Colab™ – Secrets to Perfect Hair in 2016

The New Year has arrived and we’re determined to have our best hair yet in 2016. Yep, this year we’re swapping broken promises and split ends for luscious locks and hair resolutions we’ll actually enjoy keeping. Are you with us? Great, because we’ve got a list of attainable hair goals (secrets to perfect hair, if you will) that are sure to give you your best hair yet!

1. Give your shampoo a break

If you’ve never missed that daily date with your shampoo bottle, you might not be living up to your full hair potential. The more you shampoo, the more you strip away your hair’s natural oils, and the worse your hair can look in the long run. Shampoo-dependent hair can mean easily greasy hair and besides, wouldn’t it be nice to skip a shampoo every once in a while?

Your hair goal: Try to wash your hair no more than every other day. On off days, give your hair a revamp with Colab Sheer and Invisible Dry Shampoo.

2. Embrace your curls

Instead of fighting your curls why not try embracing your natural locks for a change? You just might grow to appreciate (and, dare we say, love) your natural hair style.

Your hair goal: This January, try air drying or diffusing your curls just a few times, using a curling mousse to tame and a spritz of Colab Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo for body. We are pretty sure you’ll be addicted to your gorgeous natural spirals in no time!

3. Have fun with accessories

Hair accessories are basically the shoes and handbags of the hair world, and they can instantly elevate your hairstyle. A sparkly barrette or luxe headband can take your go-to ‘do from drab to fab by adding visual interest and can also serve as one heck of a conversation starter.

Your hair goal: Try at least one new hair accessory this month. Whether you play around with bobb

y pins or try a stunning vintage-inspired bun pin, it’s time to take your accessory game to the next level.

4. Get creative with your styling

It’s so easy to get stuck in a style rut and wear the same look all the time. After all, we’re pretty loyal to our go-to ponytails and our beloved blowouts.

Your hair goal: Vow to try at least one cool new look each month.

5. Quit frying your hair

Most ladies are pretty tight with their hair styling tools, but those heat treating miracle workers can seriously damage your tresses over time if you don’t treat your locks to some much-needed TLC. All that straightening, blow drying and curling can result in fried strands, split ends, dry hair and more. And who wants that?

Your hair goal: Old habits are hard to kick, make a start by leaving your hair to 90% air dry, finishing off with a blast from the hairdryer!

COLAB™ Dry Shampoo is available in five fragrances, each embodying fashion capital chic – LONDON, PARIS, NEW YORK, RIO and TOKYO. From the classic, heritage notes of LONDON to the floral, feminine bouquet of PARIS, there is a head-turning fragrance story to suit every style and aspiration.

Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo

A 100% natural, aerosol-free dry shampoo that volumizes!

Amazon Beauty is pleased to announce the launch of a 100% natural Voluminous Dry Shampoo that
adds volume, cleans and styles hair – all without water! The gluten-free, vegan formula is made with organic ingredients and state of the art natural dry shampoo technology. It is aerosol-free in a recyclable, eco-squeeze dispenser. Age-old plant and mineral based ingredients work together to absorb oil, sweat and dirt that accumulate throughout the day. Hair is left voluminous and refreshed, with a light, clean scent.  And as party season approaches, Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo offers an effortless way to transform you hair from boardroom to banquet.

* The Ingredients

RAHUA VOLUMINOUS DRY SHAMPOO contains a proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients combined with cosmetic mineral clay, cassava starch, antiseptic star anise, and Madagascar vanilla bean.

CASSAVA: This edible root has been a food staple for Amazonian people for thousands of years. Rahua’s organic, food-grade Cassava starch (manioc) has a great capacity for absorbing water, oil, sweat, and debris from the scalp and hair. It also helps build the proper texture and supportive base for long- lasting durable styles.

COSMETIC CLAY: USA-made, finely grated and strictly purified to cleanse, deodorize, volumize, and style. It is the most effective mineral ingredient to absorb oil, sweat, dirt, and humidity from the scalp and hair. This is a notable improvement from most products in the market that resort to the use of detergents, sulfates or abrasive chemicals.

