Are you a fan of straight hair? Try a sleek and smooth blowout.

Glass hair has been one of the key hair trends of 2018, so you won’t make a mistake with this style. However, there are some things you should consider beforehand.

If you want to pull off this trend, your hair should be in a (near) perfect condition, meaning you should regularly use moisturising and strengthening treatments. One of the ways to achieve smooth, silky and reflective hair is to go through the Olaplex treatment, which is available in our salon. That way, you will achieve this gorgeous look in no time.

Are you willing to make a statement? You can consider curls.

Curls are one of the things that never go out of style and are always a lovely choice for the holiday season. They look cute, playful, but can also compliment festive outfits and also have that glam ‘80s vibe.

Naturally, curls will stay in place longer on textured hair – curly or wavy, but even straight-haired beauties don’t have to look away from this style. Use a strong-hold hairspray and voila – your hair will stay in its place the whole night!

Are you a fan of elegance? Consider an updo.

An updo is the queen of the formal hairstyle, because they can complement any dress and are a durable choice. This is why plenty of us choose these styles for weddings, parties and special events.

Updos can be formal, but they can also have that relaxed, laid-back, boho vibe and look amazing with less formal outfits. The texture of your hair is not so important in this situation, but you should keep in mind your length, as these hairdos are easier to achieve with longer hair.

As always, we’re here to help you get your hair looking perfect for any occasion! You can book by calling us on 0121 458 3531 or by using our online booking form.

Check out these great tips to ensure your hair feels and looks loved, and stays sleek and shiny all summer long.

• Try not to wash your hair everyday – this can rob your scalp of the natural oils that hair needs to stay healthy, leaving you with dry & brittle locks. Use a little dry shampoo on the days you don’t wash it – or better still give your tresses a full day off!
• Choose your shampoo & conditioner wisely, we all spend time reading the back of food packaging labels to see what we’re putting into our bodies, so it’s good to check what we’re putting on our hair too. We greatly recommend Kerastase ‘Bain Therapiste’ (a strengthening balm-in shampoo), and Kerastase ‘Masque Therapiste’ (an intense nourishing mask) for very damaged hair.
• For super shiny hair rinse your conditioner with cold water – this helps seal your hair cuticles making the hair lie flatter against your scalp and resulting in a shinier appearance. For the best results apply conditioner only to the bottom two thirds of your hair. This will prevent it looking very greasy on the days you don’t wash it.
• Treat your hair softly while it’s wet because it’s prone to breakage. Towel dry with a soft T-shirt rather than a towel and comb through gently with a wide-toothed comb rather than a brush.
• Get your hair trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks to get rid of split ends. (Yes this is the only way to do it despite all the miracle cures you might see out there!) Split ends can damage the shaft of the hair all the way up to the follicle so it’s best to get rid of them with a visit to a salon and some professional scissors to avoid a frayed cut.
• Eat well! We all know dieting is important for keeping our bodies healthy, but it’s also key in keeping our hair healthy too. Eggs, citrus fruits, leafy greens and nuts & seeds contain a variety of proteins, iron, vitamins and Omega 3 Fatty acids for strong, healthy locks.
• If you see a lot of hair on the floor/your comb/your pillowcase – don’t worry! No matter how well cared for your hair is it is still natural to lose around 100-150 strands a day!

All in all, there are lots of things you can do to help your hair stay healthy and look lovely. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and there is nowhere left to turn, then never fear! Pop into the salon today for a Kerastase Fusio-dose treatment – a personalised consultation and unique treatment for your hair to get it looking and feeling amazing immediately!

Let’s take a little look at the treatment and what to expect when your locks are treated using your own specialised blend of haircare – personalised to you. 

The Fusio-Dose is a salon-based treatment that is tailored to your individual hair needs. During the treatment, a booster and a concentré will be prescribed to you during a one-to-one meeting with one of our skilled sylists. There are over 20 combinations available so you’re almost certain to find the perfect match for your hair. 

With the blend mixed and ready it can be carefully applied to the hair and just five minutes later, (yes five minutes!) you’ll start seeing the results. 

After the treatment, why not choose to have a blow-dry? This will leave your hair feeling light and fluffy. A great idea if you are planning on attending a summer party or wedding, or as a post-holiday pick-me-up. 

The Fusio-Dose treatment will almost certainly leave your hair feeling soft, smooth and fantastic. Furthermore, your treatment will last for around five washes, so you will continue to look radiant for days after.

The best bit is that once you’ve found your individual combination, you can continue the treatment at home! We stock a full range of amazing Kérastase products, all designed to take great care of your hair.

Your stylist will give you a prescription and you can use that to purchase your hair remedy. Lifeless and flat hair is now a thing of the past. Great results can be guaranteed all year round, at home or at the salon. Whats not to like?
