Pumpkin Spice, Smurf's Up and Barbie Girl. PUMPKIN SPICE Netflix’s The Queen's Gambit caused quite a stir when it aired, and for die-hard dye fans, it was all about the lead, Anna Taylor Joy’s, hair colour. Sporting a beautiful 60s-style bob and micro fringe wig in a dazzling shade of crimson, the actress even prompted Gigi Hadid to dye her locks a similar shade of auburn recently. Red is always a winner for the autumn/winter months; its fiery connotations are a perfect match to the season of log fires and autumn leaves, however the beauty of this shade is that it can transform any style, adding some serious ‘wow’ along the way. This is what I call ‘real red’; it’s a deeper shade than a copper red, but lighter than auburn, however clients with a warmer skin tone will suit reds in more cinnamon, copper and ruby tones, while clients with cooler skin tones will suit berry, burgundy and crimson tones more. As a rule I say the darker the skin the deeper the shade, and the lighter the skin the softer, more sheer the shade. This global burnt copper hue from my Craft collection is, for me, the perfect new season hue: rich, deep and luxurious, it screams autumn/winter, and can be tailor made to suit the needs of each client, allowing you to make it as muted or intense as their new season hearts desire. SMURF’S UP Dolce + Gabbana always knows how to set the sartorial tone, and this season was no exception, where the duo rocked the runway with a veritable feast for the fashion senses. The show was a riot of colour, with models sporting neon bright clothing (inspired by artificial intelligence and the brand’s iconic looks from the 90s) fused with multi-coloured buzzcuts and standout blue mullets for some serious ‘look at me’ appeal. Blue is of course not a hair colour for the faint hearted of clients, but it can be used as light or as dark as they dare, for some serious ‘winter blues' appeal. A firm celebrity favourite over the years (Demi Lovato famously said you know you’ve made it when you can dye your hair blue) it’s a far cry from the days of the blue rinses favoured by grandmas, and now every celebrity from Katie Perry, Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenna and Rhianna have sported a sky blue hue. I love a very pale aqua blue, as pictured in my Graffiti colour collection, but remember that blue applied onto a yellow base will achieve a green, so ensure you’re working on as clean a base as possible, and the lighter the hue the cleaner it will need to be. True blues will of course experience fade into a more green hue, so advise clients to use a purple shampoo to keep the green at bay, too. BARBIE GIRL Pink is set to be one of the unlikely hair colour heroes of the A/W21 season. Traditionally a summer staple across instagram, this hue is set to take the new season by storm and has been sported on a host of male and female celebrities in recent months, including Lady Gaga, Chrissy Teigen, Madonna, Dua Lipa and Cruz Beckham. Pink looks great in all of its myriad incarnations, from blush and bubblegum to neon and fuchsia, it can be as subtle or as bold as clients dare. This is a colour that’s prone to fading fast, so advise your clients to shampoo less frequently, or to add a toning conditioner to their at-home regime to keep their colour hot in-between salon appointments. It’s much easier to achieve on lighter hair types with fair, cool complexions, although darker hair types can of course be pre-lightened pre-pink, or extensions added for those who want a quick fix without the upkeep. TH1 HAIR: was launched by multi award-winning hairstylist, Thomas Hills, in 2004.

A Vaccinated Industry is a Safe, Sustainable and Successful Industry This week we continue our exploration of the covid vaccination programme in South Africa as more and more businesses in South Africa look at making vaccination mandatory for employees and consumers. It’s becoming so important to help make an informed decision for ourselves, for the sake of our families, our friends, and for vulnerable people in our society. According to the recent News24 Special Projects publication below, the number of people being vaccinated against Covid-19 in South Africa is on the rise and vaccine acceptance in South Africa is now comparable to high-income countries such as Australia and Germany. But nearly one in four participants were still hesitant about getting vaccinated. About one in 15 were strongly opposed to vaccinations. Much of this seems to be because of underlying uncertainty and distrust. With all the misinformation that’s been making the rounds for months, we need a source that will help you be informed and reassured! Here's what you need to know about Covid-19 vaccines – and what you can ignore – to make an informed decision. Click HERE One of the more reassuring statistics that is now being seen as vaccination progresses is that getting vaccinated protects you from being hospitalised or dying of Covid-19. This was shown in last week’s social media share by the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences of what doctors are seeing at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on Sept 6 2021. Of the total number of 254 patients hospitalised at that point with Covid-19, only 3 had been vaccinated, and these patients only needed regular hospitalisation. Of the 66 in High Care/ICU and the 32 on ventilators, none had been previously vaccinated. This shows that getting vaccinated works to protect you! One of the most concerning questions is how vaccines actually work. In this video, Cheleka Mpande, a researcher at Eh!woza and Ph.D student in Immunology at the University of Cape Town, explains how vaccines work to train your body’s immune system to recognise intruders. Click below to watch. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • We’ve asked some of our top professionals in the industry to share their thoughts with us and each week we’ll be sharing their stories for you to enjoy. If you have a positive experience you’d like to share with us on the vaccine and the differences it’s made in your personal life or your salon and with your clients’ appreciation of their salon experiences, please send to Beth at beth@hairnews.co.za , with a photo you’d like us to use!

Exploring the journey of transformation as we seek alignment with our true nature, ‘Kenshō’ captures an awakening of the soul. Peeling away the surface of our very existence to see what lies beneath; a journey to enlightenment. Too often we are blissfully oblivious, pulled through life by energy we are unable to perceive, let alone control or harness. Precision structure and emotive movement depict the art of using breath, rituals and ceremonies to direct and shape our energy, bringing conscious thoughts into physical realm. Inspired by an awakened awareness and refinement of oneself, ‘Kenshō’ depicts a trembling of the spirit.
