There’s no time like the summertime. Dreamy beach days, perfect weather, balmy nights on the town and plenty of time spent in the great outdoors…

But while all that sun and surf certainly makes you feel good on the inside, the summer can also be a tough time for hair. Oily roots, that uncontrollable frizz, washed-out colour and dry damaged ends are among the less glamorous aspects of summertime hair care, and something that many of us dread having to deal with.

Well, dread not, all you sun-soaked summer belles out there! With just a bit of proactive care and routine maintenance, you can be sure those perfect beachy waves and bouncy curls will be looking their best all summer long.

Read on for our hot tips on caring for your hair the right way this summer.

1. Deep Condition with a Hair Mask

Fighting the frizz can be a daunting task in the summer, especially for those with colour-treated hair. Between the sun’s harsher rays, chlorine and saltwater — oh my! — it’s almost inevitable that your hair will lose moisture and end up looking frizzy and washed-out.

That’s why a hair mask is a must-have for summer. This Multi-Tasking Deep-Conditioning Mask by Pureology is the perfect companion for those long, lazy days in the sun.

This rinse-out hair mask is great to use before a day outdoors, especially on colour-treated hair, as it protects against the ravages of summer, like harsh UV rays and excessive heat. It also works to restore your hair’s natural moisture and elasticity, making it the perfect pre-treatment and aftercare product, all in one, that will keep your hair shiny and silky smooth through the season.

2. Style Without Heat

Excessive heat is one of the most important things to avoid if you want your hair to love the summer as much as you. That means it’s time to ditch the hairdryers and straighteners for something a little more gentle.

But don’t fret! Your hair’s natural texture can and will be your ally this summer. Soleil Huile Sirène by Kérastase is the perfect heat-free styling solution to use during the warmer days of summer.

Lightweight and oh-so moisturising, this leave-in hybrid spray is here to grant volume and shine, enhancing your natural waves without the intense heat of a curling iron or blow-dry. And with infused coconut water and scents of jasmine, you can embrace your inner sirène and let your natural hair bewitch and bedazzle this summer.

3. Protect Your Hair

Just as your skin needs to stay protected in the summer sun, so does your hair. Whether you’re lounging in the sun all day, out for a stroll, or even walking to work, your hair is constantly exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays. Too much of this and your hair can end up dried out and sun-faded. Not Ideal!

Pureology’s Style + Protect Beach Waves Sugar Spray ticks all the right boxes. This styling spray contains full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, as well as Pureology’s AntiFade Complex, which keeps the sun out and your colour in.

Unlike salt sprays, this sugarcane-based styling spray avoids the drying effect of salt crystals. Better yet, it’s effortless to apply! Just a spray and scrunch and it’s perfect beachy waves all summer long.

4. Wash Your Hair Less

Greasy roots are the bane of many a head’s summertime, especially for those with naturally oily hair. The warm weather certainly makes you sweat more than usual, and with this comes a more oily scalp, which flattens your roots and leaves your hair feeling heavy and dull at the best of times.

And while it sounds counter-intuitive, washing your hair too often in the summer can worsen the problem of oily hair, as it causes your scalp to produce excess sebum when stripped of its natural oils.

A premium quality dry shampoo like Fresh Affair by Kérastase is a great way to keep your hair fresh and perfectly balanced between washes. With a fragrant and grease-absorbing formula, this dry shampoo helps to create volume and shine without drying your scalp.

5. Use Hair Serum

There are plenty of things to look forward to when the sun is high in the sky and the days are long and warm. Coarse hair and dry ends are certainly not some of those things, but are an unfortunate reality during the summer, especially for colour-treated hair.

Hair serums are a great way to fight dry, damaged ends and enliven coarse hair during the summer, and a premium product like She Uemura’s Art of Style Shiki Worker Blow Dry Serum is perfect for the job.

