Winter “Hat Hair”

by Rachel

According to the weather man unfortunately we are heading for a horrid couple of months now that winter has kicked in and as we all know there is nothing worse than “hat hair” – frizzy ends and limp flat roots!

Like many of our clients stylists at Cats Whiskers Hair Salon have already pulled out our woolly hats along with a host of other people but unfortunately it is impossible to avoid hat hair.

However we can help minimize the process of flat and frizzy hair just by following these handy hints:

• Don’t try and fight your hair’s natural movement, work with it and embrace the messy look – fashionable,
• If you have a fringe work it in with the hat – pull it forward so you have it just resting over your eyes – showing off your eyes, or simply clip it back out the way using a tiny plain clip that matches your hair colour,
• Handy little products in your handbag are always a plus – little mirror, hairspray- mini Masterpiece or a serum- Glaze Haze or Dream Drops (all by Tigi) always helps.
• To help those dry frizzy ends it is always nice to use a deep conditioning treatment to give the hair a boost of vitamins and shine – Tigi S-Factor’s Serious Conditioner is an ideal option.

Kebelo: what’s all the hype about?

Kebelo Smoothing System has arrived at Cats Whiskers Hair Salon. Simply put; it's not just another "keratin straightening treatment." With a plant-based, totally formaldehyde-free, 3-step smoothing system, the new Kebelo Smoothing System delivers 100 days of frizz-free hair.

Kebelo vs Brazilian Blowdry

“There are several points of difference;
• It is a same day wash out. Other treatments need to be left in the hair for three days to take effect. Kebelo System® is washed out same-day, in-salon.
• Kebelo System® is a 3-step system; Cleanse, Treat and Maintain. We ensure the quality of each step in order to create the foundation of beautiful hair.
• Kebelo System® gives the flexibility to create alternate hair styles throughout the 12 week period. We give the foundation for beautiful hair, and allow for creative passion to flourish.
• The treatment formulated for Kebelo System® is free from formaldehydes and other aldehyde derivatives. We have developed an entirely new technology based on amino acids and botanical proteins.
• In short, it is 100% safe for both the client and the stylist.”

Once touted as the cure for frizz Brazilian blow-dries straightened the hair and by straight we mean poker straight! Just 12 months ago Brazilian blow-dries were one of the most sought after hair services. Unfortunately many of the Brazilian blow-dry products on the market were found to have high concentrations of carcinogens and were subsequently banned in several countries including the United States and Canada. Several European countries have followed suit although the UK was not one of them. At Cats Whiskers we made a decision not to stock products which could be detrimental to the health of clients and staff.
