Dance Review recommends Curlformers

Specialist magazine DANCE REVIEW recommends Curlformers in its latest issue, which was distributed at top London dance exhibition Move It earlier this month!

Editor, Tracey Rushton-Thorpe saw Curlformers being demonstrated at The Clothes Show last year and instantly recognised their appeal to her dancing readers.  Her feature about the latest hair styles says that ‘Curlformers are definitely the way forward’ for everyone looking to make gorgeous curls part of their dance routine.  And we have it on good authority that Tracey was explaining how to use Curlformers at Move It – thank you Tracey!  

Treat yourself to a hair make-over!

We know from talking to lots of mums whose daughters dance in competitions, styling hair for the big day is something they often struggle with.  Vicky Buckley, whose daughter Jade Garstang is a member of Sanderson Dance, which has schools in Burnley, Nelson and Blackburn says: “Everyone is usually so focused on perfecting the performance and getting the costume right that it’s easy to forget about the hair until the last minute.  If the girls want curls, Curlformers make styling the hair so much easier and they don’t damage the hair either.”  She continues:  “They aren’t a quick fix and it takes longer to curl the hair than if you use styling irons but you can apply them and leave them in while you practice and take them out just before the competition starts.  The curls are easy and fun to create and help to ensure a more uniform style if the girls are performing in a group and want to adopt a more professional look.”  Vicky adds: ” They also last longer too!”

We’re attracting considerable interest from dance schools and cheerleading groups – especially in the US and we’d love to hear from any teams looking for sponsorship in the UK so please use the contact section of our website to get in touch!

Curlformers voted best all-rounder for curling hair by leading consumer hair magazine!

Texture

Packed with all the latest product news and information about services and treatments, Texture includes texture trends for the autumn/winter and the latest technology in ‘cool’ professional salon tools, which includes…….you’ve guessed it – a great recommendation for Curlformers!

Professional endorsement in a publication of this standing is invaluable and we were really thrilled to be featured in the supplement. 

On the subject of professional endorsement, we can also tell you that British Hairdresser of the Year and hair makeover expert Andrew Barton of Andrew Barton Salons loves the versatility of Curlformers.  He says: “Creating gorgeous on-trend hair is our philosophy at Andrew Barton salons and Curlformers are a great and easy tool to use to achieve a variety of fashion looks.”  Girls, if you haven’t yet paid a visit to Andrew’s stylish salon in London’s Covent Garden it’s time to treat yourselves – he’s the best!  We love Andrew and we’re hoping to catch up with him again at The Clothes Show in December. (More to come on that subject but start getting excited because it’s a great show for girlie girls everywhere and we’ll be there!). 

Anyway, back to Texture!  This fab supplement also takes an in-depth look at one of the most talked about services in the professional haircare sector right now: the Brazilian keratin treatment or Brazilian blow dry.  As the name implies, these conditioning treatments infuse hair with keratin protein, which repairs and strengthens at the same time as it transforms unruly locks into a cascading mane of sleek, smooth manageable hair.  They’re great for banishing frizz and once you’ve had the treatment (which won’t leave your hair poker straight) you can go away and create those glossy, shiny, frizz-free curls and waves that you’ve always longed for!  Have the treatment, leave to settle for a few days as instructed by your stylist, and then apply Curlformers to freshly washed damp hair and leave to dry naturally or blast with a hairdryer for soft, glossy, gorgeous curls.   Our favourite treatment is La Brasiliana, which contains keratin protein for strength and collagen protein for elasticity and leaves hair looking and feeling totally amazing!  Take a look at these pictures:

They’re not cheap (prices from £150.00 in the UK) but they’re long-lasting, usually from 2-4 months and worth every penny.  Make sure you use the aftercare range that comes with them to ensure you prolong the benefits of your investment.  The La Brasiliana aftercare range includes a sulphate-free shampoo (very important because if you use a shampoo that isn’t sulphate-free you can reverse the benefits of having the treatment!), a conditioner and an all-in-one treatment (called Dieci) which is packed with the same powerful conditioning proteins. 

If you haven’t had the La Brasiliana treatment, there’s nothing to stop you from using the super-nourishing La Brasiliana aftercare range and if you blow dry and straighten with irons, it will give you an idea of how your hair will look and feel  if you do take the plunge!  The full La Brasiliana Keratin smoothing treatment with Collagen is available in selected Regis and Nicky Clarke Salons in the UK.

As the supplement says, the hottest trend is to mix it up and wear texture as fashion – curly today, straight tomorrow but shiny and healthy all the time.  The Texture supplement is a great read and if you haven’t seen it – here’s the link!

Celebrity stylist Andrew Barton loves Curlformers!

Meantime, take a look at the Your Hair recommendation and you’ll notice a picture of style icon Olivia Palermo right next to Curlformers, which can be used to create her sexy style. 

After conditioning, rinse hair and dry off a little with your hairdryer.  Apply Long and Extra Wide Curlformers to the bottom section of your long hair (apply at the root and slide down).  Make sure hair is damp for ease of application and leave to dry for as long as possible.  If you take small sections of hair when you apply your Curlformers you’ll create a tighter wave.  If you take larger sections of hair you’ll end up with a looser wave.  It’s a great time to buy them too – with a whopping 15% discount!  What are you waiting for?!

How to get Olivia Palermo's style

You’ve only to visit expert websites like http://www.naturallycurly.com/ to see that naturally curly women the world over have finally given up the fight with their curls and are looking for all the advice and product tips going to help them create perfect, frizz-free curls and waves.  It’s true – there really is a curling revolution sweeping the globe!     

Curlformers are generating an amazing response from stylists looking for a tool, gadget or accessory (or as one of the magazines described them – a ‘contraption’!) to help them create gorgeous soft spirals, without using damaging heat styling appliances.  They’re especially good on fine, fragile hair and because they can be created without using heat, the curl lasts longer too.  Stylists are using them in-salon to create prom-perfect curls and glossy bridal waves and on that subject, there are a couple of manufacturers trialling perming with them – so watch this space and get ready for a stampede as clients realise they can at last have those longed-for, permanent, loose spiral waves.  It’s also a great opportunity for salons to offer a new and exciting technical service and all the associated revenue benefits that go with it.  We’re launching a professional section on this website to help you maximise these opportunities and it’s coming VERY soon!
