Paul Hackett, owner of Hackett Biutiful, Cape Town, has come up with some innovative water saving ideas. Pressure Sprayer: Decant your rinsing water into a large pressure spray container. You can add warm water if you need to. The pressure sprayer makes the rinsing more efficient and results in big savings! This can also be used to shower. Click HERE to watch video. Diluting Shampoo: Diluting shampoo with distilled water allows it to distribute through the hair and rinse much more easily, saving water! Click HERE to watch video. Thanks so much to Paul for these awesome tips, photos and videos. Hacket Biutiful, 4 Mountainview Drive, Bellville 021 910 4577. Follow Paul on Facebook HERE

Navnit Beharie, owner of Me, Myself and I Hairdressing in Edenvale, has come up with a brilliant way to help maximise the benefits of education available to the industry. Navnit has formed an “educational co-op” with other salons who are in different areas of Johannesburg and do not compete for clients. If one member of the co-op attends education, or is very proficient and has learned techniques and certain skill sets, they have a meeting and that stylist does a workshop and hands-on demo for the others, passing on the knowledge. This means that if one member of the co-op attends an expensive educational course, the others can also benefit and learn. In a bigger salon, staff can learn from each other after going on courses, but for a smaller salon, an educational co-op provides a brilliant and creative solution to sharing knowledge and maximising value from what you learn. Because the salons are in different areas they do not compete directly for clients so the knowledge can be freely shared to benefit everyone. Would you consider forming an educational co-op with colleagues in other parts of your city or town? Thanks to Navnit for sharing this wonderful initiative!

Harriet Franks, head colourist at Blue Tit, Peckham, UK, has predicted three key colour trends based on the spring-summer Fashion Week hairstyles. Here’s the Gritty Pink how-to. Gritty Pink Pink takes on a grittier hue and grungier vibe than the more girly pink of last season. Think murky violets, rather than sweet pastels. How To: For the Wang show, a unique layering technique was used. 1. Hair was bleached to create a neutral foundation. 2. Hair was then dyed grey, the key to creating the dirtier tone of pink. 3. Hair was then layered with a rose coloured tint. 4. Finally, finish with a mauve pink colour. Best worn with a textured, effortless cut and plenty of attitude!

This stylish, modern, inviting salon is the latest in the chain owned by industry icon Richard Wyss. Take a look around the stunning interior.

Bringing water to Cape Town, and giving extra to salons in need...! With Cape Town in the grip of this terrible drought, everyone in South Africa is starting to get involved. We here at Divine HQ in Johannesburg, have decided to do our bit, and send deliveries of water down! All Cape Town salons purchasing products from Divine, will receive a complimentary 2-litre bucket of water with a lid, which you can use on a client’s hair, or just to make tea! If any Gauteng salons would like to contribute water to this initiative, you are very welcome – you can either drop your water off at Divine Sales, Unit 1, Honeydew Business Park, or our driver can collect when we are in your area.
