The Wand

For those beautiful natural waves, make sure Santa knows about the Corioliss Wand! (R850) It's incredibly lightweight and so easy to use! A curling iron can turn a bad hair day into an amazing hair day!

Rumour has it Kim Kardashian uses The Wand religiously when wanting to pull off that natural looking waves. And we bet that if Kim is using it, chances are Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall are using it too!

Christmas Wish List Idea's

With Christmas only two weeks away, the team have highlighted a few items from the salon that they think everyone should add to their Christmas Wish List!

THE STOCKING FILLER…..

Wynand LOVES the Wet Brush and says that this has to be the BEST invention for hair that has arrived at the salon this year. R140 - it's definitely an affordable item and something to put in someone else's stocking or to add to yours!

THE BIG SPOIL…..

Liza thinks that the Corioliss K2 Professional Vapour Infusion Iron would be the best spoil for Christmas! It smoothes, seals and treats your hair! (R2 300)

THE PERFECT PRODUCT FOR EVERYONE…...

As you know, The Davines Oi / Oil is a must-have product and we got so excited when Davines extended the Oi range by adding a shampoo, conditioner and treatment milk spray to it! Monica says that every stocking should have the new Oi Shampoo inside it. It's simply amazing. The product nourishes and gives your hair body at the same time which is a very rare find in haircare products! (R230)

THE REAL DEAL HAIRCARE TREAT….

Julia can't stop raving about the Davines Alchemic Conditioner. This beautiful product enhances your hair colour and leaves your hair looking healthy and shiny. It's a winner for ladies with coloured hair looking to enhance or neutralise their colour. (R279)

THE PERFECT PRESENT FOR FLAT IRON JUNKIES….. 

Simone's favourite item that she thinks all the ladies should wish to have this Christmas is the Davines Shimmering Mist. It is the perfect combination when flat ironing your hair and gives your hair that gorgeous glow. It's a spray that gives you that velvety texture, keeps your hair light and gives you shine. (R240)

SYNERGY TIP

STRAIGHT TALK...If you straighten your hair, start with an anti-frizz serum to create a moisture barrier and add a heat protectant to prevent your strands from being damaged while styling.

The reason WHY...

There's no hiding it, we love the Davines hair care range and are so exciting to be one of the proud stockists of this amazing range at our hair salon. If you aren't familiar with the range or are wondering WHY do the team at SYNERGY keep raving about this range, here are a few reasons why.....

One, they are Italian! Have you seen the Italians hair? Enough said! :)

Eco-friendly is a much used term, but for Davines it is at the heart of the brand. From the very beginning of their production process to the finished product and packaging, Davines are committed to caring for their (and our) clients and the planet! They use ultra-thin, fully recyclable plastic containers. (As little raw material as possible!)

Three, their product portfolio covers everything from colour and well-being products that we use in the salon to products that you can use at home. Every product is made with naturally derived and sustainable ingredients whenever possible - these attributes enhance the performance of each of its ranges which respond to specific haircare needs.

"Your hair is your best accessory!"

The Oi Essential Haircare line!

The OI Essential Haircare line has now been enhanced by three new products in line with the bestselling OI/OIL which we are obviously thrilled about.

A few months ago we spoke out OI/Oil which you can read about here: http://bit.ly/16GXpPx And the wonderful Crest Magazine featured this in their July / August issue. The OI/Oil is becoming a product we can't live without and we are sure the same will apply with the three new additions to the range. 

Oi Shampoo

The Oi Shampoo gives your hair extraordinary softness, shine and body. It is an ideal treatment before applying the oi all in one milk and oi/oil.

How to use: Apply evenly to your hair and scalp and massage gently. Rinse and repeat the application if necessary. Rinse off thoroughly.

Roucou oil is the natural active ingredient in this wonder product. It prevents the hair from aging and has a strong anti-oxidant action.

Oi Conditioner

This conditioner not only gives your hair that extra softness and shine but it accelerates the drying process and protects the structures of the hair from damage caused by the heat of blow dryers and straighteners or by mechanical stress. It is ideal for all kinds of hair! We absolutely love this product!

How to use: Apply the right amount of product evenly to shampooed and towel dried hair, working section by section. Leave in for 2-3 minutes, then comb and rinse off thoroughly.

Apricot butter and Roucou Oil are the natural active ingredients in the Oi Conditioner. The Apricot butter hydrates and sooths the hair while the Roucou Oil prevents the hair from again with a strong anti-oxidant action.

Oi / All in One Milk

The multi-beauty treatment product! Ideal for all kinds of hair, this rich and nourishing formulation performs in an excellent manner to many functions!

Benefits:

• adds shine

• adds softness and silkiness

• has an excellent detangling power

• facilitates combing of dry and wet hair

• controls frizz

• has an exceptional conditioning effect

• gives body without weighing hair down

• moisturizes hair

• facilitates blow drying

• heat protection

• provides a longer-lasting hairstyle

How to use: After using oi/shampoo, towel dry and spray oi/all in one milk 10-15 times on roots and ends. Do not rinse and continue with styling. Depending on the type of hair, increase or decrease the number of sprays. In case of difficult hair, you can apply oi/ all in one milk after oi/conditioner. For particularly dehydrated hair, apply oi/all in one milk to dry hair as a moisturizing finish, spraying the product directly on the palm of the hand and distributing evenly on the lengths and ends.

Provitamin B5 and Roucou Oil are the natural active ingredients to the Oi / All in one milk. The Provitamin B5 has a deep moisturising action.

All of these products are available at SYNERGY. Give us a shout if you have any questions or call us to order any of the above. You won't be sorry, you'll become obsessed! :)

He says that the look is very Cindy Crawford-esque and the colour makes that more amazing. And Kim's colourist, George Papanikolas of the Andy LeCompte salon, said Kim's wanted to go blonde "for a long time." "I've been colouring her hair for a year," said George, "and she's wanted to go blonder since the day we met." As for what Kanye West thinks of his brunette love transforming her tresses? Apparently he LOVES it and is a big cheerleader of her new blonde locks! As they say, Blondes do have more fun! What do you think of Kim's new colour?