Best used on damp hair instead of a blow-dry, this multipurpose styling serum hydrates and smooths your hair, while fighting frizz for that natural, radiant look. With the added benefit of enhancing shine and protecting colour, this serum is a must-have for the summer.

With these hot tips at the ready, summertime doesn’t have to be a hair nightmare anymore, despite all the challenges that the warm weather and sunshine brings. With a little proactive care and a lot of self-love, you can say goodbye to your hair worries and embrace your natural style.

All not-so-natural blondes know the pain of keeping your colour fresh between salon visits. While the easiest option is to simply wait for weeks to pass until your next appointment, the resulting look of your hair isn’t always the best.

The good news: Taking care of your blonde locks doesn’t have to be difficult. If you know what to do, you’ll find that a few small changes can leave your hair looking fresher, longer.

Here are our top tips for keeping your blonde bright between appointments. You’ll never have that dreaded last week of grown-out roots again.

5 Tips for Maintaining Blonde Hair Between Salon Visits

1. Use a Toning Shampoo and Conditioner

The most important — and perhaps the easiest — thing you can do to keep your blonde hair bright is to use a toning shampoo and conditioner. With a purple hue, toning shampoos help neutralise and yellow or brassy undertones, helping to extend the lifespan of your colour. If you’ve ever found that your cool-tone blonde turns yellow after a few weeks, toning shampoo and conditioner are the answers to your problems.

Our favourite toning shampoo-conditioner-duo comes from Kérastase. The premium line’s Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Purple Shampoo and Masque comes in a rich purple colour, which helps extend and maintain your colour’s lifespan. Not to mention, both the shampoo and conditioner are full of good-for-hair ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration and edelweiss flower for protection.

2.Protect Your Colour

Another great way to help your blonde colour stay bright between salon visits is to use products that protect your hair’s colour. Pureology’s Colour Fanatic 21 in 1 Spray is a great easy option, as it simultaneously protects your colour while encouraging healthy hair all around. This multi-purpose spray helps seal your hair’s cuticles, prevents split ends, and protects against colour fade, all while working as a spray-in detangler. Talk about a dream product!

Another favourite of ours is  L’Oreal Professionelle’s Vitamino Colour 10-in-1 Spray. Much like the Pureology spray, this one serves several purposes all with the ease of a few easy spritzes. Applying this spray as a detangler or using it before a blow-dry will help your colour last longer while helping defrizz your hair.

3.Keep Your Hair Hydrated and Healthy

As a general rule of thumb, the healthier your hair is, the better the colour will last. Especially after colouring your hair, it’s important to make sure you keep it hydrated and healthy. Blonde can be especially damaging to hair, so to avoid brittle locks, always aim to use a hydrating mask at least once per week between salon visits. We always recommend the Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Deep-Conditioning Mask, since it’s specifically formulated for coloured hair.

In just a few minutes, this rich hair cream will leave your locks looking better than ever before. Just a small amount will leave your hair smooth and soft. In addition to locking in moisture, this mask also helps strengthen your hair for long-term results.

4.Wear Your Hair Wavy

At the end of the day, your roots will always grow out. And while there are ways to prevent it from looking too bad, sometimes you’ve just got to work with it.

If you’re overdue for an appointment, our suggestion is to wear your hair wavy until you can get your colour touched up. While sleek styles show obvious roots, more textured styles do a better job at hiding and blending colour differences. In addition to following the above steps, opting for a wavy hairstyle between salon visits may extend how long you can go before getting a colour touch up.

If you want to keep things simple, you won’t want to pass up Pureology’s Style + Protect Beach Waves Sugar Spray. Simply apply it to damp hair, scrunch, and let it dry. You’ll be rocking a carefree beachy look that helps to hide your darker roots. Unlike salt sprays, this sugar spray won’t dry out your hair, but rather leave it feeling smooth and soft.

