The team at The Salon affectionately referred to Llewellyn’s pale curls as a mop, and wasted no time in transforming it into a soft, colour-rich curl frenzy. A choc-brown colour was used, and styled in a way that allows him to wear it up, down, or even with dreads. The Wella Lifetex Range of products was used to ease out the wildness. Fizha neatened up Llewellyn’s eyebrows by combing and filling them in slightly. Fizha noted that he had fairly good skin, and a light concealer was used to cover some darker areas on his face. Medium tone powder was used to accentuate his cheekbones and a bronzer was added as a dash of colour to his quite fair face. With an ecstatic Llewellyn acting like he’d just stepped off a runway, there was no doubt that his old confidence was back. We’re still not sure who enjoyed it more, the MetroBeat team or Llewellyn.

So make a great impression with these tips on improving the condition of your hair. Healthy living means healthy hair Did you know that if you have a healthy lifestyle, then your hair is more inclined to follow suit? Washing your hair When it comes to conditioning hair, many fail to realise that you need to leave the conditioner on for a few minutes. This will ensure that it works its magic and gives you soft and smooth hair. Damage When using a heat styler, like a straightener or a hair dryer, use hair silicone to protect the hair. A dry ends formula will help prevent split ends. Wet hair Your hair is at its most fragile when it is wet. Use a rake comb to brush it while its wet. Running a brush through your hair is a sure fire way to cause hair breakage. Regular trimming You need to trim your hair every 6- 8 weeks. This will avoid you having split ends and your hair will be in a better condition. Regular trimming allows for healthier growing and less damage. Too much brushing Always think your hair is untidy? Well, if you are a regular brusher, stop it! Brushing your hair too much can add to split ends. Switching products If you are a believer that if you use one product for too long, it loses its effect, then you are wrong. – Your hair simply needs to be washed with a clarifying shampoo every two weeks. Don’t over-wash Too much washing can damage the hair as it washes away the sebum, an oily substance that protects our hair and makes it shiny. Some tips sourced from health24.com 35
