Your shears have two very important components - the 800 mm radius and convex edge. This system will maintain both. Call me and I will come to you. (Gauteng area). Tel Marion: 082 852 6545. Sharp scissors can mean the difference between a genius cut, and a cut that doesn’t look quite right. Watch this inspirational video to see what super-sharp shears can do, on a super-slick gent’s haircut!

Balaclavas have made a comeback to the catwalk, as a surprise fashion accessory this winter. Odd though they might appear, designers are including them in all colours and designs from bright to black. But one thing’s for sure, though.... if you’re not having a bad day when you put the balaclava on, you will be when you take it off!

Veaudry International were recently involved in the fabulously successful Women 360 expos which took place in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. Veaudry supplied all the styling tools used in the backstage prep for the fashion shows. The team wowed the hair artists and models with the fantastic performance of their top-quality, versatile irons, wands and brushes. For this event, Veaudry partnered with Schwarzkopf Professional, who supplied all the products used to create and style these gorgeous looks. With such an inspirational partnership it is no wonder that the hair looked stunning, and that the artists enjoyed every minute of the backstage prep. Here are some photos from the events countrywide, together with a video interview by Veaudry’s Group Education Manager Candi dos Santos, who explains why Veaudry irons are so versatile and why the hairstylists at these events loved working with them.

Why is Kevin.Murphy’s awesome Color.Me range so effective? The answer lies in the formulation’s incredible 3-step technology. Molecular Couple Guarantee means an exact counting method is used to guarantee that all colouring molecules form secure bonds. This reduces skin irritations and/or allergic reactions. Oxidation Delay Function helps delay the oxidation process when the Cream.Activator is added, allowing an even and precise application and colour coverage. Special Micro Pigments means that extremely small colour pigments are deposited, which penetrate deep into the hair shaft for shinier, healthier looking hair. And, best of all, our Color.Me range has been given the PETA stamp of approval! Guaranteed totally cruelty-free. Isn’t it time you made better choices?

We adore this glowing, eyecatching fashion shade that he created – here’s how the look was achieved: • I prepigged with Goldwell Colorance 6R and 6VV with water. • Then root application was Goldwell Topchic 5VV and 5N with 10 vol. • Midlengths and ends used Goldwell Topchic 6VV and 6N 10 vol. • Processed 30 mins. Rinsed with Dualsenses Color Extra Rich. Then did a 20 min Colorance 6VV application. • Rinsed and did a Dualsenses Extra rich 60 second treatment and sealed with a Color Serum.

Thinning hair and hair loss can occur for many reasons – stress, diet, nutritional imbalance, hormonal causes, medication, seasonal hair loss, traction alopecia, pattern baldness.