STAR ANISE: This ingredient is an ancient medicinal plant, still used by many cultures around the world, and known for its antiseptic properties and sweet scent. It’s also adored for its flavor and is used in beverages and teas for calming and relaxing nerves and curing common maladies. We use it for its antiseptic properties and soft clean fragrance notes.

* The Packaging

NON-AEROSOL DISPENSING BOTTLE: True to Rahua’s eco-mission, our recyclable, non-aerosol eco-friendly bottle – and unique 100% natural formula — eliminates the need for chemicals ordinarily used to create pressure to dispense an aerosol product. The product is dispensed with only a shake and a hand squeeze of the bottle, so with every application we help reduce our carbon footprint.

* Usage

Twist the upper cap to open the dispenser, then shake and squeeze bottle to spray Rahua’s Voluminous Dry Shampoo on the roots and scalp. Work into hair to clean, lift and fluff.

* Styling Capabilities

Editorial hair stylists and salon professionals need to build a strong foundation into hair for support and durability prior to creating a unique style. Stylists often resort to a wide array of styling products, such as mousse, paste, gel, wax, and texturizer. Rahua’s new Voluminous Dry Shampoo not only cleans the hair, but also provides the perfect foundation for professional styling. It’s easy to use at home or for on-the-go cleansing and styling and is the perfect hair product for your handbag to transition from day to night!

ACHIEVE THESE LOOKS WITH RAHUA VOLUMINOUS DRY SHAMPOO

Big Voluminous Curls: Apply Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo at the roots. Using your hands, work into scalp and hair. Then curl hair in sections, using a curling iron or hot rollers. Once the hair has cooled, flip head over and brush through hair then smooth and shape curls as desired.

Sexy and Tousled: Apply Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo throughout your hair and work into hair with fingers. To achieve a sexy tousled look, do not brush or comb. Hair will remain touchable with soft hold.

Va-va Voom Up Do: Apply Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo to hair in medium sections, then backcomb (or tease) each section to build up volume. When desired fullness has been achieved, design and secure your up-do. Spray Rahua Defining Hair Spray to finish and hold.

Fresh Fringe: Apply Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo to only your bangs or fringe – it’s the perfect way to keep bangs fresh and grease-free.

Beautiful Braids that Stay: Apply a light application allover hair, then brush through hair and proceed to create braided styles. Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo will give just the right texture and grip to hold your favorite braided style throughout the day, while absorbing moisture from humidity. No more frizzy braids!

Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo  is on sale for AED 220 and the Rahua Collection is available in Harvey Nichols, House of Fraser, Yas Island, Posh by Feryal at The Burj al Arab and Address Downtown, Plethora Hair Lab and online at Bashacare.com.  Visit www.rahua.comto discover more.  

Lacklustre locks are no excuse not to hit up that after-work party thanks to Colab

Dry shampoo is a miracle product—no, that’s not an overstatement

Tis’ the season of holiday parties. Now that we’re getting closer and closer to holiday festivities there will be many after-work soirees to attend over the next couple of months. But how does one make the sartorial transition from day to night during this busy time?

Colab Dry Shampoo have kindly come to our rescue to prevent us from looking like “the girl who just got off work and looks like she’s super exhausted” at the party. The key is quite simply in the preparation. Below are some tips and items you should have in your make-up bag/office drawer for your metamorphosis.

Cute and Glamorous Plait

·         Step 1: Part your hair to one side and spray Colab Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo into your hair and massage through with your fingertips.

·         Step 2: Take a section of your hair at the parting and plait down your hairline adding hair as you go.

·         Step 3: Pin your plait to the side with a Kirby grip and then head off to rock the party! Leaving the rest of your hair tousled.

 Messy Ballerina Bun

Step 1: Pumped-up roots give this classic ballerina bun an edge. Spritz with Colab Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo and massage through with your fingertips.

Step 2: Begin by back-combing a section of hair in the front.

Step 3: Once you have some height, smooth it over with a boar-bristle brush. It’s meant to look soft and airy, not textured.

Step 4: Gather hair into a low ponytail, slicking the sides with a wax and tease it before twisting it up and securing it with U-shaped pins. The bun needs to be thick, it needs to balance out the volume in the front.

Fun Fact: No one will confuse ‘office-you’ with ‘party-you’ after you swipe on a creamy dark wine lipstick!
