Hot Tips for Holiday Hair

For those who haven't yet had their Summer holiday, you may want to listen up and take note to the following post. This week Mark Hill provided Love Your Hair with his top tips for maintaining your barnet abroad. At RHBC headquarters, we were both impressed by and loved the information Mark shared, and therefore thought we would post our favourite tips on our blog for you to read:


Why do I need to protect my hair from the sun?

Sun, salt, chlorine and the change in atmosphere can damage your hair and drain it of essential moisture. Like most things, prevention is better than cure, so keeping your hair protected in the sun will save months of getting it back into condition after your holiday. 

How does a heat protection spray protect from harmful UV rays?

A heat protection spray will only work if it has a UV filter as it’s the rays that do the damage. However, you can sometimes use the heat of the sun to benefit your hair.  Pop on a deep conditioning treatment and enjoy a day in the sun. The heat will allow the hairs cuticles to open up fully and allow the treatment to penetrate deeper.  Make sure you rinse off before jumping in the pool!

What styles work best on holiday?

Low maintenance styles work best on holiday. Pony tails are the easiest way to keep your hair back and bang on trend at the moment.  From a pony tail, you can change your look by twisting them into low chignons or high top knots, making the whole style very versatile.

What are your top tips for great holiday hair?

Pack – Make sure you pack the essentials for great hair. I would suggest my Holiday Hair range together with a wide tooth comb, some covered bands and a few hair accessories. 

Protect – Protect your hair when possible with a UV protection spray, and don’t forget to spray on partings of your scalp! Have fun – hair should reflect how you are feeling, so go for a more carefree style which doesn’t take hours to perfect.

Accessorise – you will probably be a little more daring on holiday with accessories – you might not wear a big flower tucked behind your ear when doing the weekly shop, but it will look great for a summer night out!

Top Tips for Healthy Hair

Summer is just around the corner and it is time to start thinking about beach bodies and holiday fun. Whilst we all love to have our hair looking hot and fresh for the sunny season many of us neglect the health of our hair when we are dipping in and out of a swimming pool or jumping over the waves in the sea. Love Your Hair has recently documented top tips for maintaining good hair health - To make things easy we thought we would share the best ones with you:

1. A well-balanced diet is the best way to keep your hair healthy and strong. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, nuts, brown rice, beans and pulses,  and you’ll have tresses in top condition in no time.

2. If you lead a busy life and don’t have time to cook, supplement your diet with the hair-building vitamins B6, B12, evening primrose oil, folic acid and a good multivitamin.

3. The sun, even during winter, has drying effects on your hair and can fade colour. Use products that contain sunscreens and cover up in direct sunlight during the summer.

4. Stress and negative emotions can play a part in hair loss, flaky scalp conditions and excess sebum (oil) production. Find time to relax and de-stress for healthy locks.

5. Reduce the impact of heat styling with a good protector spray or balm. Choose a non-greasy product that won’t weigh your hair down.

6. Eliminate smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks from your life – it will make your hair grow stronger and longer.

7. Have regular trims. Any stylist will recommend you visit the salon every six to eight weeks to zap split ends and encourage the hair to feel healthier.

This months newsletter was dedicated to the changes we have recently made to the Real Hair by Clara brand. Some changes were linked to our suppliers, whilst others were linked to our business model, and primarily our consultants.

Real Hair by Clara uses professional hair consultants to sell our products to day to day consumers. To date, we have received great success from our consultants and value their work and efforts.

The Most Copied Celebrity Hairstyle

At Real Hair by Clara we are always on the look out for the latest hair trends fresh from salons and of course from the red carpets. It was recently reported that Cheryl Cole's wavy brunette hair has made it to the number one spot in a study of the most copied celebrity hairstyles in the UK.

In second place for the most requested hairstyle was Holly Willoughby’s glossy honey coloured locks, according to hairdressers Toni & Guy.

In third place came Kelly Brook’s loosely curled hairstyle, with the Duchess of Cambridge’s shiny blow dried curls coming in fourth place.

Jennifer Anistons current layered hairstyle came in fifth place, her famous ‘Rachel hairstyle’ inspired a lot of women.

Cheryl Cole, a model for L'Oreal’ hair products, appears twice in the list, with her red/burgundy locks in sixth place.

Yet the singers locks have induced more than its fair share of disputes.

