From Fashion Week to your Hair

Fashion Weeks around the globe have drawn to a close and we’ve some amazing hair inspiration. Not all of it is suitable if you wear hair extensions and so we’ve reviewed the shows to find the stunning looks to try at home with your Gold Class hair.

The overall theme is healthy hair.   A philosophy close to our heart it’s time to treat your hair to some TLC and we can’t speak highly enough of Philip Kingsley’s Elasticiser to restore moisture and we recommend using this weekly to keep your tresses perfect as we head into winter.    The styles then enhance your hair with simple looks, often undone and natural.  We adored this Dolce & Gabbana ballerina bun with soft wispy hair for red carpet, christmas parties and work.  In fact, anytime!
Partings seem to play a big role this year from the perfect centre parting to the side sweep.  Milan Fashion Week saw the return to the quiff.  With a slight twist Dries van Noten show had 40’s rolls which are easy to replicate with a few bobby pins and hair spray.
Accessories were everywhere from the humble bobby pin, scarves and jewels. Treat yourself to a few more as you will definitely use them right through to summer next year.  We loved this elegant clip from Chanel bringing pigtails to the catwalk.   We also loved Marni’s twisted bunches making sure they are no longer reserved for the school playground.
Harping back to our youth again; crimping is back and if you can’t lay your hands on your old crimping irons try this little cheat – create a fine plait and run over with your flat irons before undoing and repeating.  You don’t have to do your whole head either, as you could add this texture to just a section of your head.  Have fun and try this over the weekend.
If you’ve got more time, flick through the gallery on Vogue to see more of these looks and collate #hairinspiration for your next salon visit.  Find your nearest Gold Class salon here.

Your Summer Haircare Essentials

We all feel better when the sun comes out and whilst we are all good at covering up with sunscreen we tend to forget about our hair a little. So we got the team at Inanch London to tell us their top summer hair care products to keep our Gold Class extensions healthy and luscious in this heat.

Exposure to UV rays can break down the proteins in our hair which leaves it looking dull and weakened. It can also have an effect of the colour of our hair, especially if we have coloured our hair. Whilst Gold Class hair extensions colouring process is colour fast and the hair is healthy; it is still best to protect and care for the hair to look it’s best throughout your wear.

First up is PhytoPlage by Phyto Paris. These orange bottles offer lightweight SPF protection from the sun’s rays and are perfect to enjoy your hair down. If it’s windy, maybe try plaiting your hair loosely to help keep it tidy; but the no fail option is always a stylish hat and make like a celeb.

If you are after that perfect beach tousled waves try the new UNITE’s Beach Day Texturising Spray adding great volume and texture. Great for keeping away the frizz too on these sticky evenings.

Shampoo & Conditioner wise you need to add moisture back into the hair and Philip Kingsley’s range of Moisture Balance Shampoo & Conditioner will set your tresses back on the road to recovery. Top with the renowned Elasticizer and your hair really will be in it’s best condition even in this heat.

The full range available to purchase in salon at Inanch London and a selective range online.

Really it’s all about protection and then nourishment, exactly the same as your skin care routine.
