South Africans are rejoicing and the world is celebrating that the beautiful Zonzibini Tunzi has won Miss Universe 2019. What makes this win even more special is that Zonzibini wore her hair natural, in a beautiful cut. Of course, hair has ended up being the topic of many discussions on her win, and rightly so, as it’s a huge step forward for proud wearers of natural hair, to have their beauty acknowledged. Zonzibini’s famous response to her final question of the pageant has already been widely shared, and is something that every South African should take to heart. What an inspiration. "I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me — with my kind of skin and my kind of hair — was never considered to be beautiful. I think it is time that that stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want them to see their faces reflected in mine." You might also enjoy...

In November, Veaudry ran a fabulous competition where the lucky winner would walk away with a full set of Veaudry International stylers and accessories to the value of R10,000. This competition attracted huge interest among stylists and clients who were competing for the awesome prize of Veaudry’s award-winning technology. This competition made so many waves that Veaudry decided to award the top three contestants with a fabulous prize as these three hairstyles were all exquisite. The winner of the R10,000 main prize is Jayde Roxy from Eastside Cartel in Cape Town "My client Bianca Bosch came in to get a quick treatment and said she was then heading for an audition, the movie was set in the 1950's So I thought well let's give you a quick 50's look using my Veaudry mini styler. Using Veaudry stylers make creating simple vintage looks, so quick and easy." Second place and a magnificent Veaudry hamper went to Cristen Thomas from Xpertease in Johannesburg. Cristen says, “With the Veaudry Wand being such a versatile styling tool, I wanted to challenge myself! I was inspired to create a classic look with a distinct wave and a modern edge.” Third place went to Thandiwe Buyeye who is a client, not a stylist, but her fabulous salon-fresh waves won her a Veaudry hamper. We will feature mini interviews with Jayde and Cristen in a future issue of Hairnews later in December, and find out more about the steps that went into creating their stunning looks, as well as their predictions for texture trends in the upcoming months. "I'm so inspired by the exceptional work from so many South African stylists that I see on our social media pages on a daily bases. I was excited to keep up this momentum by encouraging more people to get involved by adding the Veaudry giveaway. I wanted the prize to add top quality hair tools and accessories to their kits, these stylers make use of tourmaline technology and temperature control.. We are all about technology that cares, not only for your hair but also stylists and their careers too!

Every day, hair is subjected to physical and chemical stress due to ageing, lifestyle, chemical treatments, and the use of brushes and tools. Over time, this weakens the hair and makes it unruly, brittle and dull. Lady Keratin is a professional programme that takes only 20 minutes and consists of 3 easy steps. The programme consists of intensive restructuring and widespread renewal. The innovative complex with active keratin deeply reconstructs damaged hair, restoring hydration, strength and brightness. Hair is left regenerated, elastic and renewed. Benefits of Keratin Keratin is concentrated in our hair, nails and skin. In hair, one of its main functions is to ensure the impermeability of the hair shaft, maintaining correct hydration. When keratin is lost, hair becomes dry, brittle and lifeless. It loses volume and shine and becomes thinner and more fragile. Rich in sulphur, keratin chains keep the hair structure tight and healthy. Keratin provides strength, resilience and beauty. It protects and moisturises the hair. Products Hair Bath – this prepares hair for the deep restructuring treatment, deep cleansing and gently opening the cuticles. Hair Booster – this restructuring intensive treatment is based on active keratin, orchid and green tea extract to increase hair’s strength and leave it stronger, bright and regenerated. Hair Filler Mask – this nourishes, restores and fortifies, improving and rebuilding the hair as well as sealing the cuticle so that the benefits of the previous steps are retained.

Research done by short term lender Wonga in their second annual Festive Spending Survey has shown that South Africans will spend an average of R6,585 during the festive season, over and above their usual budgets. This means that a total of R254 billion will be pumped into the economy, which is an increase of 24% from last year. Wonga has said that 60% of people think they will spend more this festive season than they did in 2018, despite the tough economy. Most people have either saved throughout the year, or else plan on using their bonuses in order to cope with this expense. Gifts make up about 20% of festive budgets, with many people treating themselves to a gift this Christmas as well as spending money on others. In terms of gift choices, money and vouchers are at the top of the list. Although traditional stores have dropped in popularity by 6% since 2018 thanks to online shopping, 75% of shoppers have said they plan to visit stores to buy their festive gifts. Many South Africans are not travelling this festive season as they perceive it to be too expensive, and the favourite way for most South Africans to spend the festive season is with family and friends – but for those who are going away, Durban is the most popular destination.
