Newly crowned Miss Universe, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, returned to South African soil this week for her official homecoming celebration. “Winning the Miss Universe title was not only a personal victory but a victory for the whole rainbow nation. I couldn’t be more proud to represent South Africa. I hope this will inspire every single girl with a dream, that with hard work and dedication any dream is reachable,” says Demi-Leigh. Inge Peacock, Managing Director of Glamit – exclusive South African distributors of CHI, the official haircare sponsor of the Miss Universe Organization, expressed her delight at seeing a local woman sitting on the universal throne. “At Glamit, we empower women to look fabulous, feel gorgeous and express their own inner beauty. We believe that in order to be truly glamorous, one should also be socially conscious. Demi-Leigh completely embodies these qualities and we are proud to be affiliated with this phenomenal woman who is truly deserving of her title.” Demi-Leigh explained that her hair is an important part of who she is, and if her hair is healthy and looks great, she feels confident. “Taking good care of my hair is just as important to me as taking good care of my body and soul,” she explains. Demi-Leigh’s Haircare Routine She washes her hair every second or third day with CHI Tea Tree Oil Shampoo to remove impurities and excess scalp build up, balance oils and maintain ideal moisture levels. She follows this with the CHI Tea Tree Oil Conditioner to replenish, moisturize and nourish hair and scalp. Demi-Leigh has a lot of hair, which can be heavy. When it lacks volume, her quick fix for this is the CHI Dry Shampoo, which lifts her roots and gives her hair great body, whilst preventing it from getting oily fast. She’s a big fan of the CHI 1″ Volcanic Lava Ceramic Hairstyling Iron, which is perfect for straightening her hair or making beautiful waves, and her other top tools are the CHI Rocket Dryer which dries her thick tresses 50% faster than regular dryers, and the CHI Ellipse Teflon and Titanium Styling Wand to create perfect curls and waves. Before styling, she uses the CHI Rose Hip Oil Repair & Shine Leave-In Tonic to instantly add moisture, shine and strength, whilst eliminating frizz and controlling static for smooth, manageable hair. If you would like to stock the ranges used by Demi-Leigh in your salon, call 021 790 1669 or email info@glamit.co.za.

Harriet Franks, head colourist from Blue Tit, Peckham, UK, has analysed catwalk trends to predict what colours will be the biggest hits going into spring 2018. Here’s her next prediction – Bronze Age! (Click HERE to read about Gritty Pink.) At the spring-summer shows, there was a noticeable shift from the typical season of blonde locks, to a season of much darker styles. Monotone chocolate box shades were in evidence, unusual for going into summer! The most gorgeous brunette look was from the Moschino show, where a short, sassy 90s cut was tinted a shimmering shade of bronze. This is a refreshing alternative to the sunkissed styles and balayage techniques. It was perfectly monotone and artificially glossy. To create this in the salon, simply go for a rich mahogany brown all over, choosing a colour full of natural warmth. Follow up with a shine boosting treatment for an ultra-glossy finish.

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.
