This party season, matte, beachy hair is out and glossy, healthy hair is in – and thanks to the latest product innovations on the market, it’s never been easier to prioritise the health of your clients’ hair while still ensuring they’re left with a gorgeous style that lasts all night.
Marie Nieuwoudt, Group Education Manager for Cloud Nine, explains: “Christmas is synonymous with sparkle – and your clients’ hair should be too. For a smooth, polished look, glide the Cloud Nine Wide Iron through the hair from root to tip, adjusting the strokes depending on the hair type.” With eleven temperature settings, this tool can be tailored to match each client’s unique hair type, while its Revive Mode uses Axial Vibration technology to vibrate the plates at the optimal frequency, feeding hair between with minimum friction and reduced direct heat contact for maximum shine.
Meanwhile, Alicia Dobson, Bellissima Hair Ambassador, believes that Sabrina Carpenter's XL blow-dry will be a popular request this season. She says: “My go-to for creating a voluminous look like this would be the Prodigy Air Styler from Bellissima; it has five times more pressure than a conventional hairdryer, speeding up the styling process.”
As for other celebrities providing inspiration, Chris Long, Dyson's GB Styling Ambassador, believes that Pamela Anderson's 90s up-do will be a favourite for many clients – “think hair stacked high on the head with curls tumbling down,” he explains. “When blow drying the hair, I always opt to use the Dyson Supersonic r Professional hairdryer. Not only does it dry the hair without using extreme heat for minimal damage, the hairdryer itself is super lightweight, which reduces the strain of repetitive motions.”
