This gorgeous style, created in cool beige mahogany, will turn blonde as it grows out, becoming a colour melt. I did a mini Root stretch & alternates with Keune Tinta Color 5.35 + 5.5 + 5.23 to create a cool beige mahogany with white hair blending.. Additional Info and Products Used: • Icon Pure Envy Silver shampoo for 5 minutes. • Keune bond fusion treatment step 1 (1ml added into the colour.) and Step 2 (after cleansing the hair.) • I used 20 volume developer for the roots and 10 volume developer for mid-lengths & ends alternates. • Styling aids - Anti-frizz from Keune Blend for the blow dry.

By Megan – Hair & Skin Experts, Linden An excited team of 8 staff members set off from Linden to Dullstroom on Sunday morning for a fantastic team builder weekend away, including a workshop with the iconic Trevor Conn. On arriving in Dullstroom our first stop was Harries Pancakes and from there we headed to gin and whiskey tasting. Both were great world class experiences. After which we headed out to Cpirit Country Haven, owned by the dynamic team, Trevor and Sue Conn. The lodge is breathtaking – we stayed in the Barn, complete with log fire in the lounge and a coal stove in the kitchen/dining area. This beautiful self-catering accommodation is the ideal set up for a team building workshop. Trevor Conn did a workshop with us covering hair, makeup and a photo shoot. The team learnt a lot and had tons of fun doing so. I cannot begin to explain the amazing weekend had by all. The only thing I would change is to have had one extra day there, as we would have loved more leisure time to explore the farm.

What do your stars foretell this month? Astrologist Zema reveals. For a full personalised reading, contact her on 083 430 1456. LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUG If you’ve taken the Universe-advised break, now is the time to get up and go again. The Universe hopes you have learnt a couple of things, one of which is the love life needs attention and patience. We all know this doesn’t last, so find the job you really want and the place to live you really want and then follow the path. Try to make it last, will you? There’s also that something you want to study. How about now? VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP So the Loved One is happy at the moment? Jolly good Virg, you’ve done well. Now the trick is to keep it up without driving this person mad with the perfection thing. Try! If you’re thinking about looking for a new job, please just take it easy and don’t jump into something without thinking first. The money may sound better than it actually is… The person who keeps talking to you could also end up to be interesting. LIBRA 23 SEPT – OCT 22 It is time for you to look at that wonderful gift of yours that you keep ignoring … You’re either good at writing or art, you just have to decide which one to choose right now if you want to be Hero/ Heroine in the next little while. It goes without saying of course that you have to put the detail syndrome on the back burner for now. Everybody hide sharp instruments from Lib! Think carefully but please not forever! SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV There’s something you keep missing, Scorp … You need to do something that will attract The One to you right now. However - you need to find out as much as possible about what this person likes and turn on the charm - you’re so good at it when you want to be. If you’re stressing about money, take a breath - you’re going to be fine. Stop hiding … Work looks good, but the Universe is telling you to keep at it. SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC Righto Sag! Love life looks good if you handle it carefully. If there is no-one by your side at the moment, now would be a good time to look around a bit (which is not an excuse to become a nuisance to anybody), and you may just find that The One is closer than you think … It could very well be the most unexpected one, so keep your eyes open and use what passes for a brain with you. Love for Sag! At last! CAPRICORN 21 DEC – JAN 20 This is work time for you, Cap! Take a good look at what you are doing with job, home, family, opportunities for improvement, etc. etc. You’re actually thinking (Cap? Thinking?) of various ways to improve your life in general. If you take time to relax, if you can, you could come up with some wonderful ideas to improve everything around you. A lot of people are going to think their salvation has arrived … (Run! Run!) AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB You’re very good with people when you feel like it, so feel like it now, why not? You’re good at teaching people things and in this case it appears to be family members. The only thing you have to really concentrate on is keeping your temper at all times. Oh boy! Let’s see how THIS goes! You also come up with some interesting ideas on the work situation. Your partner is going to be looking at you with new eyes … PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH Killed anybody yet, Pisky? You’ve been close lately and taking the strain of work out on the wrong people. Time to breathe and get yourself right. Financially you may just be taken by surprise at some kind of money from somewhere that you didn’t know about. Don’t bury it, use it! Your partner is going to be so impressed with you, it’s amazing … You’ve also got that famous talent of yours that you are not using. What is it? ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL You’re getting tired of people who seem to use you for all sorts of nonsense. Don’t waste your time with them - put away the sharp instruments and walk away! Make a list of everything you want to achieve before the end of this year and then get on with it. Travel is strong in your stars, but in a good way. You may just get away to somewhere special with your partner and be able to breathe again. TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Love life looks ever so good … This is lovely, Taurus, but don’t get carried away and end up spending a lot of money on something that is not worth it. Think carefully and remember just how good you are at your job. Everybody thinks you’re a hero. A longish path to walk still until you become King, but keep at it. Property plays a large part in bringing in unexpected money. Forge on! Breathe … GEMINI 21 MAY - 20 JUNE We all know you can see both sides of a story, but don’t you think you’re getting a bit carried away here? The person who is waiting for an answer from you is starting to lose his/her patience. If you can’t make up your mind alone, get to talk to someone who knows the situation, all the ins and outs. But do it fast. You’re a grand one to make people laugh like mad, so why aren’t you laughing right now? Everything looks good. CANCER 21 JUNE – 22 JULY You have a new path to walk Cancer, and the Universe is saying “What are you waiting for?” You keep thinking of all the things that can go wrong … famous Cancer questions! How about all the things that can go right for a change? If you are considering a new employment, take the time to find out the details but don’t dwell on them. Time for a slight spiritual renewal as well, so get with it, Cancer …The Universe sighs …

These exquisitely detailed, sharply masculine styles are differentiated only by the hair – uniforms create a similarity. A thought provoking and inspiring collection. Hair: Alvaro Calvo Photographer: Anna Rouret Stylist: Zara Make-Up: Luz Gonzalez
