The collection ‘Brides with their own Style’ (‘Novias con Estilo Propio’ in Spanish) is inspired by the unique and special light of every bride. On the one hand, it reflects a divinized image with wavy hair that cascades and updos with ribbons, where the value of craftsmanship is emphasized as a personalized and tailored luxury. From there, feminine power becomes sophisticated with elaborate updos full of volume and presence.

Nioxin’s Global Research† into the psychological impact of hair thinning, in partnership with Yale University psychologist Dr Marianne LaFrance, reveals how people experience thinning hair globally at all ages and walks of life. The research confirmed that some people with thinning hair hold back from living a fuller life. In fact, more than a quarter of respondents stated they would avoid social interactions if they experienced hair thinning. Most concerned with hair thinning (68%) are 25 to 34-year-olds. This group indexed higher in agreeing with ‘My thinning hair makes me feel self-conscious’. Help is at hand for thinning hair clients As a stylist, your skills give you the power to transform lives. Nioxin, the No 1 salon brand[1] for thicker, fuller looking hair[2], gives you the tools to do just that. Customised Nioxin in-salon therapies are tailored to address the 3Ds – the three main causes of hair thinning: Derma, Density, and Diameter. In-salon therapies concentrate on scalp, roots and strands to deliver thicker, fuller-looking hair… and newfound confidence for all your clients! Derma – Scalp Cleansing Thinning hair concern: Inflamed or irritated scalp. Solution: A scalp that is clean and free from debris is the ideal environment for healthy, deeply rooted hair. Suggested in-salon therapy DERMA RENEW THERAPY to renew the scalp environment A facial for the scalp. Dermabrasion anti-ageing treatment with Scalp Infusion Technology accelerates scalp surface regeneration through exfoliation and removes build-up around follicles. Dermabrasion is recommended only every 30-45 days. This therapy takes 20–25 minutes. Density – Root Resilience Thinning hair concern: Noticeably fewer hair strands overall. Solution: Nioxin’s solution protects against damage and helps reduce hair loss due to breakage. Suggested in-salon therapy DENSITY PROTECT THERAPY for deep hair protection A conditioning treatment for lengths that strengthens the hair against damage by reducing breakage by up to 97%[3] leaving it smooth and manageable. This therapy takes 15–20 minutes. Thinning hair concern: Noticeably fewer hair strands in patches.

Conditions hair and forms a barrier to help protect against cuticle damage. This therapy takes 10–15 minutes. Diameter – Strands Boost Thinning hair sign: Finer hair strands. Solution: Nioxin amplifies hair texture to deliver thicker, fuller-looking hair. Suggested in-salon therapy DIAMETER BOOST THERAPY improves hair diameter Increases the diameter and thickens hair from the roots, to make it feel like there are 11,000[3] more hairs3.

During the innocence of art and creative, child-directed play we unknowingly learn the basics of colour theory from a young age. We stumble across primary and secondary colour principals by experimenting and playing with coloured paints and dyes, mindlessly mixing to create new colours and tones. I reminisce on the wonder and delight of craft as a child, smearing colours together in a butterfly painting or using hands and fingers to mix paints, seeing captivating new colours come to life. Children experience the excitement of discovery whilst fusing playing with learning, and developing creativity. Experienced artists must master colour theory. There are rules and guidelines around mixing and the use of colour in our design. However, by removing over-complicated formulas and ratios out of the equation, stripping back the creative process and re-learning how to play with colour, this collection was born.