When Cheryl Cole appeared in the national advertising campaign for L’Oreal Elvive Full Restore 5 shampoo and conditioner, displaying her incredibly shiny hair, she was blamed for misleading fans as it came to light that her locks were achieved through £1,000 worth of hair extensions.

The Advertising Standards Agency in 2009 said they had received 13 complaints that the adverts were misleading, only to be rejected as the disclaimer about Cheryl Cole's hair was “clear and legible” on the advert. Just as controversial was the radical, backcombed hair style that Cheryl sported for the launch of her ill-starred career as a judge on the American X Factor in 2011.

Simon Cowell, who axed Cole from the show just two weeks in over “concerns over her image”, he told her after filming, “the crazy hair goes tomorrow”, according to Cheryl Cole.

The survey also uncovered that a third of women have asked their hairdressers for the same hairstyle and colour as their favourite celeb.

New Treatment for Hair Loss

It has recently been reported by Cosmopolitan UK that L'Oreal have created a new solution to help "reawaken" damaged hair. According to the report approximately 6 million women suffer from hair loss in the UK due to poor diet, hormones and stress. 

The new product, Kérastase Densifique, reawakens dormant hair cells and allows them to grow. According to L'Oreal a 3 month treatment costing £300 will allow sufficient re growth for women who want longer and thicker locks. Thousands have pre ordered this treatment, so lets hope it works!! 

For those looking for a quick fix in the mean time, try our Flex Extend clip in extensions - All extensions have been created with real Remy hair and offer a natural longer, thicker look within minutes. For further information please check out our website: www.realhairbyclara.com 

Hair Extensions FAQs

Here at Real Hair by Clara we naturally receive a lot of questions about hair extensions, whether they are suitable for any hair, whether they will ruin hair and the best type of extensions to use. We thought it would be beneficial to share such questions (and the answers!) on our blog so that all readers can consult are FAQs whenever they like!

1. Do hair extensions damage your hair?

If the hair extensions are professionally applied, and the person who applies the extensions is professionally trained then the application process will not damage your hair. Following application it is up to you to abide by the salon's aftercare advice to ensure both your extensions and your hair are maintained to the highest quality. 

2. Where does the hair come from?

Hair extensions can either be made from real human hair or synthetic hair. Synthetic hair is therefore plastic and although this can be great for creating different colours and looks, there can be a few complications shall we say: The hair can melt when using hair straighteners or hair dryers. Real human hair provides you with the opportunity to create that natural look you have always desired. The hair is ethically sourced from Europe, India, Peru, Brazil and Asia and is provided by willing individuals. The hair is then treated before it is used for extensions. 

3. How long do hair extensions last? 

The durability of hair extensions depends on the supplier and the individual. We believe that here at Real Hair by Clara, the durability of our hair is greater than many of our competitors. Our wefted extensions will last 6 months. Our bulk and pre bonded hair will last 8 months. Finally our Clara couture range will last 12 months. Obviously the bulk, pre bonded and Clara Couture range are only available to salons as the hair needs to be applied by trained professionals. 

Individuals can help their extensions last longer by abiding by the salon aftercare advice. For example, brushing extensions carefully to not pull at the roots, using shampoo and conditioner specifically for extensions, and taking care when drying and straightening the hair. Your extensions will grow down from about 3 months after they have been applied, which often shows the bonds through your hair and ruins the natural look. However, your salon should re use the hair and reapply the extensions, especially with RHBC hair as the durability is a lot longer than 3 months!

These are the 3 main questions people consider when thinking about hair extensions. If you take care of the extensions then there is no reason why you cannot use them to achieve the natural, full look you have always desired!

Summer Trends..

Across the UK we are finally beginning to see some sunshine following, what has seemed, the longest Winter on record. With sunshine comes fresh new summer hair, and at RHBC headquarters we like to ensure we keep you up to date with the latest looks to hit the streets and the salons!

This summer it is clear we are ditching the bohemian low maintenance look and are keeping our locks in tact with GHD straighteners and bobby pins. The Spring/Summer catwalks were fresh with straight hair and low ponytails and buns, where hair out of place was not really an option. The good thing about these styles is that you can go straight from the office to a night out and still be bang on trend!

For those with shorter locks, you can easily achieve this style by using Real Hair by Clara Euro Straight clip in extensions

13 could be deemed as an unlucky number for some, but for Real Hair by Clara this year has only seen success for this high quality, unique hair brand.

