Take control and fight the frizz

The changing weather can play havoc with our hair and once that static takes hold, it’s a relentless fight against the frizz. However, there are some simple steps you can take to minimize the chance of fly-aways and frizz. 

Upgrade your towel 

We’re sure you’ve seen these, those handy little microfibre hair towels with a loop to keep it secure? Well, they’re not just a gimmick. Rather than towel drying and rubbing your hair, which can cause breakage, invest in a microfibre towel for your hair. They are super absorbent, reduce the friction caused by rubbing and help to stop frizz in its tracks. They are also great for keeping your hair out of your way while applying makeup - it’s a win-win!

A handy tip 

It can be tempting to try to remove every knot with a brush in an attempt to smooth your unruly locks but when drying, try using your hands. Point the hairdryer so that the air is going from root to end to smooth the hair as it dries. Use your fingers to comb through your hair and pull each section under the hairdryer. 

Avoid hair straighteners

The trusty hair straightener is always there to solve your hair woes but in the case of static and frizz, it’s best to take a rain check. Instead, we recommend using a mixed bristle brush. Hold it in one hand and with the other, push down as you brush through your hair, it will act as an iron to smooth away static and add shine. 

Spray with caution 

Another go-to for frizz and fly away hairs is to pin it down with hairspray. Just remember that less is more. Always hold the can at arm’s length and mist the hair. Alternatively, you can mist your hands and smooth them over the frizz.

We love great colour and here’s why you should too…

It elevates your cut 

Our stylists love a good cut and creating a new style for our clients. Mix in some great colour and a good cut becomes so much more. Accents of colour add texture so the cut will never look dull or flat, as well as adding extra shape to more blunt styles.  Perfectly placed light flecks of colour can amplify the hair’s natural tones and texture. 

It complements your complexion

We’re not afraid to tell our clients if they’re making a huge mistake! Our team will ensure that the styling and colour are perfect for your face shape and complexion. Just like adding highlighter or contour to your makeup to accentuate your features, the right colour can also work to make your skin glow. Adding softer, lighter tones to frame the face will brighten up your skin too. 

Eyes on the prize 

Bright flowers in the garden or an accent cushion on the couch, we all know how a simple bit of colour can make a difference. Hair colour is no different and our experts understand how skin and eye colour work with your style. Subtle tones in hair colouring can really make your eyes pop and we work with the individual to find a unique blend to suit your colouring. 

Great colour simplifies styling 

It’s a fact of life that colouring dries out hair. However, this isn’t all bad. It can add volume and texture making styles easier to hold. Even a simple ponytail with the right combination of delicate colours will have movement, texture and personality. 

If you look good, you feel good!

Over the past few years, there has been a greater emphasis on self-care. Hair colour can transform a person’s look and in turn, make them feel better about themselves. While we’re aware that it’s not a fix-all solution, there’s nothing quite like leaving a salon with fresh colour to put a pep in your step! As no two people are the same, their hair shouldn’t be either. We work with our clients to channel that unique individuality into great hairstyles.