If you like your hair more styled, the Shu Uemura Art of Style Wata Wav Texturizing Spray will be your new best friend. Similar to the sugar spray, this texturising spray will keep your hair in a wavy style to help hide un-blended roots. This texturising spray is best applied after a blow-dry to help achieve a textured, wavy look. This buildable spray not only helps your style last longer, but also extends the lifespan of your blowdry. With this spray, your wavy blowout will stay in place all night long, with no risk of flattening.

Now that you know how to keep your blonde hair looking good between salon appointments, you can turn away from the temptation of box dye. While getting your hair coloured is always an exciting experience, the day-to-day upkeep is really what makes your hair shine. If you’re already investing the time and money into your colour, it makes sense to go the extra mile to help it look the best it possibly can.

As with any beauty trend, hairstyles come and go.

To say that the ever-changing world of beauty makes it difficult to commit to a single style would be an understatement. More often than not, it’s easier to imply do nothing, and leave your hair as is. After all, what’s the point of making a change if you’re just going to be bored of it in a few weeks?

We’ve all been there: One month you’re chopping off your hair in favour of the sleek “long bob”, and six weeks later you’re kicking yourself for it, while ndlessly pinning pictures of long, curly locks.

And while the paradox of choice might make you feel like you don’t want to try something new, there is something to be said for actively channelling your personal style. Getting the perfect haircut can be confidence-boosting, empowering, and straight-up exciting.

If you want to make sure you get a cut you’ll still love in a few weeks, our number one suggestion is to go to the pros: Rather than trying to envision omething yourself, look at other haircuts to inspire you.

The most iconic haircuts of all time seem to stick around forever, and for good reason: They’re amazing. Inspired by the chicest celebs in recent memory, a few recognisable cuts have become perennially chic. Odds are, they’ll continue to remain popular for years to come.

Whether you’re a commitment-phobe, or simply haven’t found your signature style just yet, we think that starting with these iconic haircuts is the perfect jumping-off point. You can rest easy knowing that no matter what fads arise, your ‘do will look just as good in a few weeks (or years) as it does now.

If you want to opt for a universally popular style, keep reading to see some of the most iconic haircuts of all time. You just might find one that speaks to you.

Jennifer Aniston’s Long Layers

No matter what haircut she has, Jennifer Aniston always seems to pull it off.

A style and beauty chameleon in a way that most of us aren’t, Aniston somehow rocks every makeup look, outfit, and hairdo she tries. While we can’t all get her six-pack abs (sadly), there are other aspects we can emulate; her hair being one of them.

Thankfully, for fans of Jen’s style, her signature long layers are universally flattering. No matter your hair length or texture, long layers are easy to incorporate into any cut for added texture and movement.

Princess Diana’s Feathered Shag

Just like Lady Di herself, Princess Diana’s haircut defies all expectations. Somehow both feminine and relaxed, her signature haircut has inspired many a short-do throughout the decades.

Though the pixie-length cut doesn’t leave much hair to work with, it’s by no means a boring look. When styled properly, a short and layered haircut like Princess Diana’s can still lend itself to volume and drama.

One thing to consider before sitting in the styling chair is that your natural hair texture will play a large part in the way this cut comes to life. If you have coarse or curly hair, the style might look very different on you than it does on Diana’s relatively straight locks.

Mia Farrow’s Pixie Cut

Many hairdressers have agonised over perfecting the artfully imperfect pixie cut inspired by Mia Farrow. Messy and choppy with an uneven fringe, Farrow’s look somehow seems more chic than shabby.

As the story goes, Farrow did it herself, which explains the jagged shape of the resulting pixie. One day in 1966, while on the set of Peyton Place, the rising star took some shears to her long locks and the rest is history. Allegedly Frank Sinatra, her beau at the time, liked her hair short. And so it stayed!

This style works best for those with naturally straight and thin hair, but it can be adapted depending on your texture.

Bridgette Bardot’s Curtain Fringe

Who wouldn’t want to look like Bridgette Bardot?

