In anticipation of our re-opening on 12th April, we are proud to be participating in a new nationwide campaign that gives thanks to NHS nurses and celebrates the Great British Hair industry. As part of the #Hair4Heroes campaign, we’ll be pledging one hour of every stylist’s time per week to giving NHS nurses a free cut and blow dry as a heartfelt thank you for their work during their pandemic. We’ll then nominate three further salons to do the same via our Instagram account, in the hope that the campaign will spread to all four corners of the UK, giving nurses the chance to visit their local salon nationwide. Keep track of our #Hair4Heroes journey on Instagram @lauraleighhairbeauty as the campaign continues. NHS nurses can contact us by email info@lauraleighhairdressing.co.uk to book their free cut and blow dry or call the front of house team on 01242 530598 for more information.

Currently, a major hair concern among women is not one of the usual suspects like dryness or damage. It’s hair-fall. When women search for solutions, they see medical products, mostly dedicated to men first. Kérastase is now addressing the issue head on with a new range of products designed to help combat dual causes of hair-fall.
Why do women experience hair fall?
Either strands are lost from the root as part of the hair cycling process, or can break off mid-shaft, due to external stressors and styling habits. Both processes reduce the number of strands and devitalise the hair overall.
Natural Fall – Each individual hair follicle has its own natural growth cycle. At the end of this cycle the bulb becomes progressively detached from the scalp and hair falls out in the shower, on your brush or on your clothes.
Fall from breakage – External factors and daily stressors such as heat-styling and environmental pollution can cause the fibre to weaken. Hair breaks off in the middle, creating thinner, weaker hair overall. With breakage, the hair is still growing from the bulb, but daily exposure to external aggressors can trigger inflammation at the follicle as well.
What triggers hair fall?
Styling tools – Heat styling causes dryness and weakens the hair shaft, leading to an increased rate of breakage that causes hair to fall and feel thin.
Pollution & weather – External seasonal and environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays can affect hair-fall.
Stress – Studies have shown a direct link between stress and some types of hair-fall – the good news is that this can often be reversible.
Hormonal changes – Hormonal changes can lead to an altered hair renewal process.
Diet – A restrictive diet or overload of certain vitamins and supplements in extreme cases has been linked to hair-fall.
Genesis is the first range by Kérastase to treat both kinds of hair-fall – at the root and from fiber breakage, for all women, in all lifestyles, with any degree of hair fall. All women go through periods in life where they experience increased levels of hair-fall. Take action and give your hair the care it needs with Genesis. Genesis addresses two of the causes of hair-fall; Hair falling due to stress on the hair fibre & Hair falling from the mid-lengths due to breakage.

Heading into 2020 with a fresh new haircut. What better way to start a new year than to chop off some dead weight
As we know hair trends are constantly changing but the latest hair trends are definitely getting shorter. Perfect for starting fresh. If you prefer to keep your hair longer you might find you want to add a fringe- AKA ‘Shaggy bangs’ an easy way to instantly update your look with minimum commitment. If you are up for a new look you might find inspiration in a modelesque pixie, or a timeless, jaw-grazing bob that looks good on everyone.
The Jawline Bob
The bob length for 2020 will stop exactly at the jawline. The look should be crisp and clean. The blunt bob should cut like a razor, right at the jaw. Avoid any severe layering and the shape will sharply highlight your neckline and jaw like a strong and symmetrical frame around the face. Adding a touch of texture to ends saves a blunt bob from looking harsh.
The cool thing about a short bob, cut in a blunt manner, is that the styling opportunities are endless. Give it bouncy volume, waves or a sleek, shiny finish, part it down the middle or toss it to one side.
The Angled Bob
If your hair texture is curly or wavy, and you want a more lived-in shape to match, talk to your stylist about a slight A line slant, gradually building more length and weight at the front to balance the shape.
The Gamine Pixie
We’re eagerly awaiting the pixie’s comeback in the new year. Style the gamine pixie. A play on the British term for boy-ish which we predict is on its way to becoming a 2020 trend.
Shaggy Bangs
The ’70s-inspired shaggy bang is back for 2020,
It’s all about the fresh, textured movement of shaggy bangs. It’s a cool add-on to a cut of any length. If you have long hair — and don’t want to go short — pull 2020 style inspiration from Selena Gomez who recently stepped out in London with a long, gradually-layered cut, complete with a long fringe.
