I have written before about how changing your parting can change your style especially when growing your hair. Well this Spring Summer is the perfect time to try this as the side parting is HUGE. Whether you wear your hair down with the side parting or then style your hair into a ponytail or rolls it will look great and so on trend this season

Just for the pure randomness of it I decided to show you this on our blog
I was looking for inspiration from London Fashion Week 2013 to write about hair and beauty for our blog and this is what I came across.
Really?? Think the jumper says it all!

Here are a few questions and answers to questions our stylists get asked on a regular basis.
What makes hair break? Hair fibre weakens and deteriorates due to colouring, blow drying, not using the proper heat protection, not using the correct products, hair being tied up using elastic bands, leading to eventual breakage and split ends. During the winter months central heating affects hair, during summer air conditioning does too. Whilst on holiday in any season the drying effect of the beach or pool can also contribute to breakage.
How are split ends caused? Over-brushing and also back-combing because it disturbs the cuticle (the hard, shingle like layer of overlapping cells, made up of dead cells which form scales to give the hair shaft strength and protection). Brushing hair when wet (as opposed to combing) stretches hair by up to 25%, leaving it vulnerable.
What is the best way to treat split ends? When towel-drying your hair, don’t be too vigorous, only use covered bands not elastic bands to tie your hair up. Do not use brushes to begin with use a wide tooth comb, use a brush to style. Keep hair well-conditioned using the conditioner recommended for your hair type by your stylist, dry hair splits faster. Having regular trims every 6 – 10 weeks gets rid of those dead ends. Also try using the correct products when treating your hair.
What is the most important thing we can do to improve hair condition? Lay off the blow-dryers, hair curlers, and straighteners (heat is public enemy number 1!) Let your hair dry naturally until it is 75% dry, then use your hairdryer for final styling. If you use heated straighteners, it is really worth investing in a heat protecting product such as L’Oreal Hot Style Constructor Spray .Don’t use the straighteners until the final stages of styling they are not to be used to dry your hair!
Is it possible to assess hair damage yourself? Yes. Everyone can do an elasticity test: pluck one hair from your head, pull it tightly from one end, and let go. If the hair doesn’t spring right back, that’s a sign that is has lost elasticity and could break if subjected to additional heat or chemical treatments like dying/perms. Check your brush: hair that breaks off at the root (you’ll see the white bulb at one end) is normal; hair that cracks mid-way down the shaft, however is not. If the damage is extensive, you’ll be losing much more than the average 50-100 hairs a day. Last but not least, damaged hair dries faster as it is more porous. If your hair is medium-thick and it takes less than an hour to air-dry it is in trouble. Regular treatments 15minutes at RMUK will help repair the damage.

Leona Lewis added a little understatement to her otherwise dramatic look at the Love Ball in London, with a chunky and tousled over-the-shoulder fish plait. She tamed the rest of her signature curly locks into sleek and face-flattering flicks left loose around her face.
