Monofibre Extensions are ideal for any time of year but now that summer is here, try something different and enjoy the impression it makes. Your clothes will benefit as the hair is really what everyone is most aware of, especially if itâs the right choice. With Monofibre you just canât go wrong.

EXTEND Your Extensions in the Summer Sun

Whether youâre recreating legendary mermaid length locks or have opted for a few texturising extensions this summer, you will want to ensure that your hair extensions look their best throughout the season. 

The sea, sun and chlorine can leave extensions looking dull, tangled and dry so itâs especially important that you apply a moisturising conditioner when washing.  Racoonâs EXTEND Conditioner (£12.50) is a luxurious conditioner with natural conditioning ingredients to detangle and smooth your extensions and own hair, (apply after using EXTEND shampoo).  The intensive moisture treatment leaves the hair soft, shiny, and infused with a light fruity fragrance - perfect for the summer sun!

To continue keeping your extensions moisturised whilst sunbathing, Racoon extension stylists also recommend you apply a leave-in conditioner at least twice a day.  The EXTEND Everyday Conditioner(£9.50) is a leave-in conditioning spray designed to instantly re-condition your hair.  Containing conditioning and styling agents to maintain moisture levels, your hair is left soft, supple, and manageable with a wicked shine.  Simply spritz on to damp or dry hair to prevent tangles and static, then gently brush through using a Racoon Soft Bristle Brush (from £5.50).

If youâre planning to wear extensions, Racoon stylists recommend that holiday extensions be applied at least two weeks before to ensure you are used to caring for them.  Racoon International is the leading extensions company in the UK with over 2000 salons nationwide.  Racoon extensions are a fantastic way to follow fashion without a major commitment.  You can add length, volume, colour and texture and remove them just as easily without damaging your own hair.

Create curls with a little help from Clipso

Itâs time to throw out your rollers and tongs and wave goodbye to straight hair!

Its official, curls are currently the hottest trend in hair fashion this season. Whether you would like to achieve wild, untamed, just got out of bed curls or glamorously seductive ÎSex and the Cityâ curls, Clipso can help with two new revolutionary techniques:

The LâOréal Professional Synchrone ÎSoft Waveâ system and a curling technique using GHD ceramic straightening irons.

Founded by hairdressing luminary Terry Calvert, Clipso are a dynamic, multi award-winning (including three times Eastern Hairdresser of the Year and twice Artistic Team of the Year at the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards) salon group.  They have their finger on the pulse of the latest trends in hair and are a respected industry brand renowned for their winning combination of technical and creative brilliance.

Clipso are offering their clients the LâOréal Professional Synchrone ÎSoft Waveâ system (from £90.00) and are demonstrating how to achieve curls with GHD ceramic straightening irons (cut and finish prices may vary).

The LâOréal Professional Synchrone ÎSoft Waveâ system is an exclusive, revolutionary new treatment to provide curls to rival those seen on the catwalks.  The result is up to 60 days of natural looking waves and movement, giving flat lifeless hair an energy boost.  It is specifically formulated for coloured or highlighted hair and will leave your hair in great condition. There are three different formula strengths, each containing UV filters and Cysteine technology and Clipso also includes pre-treatment and post-treatment care so as not to compromise the condition of your hair.

You will find the results are so gentle that if you want to use your GHD ceramic irons for a sleeker look, you can - the waves will return after one wash! 

If you would prefer a less permanent solution, the Clipso team can show you how to use your GHD ceramic irons to create a variety of curls· it sounds strange, but it really works!   The beauty of this technique is that it is a temporary procedure so once you tire of the look you can simply wash your hair and style as you require. You will find itâs an extremely simple process. 

To create beautiful s-shaped vertical curls, start by taking a one inch section of hair and place your GHD irons vertically about two inches from the root.   Then turn them 180 degrees clockwise and very slowly pull the iron away from the head in one continuous smooth movement.   The hair wraps around the irons and the heat will create the curls.  The result is stunning, luxurious curls!   For softer curls, use the same action but pull more quickly.   Barrel curls are created by placing the GHD irons horizontally at the root of the hair, rotate towards the head 180 degrees and in one smooth movement slowly pull the irons towards the ends of hair.

Book a free consultation at one of the five Clipso salons to find out more about the LâOréal Professional Synchrone ÎSoft Waveâ system and creating curls using the GDH ceramic straightening irons.