Dear EOHCB Member, As of the 22nd of June 2022, the National Health Act Regulations concerning COVID-19 have been repealed. There seems to be a lot of confusion concerning employer obligations. We wish to provide employers with clarification in this regard. The National Health Act Regulations have repealed three things. The first thing which was repealed was the wearing of face masks in indoor public places. The second thing which was repealed is the restrictions on gatherings, and the third thing is the regulations about entering South Africa. Now, members, the National Health Act Regulations that have been repealed obviously do not mean that the Labour Law Regulations are repealed. In other words, the Hazardous Biological Agents Regulations, as well as the Code of Practice on Managing COVID-19 in the workplace, remain part of the landscape. This is not to say that the wearing of face masks in the workplace is still required. What it does say is the following: Employers still need to do and keep their workplace risk assessments updated. The outcome of the risk assessments under the code of practice and the Hazardous Biological Agents regulations will then dictate your response as a business in terms of ventilation, the wearing of face masks, sanitisers, symptom screening, etc. The regular updating of risk assessments is critical and if you are going to remove the wearing of face masks in the workplace, then you need to revisit your workplace risk assessment and workplace plan and then accordingly change your workplace regulations around Personal Protective Equipment, Ventilation, and sanitisers, etc. We hope that this provides clarity to our members and should you wish to engage about your employer obligations in so far as COVID-19, please feel free to contact the EOHCB. We are also offering assistance with Risk Assessments considering the repeal and the fact that the Personal Care Sector is still regarded as a sector at high risk of exposure to COVID-19. Our contact details are on our website - www.eohcb.co.za Lifting of remaining Covid-19 pandemic protocols welcomed – “let’s play it safe”: Employment and Labour Minister, Nxesi 23 June 2022 Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi has taken notice of the lifting by Health Minister Joe Phaahla of the remaining Covid-19 protocols. Nxesi said the Department of Employment and Labour supports the intention. However, Nxesi cautioned that the lifting up of the remaining Covid-19 protocols does not mean employers must "adopt a cavalier attitude towards health and safety in their workplaces".　 Health Minister Phaahla has announced the lifting of mandatory use of masks as well as removal of restrictions on gatherings as South Africa experiences low Covid-19 infections and related deaths. "The health and safety of workers remain a priority for our labour market. The Code of Practice on the Management of Exposure to Sars-Cov-2 in the Workplace remains the guiding principle on matters of health and safety in the workplace and is still the responsibility of all leaders to design an inclusive environment that promotes safety and makes workers comfortable in the workplace," Nxesi emphasised. The Code provides a guide to employers and workers as to what are reasonably practicable measures in managing SARS-CoV-2 (the Covid virus). Hazardous biological agents, of which the SARS-Cov-2 is one, are regulated by the Regulations for Hazardous Biological Agents.　 This Regulation places a statutory obligation on employers to conduct a risk assessment to determine measures to limit infection and, transmission and mitigate the risk of serious illness or death of an employee or other persons who may be directly affected by the activities of the workplace, such as visitors, customers, and contractors.　 For media enquiries contact: Teboho Thejane Departmental Spokesperson Tel: 082 697 0694 Email: Teboho.Thejane@labour.gov.za Issued by Department of Employment and Labour EOHCB Contact Details Web: www.eohcb.co.za Facebook: www.facebook.com/eohcb Instagram: www.instagram.com/eohcbsa/ Twitter: twitter.com/eohcbsa

Certified Vegan product No harmful ingredients No dangerous fumes The 72 Hair Story: For The Love of Hair 72 Hair believe in keeping things simple. 72 Hair is a keratin smoothing range, specifically designed to tame the frizz out in all hair types. This formaldehyde-free keratin treatment does not chemically change the hair structure, but rather bonds with the internal hair structure to eliminate frizz, and allow more manageability of the hair, whilst strengthening the hair and giving extreme shine. Same-Day Smooth and Tint What’s also fantastic about 72 Hair Smoothing System is that you can tint on the SAME day without any change to the colour pigments. The general trend nowadays is not dead straight hair, but natural looking, manageable hair with movement, with a shorter blow dry time. By changing the development time and amount of time you flatiron the hair, you can either eliminate frizz whilst keeping the curl, or you can extend the development time, and number of passes with an iron to have a straighter, smoother finish, giving more flexibility to your clients’ needs. Long-lasting Effects Being a progressive treatment, it means that the more the client has it done in salon (usually every 12 weeks), the straighter and longer lasting the effect is.

