Summer Hair

As I’m writing this rain is coming down and making a hell of a noise on the skylight, a very welcome sound.

It has been hot hey! A true summer. But we can all sleep well tonight in the cooler air – YES!

Things are going along brilliantly and everyone is flooding back in with tales of their fun holidays.

Something you see every year at this time is damage and colour fading to hair with the UV and environmental distress. Sand, sun and surf is great and I love the way it makes hair look but it does tax the health of your hair.

So what to do? The answer is actually really easy, prevent.

When you’re sitting in the sun, wear a hat. Rinse salt and chlorine out of hair as soon as you can and step up your conditioner to pack in more protein and richness. For fine hair use a leave-in spritz to re-mineralise. Follow those steps and you should get through unscathed.

The Damage is done??

You can’t lose with an in-salon treatment personally prescribed for what ails your hair.

Budget’s tight??

Use Davine’s Glorifying Anti-age Elixir. Like the name suggests, it’s something special. Just apply a few drops to your sad sun damaged mids to ends, wait 5 mins, wash as usual and be wowed at the results. There are about 5 treatments in a vial which retails for around $20.

So enjoy this fantastic summer but don’t neglect your locks!

Oh my giddy Aunt!

Baby Nina

Can it truly be 2010 already?

We must be getting old ‘cause that just flew by and now it’s a whole new decade, WOW!!

Well the whole concept has sent us onto overdrive and we can see that it’s time for expansion and to take this whole Killer thing to a new level, BUT if the last decade taught us anything it’s to not get too big too soon. So wherever we move to you can be sure it will still have the quirky personal edge that we enjoy here at Fleet St.

While we watch the news and see the big chill that has encapsulated Europe we stick our heads outside and think “Awesome Summer”!! If the scientists are to be believed, let’s love it while we can! Steven and I have been influenced by this in the salon. Summer holiday hair doesn’t have to end when you get back to work. Just apply your finishing product when your hair is still damp to bring up natural texture and a light crunch. Add jandals and it’s an easy-as weekend look!

We hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and New Year - sorry you’ve not heard from us in a while. Hairdressers are mad busy at that time of year and add one Nina baby and we were a bit like the walking dead. But Nina is sleeping through the night now and even though we see the odd sunrise we have a much better handle on this whole parenting thing!

So expect to hear from us on a weekly basis at least.

Congratulations to Joanne, we look forward to seeing you in the salon next week as our competition winner.
