Wedding hair at RMUK

By RMUK on May 5th, 2013

Growing hair- One of the first things to think about is the style you wish to achieve and how you want your hair to look in terms of length. Plan ahead and make sure you don’t have it cut right before your wedding if you need that length for your hair to be put up into your required style.

Professional hair Treatments – Can really boost hair growth (along with healthy eating). Try coming in for a hair treatment such as L’Oreal Professionel Power Repair B or Cristalceutic, at least once a month or at least when you have your hair trimmed, and start as many months before your wedding day if you can. For the last couple of weeks increase application to at least once times a week at RMUK we can simply shampoo your hair, apply the treatment and then the conditioner with a rough dry to finish for ONLY £10!
Or if you don’t have time to venture to RMUK for your treatments then use a professional masque as a treatment at home, we recommend L’Oreal Professional Intense Repair Conditioner or Kerastase Nutri Thermique Masque. The masques are more concentrated than normal conditioners so you only need to use a tiny amount. Use one of these treatments and you will notice your hair has become smoother, sleeker and shinier for your wedding day! Conditioned hair will also behave better when styling.

Straighteners and Curling- If you just love your straigtheners and styling tools, (and who doesn’t?), make sure you use a heat protector such as L’Oreal
Professionel Hot Style Constructor Spray, to help limit damage and stop your hair drying out too much during the weeks leading up to your wedding. If you
can cut down and then stop straightening your hair the week before you wedding, you will notice a big difference in the quality of your hair.

Hair extensions? There is quite a bit to hair extensions! They can be key to create your dream wedding hairstyle. At RMUK we now offer 2 brands of hair extensions Great Lengths and Racoon. Hair extensions can help add volume, length, texture and/or chemical-free colour to any style. You can personalise your application to meet all your needs. If your hair is fine or lifeless then volume is exactly what you need. Our stylists will add extra ‘layers’ of hair in between your locks to achieve great thickness. Many women find their hair only grows to a set length before starting to look unhealthy and ratty with split ends. With hair extensions you can achieve any length you desire. This will come in handy for achieving certain looks, such as a curly downstyle or a thick ballerina bun. Hair must be at least 10cm in length for hair extensions to be applied. Hair extensions are easy to work with. They are also infused with keratin (the protein found in hair, skin and nails, which keeps them strong and healthy) for a smooth, frizz free finish.

How to create a voluminous blow dry with L’Oreal Professionel and RMUK

By RMUK on April 16th, 2013

Prepping your hair is key to recreating a voluminous blow dry. Start by shampooing your hair with L’Oreal Professionel Volumetry Shampoo then follow with Volumetry Conditioner.

Towel dry your hair, then spray Volumetry Spray from root to tip. The volumetry Spray will not weigh your hair down so don’t be worried about overloading your hair. It will disappear as you blow dry your hair

A good quality curling brush is required to smooth out the length and ends of your hair. To recreate extra shape  on the ends of your hair wrap the hair around the barrel of your brush for a few seconds before releasing. This will create a soft wavy result.

A light spray of Infinium hairspray will hold the hair in place without leaving it crunchy feeling

For EXTRA VOLUME blow dry your hair upside down, then backcomb your hair at the crown then gently smooth over careful not to pull hard on the hair. This will also create the illusion of fuller hair

The following day use L’Oreal SOS spray to give a textured look to limb hair it eeks out your roots for another day without the nasty white talc effect.

On trend 2013 Spring Summer plait

By RMUK on April 4th, 2013

Plaits have been on trend for a few seasons now, and why not? There are so many ways you can plait your hair, traditional plait, fish plait, french pleat, the list goes on. This season sees a simple thin plait at one side of the hair going round the back of the head to harness the rest of your hair. And don’t worry you don’t need to have super long hair like the models in our pictures either! This style sports 2 trends in 1 style – the plait and the side parting. Both are huge on the catwalks at the moment

Do brunettes have more fun?

By RMUK on April 3rd, 2013

I’ve recently written about what your hair colour says about you and it seems that some celebrities are ditching the blonde for a more natural look. Reese Witherspoon, Ellen DeGeneres and Ashley Tisdale are a few celebrities that have recently changed the colour of their locks.

Ellen took to twitter to show off her new look tweeting, ‘Reese Witherspoon isn’t the only one who’s gone brunette.’

While Reese and Ellen have gone for a dramatic all over tone, Ashley is taking her transformation in stages with keeping some lighter highlights throughout her hair 

If you are contemplating a change then come and see one of our stylists where they can do do a thorough consultation to discuss shades with you.

Contact RMUK Today and Book your colour consultation appointment.
