These days, more and more clients are suffering from hair loss, thinning hair, or battling with hair growth. Very often, this problem starts from within. Hair growth can be affected by many factors, including diet, hormonal factors, or stress. Did you know that 60% of hair loss sufferers would rather have hair than money or friends? Did you know that almost half of hair loss sufferers would spend their life savings to regain a full head of hair? There are many different causes and contributing factors to hair loss as it is a very complex subject. Hair loss is also a vitally important topic for salons to be educated on as knowledge is power, and can help you to help your clients and offer them the right advice and solutions. Trichotin is offering salons a “crash course” in trichology to educate and update you on the very latest hair loss information and knowledge, to help you help your clients. This super-informative course can be held either for an individual or for a small group via skype or once the lockdown is over, at your premises. If you are interested, get in touch now. We would love to share more info on what this involves and book a time.

The fund set up by the Rupert family to support small businesses has been overwhelmed by applications from SMMEs and sole proprietors hoping to get relief to tide them over during this difficult time. In just three days the fund has exceeded its R1-billion limit by a substantial amount and so the site has been temporarily closed. The Rupert fund is pleading with other big businesses to contribute to try and meet this very urgent need from South Africa’s affected business owners. As and when the site reopens for applications, we will publish it asap. You might also enjoy...

“There is a haircut inspired by the mullet fishermen of the 60s and the 70s who, to protect themselves from sunburn in the nape, grew their hair in the back of their necks. The English name for this type of fish (Mugilidae) is mullet, and that’s why the haircut took the same name.” Hair: Christian Ríos @ Christian Ríos Salón Salon Instagram: @Christianriossalon Hairdresser Instagram: @Khrystyan28 Photographer and Retouch: Esteban Roca Instagram: @esteban_roca_photo MUA: Nacho Sanz Instagram: @nacho_sanz_makeup Stylist: Christian Ríos, Rosa Hernando Designs, Yaidelin Peralta Instagram: @rosahernando_designs @yaidelinperalta Products: Revlon Professional, Kevin Murphy Instagram: @revlonprofessional_es@kevinmurphyspain Models: Belén, Tyler, Maria, Luu, Paula You might also enjoy...

Astrologist Zema predicts your stars for April. For a full personalised reading, you can contact her on 083 430 1456. ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Here we go again Aries! The new start of a new year for you - what more could you ask for? Weelll …there are a few things that you could do for yourself, as you appear to have found that various people you depended on are not The Ones. You have a wonderful money-making idea but are held back by various self-doubts. Get with it Aries! You’ve got the strength and the energy. Success is just around the corner. Get with it! TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY You really have to make a plan or two if you want to move forward in this magical year. You have so many ideas, you need to discuss them with someone you really trust. You will be amazed how well you can do! This could also bring about the romantic path you’ve been searching for. (the Universe is breathing a sigh of relief)! However, do be careful who you speak to - sometimes your judgement of people is a bit off-ish … GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE Gem! You’re doing pretty well with what you searched for for so long, whether its work, love, whatever - you’re on the right road! (at last!). However, DO make lists and stick to them and try not to see two sides to every word spoken before you make a move. If you have a Love decision to make, time to pay attention. And the decision you have to make must NOT be for the wrong reasons. Think carefully and do it carefully. Go!! CANCER 21 JUNE - 21 JULY When you want to achieve something, you’re very good at getting it done, as you are outgoing, good with people, and can see every side of a story. In this case you are not doing too well with family, so maybe look at that from a different angle and life in general if you want to move forward. You CAN achieve anything you want to do, but do not hurt anybody along the way … Romance looks very good for some strange reason! LEO 22 JULY - 22 AUG Your energy has always been legendary, which is wonderful, depending on what you do with it. You really do have an attitude that can make people run like mad sometimes, but when you love, you LOVE!! Somebody loves you like mad and now would be a good time to pay attention to who it is and take some lessons in being GENTLE. TRY. You come across something you want to study. Good idea! Start. Now. VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP If you can put your Perfection obsession on the side for a while, you may find that you will at last look at the things in your life that have driven you a little madder than usual, and be surprised at how you have learned to deal with them. (We’ll ALL be!) Good going, Virg! You’ve learnt an awful lot of things. Use this to get what you’ve always wanted - money, True Love, new ideas, etc. Walk away from murder - you don’t need it. LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 Lib, you’ve done well in the last DY (Difficult Year) and have found ways down the Path after a lot of thinking, temper tantrums, throwing things at walls etc. Now is the time to embrace the New One coming to you, a Lovelife of note. Whether you are attached already or not makes no difference - things really change for you and suddenly you realise what True Love is. Just take it slowly and use your famous brain (?). SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV Right Scorp! New Year, new brain? Seems to be down that path. You come up with something astonishing that is going to impress a lot of people. (Please remember, if they don’t agree with you, hide sharp objects and walk away …). You seem to come up with an a amazing plan to surprise people like mad! Especially The Loved One who will be thrilled to bits and will see a new beginning in your relationship … SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC You need to look strongly at That Thing that has been wandering around your brain for some time. It would be a Good idea to get with it now, as it seems to be Good for a lot of people. This is the Year to do it. You’re actually very Good at dealing with people (as long as they agree with you …). The Lovelife looks Good as well. What more would you like? Maybe not get carried away and overdo it - use the Infamous brain. Go! CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 This could be the year when you realise that not EVERY detail counts - the most difficult decision is to choose between Yes and No. This applies to everything, especially your work situation. Think carefully, but not too long - a good offer could disappear over the horizon … True Love is calling, so wake up and answer. You’re so good at the Detail that drives everybody crazy, but keep at it if you don’t want to make a mistake. AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB Ah! Love is in the Air! You’ve been waiting so long you’ve given a thought to giving up. No way, you can’t let go! However, do not go searching for it, it will come to you easier than you think.. You tend to be a bit Dreeeamy when it comes to Romance, so pull yourself together and show this person what a Hero/Heroine you are. THEN … Walk The Path! The famous New Year is exactly the right time to do it. Go Go Go!! PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH Pisky! You are SO good at being The Greatest Lover on earth! You’re going to need it - somebody very special appears before you and you will never let go! Very happy for you but not for everybody, as so many people are jealous of you and your smoothness. The next year is going to be one of the best you’ve ever had. (This includes money, by the way!) You appear to also adopt a new hobby, which brings great enjoyment. You might also enjoy...

