“This collection is a bit like a mixtape. I wanted my first collection to be for me and symbolise the headspace I was in at that time. I created this collection with zero budget, it is purely a collaboration between me and my models. I had just comeback from my first holiday in three years and upon returning home I heard the song 'Aventine' by Agnes Obel and in the fuzz of relaxation I had never felt more like myself in that one moment. With this in mind I wanted to create a collection of elevated casualness. Hair and photography: Roman Sys, Brooks & Brooks, London Make-up: Emma Vickers Design: Ivory Raine

What a change! An incredible transformation done by Melanie Backlund from Shag High Voltage Hair in Port Elizabeth. Click the image below to see the Instagram post. My guest came in with the perfect canvas! She had completely natural colour, and was super ready for a massive change but still preferred the idea of a low maintenance look. The method: A combination of teasylights and chunky woven and backcombed slices. I kept these fairly scattered to ensure a good amount of natural depth was maintained. The formula: Lightener - I used Schwarzkopf BlondMe and 7 vol Glaze - I used Schwarzkopf Vibrance 9,5-1 + 9,5-5 (2:1 ratio) and 6 volume gel Stylist: Melanie Backlund Salon: Shag High Voltage Hair, Port Elizabeth Products: Schwarzkopf Professional Follow Melanie on Instagram @hairbymelx We'd love to feature your work! To get your styles, looks or colour formulas featured in Hairnews, send them either to brad@hairnews.co.za or DM them directly to our Hairnews Instagram page.

Modern Hair & Beauty has expanded its brand stable to include GLOW, a range of premium grade, 100% certified, pure hydrolysed collagen powder products. The range includes Pure Collagen with Verisol™, Collagen Coffee, and Collagen Creamer. GLOW pure collagen delivers Good Life Optimal Wellness – with only half a teaspoon a day! One of the fastest growing health and food markets worldwide is the collagen supplement industry. Expert research analysis shows that the collagen market in the Middle East and Africa region (MEA) is expected to grow from USD 598.57 million in 2021 to U$D 897.04 million by 2029*. That’s a compound annual growth rate of 5.3%. According to Forbes, the global collagen market was at an estimated $3.5 billion in 2018 and jumped to $8.36 billion in 2020 with anticipated growth to $16.70 billion by 2028. SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY With projections like these, and as a business owner in the beauty and wellness industry, it’s a no-brainer that adding GLOW collagen products to your retail offering will grow your business and increase your profits. You already have a captive audience. All you need is to think like a futurist and embrace the opportunity to grow with GLOW. THE PATH OF COLLAGEN THROUGH TIME The healing benefits of collagen have been known since the 1100s, but it was only in the mid-1970s that collagen use began to gain traction. In its early period, it was used mainly as a binding agent for meat products. Studies in the mid-1980s delivered positive evidence of increased joint mobility with collagen production in joint cartilage. As its efficacy became known, its popularity grew and by the late 1990s it was being used in hundreds of cosmetic products to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Increasingly over time collagen was added as an ingredient in many types of foodstuffs. Fast forward to a new century and the demand for pure, ingestible collagen has gone through the roof. Improved technology and decades of research leaves us at our most knowledgeable ever. We know that our bodies naturally produce collagen to maintain the health of connective tissue, skin, hair, teeth, and other body parts. As we age, our bodies begin to slow the natural production of collagen. By the time we reach mid-life we produce less than half of this vital protein needed to function optimally. Now, thanks to premium grade GLOW collagen products, declining levels can easily be restored returning us to optimal wellness – with only half a teaspoon a day! GLOW COLLAGEN PRODUCT RANGE GLOW is 100% certified, pure hydrolysed collagen and comprises only animal collagen, the most effective and most concentrated form of collagen for the body. It is produced from bovine raw materials sourced from Brazil. Animals are grass-fed and comply with all regulations for collagen production. All products are blended in an ISO certified food grade facility. Halaal certified. GLOW PURE COLLAGEN contains Verisol™ bioactive peptides which influence the skin’s collagen production from the inside when taken orally. Verisol™ increases the skin’s moisture making it an important component in the support of firmer skin with fewer wrinkles, reduced cellulite and stronger, healthier hair and nails. ZERO aftertaste. Suggested daily intake: 2,5 g (½ teaspoon) dissolved in hot or cold water. Yield per 300g pack: 120 GLOW COLLAGEN COFFEE is a fine blend of pure hydrolysed collagen and the purest Mocha to counteract the loss of the body’s natural collagen production. The fine coffee aroma and rich flavour will leave you wanting cup after cup of this extended benefit beverage! ZERO aftertaste. Suggested serving: 5 g (1 teaspoon) dissolved in 1 cup boiling water. Yield per 300g pack: 60 GLOW COLLAGEN VANILLA CREAMER is a blend of pure hydrolysed collagen and calcium. It offers a perfect combination to enhance the flavour of your favourite cuppa, while counteracting the loss of collagen production. Suggested serving: 15 g (1 tablespoon) dissolved in hot or cold beverage. ZERO aftertaste. Yield per 300g pack: 20 TESTIMONIALS Less is more! From using only half a teaspoon of Pure Collagen a day, I have seen a difference in the condition of my nails. My skin looks smoother too. Even the sleeping wrinkles I usually get on my chest after a nap seem to have disappeared! And another benefit ... there no funny taste like some other products I have tried. It actually doesn’t taste of anything. CHRIZELLE – Engineer I’ve introduced GLOW Pure Collagen into my daily routine. With previous products, I experienced extreme cramping and discomfort, but not with GLOW. I’m very happy with the results. My gut health has improved substantially. NATASHA – IBS and acid reflux sufferer I have been using GLOW Pure Collagen for quite some time. It helps me maintain bone strength and overall health while I train for endurance events. I also see great results in my skin appearance, especially for a guy who trains outdoors in all conditions, I think it's important to practice self-care! TIAAN – Endurance Athlete I have joint hypermobility which has caused debilitating arthritis flare-ups in middle-age. Since using GLOW I have not needed to use anti-inflammatory medication. I hope this continues with long-term use. I’ve been using half a teaspoon of Pure Collagen in the morning and another at night. No aftertaste at all.

