customers alike had fun wearing a hint of pink and guests enjoyed a fabulous evening of beauty and treats, plus the chance to try out our new brands whilst raising money and awareness for three great cancer related causes. We were overwhelmed with the positive feedback for the new-look larger department from suppliers and guests.”
The market is dominated by the men’s toiletry products, which accounted for over 60% of the market total in 2012, with the remaining share of the market accounted for by sales of men’s fragrances. In the report, it claims that “Demand for these products has not been hit by the recent economic downturn, due to the fact that they are often viewed as staple, everyday items; however; market growth has slowed in recent years, as male consumers trade down for cheaper versions of toiletries, or purchased products on special offer, thereby reducing the market’s value.” Key Note’s report also includes exclusive research which analysed men’s attitudes and habits regarding the purchase and the use of toiletries and fragrances in the UK. The data showed that, in July last year, 76.1% of male respondents in the UK said that, more often than not, they chose and shopped for their own toiletries; while as many as 14.9% of them did not purchase fragrances and toiletry products themselves, but did ask for a particular brand or type to be bought. Meanwhile, 14.6% of men said that they did not buy the products used, nor did they choose the brands or types. Key Note forecasts growth of 1.8% for the men’s toiletries and fragrances market in both 2013 and 2014, before more significant growth is projected for the years that follow.

LGFB’s caring face of beauty...Pam Page, Beauty Consultant Volunteer By the end of 2013, Look Good Feel Better will have welcomed over 12,000 female cancer patients through the doors of their nationwide skincare and make-up workshops The unique LGFB Programme relies on the caring generosity of the member companies and the 1,800 Beauty Consultants who give up their time to volunteer. Without the dedication, loyalty and skills of the LGFB Beauty Pamela Page, LGFB Consultant Beauty Consultant volunteers, Volunteer LGFB’s confidence-boosting service would not be able to function. One of the caring faces of beauty behind LGFB is long serving volunteer Beauty Consultant, Pam Page who, despite facing adversity with her own cancer diagnosis and treatment, is committed to the charity. Pam, a qualified Beauty Consultant for Clinique, has been volunteering for LGFB since the workshops were
introduced at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital in May 1996. Since then, Pam’s Newcastle workshops have touched the lives of thousands of women. In June, Pam was instrumental in moving the sessions to the Maggie’s Centre in Newcastle, which enabled the LGFB workshop sessions to increase to three times a month, allowing more ladies and teenagers to benefit from the free service.
“
I know from my own cancer experience that dealing with the appearance related side-effects of cancer can be a frightening experience for women
Pamela Page, LGFB Volunteer
”
Pam says: “I know from my own cancer experience that dealing with the appearance related side-effects of cancer can be a frightening experience for women. By opening a new location in Newcastle to enable more workshops
was brilliant. Our LGFB sessions are fun, relaxed and we give the ladies the confidence to feel pampered, look great and feel feminine again”. Lisa Curtis, Head of Programme Services at LGFB Head Office, said: “Everyone involved with LGFB would like to recognise Pam and her team of volunteers who are doing such a magnificent job in Newcastle. Pam also goes that extra mile with her fundraising events and activities. None of this would be possible without the tremendous support we receive from all our member companies, plus, the dedication, loyalty and beauty skills of our volunteers. It’s thanks to the generosity and backing of the Industry that we can continue to expand our unique and very effective cancer support Programme.” Sadly, most of us know someone undergoing the rigours of cancer treatment and we are aware of what the side effects can do in terms of loss of self-confidence. Beauty consultants who are interested in becoming volunteers can visit the LGFB website: www.lgfb.co.uk or call 01372 747500. In the meantime, congratulations to everyone involved at Look Good Feel Better and well done Pam from the Esprit team!