France’s famous blonde bombshell has had an immeasurable effect on fashion, beauty, and general style since she first appeared on the cover of Elle Magazine in 1952.

Her iconic curtain fridge is having a comeback moment in 2021, and it’s easy to see why. Parted down the middle, styled nonchalantly, the curtain fringe is the perfect way to have a cut that’s easy to achieve while still looking fashionable. Requiring just a little attention it’s the perfect amount of style without seeming overdone.

Anna Wintour’s Bob

We would be remiss not to mention one of the most easily recognisable haircuts on this list: Anna Wintour’s bob.

With nary a stray hair, her blunt cut and perfectly combed fringe are as much a part of her identity as her oversized sunnies. Fittingly, one look at her perfectly shaped bob, and you can tell that this woman means business.

As the standing Editor in Chief of Vogue since 1988, Wintour’s influence has cemented the shaped bob as one of the essential fashion-girl haircuts of our times. To be honest, it’s hard to imagine her without perfectly styled hair, a fact that only adds to her to-the-point persona.

We love Winter. All the fashion, hot chocolate, and snuggling up under a blanket. But Winter doesn’t love our hair so much. The cold snap can also snap us into dull, dry, and frizzy hair – and quite frankly, it’s not our vibe.

So before you rug up to leave the house, follow our three hottest tips to keep your hair healthy in the cooler months.

Wash your hair less often

Although we live by washing our hair about once a week, in the cooler months we hope you do too. Or, if you’re used to wash your hair every day, switch to every other day. Just try adding a day or two to whatever works for you.

Extending time between washes can help keep your hair stronger and healthier in the winter months. Why? Well shampoo strips the natural oils from your hair, and these oils help keep your hair hydrated. Another way to help stay fresh between washes is to use our trusty old Dry Shampoo. Using dry shampoo will open up the hair shaft and bring life back to your hairstyle. As an added bonus, it’ll also keep your hair smelling delicious.

Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate.

Possibly the most important tip in Winter, is to hydrate. When your skin is drying out, you can bet your hair is too. There are so many ways to help maintain hydration, but we recommend committing to a weekly hair mask, adding oils, and upping your water intake.

Just like weekly face mask are essential for hydrated skin, so too are their hair counterpart. Choosing are hair mask that suits your hair type can do wonders for your locks during Winter. They can reverse the effects of drying, while leaving your hair protected, smooth, shiny, and hydrated. And at only 20 minutes a week, there’s no real reason not to add it to your routine.

Applying an oil-based hair treatment daily can help resort moisture when Winter wreaks havoc on your ends. Opting or a lightweight, leave-in formular with argan oil or a similar ingredient can revitalise dry, damaged ends.

And thirdly – drink a lot of water.
We know it sounds simple, but that’s because it is. Hydration starts from within. So to help your whole body – skin, scalp, and hair – stay healthy, plump, and strong , just turn to your tap and drink up nature’s goodness.

Put the heat stylers away

Let your straighter and dryer hibernate for the Winter. As tempting as it may be to tame frizz, regularly blow drying, straightening, or heat styling your hair will only make things worse. If your hair is already feeling fragile, using a hair dryer or styler will only further reduce moister levels and amplify damage. If you really have to use a hair dryer, we understand, but invest in a good thermal protectant. But otherwise, embrace your natural waves, curls, or style as much as possible. Your scalp and hair will love you for the extra gentle TLC.

Looking for the right products or tips for your specific hair type this Winter? Swing by our boutique and Taleah and the team will be able to help you protect and nourish your hair this Winter.

Oh yeah, it’s TikTok time! The platform that definitely sucks up too much of our sleep time with mindless scrolling is finally getting put to good use. After hours, and we do mean hours, of research (all for you of course 😉 ), we’ve narrowed it down to 5 of the biggest hair trends on TikTok right now.

