INDOLA Returns as Official Hair Sponsor for Huishan Zhang AW25 Ready-to-Wear at London Fashion Week

This marks the fourth season of collaboration between the renowned haircare brand and the acclaimed designer.

Published:

Inspired by the effortless glamour of Valley of the Dolls and the iconic aesthetic of Edie Sedgwick at Andy Warhol’s Factory parties, both the collection and hair looks paying homage to the iconic style of the 1960s.

INDOLA products from the new styling range were used to achieve voluminous crowns and sleek, glossy ponytails. The hairstyles completed the 1960’s aesthetic, helping bring Huishan Zhang’s AW25 vision to life.

“The hair looks were created with a little bit of volume throughout and at the crown of the head, creating quite a round shape to emphasise that classic 60s nod, but still quite minimalist to suit Huishan’s aesthetic,”
– Johanna Cree Brown, Lead Hair Stylist.

Titled, ‘Modern Antiquity’, Lo reimagines traditional Asian iconography – tiger stripes, swirling cloud motifs and delicate florals – by warping, distorting and reshaping them.

“The inspiration for this look is a continuation of the patterns and panels we’ve explored in previous seasons. We wanted to mimic elements of
the patterns and textures within Chet’s designs by incorporating high gloss crimped panels at the back and sides of the hair. To achieve this, we used hero Authentic Beauty Concept”
– Anna.

Step By Step

1. Hair is smoothed out from a sharp middle parting, using straightening irons and Glow Spray Serum.

How to justify a luxury price tag when it comes to hair extensions

The common phrase, ‘you buy cheap, you buy twice’, couldn’t be more true when it comes to hair extensions.

Published:
|

Spectrum One Hair Extensions are known for their sky high quality which is proven by their loyal returning customer retention and excellent 4.9 Trustpilot trust score; you don’t have to just take their word for it.

Award winning founder and salon owner, Katy Grimshaw, explains some of the reasons why it’s important to choose well when it comes to extensions partner and tailoring your budget accordingly.

A post shared by Spectrum One Hair Extensions (@spectrumonehairextensions)

When you purchase good quality, often more expensive hair extensions, it makes them a much more cost-effective choice for your client over time, meaning they’re more likely to opt into extensions services over a longer period of time and be generally happier with the service. In comparison, cheaper hair extensions will need replacing much more frequently which can be frustrating for the client.

“Our hair extensions have lasted some clients up to 3 years; on average, you should be expecting professional hair extensions to last a minimum of 9-12 months”
– Katy.

How To Check For Quality

Premium quality professional hair extensions are much less prone to shedding and breakage and can be easily identified as ‘luxury hair’. If you’re unsure whether the hair is good quality, a great ‘tell’ is the look and feel of thickness in each strand, which will be the same from root to tip if they’re of premium quality. Poor quality hair will often feel and look thinner towards the ends.

“Our luxury hair is known as double drawn hair and guaranteed to last for much longer. They’re also tangle and shed free, meaning they’re effortless to style and maintain on a daily basis,”
– Katy

Katy Recommends

• Make sure your brand aligns with your hair extensions partner. If you’re offering a luxury service with a luxury price tag, make sure your content, marketing and brand positioning reflects that.
• Everyone looking to launch luxury hair extensions on their service menu should look at engaging in a cross brand promotion with an influencer relevant within your region to local business.
• Collect testimonials from your clients and let them sing your hair extensions praises for you!

Myths about textured hair debunked

Jessica Parrish, founder of specialist textured haircare brand, Shedid & Parrish debunks some common myths.

Published:
|

Myth 1: Textured Hair is Stronger Than European Hair

The Truth:

While textured hair might look thick and robust, the bends and twists in the hair strands actually make them more prone to breakage. This quality means gentle handling is essential, particularly if the hair is dehydrated. To protect textured hair, Jessica recommends gentle detangling, moisturising regularly, and avoiding excessive heat styling.

Hero Product: Perfect for nourishing and protecting every curl type, Shedid & Parrish Afro Butter can be used as a deeply hydrating treatment to help combat breakage.

Myth 2: Textured Hair Doesn’t Grow as Fast as Other Hair Types.

