LOUISE IS HAIR-RAISING AWARENESS FOR KIDS’ CHARITIES
It’s not very often you get a press release that makes you wonder with awe about people who really want to make a difference to someone elses life. I received one today from the lovely Faith Brotherston, who told me that this story wasn’t really about fashion, although it does involve someone with beautiful long hair, and the Birmingham super salon Puro Hair.This is instead an inspirational story of how one young woman’s much admired locks are going to help children suffering from dreadful cancers. It was also a tale of how Fashion-Mommy readers could help the lady in question to raise money to give very poorly children special treats through…

Selfridges Birmingham enjoy Big Beauty Bang

Every beauty counter was offering free gifts with purchases, with key make-up artists also in attendance offering make-overs and beauty guidance. It was lovely to see Cesar Santos performing his cosmetic wizardry for Giorgio Armani, and I…

Bonacure Colour Freeze conditioner – Five reasons to try it.
I was recently asked if I would like to trial a new product from Schwarzkopf Professional. The Bonacure Colour freeze conditioner promised that beautiful, salon-professional hair colour could be maintained for longer by sealing in and protecting the colour. As I’ve recently changed my hair colour and added hghilights, this intrigued me, so I was definitely up for trying this product. And, I have to say, I have been seriously impressed with this choice. Here are five reasons why I would recommend this product. 1. It seems to actually work. Although I can’t say yet whether it will actually help to maintain my colour longer, I can certainly say that…