So, if you’re a trend spotter, trend hopper, or just trendy – jump on these TikTok hair trends for your next style.

Curtain Bangs

They say history repeats itself and TikTok is really bringing back those banging 70’s curtain bangs. Unlike the side-part, TikTok hasn’t killed has bangs, in fact they’re bringing them back full-force.

Curtain bangs are the perfect balance of natural and chic. This easy, practical hairstyle is for everyone that loves that effortlessly glamourous look without the commitment.

Y2K

Yeah we’re not sure about this one either, but apparently looking like a tween or Saddle Club extra is cool again. Either way, whip out your rainbow elastics, butterfly clips and get twisting cause all the apps cool-girls are loving these looks.

Himecut

Right now, the sister trio from Hime and their hair is taking over TikTok, the Grammy, and the Prada fashion show.

Does it look like someone tried to cut their own fringe? Maybe.

Does it look freaking awesome when done correctly to suite your face? Absolutely.

Essentially the look is made up of long hair that’s been straightened and has cheek-length side locks along with bangs in front. We’re talking Mullet, but make it fashion.

Bubble Braid

Maybe we should include this in the Y2K section, but honestly the Bubble Braid gets it’s own spotlight. You may remember Jasmin from Aladdin rocking the do, but to us that just says this hair trend is royalty.

Better yet, it’s super easy to replicate, quick, and with little-to-no resources required.

This versatile hairstyle can do no wrong – braid it, ponytail, oversized, understated at the front – the bubble braid is timeless, simple, and we love it.

Narcissa Malfoy

Ok, we have to admit this is our favourite. Using a lighter, or different colour at the front to frame the face is nothing new, but the vibes Narcissa Malfoy brings to the TikTok table are next level.

We’re talking black hair with pink frames, blue hair with white frames, whatever combination you want, TikTok is serving.

And no, you don’t just have to be a witch to make magic with this look. Changing the colour and style to match your personality can make it princess perfect, grungy, and tres chic.

Inspired by these looks or want to make your own trend? At Savvy, we’re ready and waiting to get creative with you. Bring in your hair inspo and book an appointment now with Taleah and the Savvy team to get started.

Winter is finally making its way into our wardrobe. But winter style doesn’t stop there. It’s time to shake up your winter hair-do too. I mean, any excuse to look fresh as hell right?

And while we know that blonde is the colour of summer and most of our Savvy babes will be making their way back to their blonde bombshell vibes when December approaches, it’s only May! So why not mix it up over Winter?

Now, because we know how much you love your summer colours, we’re not going to tell you all to dive into a crazy colour change (although we love to see it and will totally help you). Instead we’re going to show you our 5 favourite must-have winter hair trends that you can add to your look today – cause sometimes a little change can make a huge difference.

1 – Honey Blonde Babe

Oh yeah, it’s Honey Blonde season baby. This cult fave is a blend of dark and warm blonde with light brown. Essentially it takes all the wonderfully warm vibes of winter – cinnamon, honey, and caramel – and blends them through your hair. Delicious.

A winter classic for blondes, we love the honey blonde look because the warmth in the shades reflect light, which makes your hair appear shinier and healthier. As an added bonus, this colour is especially gorgeous on people with yellow, golden, or dark skin tones.

2 – Chocolate Brown Fade

Want a winter look that’s good enough to eat? Break yourself off a piece of the chocolate brown fade. Deliciously warm and rich, this look combines deep brown with a touch of golden highlights and a dash of mahogany.

It’s the seductive, mysterious winter colour that will take your hair to the next level, and we absolutely love it.

3 – Golden Brown Balayage

The golden brown balayage is timeless. It’s a great way to lighten dark hair or add much warmer tones to light hair. To achieve this classic look, we use a very dark brown base colour, then add a highlight with a medium brown tone – this accentuates both the darker hair shade and your skin tone.

Beautifully low-maintenance due to its blended look, this is perfect for our Savvy babes that can only come visit us once this winter.