Crème The cream of British Hairdressing talks to esprit about hairstyling for Christmas 2013
According to the experts, key styles for Christmas include the inevitable up-dos and ponytails, along with voluminous hair (a cross between 1960s bouffant and ‘80s big hair) and old school glamour (think: Hollywood waves from the 1940s and ‘50s). Esprit spoke to some of this year’s nominees for British Hairdresser of the Year about how to create them. them
Edgy up-dos Nominee, Errol Douglas, suggests a sophisticated up-do with ‘a little edge’ for Christmas events. “The key to a polished finish lies in the ‘scaffolding’ of a blow-dry that locks in moisture while you style,” he says. “Use my Infrared Dryer in a downwards motion to dry the hair in sections, starting with the back and underneath sections. The cold blast feature, used over the whole head, seals the finish ready for the up-do. Once in a bun, positioned loosely equidistant between nape and crown, gentle backcombing at the front gives some lift and is slightly rock-n-roll. This ‘Red Carpet’ look depends on hold, so it’s hairspray all the way – wet and dry.” Fellow nominee, Jamie Stevens, prefers a more disheveled finish. He says, “Topknots look effortlessly cool, a good solution for day-old hair and also a great day-to-evening look as they’re so easy to do. For those with finer hair, a doughnut-shaped bun ring can be used to pad out the hair. The messier and more undone, the better and more effortless it looks, so lots of backcombing is required.”
Full volume hair Big hair was also a key look on the fashion catwalks, both as bouffant 60s styles and 80s curls. As Errol Douglas puts it, “Volume always nods to an occasion and the festive season is the perfect excuse. We’ve seen so much of it on the runways.” preferred Christmas style is big curls. “This is Jamie Stevens’ prefer the ultimate glamorous party hair look for longer hair. Using volumising products at the foundation is important, and roughdrying hair until it’s about 70% dry will save lots of time. Either large heated rollers or large barrel tongs are required to achieve the lustrous, bouncy curls, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. If using heated rollers, leave hair to cool down before taking them out to make the style last twice as long, then finish with hairspray and a touch of shine spray for a polished finish.”

Top tip * The Errol Douglas Infrared Dryer features ionic technology for conditioning benefits, plus infrared light for faster drying and improved local circulation.
Top tip * Bun rings worth recommending include LW Lauren’s Way Big Buns, which form the scaffolding of the oversized buns seen on Hollywood stars such as JLo, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Gwen Stefani and Amanda Seyfried.
Top tip * Sleep-In Rollers are not heated, but the soft sponge curlers provide big curls and volume with less discomfort than conventional rollers. For best results they should be used with styling spray on each hair section before rolling up. Once hair has dried, remove the rollers and then the hair can be brushed or fingercombed into shape.

A twist in the tail
* One way to add a party twist to a low ponytail is to use a jumbo wand on the tail itself. The Cloud Nine Waving Wand has a large non-tapered barrel that’s perfect for big bold curls and deep sultry waves. It also features high-tech controlled heating, ceramic barrel, infra-red technology and negative ions for kinder styling,
Nominee, Mark Leeson, recommends a combination of low ponytail with 1960s bouffant for festive events. He also points out that dramatic sweeping fringes are perfect for drawing attention to the eyes.
Top tip
Old school glamorous waves
* Sebastian Gel Forte is a strong hold gel with a pearlescent formula, so it adds glistening shimmer as well as non-sticky hold.
Akin Konizi, HOB Salons’ International Creative Director and three times British Hairdresser of the Year, suggests a deconstructed version of the classic finger wave. The rippling waves of the red carpet look from the 1940s and ‘50s are very much on-trend and encapsulate festive glamour.
“Simply dry the hair and tong the ends to give it texture, but keep the roots and mid-lengths smooth. Use padding at the crown or backcomb it to give height, then secure the rest of the hair in a ponytail - but leave the fringe area loose.”
“To achieve this, simply comb into shape on wet hair, using Sebastian Gel Forte through the entire length. Then, to create the wave, lightly place flat metal sectioning clips from the roots to the ends at two inch Top tip intervals on wide sections of the hair.

Their Premium Synthetic Clip-in Extension is 16 inches long, but easily cut to fit, while their 26 shades include Baby Vidal Sassoon’s International Creative Director, Mark Pink and Lilac.
Short cuts
Hayes, says that short party hair looks make women appear extra sophisticated and stylish. To glam up a short crop, he recommends using a small amount of wax to create a quiff or swept away style. “For a simpler finish to your crop, slick your hair back behind your ears and secure at the nape of your neck to ensure the wow factor.” As an extra tip before an evening out, “Turn your head upside down and blow-dry hair using the hand dryer in the restroom!” he says. “Loosen up the hair and apply your favourite hairspray to complete this rock-n-roll glamorous finish.”
