    Brazilian Keratin Treatment Review - October 2011


    Ingrid,

    I have been having the Brazilian Keratin treatment for nearly one year and my hair has improved in texture and grown. The centre of my hair was always shorter than the rest of my hair and it was also weak. Using the Brazilian Keratin Treatment has strengthened it and it has grown.

    Thank you to all the team at Silk Trends for the improvement to...

How are you treating mum this Mother’s Day?

March 5th, 2013


It’s that time of year again, the time of year where we give thanks to mum for carrying us for 9 months, kissing better scraped knees and most importantly doing our washing! Yes, you’ve guessed correctly, Mother’s Day is around the corner. Now, we all know that Mother’s Day is like Christmas for mums and why shouldn’t it be? After all who else has done all that work while we sat on the sofa and vegged out in front of the telly eating chocolate. The question is… what are you getting mum for Mother’s Day to show your appreciation?

Have you booked the restaurant? We all know a simple pub lunch won’t do. Have you stocked up on daffodils? Sunshine is the key to keeping her in a good mood by all accounts. If your plans aren’t up to scratch then you can bet your bottom dollar that you’ll never hear the last of it and you’ll be doing your own washing and cooking your own dinner.

Now for the important question… What present have you brought mummy dearest? Have you been naughty and left it to the last minute? It’s okay, help is at hand! We have the perfect gift for mum that screams sophistication, oozes class and a guaranteeing that mum will be your best friend and won’t complain about the grass stains on your laundry.

Moroccan Oil Taster Kit

What is it I hear you ask? Well darlings Silk Trends are currently stocking these gorgeous little Moroccan Oil Taster Gift Sets! Each kit contains the award winning mini Intense Hydration Mask, 25ml bottle of Moroccan Oil original formula, 10ml handbag sized bottle of Morrocan Oil original formula and mini Moroccan Oil Moisture Repair shampoo and conditioner, all presented in a gorgeous little gift bag! (Which can be used as a make-up bag after ;-)  ).

Each product has that beautiful Moroccan Oil scent and doesn’t leave the hair feeling lank or heavy after use. As we all know, Moroccan Oil promotes hair growth and these luxuriousness products will help to restore dry and damaged hair giving mum the perfect gift of gorgeous locks. The great thing about Moroccan Oil is that it is a natural product as well as encouraging thick, glossy, fabulous tresses. Here in salon our stylist can’t get enough of these products and we have received rave reviews from our clients who are in love with Moroccan Oil products. If you haven’t tried out the Moroccan Oil range then this is perfect for you as you and at a £33.00 price tag it’s well worth the cash.  So, why not give mum the gift of beautiful hair this Mother’s Day?

Get 10% off these fantastic Moroccan Oil Taster gift sets this week only (4th – 9th March 2013)

Pop into the salon this week to pick up this bargain.

Go on show mum that you’re grateful for all those hours she spent in labour ;-) .

Taming the Director

February 24th, 2013

As you all know here at Silk Trends we love a good success story, and boy have we got one for you guys!

However, this time we’re talking about our very own Creative Director, Ingrid Farrell.  Ingrid’s hair journey began back in November 2011 when our famous sought after Brazilian Keratin Treatment was performed on Ingrid’s hair for the first time.

Ingrid has always had a bit of trouble growing her hair and it has usually been quite thin, but with a bit of TLC and patience growth was achievable. Having tried many different ways to grow her hair in the past, the Silk Trends team decided (after careful consideration) that the only way forward was for Ingrid to have the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. After the treatment was performed back in 2011, Ingrid was able to experiment more with her hair, and decided to have fun with her locks, and bleached and coloured her hair to a gorgeous rich copper colour for the summer, something she had never been able to do before when her hair was either relaxed or just natural. With a little help from the Brazilian Keratin Treatment bleach and colour on afro hair became a safe reality not a dream.

After having had her summer of fun Ingrid decided that it was time to get serious about growing and thickening her hair, and practice what she preaches about taking as good care of her own hair as she does with all our clients. After much consideration she decided to go back to basics… Natural colour and healthy shiny LONG hair was her new goal.

