Now, when it comes to hair we all want those beautiful shiny locks and here at Silk Trends we strive to help you maintain a great style at affordable prices.

I’m going to be reviewing 3 gift ideas this week for the party season. So, if you’re stuck for gift ideas stay tuned!

One will be a ‘Steal’ which is a nice little low price stocking filler. The next will be a ‘Treat’, which will be a bit more luxurious, and then finally the ‘Super Treat’ which will be the most cost effective gift idea in the review.

Now… Let’s get started shall we?

First up we have our ‘Steal’ which is the Mizani Shimmer Reflects Gel RRP £12.85 though you can bag yourself a bargain right now with 25% off this fantastic product

This is hot, hot, hot for this party season and a great little stocking filler. Plus for a limited period get 25% off this fantastic product (so you pay just £9.50 :-)).  While giving medium hold and creating amazing textures, this gel also shimmers in the hair. Us ladies know how to make an entrance and this fabulous product will subtly make your hair shimmer and give that touch of class we all love. Formulated with gold mica minerals, you know that you’re doing no damage to those beautiful tresses.

Next up we have our ‘Treat’, which would be the Mizani H2O Intense Strengthening Night-Time Treatment. RRP £13.55

If dry hair is your mood killer then this product is for you! (Or if you know someone that has dry hair and you want to drop a hint, this is the one!) This luxuriousness formula created by Mizani smells great and leaves the hair noticeably softer and healthier once used.  Just use the treatment 2 to 3 times a week when wrapping your hair before bed and see the results. This is one of our best sellers, and our girls at the salon love this product because it promotes strong, healthy hair, puts shedding at bay and is so easy to use, you simply wrap and sleep! It’s as easy as that!

And finally we have our ‘Super Treat’ which is our very own Silk Trends Gift Vouchers starting from £10 upwards.

If that special lady in your life has always wanted a Brazilian Blowout (Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment) and has never had the spare cash to get it done, if mum deserves a special treat by just getting a treatment and cut, if your best friend has always wanted to start rocking a weave or braids for the new year, or you just want to treat your own good self then why not splash out on some Silk Trends vouchers? What could be better than waking up Christmas morning to a pretty card and the gift of beautiful hair? These vouchers are valid on any service in salon which includes weaving, braiding, treatments, relaxers and more.

So what’s all the fuss about the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. Well I found the background on this service fascinating because as the name states it did in fact originate in Brazil. It is amazing how far afield technology and hair care has come through the years. 

Gone are the days when you had to wait for any type of relaxer or bleach to grow out of your hair, because this Brazilian Keratin Treatment works on any type of hair; afro hair, european hair, mixed race hair, even hair that’s been previously coloured and previously chemically straightened, and is a fast and effective way to keep those silky tresses looking sleek, frizz free and in good condition for longer.

For those of you that don’t know how this hi-tech system works, Brazilian Keratin Treatment works to repair the damage done to your hair due to chemicals, heat and combing.  The Brazilian Keratin treatment provides the hair with the proteins lost, and as a result you get naturally strong and shiny hair as before. The hair is prepared and treated, before it is sealed into the hair’s cuticle with very hot straightening irons, and can last up to four months. This means ladies (and gentlemen) that all unruly curls and frizz are banished to the back of the cupboard, leaving you with beautiful and manageable locks with no fuss. 

Silk Trends has been offering Brazilian Keratin Treatment for over a year and our ladies are great at what they do. I was lucky enough to observe the Brazilian Keratin Treatment being preformed on our very own salon director Ingrid Farrell and I have to say the results are more than impressive. This was the first time I have ever seen the treatment being performed, and I thought it was going to be a long and drawn out process. But rest assured the service only takes between two to four hours, depending on the length and thickness of the hair. Not only did Ingrid get beautiful locks as an end result but she was also able to color her hair as well thanks to the Keratin acting as a protective barrier on the hair. So, our very own Ingrid is living proof that you guys can have what all the celebrities like Nicole Richie and Lindsey Lohan are going nuts over.

It just goes to show how far technology has advanced. Now it doesn’t matter if you have Afro hair, European hair or Mixed Race hair, because now you can have it all!

Here’s some of the proof of what I’m talking about. The before and after on Afro hair, and Mixed Race hair.

 
Here at Silk Trends we are more than aware of the horror stories in the media about the risks of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment, but I can put your mind at ease as Silk Trends uses formaldehyde free products (such as the very popular KeraStraight system), so there’s no risky business here. In short, we would never put anything on your hair that we wouldn’t want on our own.  

We are so confident that you will love this Brazilian Keratin treatment, and believe in this product so much that we are now running the Brazilian Blow Out Competition!