The Truth:

All hair types grow at around 1cm per month. The myth that textured hair grows slower comes back to its tendency to break more easily. Ensuring hair and scalp are healthy and hydrated, along with a gentle approach to styling, will help avoid follicles snapping and result in longer, fuller hair.

Hero products: Shedid & Parrish Curl Styler not only defines curls, it also nourishes the hair for ongoing protection from breakage. Silky Leave-In Conditioner gives a smooth, silky finish while also repairing, strengthening, and nourishing hair.

Myth 3: Washing Textured Hair Too Often is Bad

The Truth:

Textured hair needs washing like any other hair type to avoid product build-up and damage from pollutants. Washing regularly with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo can help keep the scalp and hair clean without stripping away natural oils. Focus on using nourishing, moisture-boosting products to keep strands healthy and hydrated.

Hero product: Shedid & Parrish Deep Cleansing Shampoo gently cleanses hair and scalp without stripping away essential oils.

Myth 4: Textured Hair Doesn’t Need Conditioning

The Truth:

Textured hair needs conditioning more than any other hair type due to its natural dryness. The curl of the hair strands makes it harder to distribute oil along its full length, leading to drier, more fragile ends. Conditioning should be part of every textured hair routine. The more moisture, the better.

Hero product: Ideal for regular use, Shedid & Parrish Deep Restoring Conditioner repairs, strengthens, and nourishes hair, whether it needs a lightweight moisture boost or a deeper, restorative mask treatment.

Myth 5: Textured Hair Can Handle More Heat

The Truth:

Textured hair is often more sensitive to heat than straighter hair types. High temperatures can lead to dryness, brittleness, and permanent heat damage, affecting curl pattern and overall health. If you must use heat, keep it gentle and use it sparingly.

Hero product: Shedid & Parrish Curl Control Serum repairs, strengthens and protects hair, while delivering unbeatable styling performance.

Aveda’s New Scalp Solution Masque

Skincare inspired plant-derived ingredients and Aveda’s newest hydration technology take scalp comfort and hair care to a deeper level.

Published:
|

Thoughtfully designed to target scalp discomfort due to dryness, the NEW Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque (RRP £48/€48) is powered by Aveda’s Biotech Naturals Moisture Recharge Technology to replenish scalp’s moisture barrier by 77%* with skincare grade hydrators.

This intensive, multi-tasking, velvety crème masque delivers indulgent, soothing scalp hydration while leaving hair soft, supremely hydrated, and 4X smoother**.

“It’s important to care for your scalp daily, like you care for your skin, to set a good foundation for healthy-looking hair. Keeping your scalp hydrated and maintaining your scalp barrier integrity is crucial, as dry scalps are more susceptible to damage, stress and premature visible scalp aging which can lead to dry, brittle or thinning hair that lacks luster and can be prone to breakage,”
– Christine Hall, Aveda Vice President of Research & Development.

Aveda’s Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque works to recharge the scalp lipid matrix (the bit that keeps water in to preserve the scalp’s barrier). The Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque features Aveda’s Biotech Natural Moisture Recharge Technology, a rich botanical blend of high-tech skincare grade super hydrators, including vegan squalane. It replenishes the scalp moisture barrier resulting in dual-impact soothing hydration for both scalp and hair.

“Squalane is an important ingredient in skincare and scalp care because of its hydration and moisture replenishment benefits. Our vegan squalane is derived through biofermentation, using responsibly sourced sugar cane as the starting material. Fermentation is one of the ways Aveda merges modern methods of technology with nature to obtain the best ingredients for our formulations while maintaining our commitment to using naturally derived ingredients,”
– Alison Pawlus, PhD Pharmacognosist and Aveda Principal Scientist.

AVEDA’S SCALP SOLUTIONS COLLECTION

Backed by research from world-leading scientific authorities in scalp biology, Aveda’s Scalp Solutions leverages botanical adaptogenic scalp science to deliver a holistic high-performance and wellness-inspired approach to scalp care. The Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque joins Aveda’s Scalp Solutions collection of botanically powered products designed to soothe scalp irritation and fight visible signs of premature scalp aging for healthier looking hair.
