someone who takes on others’ emotions and feels their emotions deeply, you can understand why this could be a draining environment for them. This can cause burnout and feelings of being overwhelmed. On the flip side, if you have a healthy work environment, this can be a place where an empath thrives, they are very creative beings, and given the right environment, they could be your biggest asset for your business. How can you as an employer/manager/leader/colleague support an empath at work? Provide constructive feedback in a supportive manner, as empaths can be more sensitive to criticism or negative feedback. Ensuring a collaborative, supportive, and positive work environment. Be clear about what you expect from them, if they are unsure about what is expected this can cause feelings of excessive stress and being overwhelmed. Provide opportunities for them to freely express their creativity in the workplace, provide them with autonomy, and watch how they will knock your socks off! Be supportive and understanding, where possible allow them flexible work arrangements to help maintain their emotional well-being and work obligations, encourage stress management techniques, and even better mental health support and training for all employees to better understand how to support their empath colleagues. As an empath, what can you do to help yourself thrive in your workplace? Set boundaries on what you are willing to do about the feelings you absorb from those around you to avoid reaching the burnout point. Ensure you are taking care of yourself; self-care is super important in ensuring you can recharge and maintain your emotions. Try exercise or meditation activities. Use your strong sense of intuition and understanding to your advantage by creating strong meaningful relationships with colleagues and being a voice for those around you. Having a support system at work with your colleagues/friends/manager can help you feel less isolated and more understood. Communicate with your manager when you are feeling stressed or where your limitations lay, they may be able to provide you with the support or resources to help you get through your workload. As an empath, it is important to take care of yourself. Thus, in turn, will help you thrive in your workplace, as an employer/manager of an empath, it is in your best interests to nourish the empaths in your business, they could turn out to be your biggest assets.

What a transformation! Big changes from long and blonde to Cowgirl Copper, done by Sume Drotsky. Click the image below to view the Instagram post. Process: 1st we cut off most of her length to avoid colour wastage. I then prepped the hair by spraying #fiberplexschwazkopf primer section by section. We then did a global colour all over using #igoraroyal 5-65 & 5-57 & 5-7 equal parts with Vibrance 6 volume lotion developer for 35min. Afterwards I neatened her hair by cutting the desired length - one length & we also added some soft layering in-front around her face. Blow waves her hair using the #ghdhelios hairdryer & styled with some beach waves using the #ghdgold Stylist: Sume Drotsky Products: Schwarzkopf Professional Salon: Nudo Hair Lab, Pretoria Follow Sumenine on Facebook @sume_nudo_hair_lab @nudohairlab_pta @nudohairlab_on799 We'd love to feature your work!
