HAIR ED S LETTER Every woman has a relationship with hair, good or bad. Mine started when I was nine. During school holidays, my mom would buy something called cold stretch. She d apply the white stuff on my hair, and in no time it gave me a burning sensation. Immediately after, my head would be under a running tap of cold water as she washed off the offending product. Before I knew it, my hair would be transformed from a coarse nest to fine flowing locks. Not everything was perfect though some parts of my hair would be unprocessed. When it was time to go back to school, my hair was shaved off, which made me look like a boy. That s when it clicked to me that as women, there s something about hair that enhances our beauty. The high school I went to allowed girls to relax their hair. Soon enough, I became adventurous with different styles. At school, I d tie it into a neat pony, and on weekends I d rock loose curls. One time, my mom spoilt me with human hair extensions. I was ecstatic! I loved my relaxed hair, but hated the sore process. Also, I had so much flaky dandruff, which I later learnt was a result of unwashed chemicals. The thought of going natural never crossed my mind in those days, the look wasn t as modern as it is now. So out of the blue, I decided to grow dreadlocks, a style my mom didn t approve of. She dismissed it as unladylike. I wore the dreads anyways and for once, my hair grew naturally without the help of chemicals. After a few years of proudly donning the locks, I cut them off and went back to relaxers. But this time, I was clued up and had a proper haircare regime. And I found products specifically formulated for sensitive scalps like mine. Looking back, I really can t recall every single hairstyle I ve had through the years, especially because I have something new every week, and I spot different styles in the office too. As we put this issue together, I m reminded of the many styles that I m yet to try. There s no shortage of trends to choose from as inspired by industry leaders and celebs. This summer, hair has never looked this good. Find your style and go for it! HAPPY HAIR DAYS, FRIENDS!

TRENDS HAIR NECOLE BITCHIE BIG IS IN Take inspiration from starlets like Kelly Rowland and Kelis for a curly mane. If you don t have a curly wig or weave, now s the time to get your hands on one. It s the perfect go-to style for bad hair days, or if you want to give your locks a break. Invest in a good scalp treatment to keep hair moisturised and prevent dandruff and dry flakes.

Invest in a conditioning hair spray; this gives the curls sheen and reduces frizz. 2. Do not comb the curls. Once they ve separated, it s difficult to restore their perfect ringlets. Rather use your fingers to loosen them. 3. After washing the hairpiece, air dry it instead of using a blowdryer. 4. Do not use oils on the wig as they ll make the fibres heavy and cause the curls to drop. 5. Keep the wig neat by trimming the ends regularly.

PRADA RAG & BONE Sofn free Non Flaking Styling Gel, R33,95 Dr Miracle s Edge Holding Gel, R89,95 Hairdressing scissors, R125 BABY FRINGE Bangs have been given a fresh makeover think DIY bangs that looked like the models went crazy with the scissors. The trick is to use your baby hair to inspire the look, then getting a professional hairstylist to cut the bangs. If you have super thick hair, stay away from this trend as the fringe will be too stiff. If you really want to do this style, relax your hair and blow dry until it s straight. Invest in a good holding gel to keep the bangs firmly in place. Ghd Platinum White Styler R2 999 Rubber bands R24,95 BOTTEGA BONETA The pun What s a pun? Well, it s the season s hybrid between a ponytail and a bun. There s no wrong or right when it comes to this do. Models at Etro, Phillip Lim, and Rag & Bone S/S16 strutted down the runway with wisps of hair billowing out of the pun. To get the style, start by applying a heatprotecting serum to freshly dried hair. Use a heat straightener to lengthen the hair. Section the front part (to leave out strands), then tie the hair in a half-tucked loose ponytail using an elastic band. 10 SUMMER 2016/17 WWW.TRUELOVE.CO.ZA