Ingrid decided to put her hair in plaits her hair for several months, to give her hair a break from heat processing. Plaiting is not for everyone and depends on your lifestyle, and needs to be done with care as can sometimes damage and put pressure on your hair, especially around the hairline.  Ingrid would re-do sections of her plaits every couple of months to keep it tidy, and this was a good opportunity to give her hair regular moisturising treatments in between plaiting to help keep the hair hydrated (thirsty hair is a big no, no) and soft. This helped to promote hair growth too. And boy did Ingrid’s hair grow!  To an impressive length to say the least.  Jealousy was very abundant in salon that day.   

Before Ingrid's Brazilain

By the time it came to take out her plaits in February 2013 Ingrid’s hair had gone from chin length and being relatively thin, to thick and shoulder length.  The Silk Trends team then decided it was time for Ingrid to have a new dose of Brazilian Keratin Treatment, to help restore a healthy shine from previous colouring, lock in new colour, and give her smooth, frizz free and luxurious hair.

Despite what many people some think Brazilian Keratin Treatment is NOT a miracle relaxer/straightener, but in fact a sophisticated de-frizzing/smoothing system. Keratin is a substance naturally found in our hair, skin & nails. With Afro hair the inner shaft of the hair is twisted and broken, this is what creates ‘kinky’ hair.  Brazilian Keratin Treatment puts the keratin back into the hair and helps imporve the structure of the hair which promotes, healthier, thicker, glossy and more manageable hair, which is something we all love. Having problems with relaxers? Don’t want bone straight hair all the time? Brazilian Keratin Treament may just be the answer.

Now a proud wearer of frizz free, managable and smooth natural hair, Ingrid has been spreading the word about her hair journey and who are we to stop her?

Want the same results? Well, better book a Brazilian Keratin Treatment appointment with the Silk Trends team :-) .

Silk Trends Product of the month: Mizani D’Tangle Leave-in Conditioner

February 22nd, 2013
Silk Trends Product of the Month (February)

Hey guys it’s Simone here bringing you the latest news in hair dos and don’ts. This month at Silk Trends we’re selected Mizani’s D’Tangle Leave-in Conditioner as Silk Trends Product of the Month which is one that we are absolutely loving in salon.

The stylists here love using this as part of their blowdry routines and clients are appreciating the results also.   So, what separates this leave-in conditioner from others on the market, I hear you ask.

Firstly, we all know Mizani is a much loved and much trusted brand for Afro and Mix Textured hair types, and invest a lot of money and research into the products and ingredients to ensure they meet the extra delicate needs of Afro and mixtured hair types.  Secondly, unlike most consumer hair products, Mizani D’Tangle is lightweight and leaves your hair feeling silky, soft and sumptuous without that dreadful weighed down feeling.

Problems with frizz? This is the product for you! Just spritz on damp hair and blow dry smooth. If your hair is feeling dry and unloved this fabulous product will help treat thirsty hair that’s crying out for some much needed attention.

Our stylists love the diversity of this product because it can be used as a blow dry lotion or as just a simple leave-in milk for hair that feels extra dry and coarse. What’s also great about this product is that it’s herbal infused which helps strengthen hair and puts up that barrier we all need against split ends. Goodness knows we need all the help we can get with the affect this wintery weather is having on our hair.

Here’s Mizani’s advice:

Benefits:

  • * Detangles, smoothes and conditions all hair types for a pleasant combing and detangling experience.
  • * Helps protect against mechanical aggressors and heat-styling stress during blow drying.
  • * Allows greater manageability, gentle detangling and effortless tangle release.
  • * Use as haircutting prep on damp hair
  • * To protect hair from heat and add supple-looking shine, use prior to blow drying or roller setting
  • * Use as a first step to create a foundation for all other styling products

Usage:

  • * Hold bottle 6 -12 inches from hair.
  • * Spray evenly on wet or dry hair.
  • * So versatile, it can also be used as a working spray during heat styling Just mist it on and comb through to detangle, tame and treat.
  • * Can be layered with other MIZANI styling products for a healthy-looking shine.

TIP: D’Tangle can be used to refresh curls on a daily basis.  Lightly mist onto clean damp hair and comb through before blowdrying.

 

After adopting the Mizani range at Silk Trends over 4 years ago, we generally can’t get enough of their products, but we believe the D’Tangle Leave-in Conditioner is by far one of the best Leave-in Conditioner products on the market.

So, my suggestion is pick yours up at Silk Trends today. :D

Mizani D'Tangle
