Can you use heat styling tools on HairDazzle?

“Yes, you can use hair straighteners, curling tongs and blow dry your hair with Hair Dazzle. Hair tinsel is heat resistant up to 200C and will not melt. We suggest you keep the straighteners moving. If you leave the straighteners in place longer than is recommended, your Hair Dazzle may curl slightly. You can fix this by switching to a lower temperature setting and re-straightening the Hair Dazzle strand.”

How do you attach hairdazzle?

Here’s a short video that details the simple process of attaching hairdazzle which most importantly of all is not going to damage your hair as they just tie onto the root of your hair.

How to attach Hair Dazzle

Hairdazzle is just as easily removed when you feel like a change or perhaps a different colour?

“Hair Dazzle hair tinsel can be removed anytime in a couple of ways:

** Hold the knot between your fingernails. Hold the hair the Hair Dazzle is tied to. Gently pull the knot along the hair strands until the HairDazzle comes out. Do not pull the knot too hard as you may pull the natural hair out from the root.

**Take hold of one single strand of Hair Dazzle and cut it close to the knot, making sure you do not cut your own hair. This will loosen the knot and the HairDazzle will slide out of the hair.”
Hairdazzle are available to buy right now from the HairCareShop, they cost £12.99 for 100 strands.

One of the latest trends to take the hair accessories market by storm is the new and innovative sleep in rollers which are available now from the HairCareShop. You may be thinking, what’s so special about sleep in rollers? They have been around since the early 1900s when most women wore their hair curled either tightly or in a ringlet style.

Fast forward to the modern day and onto E4s latest reality sensation the Desperate Scousewives. The girls in this programme are the experts in rocking the rollers, all in preparation for the night ahead.  Whereas back in the early 1900s women would not be seen dead in their rollers it is now became a trend in itself to walk around in your rollers during the day, perhaps after getting your nails done at your favourite salon and carrying a small dog about.

What makes these rollers different?

To achieve the best results when curling hair the longer the length of time that you leave the rollers in, the better and more long lasting the curl. We don’t always have the time during the day or before a night out to leave rollers in for the required amount of time so to be able to go to sleep comfortably with the rollers in takes care of two tasks at once!

The main reason the soft sleep in velcro rollers are different is the fact that they are soft enough to allow you to sleep in them but not too soft that they don’t curl the hair at all. The soft sleep in rollers are designed to flatten like a sponge therefore allowing you to sleep peacefully waking up to big and beautifully curled hair.

If you know you have a night out or an event the next day and you know you want to wear your hair in big, soft curls then you can wash your hair the day before, put the rollers in your hair have a good nights sleep and by the time you wake up your hair is mostly done!

The rollers work in exactly the same way as traditional velcro rollers work they grip the hair, allowing you to put them easily in your hair without clips or pins to secure them. Of course you can pin them or clip the rollers if you fell the need to keep them more secure  but it may reduce the ‘comfort’ factor.

The soft sleep in rollers are now available from the HairCareShop for the just £13 grab them now while you can because we know these are going to be very popular! Take the hard work out of looking great!

At the HairCareShop we are always on the look out for new and innovative product ranges to add to the HairCareShop website. We look at what the latest beauty trends are  and make our product choices based around what we know is going to be popular with our customers.

Introducing our newest range from natural hair and skin care brand Earthly Body.

“Earthly Body is a respected, family-owned company that has been creating high-quality, natural skin and hair care products since 1994. Earthly Body is one of the pre-eminent manufacturers of hemp-based natural body and skin care products.”

What is Hemp?

Hemp is a soft and durable fibre that is collected from plants; it is very popular as a base for organic and natural skin and hair care products around the world. Earthly body use hemp seed oil in all of their skin and hair care products.

Earthly body chooses to use hemp seed oil in their products because:

“Hemp seed oil is renowned for its skin moisturizing and rejuvenating properties and has the highest concentration of essential fatty acids (EFAs) of any essential oil, as well the perfect balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs (Earthly Body Website).”

Two of the most popular products in the Earthly Body range are the Marrakesh argan based oil and the massage scented candles.

Sounds intriguing doesn’t it, it seems that on the HairCareShop magazine we have neglected the male side of hair and grooming and we feel the need to focus on some of the new and exciting products that are available from the HairCareShop for men.

We want to stay away from the whole ‘metrosexual’ cliché and all that it entails – men like to look good, they like to look after their skin and have an individual style when it comes to their hair no matter how subtle. We at HairCareShop know that you do not need to be labelled just because you like a bit more than soap and water as part of your whole grooming routine! Male hair care products are just as new and revolutionary as our women’s ranges.

American Crew is a professional hair care brand that is not as often recognised in the British Beauty Market as say Wella or Redken but it’s just as sought after and effective. American Crew was founded and is still under the creative direction of David Raccuglia. American Crew’s mission and commitment to their customers is:

“…continues to lead the way in the men’s grooming business. With a passionate commitment to men’s grooming, our purpose is to bring men into salons, provide them with a great new experience and show them new ways of incorporating style into their everyday lives.”

Here at HairCareShop we have to agree completely, our salons and online professional hair care products shop is a place for both men and women to become regular customers, to find inspiration and add new exciting and effective products into their everyday grooming routine.

Anyway, I digress back to HairCareShop’s product in the spotlight which this article is American Crew’s Boost Powder for men (although I have a sneaking suspicion this may be one of these products that may disappear quite quickly and you may notice the significant other in your life with particularly attractive and volumised hair! So guard it carefully).

You may have seen come onto the market recently several root boosting powders, designed to give your hair that much sought after matt, texturised and outstandingly volumised hair. The difference is this product from American Crew is designed and targeted specifically at men.

Long gone are the days when men would (I’m trying to think of a descriptive enough word) lets say, be a bit heavy handed with the hair gel. So much so I remember seeing boys when I was at school and you could literally see the gel dripping off of their hair! The look now is much more dry, texturised and long lasting – the product of choice used to be wax there were also some pretty hard core spray gels which often gave a ‘rock hard’ effect. This beauty of Boost Powder is it gives brilliant hold, immediate lift and an on trend matt (non rock solid) beachy, texturised effect.

The application is simple just sprinkle (sparingly!) onto your hair and work it in to your hair focusing on the roots and the bringing it up to the ends for the perfect, fantastically quick, effortlessly styled, thick hair. American Crew Boost Powder is also perfect for men who feel their hair is becoming a little thin; it will give texture and boost the volume of hair in an instant.

Available now from the HairCareShop for the specially reduced price of £11.75.
