At this time of year with upwards of 80% ambient humidity the real challenge of keeping a smooth, unruffled appearance is put to the test.
No matter how nicely I press my shirt before wearing it I only need to sit in a chair somewhere under air-conditioned, and the back of my shirt will end up looking like I wore it to bed last night.
Same thing happens with hair, even those of us with naturally smooth, problem free hair will find it a little challenging to keep it neat and in place through the sporadic rain showers and steamy weather that is July/August in Tokyo.
If this sounds like you, then I suggest you try a few drops of Moroccan Oil’s “Light” formula, rubbed into the palm of your hands before smoothing across the surface
of your hair, you will soon notice a level of control you wouldn’t believe possible if you have not tried it.
This “Light” formula, as opposed to to Original is extremely user friendly and readily absorbed into the hair. It is literally one of the best anti-humectant products
I have used to date that is not easily seen or leaves an oily finish on the surface of the hair.
Next time your in the salon ask for a little to be used at the finish of your blow-dry and see for yourself just how light and effective this product truly is.
Sometimes the best styling tools are found in a bottle!
Well February into March would easily be the driest time of year for your hair and skin.
The Mantra is Moisture, Moisture, Moisture.
When its cold we can often forget the importance of drinking enough water,
our natural tendency being to gravitate to drinks that warm us.
Most beverages although having a high percentage
of water in their makeup
are not readily absorbed by our bodies as water
after adding anything that flavours ,
those beverages are now treated by our bodies as food and not water
and therefore not used to replenish our daily body fluid needs.
In some cases, especially with coffee and some carbonated drinks,
the effect is diuretic in nature, not only failing to add fluid
but can work to drain away existing body fluids creating a bodily moisture deficit.
Modern science/medicine is only now just beginning to understand that
the underlying cause of many chronic illnesses is a lack of sufficient water intake.
I could use this space to attempt to convince you of the
need to perform regular moisturising treatments on your hair at home
or have elaborate deep moisture treatments carried out in-salon but in all honesty,
although those hair care steps will lead to shinier, softer hair,
I cannot overly stress the importance for all of us to dramatically increase our daily water intake.
Doing so will not only lead us to more beautiful hair & skin, but to
generally better overall health and well being.
If you only read one book this year, make it this one.
This is an inspirational story of bravery and basic human intelligence.

After a couple months backpacking through S.E Asia, Veronica came in to see Gold Stylist Hiro for some fresh highlights and a nice clean cut. Needless to say, she was delighted with the result!
