In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - James

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - James

Never work with children or animals, so the old showbiz adage goes. James would be classed as both some days, but generally he is really very cute.

Here’s a great styling tip to control hair that’s growing a little longer. It’s been very handy for our twins James and Jack.

I’m not a fan of loading products on kids’ hair but that’s really just because most products out there are highly chemical and I wouldn’t use them myself either. LifeSaver UV is mostly plant derived, natural and hypoallergenic without any added colours or fragrances. I use it on my hair, and this breakthrough styling treatment is quietly becoming one of our best-selling products.

In Lockdown One we slipped into letting the boys’ hair stay longer and more relaxed. But James’ hair has a curl and can look a bit fluffy. We wanted him to look more Hanoverian prince than feral outcast so used our amazing LifeSaver UV Leave-in Styling Treatment to control it while it grew. It gave his hair more finish and more strength too in a natural way.

Spray LifeSaver UV into the hands, apply to wet hair and comb or brush flat.
We use the No.1 Brush as it detangles easily without tears.

One hour later it’s dried frizz-free and respectable for school

Back home after a hard day at school. Having dashed through the rain, and probably some hedges in a backwards direction, James’ hair is a little curlier, but without the frizz thanks to LifeSaver UV.

For a long time, the ‘Butterfly’ haircut reigned as the most requested style. But in 2025 and the early months of 2026, ‘Bobs’ took over, and we loved seeing Lily Collins, Ji-young Yoo and Kathy Bates embrace different versions of the trend. From French bobs to blunt cuts and box bobs, each of them wore the style beautifully.

Myths & Misunderstandings - Can I over-protein my hair?
Myths & Misunderstandings - Can I over-protein my hair?

June 11, 2026

 

Healthy hair is essentially 97% protein and 3% water. The protein provides the structural strength, the water gives flexibility and shine. Hair cannot be overloaded with protein but it can become so dehydrated with heat styling, colouring, and siliconised hair products that you end up losing the 3% water of fresh root hair, and then what is left of the shrunken hair towards the ends is 100% protein and too porous to hold moisture.