4 – Silver and Gold

Silver & gold together… trust us here. Yes that may seem like an odd couple, but they go amazingly together when layered perfectly.

For our sexy silver foxes, pops of gold are a gorgeous addition to your 2021 winter hair. And for our lighter blonde babes, add a sliver of silver for that extra wow factor. Either way you go, this look will catch the light and turn you into a glistening goddess.

5 – Bronde

This beautiful brown and blonde mix is popping up all over Hollywood and we can see why. The two-tone look is super glamorous and very winter-appropriate.

We think bronde is perfect for almost everyone —for blondes who want to look less summery, brunettes who want to go lighter, and those who just want to dip their toes into dyeing their hair.

Bronde is very easy to maintain and works across an array of natural colours. Mixing highlights and mid-lights in this way creates a multi-dimensional look that’s sure to turn heads.

So there you have it, our top 5 favourite 2021 winter trends. No matter which one you choose, we promise to make sure you look banging when you leave our boutique. So warm up in our Savvy salon this winter, we can’t wait to see you.

Lots of love always,

Oh you best believe we put a clue about the new Kerastase Genesis in the headline. Yes, it’s kinda because we have fallen in love with it, but mostly because Kerastase Genesis is the new Queen on the block for hair-fall prevention.

We all age. It’s inevitable. And yet here Kerastase are, trying (and succeeding) in defying the ageing process. But it’s not just aging that can cause hair-fall in women.

Women may lose hair following childbirth or during menopause too. But it’s nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s totally normal. In fact, one study found that 40% of women experience hair loss by the time they’re 40. And in another a whopping 88% of women said they’ve experienced it in their life.

What’s more shocking though, is that only 10% of those women treat their hair loss. Until now.

That’s where Kerastase Genesis comes in. In a hair-care first, Kerastase has created a non-clinical solution to female hair-fall. Science says that hair loss is due to collagen accumulation and rigidfrication around the fibre. Big words we know. But it means that from both genetic, or external factors, hair falls from the roots (due to stress, hormones, or diet) or breaks at the end (from brushing, heat styling, or pollution) causing a lack of individual strands on the scalp.

So how does Kerastase Genesis fix this? Well it’s simple…ish.

Kerastase Genesis has created a collection of 7 products supercharged to help you fix your hair-fall. It seems like a lot, but really it’s mix-and-match. So let’s break it down to find out exactly which products you need to help your hair-fall.

Serum Anti-Chute Fortifiant or Ampoules Cure Anti-Chute Fortifiantes

Start your day strong with a bit of Anti-Chute Fortifiant. These serums improve hair resistance from the root to help prevent hair-fall. Day after day these products help to re-anchor hair follicles into the scalp while building a beautiful foundation for future hair growth.

What’s the difference? While the Serum is a softer approach to treating hair-fall, the jelly-like formula of the Ampoules shots re-anchor the hair follicle to the scalp using a more intense method. The Ampoules formula also decreases itchiness and soothes by reinforcing the scalps natural protective barrier.

Kerastase recommends using either the Serum or Ampoules it once daily in the morning (or night) on the root of your hair for 6 weeks on dry or towel-dried hair, and massaging it into the scalp.

Shampoo – Bain Nutri-Fortifiant or Hydra-Fortifiant

First things first, shampoo. Kerastase has you covered whether you have dry (nutri) or fine (hydra) hair. Both products are enriched with a potent combination of Edelweiss Native Cells and Ginger Root in a formula that strengthens hair fiber.

Conditioner – Fondant Renforçateur

Of course, we follow this up with a conditioner. This creamy formula boasts 97.7% reduced hair-fall due to breakage with a super lightweight finish. It does this by helping restore and reinforce the fiber and reinforce.