UPDATE: The Business Relief site has already gone over capacity as of Monday and the site is therefore temporarily closed to new applications, while the existing applications are processed. The site will open again as soon as additional funding can be sourced, and we will keep you updated. The details of Johann Rupert’s R1-billion donation to offset the effects of the Covid-19 crisis have been announced. Entrepreneurs (formal sole proprietors) can get a cash payment of R25,000 which is a once-off grant, and does not have to be repaid. Businesses can also apply for this cash payment, as well as a low interest loan of up to R1-million. The loan comes with a 12-month repayment holiday. What must businesses do? Businesses must be tax-compliant, and prove that they were viable before the coronavirus affected them. Documents and supporting evidence will be required to corroborate that the business was viable, and that after the onset of Covid-19, the business has experienced a decrease in turnover, erosion of working capital, or an inability to pay salaries. Sole proprietors will need to provide proof of an active bank account to show business activity prior to coronavirus, and will also need to be tax compliant. Payouts will be made as fast as possible and hopefully within seven days of application, if approved. How to Apply Applications must be made online, and you must have all the supporting documents available to submit with your application. Here is the website where you can apply: https://finance.businesspartners.co.za/welcome-to-the-sukuma-relief-programme/ With thanks to Business Insider and CNBC Africa for this information.

Social stigma in the context of health is the negative association between a person or group of people and a specific disease. In an outbreak, this may mean people are labelled, stereotyped, discriminated against, treated separately, and/or experience loss of status because of a perceived link with a disease. Such treatment can negatively affect those with the disease, as well as their caregivers, family, friends and communities. People who don’t have the disease but share other characteristics with this group may also suffer from stigma. The current COVID-19 outbreak has provoked social stigma and discriminatory behaviours against people of certain ethnic backgrounds as well as anyone perceived to have been in contact with the virus. WHY IS COVID-19 CAUSING SO MUCH STIGMA? The level of stigma associated with COVID-19 is based on three main factors: 1) it is a disease that’s new and for which there are still many unknowns; 2) we are often afraid of the unknown; and 3) it is easy to associate that fear with ‘others’. WHAT IS THE IMPACT? Stigma can undermine social cohesion and prompt possible social isolation of groups, which might contribute to a situation where the virus is more, not less, likely to spread. This can result in more severe health problems and difficulties controlling a disease outbreak. Stigma can: • Drive people to hide the illness to avoid discrimination • Prevent people from seeking health care immediately • Discourage them from adopting healthy behaviours HOW TO ADDRESS SOCIAL STIGMA When talking about coronavirus disease, certain words (i.e suspect case, isolation…) and language may have a negative meaning for people and fuel stigmatizing attitudes. They can perpetuate existing negative stereotypes or assumptions, strengthen false associations between the disease and other factors, create widespread fear, or dehumanise those who have the disease. This can drive people away from getting screened, tested and quarantined. DO - talk about the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Don’t - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”. The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatisation - the “co” stands for Corona, “vi” for virus and “d” for disease, 19 is because the disease emerged in 2019. DO - talk about “people who have COVID-19”, “people who are being treated for COVID-19”, “people who are recovering from COVID-19” or “people who died after contracting COVID19” Don’t - refer to people with the disease as “COVID-19 cases” or “victims” DO - talk about “people who may have COVID-19” or “people who are presumptive for COVID-19” Don’t - talk about “COVID-19 suspects” or “suspected cases”. DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” COVID-19 Don’t talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission and assigns blame. Using criminalising or dehumanising terminology creates the impression that those with the disease have somehow done something wrong or are less human than the rest of us. DO - speak accurately about the risk from COVID-19, based on scientific data and latest official health advice. Don’t - repeat or share unconfirmed rumours, and avoid using hyperbolic language designed to generate fear like “plague”, “apocalypse” etc. DO - talk positively and emphasise the effectiveness of prevention and treatment measures. For most people this is a disease they can overcome. There are simple steps we can all take to keep ourselves, our loved ones and the most vulnerable safe. Don’t - emphasise or dwell on the negative, or messages of threat. We need to work together to help keep those who are most vulnerable safe. DO - emphasise the effectiveness of adopting protective measures to prevent acquiring the new coronavirus, as well as early screening, testing and treatment. Misconceptions, rumours and misinformation are contributing to stigma and discrimination which hamper response efforts. • Correct misconceptions, at the same time as acknowledging that people’s feelings and subsequent behaviour are very real, even if the underlying assumption is false. Share sympathetic narratives, or stories that humanize the experiences and struggles of individuals or groups affected by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) Communicate support and encouragement for those who are on the frontlines of response to this outbreak (health care workers, volunteers, community leaders etc). Facts, not fear will stop the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) • Share facts and accurate information about the disease. • Challenge myths and stereotypes. • Choose words carefully. The way we communicate can affect the attitudes of others. With thanks to the Bargaining Council for this timely and important information! www.hcsbc.co.za You might also enjoy...
