What is the Razor-Cut Bob?

With a feather razor, or very sharp scissors, the hair strands are cut into a bob, framing the face and accentuating the contour. The process is much like the conventional step cut, light and feathery but here a clear line is created whilst keeping its playful look because of the varying lengths.

The razor-cut bob works well with fine to middle-thick hair and with every hair texture, whether straight or curly. Another plus for the razor-cut bob is that this trendy hair cut suits all face shapes, because we can tailor it to you.

Colour for the Trendy Razor-Bob?
Natural shades, ranging from sandy blond to honey brown are ideal for emphasising the lightness of this trendy haircut. Light brown also brings out the structure of razor-cut bobs and shows off the smart haircut to advantage.

How to Style a Razor-Cut Bob
One hair cut, many different looks: The razor-cut bob is easy to maintain and can be done in different hairdos. For a natural look as though you are coming from the beach, let your hair air dry after washing to give it a natural frizzy look. Do you want more volume? Then blow dry the top hair over the head or under a round brush. Hair wax can be used to accentuate a few strands or work the front part separately. Beach waves also work well on a face with a razor-cut bob. For an elegant evening look, use hair gel to make the top sleek with this trendy 2014 style, and use a straightening iron on the length.

Hair We Go Away

 

Hair We Go Away

Hair loss is usually genetic or caused by Androgentic Alopecia, this happens to around 40% of both men and women and can be inherited form either of both parents.

In normal hair growth each hair follicle grows in cycles, the growth phase lasts around 2 or more years, during this phase, the hair is actively growing and lengthening, then the hair goes into a resting phase, lasting up to 3 months with hair feeling like its not growing and old hair falling out. Don't worry as this is normal after this the cycle repeats itself. On a healthy scalp on any given day about a 100 new hairs grow and the same number fall out maintaining an even balance of hair across the scalp.

 

Hair loss in  Alopecia, it is caused by a natural hormone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is present in all healthy men and women; DHT enters the cells of hair follicles, restricting the growth of healthy hair. Over time the follicle cell becomes weak, and will eventually only produce, short, fine hairs and the results start showing with thinning and balding becoming more visible. In women, the hair loss process often occurs around or after menopause, but it can begin in childhood. In men, hair loss can be at any age. This can happen as young as early teens when the hair line begins to recedes and around the crown area like a monk !. There are certain other  medical conditions that can lead to hair loss including thyroid irregularities, medications, infections, iron deficiency and extreme stress.

Here are a few NOGGI tips to look after your hair.

Rule number 1, TAKE care of your hair, stay away from poor quality shampoo as they contain a load of chemicals, they can not only harm your scalp but they can strip your hair of all the good stuff, also you need minimize the use of hot styling tools, i.e., straighteners, hair dryers, these weaken the proteins in your hair. If at all possible you also need to maintain your stress levels under control, meaning get an adequate amount of sleep, exercise regularly, make sure your diet is really healthy with plenty of  iron, protein, vitamin c, omega 3, biotin and zinc, all these vitamins will help keep your hair and body healthy.

Take out the stress out of your wedding day

Since your wedding day is planned to be the best day of your life it is only natural you want to look the best you possibly can.

So amongst all of your planning you need to pencil in an appointment with your hair stylist as choosing the hairstyle that suits you best and the special dress of the day cannot be taken more seriously. Your wedding day hairstyle, along with everything else, has to compliment your make up, dress and accessories.  Many brides to be will have a brand new style for their wedding day and you need to know well in advance as you don't want to switch at the last minute. Before you decide on any hairstyle, make sure you have chosen your dress, head dress or veil, work with your accessories, and of course your bridesmaids, and then you can choose the best style for the big day.  A good idea is to have a trial run ( girls only !) to help make your mind up and show up any flaws with your idea. Once this is all planned you can set your appointment and put a tick against one more box you can forget about.

Getting married abroad can have its own problems, in the Caribbean all brides are given a standard French Pleat so if you want something different take a picture of your rehearsal and take it to show the stylist. The best way is the easy way,  so keep it simple for the humid conditions and make it easier on the stylist there.

 A good tip if you have your hair coloured, make sure you have it topped up 2 weeks before your wedding day making sure all the roots are concealed and the week before its good to have a final trim. Also you are advised not to use any hair products for the first time close to the day.  When prepping your hair it's sometimes best NOT to wash your hair on the day but to leave it unwashed for 24 hours to make it a lot easier to style as your hair has had chance to settle down. 

At Noggis you can have all the team at your disposal for hair for the bride and maids and Sophia can do the make up and nails, all under one roof. Good luck for the future !!
