In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Jack 2023

Would you let your twin brother cut your hair?

How do you persuade a child to have their haircut? “Just a little off…., you can keep the front long…., it won’t take long…” I asked over a period of months. “No, no, no.” Came the answers from Jack.

I needed more persuasive arguments. “What if James has a go at cutting your hair and we’ll film it and make you a Tik-Tok star!

Such is the power of social media that it flicked a switch in Jack. Of course, I then had to backtrack about being a star. “We’ll do a little video and have some fun”, I said.

What started as our relaxed approach to longer hair in lockdown ended up being a battle getting them to cut their hair at all. They competed in class for the longest fringe. I wouldn’t mind but they put no effort into looking after their hair in the morning, so set ‘grunge-revival’ fashions at school. Not good.

Super concentration from James now

Jack has beautiful hair and it works well to keep it heavy but with long layers

Of course, I did help James rather a lot with his first haircut, and he really enjoyed chopping hair off. Jack’s hair is very wavy around the front and more so on one side. LifeSaver UV combed onto damp hair in the morning sorts that out for the day, turning fluffy curls into soft beachy waves.

“I’m a difficult client!” - Jack

We washed with Cashmere Protein UV Protective Shampoo and Cashmere Protein UV Protective ConditionerA little LifeSaver UV calms the wayward curls around the face and treats the hair at the same time. Jack uses No.1 Brush to stay groomed when forced to.

Michael planted more herbs on our roof garden and the basil went wild. Harvesting for the salon Deli and giving to friends still left a verdant surplus. Hence my recipe this week which made a small dent in supplies.

Flat, straight and heavy. Sharon’s hair had been cut so short at the back and with no proper layering. The exaggerated long front then conspired to drag the whole look down. The very opposite of uplifting and energising which is what hair should do for the wearer...

It’s been a long time since the first Brazilian Blowdry products were being used. The few people that supplied these unbranded products here in the late 1990s worked in the shadows like drug dealers distributing hooch from the cottage industry of stills in the jungle and favelas.