Real Hair by Clara, a division of RHBCUK, manufactures beautiful, glossy, natural looking hair extensions, wigs and other products that are easily mistaken for ones own hair.

Slicked Back Style

Looking for a little edgier hairstyle, then you might want to try the slicked back hair trend that is currently one of the most popular trends we’re seeing on celebrities. The style offers you a completely different option to the usual hair staples of ponytails and buns which you may wear every day. The good news is the style can be pulled off regardless of hair length, texture or colour. The style was extremely popular throughout the winter award seasons with big names such as Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Rita Ora all taking to the red carpet wearing the look.

We wouldn’t want the readers of our blog to miss out on this slick style and so we thought we’d prepare a little guide to achieving the perfect slicked back style.

1. First ensure your hair is slightly damp to begin. For best results, towel dry until slightly damp. If your hair is already dry then add some water to dampen it.
2. Using a comb not a brush, comb your hair from the front near your forehead to the back. Section it out to make it easier to remove any annoying knots there may be.
3. Using a wet-look gel apply to the front and sides of your head using the palms of your hands. Running the gel back, be sure to leave the back of your hair gel-free so that it falls back naturally.
4. With the gel now in the hair use your comb to comb the hair from front to back to create the slick lines the style is known for. Finish with a light layer of hairspray to hold in place and you’re done!

For those of you looking for a softer approach to the look then you might want to consider following Leighton Meester (see above). Using a strong hold hairspray in place of a gel replicate the steps from above, teasing the hair on top to create a fuller, volumised textured look as you bring it back.

Colour Trends 2013

Here at Real Hair By Clara we see no reason to stick to your natural hair colour all the time. Sure, there’s no reason your natural hair colour can’t be used to create a great style but now and then a new colour makes for an exciting improvement. Luckily for those of you looking to shake things up: striking, vibrant colours are a very popular trend this year. Check out some of our favourite colour trends popular this season:

Purple

A little unnatural but widely touted as the hottest hair colour of 2013, the always alluring purple! The colour can be worn in varying shades from the deep and bold to the subtle and light, the choice is yours, whatever you feel best suits your personality and style.

Reds

Feisty and fiery are the two words often used to describe redheads but of course a change to red won’t change your personality, unless you want it to! The redhead is an incredibly versatile style, there are so many shades of red from the fashion, to the copper to the fiery. The style works very well for those of you looking to capture the retro as well.

Dip Dyeing

Not necessarily a full blown colour change but certainly a change worthy of note. There are  already numerous celebrities sporting the dip-dye look and it appears to be going from strength to strength as the year progresses. The technique can complement a more natural approach with sun kissed tips or accentuate a vibrant style with even more colour.

Don't forget to check out our range of wigs and extensions, available in a wide selection of colours for you to embrace the hottest trends of the year.

Healthy Hair Tips

We all like to ensure we lead a healthy lifestyle. Eating right, exercising and generally living a healthy lifestyle is something we all like to pursue. A healthy lifestyle will ensure our bodies and minds function well and our hair is no exception.

Our hair is not something that simply exists independent of our bodies, it is connected to us and although it is not technically living once it grows out,  it can still be ‘healthy’. Our hair goes through a lot over time and failing to maintain healthy hair can result in unmanageable, poor quality hair or in extreme cases hair loss.  

Just to get an idea of how much our hair goes through we thought we would share this quote we recently found on the Marie Claire website: “According to a recent Unilever study, hair that is about shoulder length (around 9 inches long) has, after two years, gone through 411 washes, 6,171 brushes, and 10 bleaches, and had approximately 19,122 split ends and 36,206 breaks”. Following on from that  startling fact we thought we’d share with our readers some top hair tips to maintain healthy hair.

• When it comes to healthy hair it’s not all about what is done directly to the hair itself, what you eat can make a big difference to your hair’s health. Certain foods contain minerals and nutrients that help provide a healthier base from which the hair can grow. Omega-3, which is found in salmon and walnuts, is great for hair. Eggs and Spinach are also packed with key minerals for a healthy head.

• Hair dryers, as essential as they are, can be a real problem when maintaining healthy hair. Most hair dryers we use in our homes these days are very powerful and while they have the power to give us brilliant styles they can burn and over dry hair when used incorrectly. Treat damp hair with a heat protection spray before drying and remove the nozzle to diffuse the heat so it isn't so direct.

