- Styles: Warriors by Ivan Rodriguez, Mexico
Future has a feminine outline, full of strength and power. Only through the awareness of this force can the powerful rise of these warriors be understood. An exercise of confidence in themselves, knowing their victory and the prominence they already deserve. To prove it, they appear accompanied by sharp details, in a confident attitude and with long manes, like the scope of their power. The different updos blur the strength of their manes, but enhance their beauty even more.

- Reminder - Important Updates from the National Bargaining Council
• KZN Sick Benefit Fund changes • Extension for Learners Registered with City & Guilds • Notice Regarding Council Returns Changes to the Sick Benefit Fund Coverage for KZN members for allowable GPs Sick Benefit Fund (KZN) On 1 July 2022, the provision of a network of retained GPs for the purposes of providing medical services to members of the Sick Benefit Fund (KZN) was replaced with a more flexible approach which allows for members to consult a GP of their choice. The notice that was sent to members on 23 June 2022 can be accessed through this link: HAIRDRESSING AND COSMETOLOGY (hcsbc.co.za) In response to concerns by members that the current scheme hampers or even prevents participation by members who do not live within the vicinity of the retained GPs’ medical practices. Members also indicated that they would prefer an option to consult a Medical Practitioner of their choice. The Council’s Sick Funds Management Committee considered this feedback, and it was decided that an approach should be adopted that was more inclusive. With effect from 1 July , 2022, members will have the flexibility of consulting a GP of their choice and will be allocated an annual amount (R1100) that may be claimed in respect of a maximum of four GP consultations/visits per annum ie., R275.00 per visit/consultation. The Claims process remains the same. Members must submit their claim forms, together with the doctor’s account and proof of payment to sickpayfund@hcsbc.co.za. The provision of a network of retained GPs for the purposes of providing medical services to members of the Sick Benefit Fund (KZN) will cease on 30 June 2022. Those members who are patients of the doctors who are currently on retainer, may of course continue to consult with them as their GP of choice. However, it would be in a private capacity and not as required or provided for in the current Rules. For complete information, please click HERE for the full notice. Important Extension Notification for Learners Registered with City & Guilds Extension of the Period for Completion of the City & Guilds Industry Qualification Final Practical Assessments (FPAs) The period for the completion of the City & Guilds Industry Qualification Final Practical Assessments has been extended to June 2023 to ensure that City & Guilds centres can exit candidates who are registered against the City & Guilds Industry Qualification (3002- 72/3002-74). Please kindly inform any affected individuals within your establishments of the extension of the end date for the FPAs. Furthermore, please kindly request that they submit their contact details with an indication of whether or not they intend to complete their FPAs to Zola@hcsbc.co.za. Urgent Notice Regarding Returns via Email For those of you who do not receive your Returns electronically, you can access the document on the Council’s website www.hcsbc.co.za. We are again appealing to all establishments who have previously elected to receive their Returns by way of post, to opt for email correspondence. The Council is considering the introduction of a postage charge going forward. The change to your option can be notified to the Council by way of an email to amend@hcsbc.co.za. If you need more help, please don’t hesitate to contact your local area agent http://hcsbc.co.za/contact-us/#contact-agents For more information, contact: www.hcsbc.co.za
- Styles: Perspective by Team Twins Hair and Beauty, Netherlands
New era, new perspective! It’s a new day, a new season, a new era! The creativity of Team Twins was unstoppable during those strange lockdown months. As a result, we proudly present you our brand-new Perspective Collection! Another collaboration with our photo shoot dream team: Petra Holland (photographer), Darien Touma (make-up artist) and Annet Veerbeek (styling). Again, we got out of the box. This time we tried to put the 80s, 90s and zero’s into a different perspective. An exciting combination of crazy, lovely, inspiring, colourful, glamorous decades. A touch of pastel, bold textures and exuberant colours to create your own identity. Fresh, quirky, chic and fun. That’s what our Perspective Collection is all about. The hairstyles are based on the powerful aesthetics of het 80s. Variable lengths and cropped layers provide instant volume, harmony and last but certainly not least: the cool factor. Oh, and here’s our motto when it comes to volume: more is more people! A new decade is the ultimate excuse for a subtle or less subtle hair colour change. Our success tips: Give your hairstyle a volume boost with texture products live sea salt spray and mouse. We use tape-in extensions to achieve longer hairstyles and create gorgeous hair make-overs. They are easy to apply, don’t damage your hair and provide a natural look.

