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.

Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラkasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.

Kids grow up fast enough as it is, in my humble opinion. So, I’ve never been fond of the American pageant ideal of getting ten-year-olds to look like Dolly Parton. But what style for a thirteen-year-old? It's a difficult age for girls, the 13-17 stage, as they mature quickly and...