Know your industry and keep informed with the Council’s assistance. The Bargaining Council provides a forum of mutual respect and understanding in which discussions and negotiations can take place, and collective agreements can be formulated, between the representative bodies of UASA THE UNION (representing employees) and the EOHCB (Employers’ Organisation for Hairdressing, Cosmetology and Beauty), representing employers. EXTENSION OF PERIOD OF OPERATION OF THE MAIN COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT The operation of the Main Collective Agreement of the National Bargaining Council for Hairdressing, Cosmetology, Beauty, and Skincare Industry has been extended for the period to 30 June 2023 (Notice No. R2141 in Government Gazette No. 46517 dated 10 June 2022). PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS WHILE ON UNPAID LEAVE OR TEMPORARY ABSENCE: Hairdressing Beauty and Skincare Industry Pension Fund The HBSI Front Office has issued a letter stressing the importance of continued payment of premiums during unpaid leave for whatever reason, including maternity leave or impending disability. We had a couple of cases where the employee`s sick leave and normal leave were exhausted, put on unpaid leave and passed-away before the impending disability claim was submitted. We need to highlight that the principal of “no premium no cover” applies to all group life schemes and that cover ceases on date of last contribution received, irrespective of an impending claim or not. The insurer/s came back confirming that if a member does not appear on a membership list, no claim will be paid on date of assessment and applies to all claims, i.e. Death, Disability, Critical Illness and Funeral. This also applies in cases where members are Maternity Leave for a period of time. These employees needs to be flagged as “Temporary Absence” on the monthly schedules submitted to the Bargaining Council. It is therefore crucial for Employers to ensure that premiums continue whilst on unpaid leave for whatever reason such as Maternity Leave or impending Disability for example, so that cover can continue until the employee returns to work or the assessment of the impending claim has been finalised. During this time of temporary absence, only Employer contributions are payable and calculated as follows: These amounts need to be paid to the Bargaining Council whilst the person is on Maternity Leave or Impending Disability. NB: this percentage can change, so confirm before deducting. Please see attached letter. Contributions – Maternity and Disability ALERT TO EMPLOYERS AND RETIREMENT FUNDS FROM THE FINANCIAL SECTOR CONDUCT AUTHORITY The Financial Sector Conduct Authority has issued a communication (Communication 17 of 2022) to alert Employers and Retirement Funds concerning Arrear Contributions. This communication is meant to alert retirement funds and employers regarding arrear contributions by retirement funds and employers. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (“the Authority”) intends to publish the names of those retirement funds and employers who are in arrears. Arrear contributions arise when employers: • deduct retirement contributions from employees’ salaries and do not transmit this money into the bank account of a retirement fund, or • fail to transmit employer contributions, in terms of the retirement funds’ (in which they participate) rules, into the fund’s bank account. Arrear contributions do not arise in instances where the fund and employer have registered and applied rules which enable the suspension of contribution payments for a period. Important Notes: • In terms of Section 13A of the Pension Funds Act, 1956 (Act No. 24 of 1956) (“PFA”), funds have 7 days after the expiration of the period in respect of which contributions are due, to pay the contributions over to the funds. • Section 37(1) of the PFA makes the contravention of section 13A (non-payment of contributions) a criminal offence, with consequences of potential personal liability for the directors. • Our preliminary statistics indicate that municipalities and private sector companies have approximately R1 billion and R6 billion arrear contributions, respectively. This compromises good outcomes for members of funds who would have to retire short of their full retirement benefits. Intention to publish of names of retirement funds and employers with arrear contributions • Retirement funds and employers are hereby formally alerted to an imminent publication of the names of employers and funds with arrear contributions. The Authority is currently compiling the list and checking the accuracy of the value of arrear contributions. • Retirement funds must immediately share this communication with the employers. Enquiries For further information regarding this Communication please contact the Authority by emailing Ms. Corlia Buitendag, at cornelia.buitendag@fsca.co.za Please take note of the contents of the attached communication. FSA Communication 17 of 2022 Announcement – KZN Appointment of Designated Agent: KZN The Council is pleased to announce that Ms Niksha Nilchand has been appointed as a Designated Agent in our KZN Division and will be working out of our Durban Office.
