Steven Rowbottom, co-director of Westrow salons, UK, reveals that crimping is a key trend for the upcoming autumn-winter season. However it’s not the same way that many hairstylists remember it, but rather done for a glamorous effect. The Halpern A/W18 show is an example. Here, models wore hair pulled tightly back into a sleek power pony with the entire length of the ponytail crimped and brushed out for serious body, texture and volume. To get the look, pull hair back into a sleek pony, using hairspray to keep flyaways at bay. Then, either plait the ponytail into multiple tiny braids, run hair straighteners over them, and then undo the plaits, or alternatively, use a pair of crimpers.

Astrologist Zema predicts your stars for November. For a full personalised reading, you can contact her on 083 430 1456. SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC Sag, you are surprising ALL of us! All of a sudden, nobody knows why, you seem to be managing your money better than you have in the past. Something or other has struck you! Keep at it - you may even end up being able to purchase that object you have been waiting for for so long, the Universe has practically fallen asleep… This will also impress the Loved One incredibly. What more could you ask for? (Say Thank You.) CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 You’ve been thinking about that fabulous job you’ve wanted for so long and done nothing about it. Now is the time to use your brain, think carefully and approach the subject with details at your fingertips. (This could take some energy…). This specific work has been waiting for you for a long time but it won’t be there forever. Love life also looks pretty good, so get up and moving - you’ve got an awful lot to do. Like now. AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB You’re not only good at remembering important things to show you the path to take, but you are also good at ignoring them. Do not ignore any more … your creative side is strong right now and you need to apply your attention to this to show everyone that you are the Hero/ Heroine. Even your love life will pick up at a speed as he/she realizes you’re making the effort at last. This will be a good start for the coming New Year. PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH Tired is fine after the long year that you’ve had, but giving in to it is a slight problem. So many people depend on you because you can always see both sides of the story (which also drives people crazy), but this gift will be put to the test very shortly. It appears to be connected somehow to your job, so pay attention. Speaking of attention, your partner could do with some too. How about a special day for the two of you together? ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Aries! Time to let go of the past and move on. Everybody who has hurt you in some way or another will have to pay for it spiritually. You need to look at yourself and decide what you want and then go for it, with the usual Aries energy. Time to have a re-look at your talents and start using them. People, for some reason, like you a lot. So talk to them. Lots. You may discover the most amazing people out there, but - be careful … TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY We all know that Taurus never gives up, and mostly, this is admirable, but sometimes it can birth murderous thoughts in people’s heads. So if you are after that Special One that you have been waiting for, how about you take a breath and, maybe, a step back? This might just inspire this person to move towards you instead of running in the opposite direction. You don’t have to give up, just - slow - down … You can do it! GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE If you have to make a decision very quickly, please slow down, as you will find out that it is not just one decision to the end of the story, but whatever decision you make will just bring more and more. Greatest nightmare for Gemini, we all know this. However you will have several people on your side so just calm down and listen to everything without starting arguments. In the end, this will be to your advantage. Greatly. CANCER 21 JUNE - 21 JULY Cancer! You’re actually getting to where you want to be! The Universe is saying “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” hard and loud. But please, don’t think it’s the end of the journey. Oh no, you’ve got a long way to go and still many things to do. Whatever has happened in your past has taught you invaluable lessons, and this will enable you to achieve so many new ideas. There’s one just round the corner … keep at it! LEO 22 JULY - 22 AUG This is a great opportunity to show everyone that you are The King! This does not mean bullying everybody to agree with you - it rather means that you will listen to everyone’s opinions and speak in a normal voice. Imagine how many friends you can make! Imagine how you will be admired! Can you do this? It appears to be work-related, so control yourself. Once you learn this, imagine how lovely the love life could be! VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP You have always had the gift of true spirituality! You’re not using it enough, Virg! People are fascinated by your insights and opinions. However, do not take advantage of this and get people into difficult situations. Use the brain - it could get you the kind of job you have been waiting for. Besides which, you could be starting a new path with the Loved One when he/she actually sees what is truly, deeply inside you. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV Where did this fabulous idea come from, Scorp? You’ve come up with something that can change the life of someone you truly care about. Time to get it going. If it’s the Loved One, take it carefully to avoid arguments and use of sharp instruments. Then get on with it. Love life is going well, keep it that way. You appear to have the answer to a troubling question that somebody has, so do help, but be careful how you do it … calmly. LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 If there are arguments (at home or at work), now is the time to hold yourself back as you are the one who always insists on telling the truth straight and narrow and making enemies in the process. You have the gift of always seeing where a path will lead - apply it in this case by shutting the old mouth a bit. You are so truly loved by somebody, whether you know this person or not, and it’s time to notice it …

The Style Bar Group is a place where creativity thrives. With the highest level of training, the team is empowered and inspired to do more, be more, and offer more to their clients. Here are comments from three team members, explaining how much they value the creative environment where they work, and how it enables them to do more, create more... and earn better while giving clients their best. “I've been a stylist at Style Bar since 2014, I came here with a fresh mind seeking an adventure and a place to grow creatively. I was amazed by how much training and creative classes Style Bar had to offer. It’s been such an incredible journey, I've learned more in my 4 years working here than my whole college career and that says a lot. From business booster classes, to how to do a full professional consultation and scalp diagnosis, my favourite of course is the creative colour classes from Schwarzkopf. The growth as a business also astounds me, it’s amazing how much the company grew locally in such a short time, opening new shops all around Cape Town and making new and better job opportunities for so many people. Most hairdressers move around from salon to salon in their lives, but Style Bar is my home and I'm so happy to be part of such an amazing team.” Step from Palmyra “It has been said many times over the years, that there is simply no greater feeling than making someone feel more confident, more beautiful, more pampered. In an ever-changing industry it is essential to stay on track of the latest innovations as well as the very latest trends. In saying that it is vital to have a wider knowledge of our industries’ trends, suggesting a colour or a specific look that is ideal for a specific client. I have always had a massive focus on Education. Knowledge is Power.” Belinda - Style Bar Group Educator “Sometimes clients don’t have outgoing personalities, and this is where they lack in confidence. There is nothing more brilliant than saving thousands on psychologist visits just by creating a new look for them at the hair salon which works wonders and boosts their self esteem. In a matter of hours, you can change somebody’s feelings about themselves as well as their outlook on the day or even their future and that is the most powerful thing when it comes to what we do. I particularly love colour because it is an expression of what is going on in the inside and out.” Libby from Paarl To find out more contact Belinda Liebenberg on belinda@stylebar.co.za Learn more about Style Bar!
