In a recent post we at Hairact mentioned that the average woman will spend upwards of £750 per year on visits to the hairdressers and other related hair products, then defend this amount of money by claiming that it’s an investment.
Well, after looking at various web sites we are now noticing that men are starting to creep up in the spending stakes when it comes to looking after their hair. Men can now spend on average as much as £240 every year on haircuts alone – and this does not include mens hair products such as shampoos, conditioners, hair treatments and hair accessories such as hair straighteners.
We understand, and like the fact, that men are now taking the time to look after their appearance and that’s why at Hairact we have a full section dedicated to male grooming products. So whether it’s shampoos, conditioner’s or styling matte we are sure we have the product for you.
On a related subject have a thought for Troy Polamalu, the Pittsburgh Steelers defender who has just had his hair insured for $1 million through Lloyd’s of London. What price would you insure your hair for? Use the comments section below to let us know your thoughts.
Today’s well groomed man is now just as obsessed about their appearance as their female counterparts. Not only is it important to dress and feel well but he can now spend just as much time in the bedroom getting their ‘locks’ just right before they even take a step out of the house. This is a massive transformation from a few decades ago where a simple dab with styling cream and a comb would have been the way ‘real’ men do their hair.
For men it’s all about getting it right, clothes style and haircut, which can often mean following their favourite pop star or movie idol. Long fringes and perfectly straight hair means the use of hair straighteners and creams and treatments. One of the best ways that men find to straighten their hair is by borrowing their partners GHD’s which can often clash on nights out.
With Christmas just around the corner why not treat your partner to his own set of GHD hair straighteners and avoid clashing on those all important end of year parties.

One of the best feelings in the world is when you step out of a hair salon with your hair looking and feeling great. Having great hair has the ability to relieve stress, help you with depression and make you feel great about yourself. However, one of the biggest problems that people find is that they cannot afford to frequent their local salon as much as they would like, so they have to mimic the salon in their own home.
Many people found that they had to use supermarkets own brands as professional cosmetic companies only sold their shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments to proper salons, and were not available for public sale.
In recent years that has all changed and now the general public can access these great hair products. Here at Hairact we know that not everyone can book an appointment at our salons so we can now offer then the best in total hair care including shampoos, conditioners and treatments from Sebastian, Tigi and Sexy Hair, ensuring that everyone can experience great salon looking hair.
One sad fact about today’s society, is that many men and women are judged by their outer appearance. They may be the nicest person in the world but if they look out of character, then they’ll find it hard to succeed. People have to look their best when it comes to clinching that deal, finding a new partner or even a new job, but for the millions of men and women that are losing their hair this can be a very trying time.

At Hairact we understand that people love to look their best and therefore have a full range of shampoos, conditioners and treatments than can give your hair that ‘fuller’ look.
Spare a thought for the many women, and some men, who suffer from static in their hair. Static can be caused by various things from the clothes you’re wearing to the shoes on your feet. However, if you are using hair straighteners or hot air dryers where you aware that the huge difference in temperature will cause hair to become electrically charged.

When it comes to choosing the perfect present for the other half, how many of us menfolk can honestly say that they have it mastered? If you are anything like me then I bet you struggle every year, especially when it comes to Valentines day, Birthdays, Anniversaries and not forgetting Christmas. It has to be said, when it comes to choosing decent presents, us men are pretty much clueless/useless.
As we all know we love to relax, but women, perhaps love it even more then us men and you will find few who would turn down a lovely hot indulgent bath. Once they emerge from the bathroom, women love to spend time doing their hair, that is where the the management at Hairact have it covered.
Here at Hairact we understand that the majority of men are not the best at choosing gifts and have therefore introduced a selection of perfect hair gift sets and hair products for the love of your life.
When it comes to getting ready for a night out, some woman can take hours upon hours, before their ready to step-through the front door. Firstly, they have to choose the outfit that they want to wear, then choose the right combination of make-up. Next on the agenda is their hair : washing, drying and styling all takes its time
However, if you have curly hair, then forget about booking that meal at your favourite restaurant early. For those women, that are blessed with curly locks, dry and frizzy hair has to be one of the biggest problems that they will encounter whilst getting ready for a night out.
For some curly hair girls, they can simply visit their local hairdressers and get some trained professional to work their magic on it. Although, this can work out to be very expensive week in and week out – depending how much of a socialite you are. At Hairact we totally understand that not everyone can afford to visit their local hairdressers, each time their social calendar calls for it, and can now supply hair products which will combat that dry or frizzy hair. Ensuring that your hair always looks it’s best no matter the time of day.
In today’s society there is considerable pressure on almost everyone – even looking good carries with it the emotional baggage of dressing to impress. Of course we all handle pressure differently, some can brush it off while for others pressure can take it’s toll. Strain from pressure can cause conditions such as stress, anxiety and even depression.
Some people have taken drastic measures in their efforts to look their best with visits to the plastic surgery and memberships to their local gym on the increase.
And yet, one of the most popular ways on making yourself feel better and much less extreme than going under a surgeon’s blade is by booking an appointment with your local hairdressers.
As they say “time waits for no man or woman” and in this day and age many people are taking to dying their hair, this can be for several reasons such as:
- Hiding greying hair.
- Wanting to be a different colour.
- Looking for the feel good factor.
- Enhance our exisiting look more.
No matter the season, getting your hair coloured at a professional salon can turn out to be a costly experience. Hair colouring is time consuming which is why it normally is one of the most expensive operations on the salon’s price list. However, using normal shampoos and conditioners can have the tendency to ‘dull and strip’ your new colour. So in order to protect your new look and make it last longer, we at Hairact have a range of hair products which will prolong the new looking you.