- Nioxin: August is Hairloss Awareness Month
For as long as humans have been conscious of hair loss, we have concocted restorative remedies in an attempt to combat hair loss. It is said that as far back as 4000 BCE, Egyptians ground and cooked a mixture of donkey hooves, dates, dog paws and oil. In Ancient Greece around 375 BCE, Aristotle argued for the efficacy of goat urine while Hippocrates endorsed a mixture of opium, pigeon poo, spices, horseradish, and beet root. Later still, in 50 BCE the Romans rubbed a mixture of urine and burned donkey genital ash onto the head. Centuries later and we are still impacted by the role that hair loss plays on social life, insecurities, and mental health. Focus on Female Hair Loss NIOXIN, the world’s number one brand for thinning hair, takes a closer look during Hairloss Awareness Month at how hair loss affects women. Despite millions of people believing that hair loss is something that ‘only happens to men’, more than 4 in 10 women have actually suffered from it. By surveying and interviewing a group of 2,000 women over the age of 18, NIOXIN was able to find out what women really thought and felt about hair loss. As it turns out, female hair loss is much more prevalent than one may have originally thought; with 31% claiming to have experienced ‘mild’ hair thinning and nearly 1 in 10 having lost whole clumps of hair in one go or noticing bald spots. However, it wasn’t only the physical effects of hair loss that rendered insightful results; with 79% of women admitting that their locks are a huge part of who they are, it was hardly surprising more than one in 10 sufferers had sought professional help due to the impact it had on their mental health. The Stigma and Emotional Effects of Female Hair Loss Hair loss affects the way some women live their day-to-day lives; with 14% having refused to look in mirrors, 12% having edited pictures before posting on social media and 7% even cancelling dates, all due to their physical appearance of hair loss. The study also found that 72% of all women believe that there is a stigma around hair loss in females. As a result, 59% would hide the condition from strangers, work colleagues and even their own friends and family. This means many women are suffering in silence, even though 38% acknowledged that thinning hair would impact their mental health, and 29% going as far as to say it would likely leave them feeling depressed. These statistics highlight that there’s a lot of work that needs to be done in terms of opening up a conversation and breaking down the stigma that currently surrounds female hair loss. The Root of Female Hair Loss Even though female hair loss may usually be associated with women of an older age, the study found that of the women who had suffered hair loss, they first spotted signs of the condition at an average age of 34 years old, but nearly one in 10 (11%) noticed it as young as 18. In terms of the causes of female hair loss, 45% put it down to general stress and more than 1 in 10 (12%) believe it was a result of having Covid-19. Others blamed their thinning hair on pregnancy (19%), a poor diet (20%) or a separate health issue (25%). Nioxin Can Help Women Deal With Hair Loss Though some of these statistics may sound disheartening, hair loss is a problem that can be managed through the help of the right products and a healthy diet. Most people should be able to keep their hair loss under control or even prevent it from happening in the future. Mark Blake, Nioxin trichologist: “The key piece of advice I can offer is not to ignore thinning hair or hair loss, because the longer you leave the problem the less likely you are to find a solution. Acting quickly in seeking advice is essential, particularly in severe cases, it is the first 12 months that are the most crucial. Nioxin products offer genuinely incredible solutions for so many people suffering from thinning hair. It’s a great place to start.” 1 globally selling 2 value data Kline & Company Become a NIOXIN stockist and help your clients combat hair loss.