Masque Reconstituant

Use this instead of the conditioner for even stronger protection against hair-fall due to breakage. Unlike the conditioner which you wash out immediately, pop the masque on towel-dried hair and wait for 5min before washing again for it to work its ultimate magic.

Défense Thermique

Last but certainly not least is the Défense Thermique – your go to protection against heat. This product is all about hydration and protection without weighing your hair down. For every babe that uses heat on their hair, we beg of you, please use a heat protection formula like this one.

Ok so we know it may seem very product heavy, so here’s a quick guide to who needs what –

Fine or normal hair?

• Sérum or Ampoules Cure Anti-Chute Fortifiant
• Bain Hydra-Fortifiant
• Fondant Renforçateur
• Défense Thermique

Oily Roots, Dry Lengths?                                                  

• Sérum or Ampoules Cure Anti-Chute Fortifiant
• Bain Hydra-Fortifiant
• Masque Reconstituant (for thick hair) or Fondant Renforçateur (for fine hair)
• Défense Thermique

Thick, Dry Hair?

• Sérum or Ampoules Cure Anti-Chute Fortifiant
• Bain Nutri-Fortifiant
• Masque Reconstituant
• Défense Thermique       

Wow, I think we covered everything. If you suffer from hair-fall from the root or breakage, we can’t recommend the Kerastase Genesis enough. If you want some more information, of course you can always chat to Taleah and the Savvy team. We are always here to help. Otherwise pop by any time to pick up your Kerastase Genesis products. We can’t wait to see you.

For a lot of people, hair straightening or smoothing can seem like a big commitment – but does it have to be?

Of course a lot of us reach for our daily straightening and styling tools, but if doing that day-in-and-day-out is giving you bigger biceps than you’d like or taking up that extra 20 minutes of snooze time then we’re here to chat different, more permanent, solutions.

The big two or Chemical and Keratin Straightening or Smoothing processes. But what are they really? What’s the difference? Well, thank goodness we’re here to help you straighten things out.

What actually is “Chemical Straightening”?

First things first, Chemical Straightening has a few different names and types – Thermal Reconditioning, Reverse Perms, Japanese Straightening and Relaxers just to name a few.

And when we say permanent, for the majority of people we mean permanent. This is because they work by using super strong chemicals to break down bonds inside your individual strands to take out any curls or waves and get that straighty-180 look. Essentially it damages your hair to make it straight.

On the upside, because this process uses such strong chemicals it can straighten the hair of even the wildest curls. On the downside, when new hair grows, that hair will still have your natural waves, curls, and kinks to it so you will need to refresh it to maintain the pin straight look from root to end.

Also, as it uses such strong chemicals, this kind of straightening is often not recommended for coloured or bleached hair.

All-in-all definitely a viable solution for those boys and babes looking for permanent hair straightening but please for the love of hair, leave this one to the professionals.

What actually is “Keratin”?

Keratin hair straightening is actually also a chemical process, but in this version keratin proteins are added back into your hair. These keratin proteins are natural in your hair, and are the thing you need for shiny, healthy hair. So what happens is when your hair gets overly porous, it becomes frizzy, tangled, and well… unhealthy looking.

So we add keratin back into the hand strands to restore it to its former glory. But don’t get it confused, these natural proteins will run out again and you’ll need another boost. Because everyone’s hair is unique, results may vary but we expect to see you again for a keratin pick-me-up between two and six months.

Unlike chemical straighteners, you can happily use keratin products on coloured hair. Because this process makes your hair healthier, it can do big things for colour damaged hair.

All in all, despite this being a non-permanent straightening solution, you know in the long run you’ll be left with healthier, stronger locks.

Can you do this at home? Yeah. Should you though? Probably not.
Again, hairdressers are professionals for a reason. And if that’s not reason enough, getting it fixed will cost more than just getting it done properly in the first place.

If you think either of these solutions are options for you, or you’d just like to chat or learn more, then book your appointment with Taleah and the team to make your straight hair dream a reality.