• Washing your hair every day may seem like a good way to maintain healthy hair, but it is not. Of course you should wash your hair frequently but shampooing every day drys both the hair and the scalp. Ideally you should aim for two to three times a week.

• Match your hair care routine to your hair type. Different people have different hair complexions and these require a different approach suited to the type of hair. Pick a combination of products for your hair be it dry, greasy, fine, curly, coloured, natural etc. There will be a product available for each and every type of hair so research a little and stick to what suits you.
  
  

2013 Ponytail Styles

With mobile company 3’s strutting and dancing Shetland pony becoming an absolute viral sensation across the net we thought we’d use the popularity of the pony to share with you another popular pony themed sensation: the ponytail!

The ponytail is set to become one of this year’s most trendy hairstyles and the good news is there is a great variety of styles for you all to try out. We've listed some of this year’s most popular ponytail styles for you to attempt!

The Side Ponytail.
A great style for someone with naturally curly or wavy hair. The look is a great playful style with a lot of texture that works best slung forward over your shoulder to rest in front. It’s been popular amongst celebs this year too with Rihanna stepping out with one for the launch of her River Island range.

The Low Ponytail.
Set to be a massive feature in the 2013 world of hair fashion the low ponytail is no longer confined to gyms and bathrooms. Very popular during New York Fashion Week the low ponytail is a lower maintenance, more laid back take on the classic ponytail. The ponytail allows for a great deal of creativity with the fringe and top of the style.

Wet Look Ponytail

The wet look was popular last year and it remains so this year. A very simple but sexy look the wet ponytail can be worn on any occasion. Apply a hair serum to the top of the scalp and comb back into a tight secure ponytail. You can wear the ponytail straight back or off to the side, we love how versatile the style is. Here’s Jessie J sporting the look recently in New York. 

Spring Time

Spring has finally arrived... we think. There’s no official date for the arrival of spring but we don’t mind, we’re already seeing a little bit of sun returning to the weeks and we are all set to welcome it with open arms! With the arrival of spring comes warming sunshine, blooming flowers, frolicking lambs and of course, new spring hair styles! So for this week’s blog post we decided to share with our readers some of our most anticipated spring hairstyle trends, try them at home and let us know how you got on!

The Low Slung Bun

A great do for those of you who don’t have enough time to get a complex style together. It’s super easy and can be worn in a variety of styles including centre-parted, slicked back and undone low and loose. This look is for anyone and it’s back with a bang!

Rock and Roll Waves
Taking inspiration from rock and roll nineties groups is the ‘cool-girl’ look of this spring. The trick is to make the style look like it wasn't created but simply left loose. Left loose is unfortunately not how the style is created, it does require a bit of effort but if you’ve got the time it is the perfect do for a night out. 

Messy Braids

Sure to be one of the most popular styles this spring the messy braid is a playful do that can be accomplished with a variety of styles. The braid isn’t polished or glamorous but it’s certainly funky and carefree, so give it a go and be creative.

Low Maintenance
Great news for the laid back amongst you, the low-maintenance style is set to become a big look this spring! The style was seen on the catwalks of many major designers and has never been cooler. As the name suggests, it’s very easy to achieve. A little strand pull here or there or barely that and you’re done. How very lucky.

OSCAR Hair Styles and How-Tos

Last Sunday evening the eyes of the film and fashion worlds were fixed on the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for the 85th Academy Awards. The award ceremony is undoubtedly the biggest in the award season calendar with Hollywood royalty everywhere you look! There were some brilliant hairstyles on display and following on from our BAFTA blog last week we thought we’d use this blog to share some of our favourite hairstyles from Sunday night’s festivities.

Jennifer Lawrence

Winner of The Best Actress award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook Jennifer opted for the safe and elegant up-do. The head turning twisted bun worked so well and is easy to achieve at home too. Here’s a helpful how to.

Adele

Another winning lady, Adele and Paul Epworth won Best Original Score for their song ‘Skyfall’. Not straying from her usual 60’s inspired look she took to the awards sporting her usual bouffant complemented with bouncy curls. Again there’s no reason why you can’t pull this off at home, here’s another helpful guide!

Jennifer Aniston

We couldn't mention hair without mentioning Jennifer Aniston could we? Supposedly Jennifer chose the style to be as comfortable as possible and it showed. Wearing it down and carefree the style creates an effortless effect. To be as comfortable as possible at home why not give the style a try, here’s another how to!

