As women reach their mid twenties to mid thirties they may notice that each time they get out of the bath or shower there seems to be more and more hair gathered in the plug hole, the same can be said about their hair brush. This can cause distress and concern to many women, however you are not alone. It is estimated that as much as one in three women will experience some hair loss during their life.
An average person will lose between 50-150 hairs each day, these are the ones that fall out naturally while brushing, combing, pulling, towel drying and sleeping. This is normal, however, when more than average fall out it can be down to a number of different factors:

“Mumbai enjoys two greats”, that’s what all the fashion experts were saying as the Lakmé Fashion Week come to an end. For this was the first time that TIGI’s International Creative Director and number one hair stylist Anthony Mascolo had graced his talents in the Indian city, that combined with with top couturier Christopher Kane the show was filled with high fashion and even better hairstyles showing off the styles for 2010.
Even although the fashion was outstanding the crowed was left applauding at the mastery of Anthony Mascolo’s amazing hair styles. Both Anthony and Christopher clearly enjoyed the Indian experience both saying that it was a pleasure working with each other, once again alliterating that hair and fashion have to go together.

We just recently received our photoshoots for our hair models. We think they look stunning. What’s your thoughts?
As I settled down on Sunday night to watch the grandeur of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards (Oscars) I was left somewhat disappointed and even found myself laughing at some of the celebrities as they strolled onto that famous red carpet on the Hollywood Boulevard. You must admit, with all the money that these celebrities ‘rake in,’ would it be too much to ask for them to visit a proper fashion advisor and hair stylist.
To be honest if the awards were held in Scotland or even Iceland (where it is wet and windy) then there is an excuse for some of the bad hair styles, but it was not, it was in Hollywood and after a breezy start the weather picked up. This is a massive night for all involved, probably the biggest night of their life’s (so far) so why in front of the worlds press do they insist on parading down the red carpet looking like they had just fell out off bed and not a hair finishing product in sight.
It has been said that every time we see David and Victoria Beckham step from their house, make special appearances or visit fashion shows they are responsible for setting a new fashion trend. Whether it’s clothes, jewellery or hair cuts from the worlds best, the press is always there to record there new look.
Victoria Beckham was recently spotted at the Marc Jacobs catwalk show at the New York fashion Show sporting a new hair cut. It is reported that she got hairdresser to the stars Garren who also does Jessica Sarah Parker and J-Lo’s hair telling him to do what he wants. This not only shows immense trust but impeccable judgement in their ability to transform hair. Garren decided that Victoria would suit The Pop, a hair style that was made famous by Mia Farrow.
Whether you love or loath her, you have to admit people will follow her style, here are some of the iconic hair styles which the world has seen from Victoria Beckham:
When you book an appointment at your local hairdressers you are booking much more than just a space in a stylist’s chair. For some, this is a time to relax from the daily toil of house work, kids and constant moans of the loved one. As you relax back into your seat, the hairdresser begins to massage exotic ingredients into your hair you can now feel all the stress of the day simply running away with the water and lather.
Hairdressers are not just professional people that cut, colour and style your hair but are also good listeners, problem solvers and friends to all their clients. Having your own hairdresser is like having your own stress manager, therapist and councillor all rolled into one. Not only will they listen to all your complaining, problems and general gossip they will also make you feel and look great as you leave their shop.
With all the award ceremonies that have been taking place recently some of the celebs must be wishing that they had a good hairdresser that they can call a friend.
Your familiar with the scenario. It is played out across thousands of homes every weekend. There is the guy left shouting that the taxi will be here anytime at the bottom of the stairs while there other half is still getting ready… she’s all dressed, make up on so what is keeping her? As the guy ascends the stairs he sees his other half sitting on the stool, dragging hot straighteners through her hair in order to keep it straight.
Remembering, that a set of hair straighteners will reach temperatures in excess of 200 degrees, what is an ideal age to start using them ten, twelve or late teens, after all, that heat must start to dry your hair out.
However in her recent reality program Katie Price, (aka Jordan) was seen straightening her two year old daughter’s hair. Is this right to put someone at that age through such an ordeal, after all putting something at 200 degrees next to your scalp is scary enough for an experienced person.
If you have to straighten your hair, there there are products that are designed to protect and moisturise your hair. Here we feature a few hair straightening products…
Best International Album, Best International Female Solo and Best International Breakthrough Act that’s what Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta walked away with at the recent BRIT awards on Tuesday night. Better known by her stage name of Lady Gaga her performance which included a melody of ‘Telephone’ and ‘Dance in the Dark’ were done as tribute to the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
Lady Gaga stole the show as she strolled up the red carpet with one of the most revealing dresses that she had ever worn, and adorned one of the craziest blonde wigs ever seen, well since the last Elton John party anyway.
This is a look that obviously suits this singer, who admitted to having hair extensions, she has also admitted on her fan page that she regularly bleaches her hair as she is a natural brunette and was fed up being mistaken for the British singer Amy Winehouse.
A recent survey from The Trichological Society, which have been looking into the effects of poor hair extensions want to warn people that although some salons will be offering this procedure at a low cost it’s not all good news as this can cause irreversible damage to your scalp such as bald patches and alopecia, some of the blame may be down to the poor or no training of the hairdresser.
The Trichological Society go on to warn that poor hair extensions will pull the natural hair and as the extensions start to tangle you may be in danger of pulling out your own natural hair.
Remember not all salons are the same, if you wish to get hair extensions talk to a professional hairdresser and they will inform you correctly of how to look after your hair extensions and also the hazards to avoid and hopefully this will help put your mind at ease.
