HAIRDRESSING: Trending – Finger Waves

A finger wave is a method of setting the hair into waves. This was very popular in the 1920s and early 1930s and again in the late 1990s in North America and Europe.

Finger waves are a type of hairstyle done by forming S-shaped waves evenly using hair gel and fingers or hot tools. What a great way to create a glamourous powerful statement!

Reimagined for modern times, this signature style in hairdressing from the 1920s never disappeared from the red carpet! We have seen many celebrities support this look.

Most HAIRDRESSING stylists have been creating various ways of getting a luminous, soft waved pixie cut that shows beyond doubt how versatile this look is – whether you have short, long, natural, or straight hair, you can rock high-fashion waves even in the comfort of your home!

If it’s a fancy occasion like a costume party, or simply anytime you feel your tresses are too flat, all you need is a curling iron, your best brush, and lots of gel / hair spray for a sleek, glossy finish.

Another option is to use your fingers to press and mould sections of your hair if you want that authentic vintage feel!

HAIRDRESSING allows you to be expressive and learn methods of creating special effects and looks. Finger waves are going to keep on reinventing themselves, with the growing need of finger waves being in such demand it creates a chance for the novice or experienced hairstylist to adapt their skills and keep up with HAIRDRESSING trends in general.

Modern finger waves can be upgraded with pastel or neon colours. Finger waves only along the hairline and natural curly or straight texture in the back are a more popular choice today.

MASSAGE TECHNOLOGY / MASSAGE THERAPY: Hydrotherm Massage

This technology is an effective massage that comprises of two water filled cushions and a lumbar support to facilitate the spinal alignment and extreme comfort while laying facing up.

The full massage is conducted while the client is laying on their back, this done to avoid any discomfort on the face or the neck.

 

How Hydrotherm massage works

Massage generally involves working the soft tissue of the body, to ease day-to-day stresses and muscular tension, and promote relaxation.

During a Hydrotherm treatment the MASSAGE THERAPY / MASSAGE TECHNOLOGY therapists works underneath, around and behind the client, providing a three-dimensional massage experience. It is therefore a very relaxing treatment as the client does not have to turn over during the treatment. The therapists’ hands slide between the thermal cushion filled with water and the clients’ skin; the clients own weight applies the correct pressure to the problematic areas. Leaving the client feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Massage therapists may suffer from tension, painful wrists, and lower back pain as result of the demanding career. This system is used to alleviate pain and protect the therapists’ wrists while delivering a relaxing treatment.

HAIRDRESSING: Trending (Pin Curls and Beehives)

Are you looking for the hottest hair trends in HAIRDRESSING this year? Do you want to know which hairstyles, cuts, and colors are hot right now? If you answered yes, then this is exactly where you need to be.

The crazy part is that pin curls on natural hair is now the latest trend. These pin curls hit the peak in the 1930s and lost its charm over the years. However, in recent years they have once again found their place in the most trending and fashionable hairstyles.

There are two important reasons why pin curls are preferred in hairdressing. The first is most obviously the spectacular style it brings along. And secondly, the advantage of not having to use a hot iron on your hair so damage is minimized.

Most clients are always on the lookout for the latest trends in HAIRDRESSING, hairstylists are bringing back niche hairstyles done for celebrities that are vintage inspired. Pin curls are in fashion, regardless of your hair length or texture, your face shape or skin tone, or even your age.

 

We will let you in on a little secret……

Most of the hairstyles from all the way back to the 50’s are back in fashion! It’s the return of 1960s beehives, but with a modern twist, and working this year’s hottest hair colours (super boosted copper and nude cashmere blonde). Some top experts in the field are expecting volume! It’s not so much about width at the top and the sides, it’s more about thickness, and super luxe hair than being totally retro.”

“Colour in 2022 is going to be about transitioning back to natural tones but leaving a hint of colour in. People are opting for warmer colours across reds, coppers, and honey blondes for the winter months. Copper is a great way to transition from blonde to a deep auburn colour, and just like honey adds a golden, buttery tone to soften bright blondes.’

With all these upcoming trends for 2022, be sure to not miss out and have fun with them, whether you are a novice hairdresser, or you want to be part of the trend.

HAIRDRESSING is a way of being expressive, creative, and providing hairstyles and colour that make your client feel and look beautiful.
