Astrologist Zema predicts your stars for September. For a full personalised reading, you can contact her on 083 430 1456. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV You’re about to find out how much people trust you. You may hear something about somebody that must NOT be repeated to anyone at all. You’re good at keeping your own secrets, so do the same for others. Time for you to tap your talents that have been lurking in the dark for too long. Something special is going to be required from you, and this is where you blossom. Greatly! SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV - 21 DEC If you’re thinking about taking a holiday, forget it Sag! Too many people need you at work right now. Instead of using sharp instruments against the ones you suspect are holding you back, just get on with it and the right time will arrive … You also need to look at the thing you’ve been wanting to do for a hundred years and actually make some plans. You’ll be surprised at the support! CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 19 JAN You appear to have received the news you have been waiting for, for so long. At last you can focus on what you really want instead of what you thought you wanted. Take everything as it comes and don’t lose sight of the horizon. With your communication skills you can come up with a wondrous plan to make money. (The sooner the better.) You’re a hard worker, Cap! Get with it! AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB Time for a gathering or two. You are so good with people, you can practically make them do whatever you want them to. So, sociable is the word you need to apply yourself to getting people together and teaching them something about themselves. You have a way with words and people tend to fall at your feet. Not always a good thing of course, but use it to your advantage right now. PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH You are making plans like mad for the future but you do not trust yourself enough. You know there is a special path you have to walk to find what you have been looking for all your life, so get to it. You keep worrying about details that have no impact on what is important. Time also to apply yourself spiritually and learn to trust the Universe instead of putting on your boxing gloves. ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL You have to learn that skill that you have been trying to button down for so long. The harder you try to avoid it, the harder it will be when you recognize it and everything that goes along with it. You are expert at handling people, but you keep missing something. Maybe try for some advice from someone who has done it before? (Can’t see you lowering yourself to this, Aries, - try!) TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Taurus, you are famous for getting what you want, so now would be a good time to decide what you want now and get on with it at a speed. You are very good at detail and you never give up, and the job you are doing at the moment might not be fulfilling your wildest dreams. (Taurus? Wild dreams?). Don’t get so depressed that you decide to apply your horns to everyone around you. GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUNE You need to make a decision, which is the hardest thing for a Gemini to do as you have these interesting personalities – Some people have two, you seem to have a list. If someone offers you a job that sounds too good to be true, that could be exactly what’s wrong with it. Get info before you accept or decline and listen to advice for a change. Love is hovering in the background. Wait… CANCER 21 JUNE – 22 JULY We all know you are capable of saving the world single-handedly, but right now you have other things to do. Like pay attention to family matters more than you will probably want to. Tough for you Cancer, you have to see the road ahead clearly, or at least clearer than usual. Come out of your shell and apply yourself to clearing paths for everyone, left, right and centre. Think before you talk. LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUG Have you come across that Prince/Princess that has been following your progress so closely for so long? Probably not, you’re too busy styling your mane. So look around and make an effort to spot this person before he/she gets very, very tired of no response. If you lose him/her, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Work looks good, but do try and keep your temper with “others”. VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP Best energy in a long time, Virgo! Now is the time to not only make plans but also to get started on those projects that have been on your list for so long. However, do try to heed advice, and don’t slow yourself down with details that do not matter… (What on earth are we saying?). Lovelife could be better, he/she is feeling left out. Don’t leave The One Left Out too long. You don’t need this. LIBRA 23 SEP - 22 OCT Don’t take on anything with the family that you haven’t thought through very carefully. VERY carefully. You may just end up being be-headed or worse (there’s worse?)… You very seldom get to say what you want in the best way but in this case you had better apply yourself with gusto. If it’s a job offer, make sure of the details before you get carried away. Good money, but…

Who says blondes have all the fun? Anita, from Hair @ the Hub in Centurion, transformed an outgrown blonde style into the most vivid, amazing, passionate red... the perfect colour for the stunning upstyle she created. Here’s how she did it. Started off on a 6 level with highlights on mid lengths to ends. Bleach bath with Wella Blondor powder bleach to a level 8 ratio The bath was 1 part bleach and 5 parts 4 % Wella Color Touch. She wanted to be a 77/44 on the colour chart but if we had to just apply a 77/44 all the orange in that colour would have been dominant so we used: Half 77/44 and half 77/46 (yes I know I mixed a warm and a cool but it brought that colour right in the middle and it looked like a 77:44 on the colour chart Formula 1/2 77/44+1/2 77/46 + equal amounts of 4% Wella Color Touch As an alternative option, instead of a bleach bath if you did not want to perform this, you could do a colour renew for 45 minutes.