A lifestyle brand for the young and young at heart, ELEVEN Australia is the fresh approach to hair and body care. Starting in 2011 with the now iconic Miracle Hair Treatment, ELEVEN Australia has now grown to an award-winning 35-product range for everyone. Since its launch the world has quickly fallen for ELEVEN Australia too, with the brand now available in 29 countries globally including the UK, USA, Canada & now OFFICIALLY SOUTH AFRICA. ELEVEN Australia have teamed up with two industry icons as Co-Creative Directors, celebrity hairstylist and Four-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year, Joey Scandizzo and Australian Photographer of the year, Andrew O’Toole. Through their work on-set and the salon floor to photoshoots and fashion shows, this dynamic duo recognised a gap in the market for a fresh, fun and self-explanatory range with products that simplify your hair and body care routine by doing exactly what they say they will. Together, they helped create ELEVEN Australia – a brand that embodies the lifestyle of the Southern Hemisphere. “As a stylist who still works in a salon as well as doing hair on shoots and runway shows, I felt the need for a range that both customers and stylists could understand,” explains Scandizzo. “Having shot for some of the biggest hair care brands and celebrity stylists over the past 10 years, I have a good understanding of what works for hair and beauty imagery and what doesn’t. Now to create such a vibrant and fun brand with ELEVEN Australia is as good as it gets!” adds O’Toole. CRUELTY-FREE AND PETA APPROVED, ELEVEN Australia products call on high performing natural ingredients for maximum efficiency. From hydrating Australian Desert Lime Desert lime to antioxidant-rich Australian Quandong Desert Peach to conditioning avocado oil and nourishing macadamia oil, ELEVEN Australia also has a selection of VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE products so there is truly something for everyone! ELEVEN Australia, products that work. Sustainable. Simple.