Amy Adams

Up for an award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in The Master Amy Adams chose to sport an up do the night. The actress opted for a classic elegant 1950’s inspired do for the night and it worked perfectly. And finally here’s how to achieve the classic look at home.

London Fashion Week

The annual London Fashion Week came to a close yesterday and what a week it was for us fashion lovers. There was something for everyone with the the latest and greatest in every area of fashion on display. As you would expect, we were on the look out for the newest hairstyles on display so we can share them with you, the readers of our blog! So without further ado here are our favourite hairstyles from London Fashion Week:  

Mix up your ponytail with this textured slightly messy ponytail. We love the effortless look creating the illusion she’s just got up without doing anything. 

Continuing on a trend of slightly weathered, effortless looks was this do from Felder Felder. With a side parting the style is chic but low maintenance, this shouldn't be too hard to do yourself!

For fans of the reserved English country look reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice or the more recent Downtown Abbey was this English country coiffure. On display at the Matthew Williamson show, the hairstyle nailed its brief of “An English girl on her travels”. Sleek and elegant, perfect for those with longer hair. 

We love a bit of daring colour and this modern twist on the classic beehive had us extremely impressed. But this style is not exclusively for a blonde and red tone, we think it would work with a number of colours.

Real Hair By Clara BAFTA Special

Stars of the big screen stepped out to London on Sunday for the annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts Film Awards. Although the night’s focus is toward a celebration of film award ceremonies always provide a great opportunity to witness the latest in fashion and beauty.  Even with the typical rainy British weather doing its best to interfere with the fashion we saw some great work and so we’re declaring this blog a BAFTA Film Awards special. Below we will bring you some of the most intriguing hair styles on display Sunday night.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway, star of the epic musical Les Misérables won the award for Best Supporting Actor on the night and also had great success with her hair. Sporting a grown out crop the star brushed her floppy fringe forwards to create a simple but effective look. 

Jennifer Lawrence

Perhaps predicting the rain that came down on the ceremony Jennifer Lawrence wore her blonde hair slicked back with a wet effect. One of the stars of the night, we’ll no doubt be seeing this look in the future!

Jessica Chastain

The star of the critically acclaimed ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ used her flame red locks to great effect. Dazzling with her old school, long flowing waves.

Marion Cotillard

Bright and beautiful Marion Cotillard wore a coiffed up do as a throwback to the feminine 40’s.

Helen Mirren

Undoubtedly the stand out hairstyle of the night was Dame Helen Mirren’s. It was at the BAFTAs that Helen Mirren chose to unveil her radically different hair style. The star sported a youthful pink bob for the night which we think worked brilliantly, we can’t wait to see what Dame Helen does next, rumour has it she’ll be going green! 

Matching!

How to Colour Match your Hair Extensions

Have you ever bought clip in extensions and realised they didn’t match your hair properly? This is a common problem for people buying clip-in hair extensions. Therefore we thought we would put together a few helpful pointers for colour matching:

Purchasing Hair Extensions

• If you can't match exactly select a colour that is closest to your own but darker.

• If your hair colour is in between hair extension colours then try going for extensions with a blend of colours. As long as one of the colours in the blend matches or is close to your own then the extensions will blend with your own hair.

• When you colour match ensure you do not have product in your own hair as this can alter the appearance of your own hair colour.

• Remember online colour charts should only be used as a guideline as the colour you see on screen will vary to the actual colour of the extensions. If you are unsure about buying hair extensions online, purchase extensions from a company that provides a money back guarantee in the event of your hair not matching your extensions or vice versa.

• The colour of hair extensions will vary with every company, always make sure you use the colour chart provided by them.

• When purchasing online, request a sample colour swab of hair extensions from your chosen company.

In some cases people choose to dye the hair extensions in order to match their colour. The following tips will ensure you don’t ruin your extensions if you ever find yourself in this scenario:

Dying the Hair Extensions

• Determine if your hair extensions are human or synthetic hair. If the extensions are human hair, you will most likely be able to dye them to match your current hair colour.

• Use the same dye on your extensions that you used on your own hair. If your hair was dyed professionally then consult your hairdresser on what colour will best suit.

• Apply the hair colour in thin sections making sure each strand is thoroughly coated.

• Allow hair to process accordingly to the hair colour instructions.

• Rinse, shampoo and condition the hair extensions and leave to dry by pinning the extensions to a wig head.