The Redken Own It Awards finals were held on Saturday 9 September at Melrose Arch. This was a fabulous, colourful evening, in true Redken style. It included a presentation by the Redken South Africa art team, a stage show by the iconic guest star Justin Isaac who judged the finals, and the work of the super-talented finalists, live on stage. Watch: Redken Own It Awards - Hairnews Highlights Video Winner Interviews Chellaine Naude: Senior Winner Originally from Johannesburg, Chellaine has worked in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town before finding her ideal workplace at Shag High Voltage Hair. She is a newcomer to the competition world. Q: What inspired you to enter the Redken Own It Awards? A: We were encouraged to enter by our bosses! I have never been someone who wants to show others what I am capable of, and this was my first time doing anything like this. Q: How did you decide what look to create on your model? A: I played around with ideas until I came up with something I thought was amazing. I love cutting, and made the cut the focal point of my look, with a colour that complemented it and didn’t look too busy with the dramatic cut. Q: What was the colour formula and what products did you use? A: I used two colours to obtain a deeper red with a copper reflect on the lighter pieces. The deeper red was Redken Chromatics 6RR with 20 vol. I lifted highlights round my model’s face and at the back, with Redken Flash Lift and 20 vol, and then glazed all over the head with semi permanent 6AA to get a copper shining through the red. I wanted it styled as straight as possible so I softened and texturised the top section, keeping the perimeter solid, and then used 1-United and Iron Shape, styled with Diamond Oil and a little Triple Take hairspray. Q: What was it like on the night of the finals? A: It was very intense but there was a great energy backstage, everyone was nervous and excited. All the contestants were amazing – what an incredible, talented team to compete against. Q: What is your motto for everyday success in the salon? A: You never know enough. You can always learn, from a junior stylist or from people who have been in the industry for years. You never stop learning and by keeping learning, you will become a better stylist. Stay humble and true to yourself. Kirsten Thomas: Junior Winner Kirsten Thomas started hairdressing in 2014 at THASA (The Hair Academy of South Africa). She won the THASA Top Student award in 2014, the Top Theory award in 2016, and graduated as top student with 98%. She was a semi-finalist in the Junior Redken Own It Awards in 2016. Q: What inspired you to enter the Redken Own It Awards? A: I love the thrill of being in the spotlight and showing off my talents, by setting trends and keeping up to date with new industry dynamics and expanding my expertise. Competing and stretching my goals to the max is what makes me tick! I love the Redken brand and their products and the ongoing resources they provide based on inspiration, fashion and innovation. Q; How did you decide what look to create on your model? A: I was inspired by the romance and magic of the Autumn seasonal cycle which is when we traditionally release our mane of richness by incorporating strong vibrant colours, shades and tones. Q: What was the colour formula and what products did you use? A: I used free hand balayage on the ends, foils around the hairline. I did a stretch root application (4Bc plus 20vol peroxide – Chromatics) and a colour melt technique on the mid lengths and ends - colour 1: 07G plus 05NW – colour 2 : toner 9AA plus 9G Q: What was it like on the night of the finals? It was super amazing to be in the same room with so much talent in the industry. Justin Isaacs was really cool and an inspiration, with his contagious high energised vibe, skills and knowledge. It was a well-organized show and very exciting to be a part of it all. Q: What is your motto for everyday success in the salon? A: Life may not be perfect, but your hair can be!
