Sarah Jane Dias
shares her hair &
beauty secrets!

12. February 201516
Dear Readers,
Like all lasting affairs, it takes patience and
communication to know what makes your
hair tick. Particularly this month, with its
romantic themes, you and your hair need to
work as a team. Whether it’s a first date, a
laidback lunch with your long-time love or
dinner with your spouse, getting your hair
right will determine if your look trumps or
slumps. There really is no confidence booster
like a good hair day. Our Blow it Away article
on page 56 will simplify the basics of
blow-drying for you while the Valentine Do It
Yourself feature and Cover Story on pages 36 and 41 respectively, will help you
be Valentine-ready any day, any time.
I read about an excavation in Egypt a few years ago. They unearthed the
queen’s remains; with her jewels and priceless objets d’ art. Her frame was all
but dust, all that stayed intact was a mane of coppery, red hair; so glossy and
silky as if her handmaiden had just brushed it moments ago. That is the
defining quality of hair; it outlives and outdoes everything else. Silky, healthy
hair styled well, will let you hold your head higher and walk with confidence.
Former Miss India Sarah Jane Dias agrees with us and shares her hair
philosophy on page 53. Complement your perfect hairstyle with the three
must-have make-up looks in our Make-My-Valentine feature on page 99. If
your skin needs a glowing boost, our experiential feature on page 102 on the
BioSurface Peel may help you, as will our Raving Reviews of the month’s best
beauty buys on page 76. For men, we have an exciting feature on Valentine
styling on page 47, a guide to corporate grooming on page 115 and a
must-read skincare feature on page 104 to help you nail every impression you
make.
And you know you can count on our regular features to dish the latest and
best when it comes to news, events, reviews and monthly forecasts!
Happy reading; remember forget to follow us on Twitter @HAIRMagIndia

HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAIR!
With every passing year, you guys are only getting
better! I absolutely loved the Hairesolutions 2015
article and I plan to live by each one of those
resolutions this year. I hope to flaunt waist-long
hair by the end of the year, which is why Cut and

Luxuriously
yours
It’s time to bid adieu to our habits
of 2014 and enter the New Year
with lustrous, strong hair by
providing them with an exclusive
and luxurious hair spa treatment
says TANVI DESHMUKH
With ever-increasing levels of
dust, pollution and stress, it is
needless to say that our hair
requires special conditioning and
pampering to keep it silky and
blooming i.e. it needs a hair spa.
haircare
A
deep conditioning treatment
that is directed towards the
roots of your hair, hair spa is
a series of treatments that is
designed to provide intense
nourishment and care. A hair spa typically
solves problems related to hair loss, hair
damage, dry hair, split ends, etc.—every
problem treated uniquely, as each one
calls for a different kind of treatment to
rejuvenate your hair from within.
WHAT MAKES FOR A GREAT
HAIR SPA?
A typical hair spa comprises four key
steps—an oil massage of the scalp,
shampooing, a nourishing hair mask
and finally, deep conditioning. The
treatment starts with a soothing oil
massage for at least 5-10 minutes
that helps in eliminating impurities
from the pores and treats your roots
to strengthen your hair. After the
massage, your hair is shampooed
to address your core problem of
dandruff, hair fall or hair damage. The
hair mask is then applied to every
strand to help revive its texture and
lost moisture, enhancing the overall
condition of your hair.
WHY YOU NEED IT?
With ever-increasing levels of dust,
pollution and stress, it is needless
to say that our hair requires special
conditioning and pampering to
keep it silky and blooming. Here
are a few reasons why a lady with
a lovely mane needs a hair spa at
regular intervals:
- The oil massage relaxes your
hair, thus improving blood
circulation and hair growth,
resulting in healthy and
nourished hair.
- The massage enriches the scalp
while adding moisture and
closing the cuticles.
- The spa treatment also protects
your hair from heat every time
you step out as the hair masks
comprise UV filters.
- The shampoo massage helps
you get rid of problems relating
to hair loss, dryness, split ends
and hair damage.
- The shampoo also helps to
treat problems like dryness
and damage that may be
caused due to exposure to
harsh chemicals while hair
straightening, rebonding,
smoothening, colouring, etc.
- The conditioner also helps to
add volume and bounce to
your hair when it looks thin and
damaged.
- Hair spas are also designed for
normalising oil secretions to
cater to the requirements of oily
or dry scalp.

MEETTHEEXPERT:NATASHANASTA
Natasha comes armed with tremendous experience and has worked with
various movie and TV celebrities. A Senior Hairstylist at Warren Tricomi,
Natasha is not just competent when it comes to hairstyles and cuts, but also in
the make-up department.
makeovers
Who?
Michelle D’costa
16,Student
The reason...
“I wanted to shake
things up a little,don on
a colourful personality.”
Casual elegance
Natasha opts for a softly curled pony
for Michelle’s evening look. Her hair is
lightly tousled section-wise, to add a
certain amount of bounce and volume
to it. The curls are then pinned to the
side for a high-low pony that has an
elegantly tousled texture. The coral lips
set off this look brilliantly!
Corporate glam
For Michelle, with college
presentations being of high
priority, we go for a look that
can be easily carried forward
to a boardroom. Michelle’s
hair is first blow-dried to give
it a smooth, well-finished
appearance. Natasha then
creates a small pouf that lets
the side fringe frame her
face beautifully. This means
that focus is drawn upon her
luscious red locks that fall
sleek and smooth down
her shoulders. Simple, stylish
and quick!
Make-up
The day look focuses on keeping it
subtle and stylish for a perky, corporate
feel. The eyes have been lined precisely
to bring out their natural colour,
teamed with pretty pink, glossy lips.
RESTYLEME
joins hands with Warren Tricomi Salon,
Cadell Road, to give two readers refreshing new
looks for the New Year.
Michelle’s fiery, lightly tousledtresses are just right for arelaxed evening do.

28. Dressing up does not exclude your hair. SHEFALI SAMDRIA presents quirky hairstyle
ideas shared by Mark Hampton to make ’em all fall in love with your hair.
Its twists and curls may look pro-
level complicated, but this intricate
updo is surprisingly simple to
create. This style puts a formal
spin on the basic bun without
compromising its simple elegance.
Hair is swept completely away
from the face, so it’s perfect for an
outdoor occasion.
Mark Hampton’s Hair Tip: Secure
every one of the small hair
elements with tiny bobby pins and
then drape the next element over
the bobby pin. This is a nifty way
of hiding the pins. Finish this off
with a spray of a casual sea salt
texturising spray.
Accessorise: Natural flowers
like spray roses, tulips, daisies,
carnations and alstroemerias.
THE TWISTED UPDO
When you are up for
experimenting with your
wardrobe this month,
why should your hair
be left behind? Mark
Hampton – Global hair
ambassador for TONI&GUY

us a few tips on styling
your look to perfection and
adding a bit of bling for that
showstopping look!

This fresh, easy style is as modern as
it is timeless: low-swept curls recall a
classic chignon, while an asymmetrical
silhouette lends a flirty vibe. “It’s young
and coquettish and the sleek and well-
organised looking chignon is the ideal
hairstyle for festive events of any kind.”
Mark Hampton’s Hair Tip: This chignon
is low at the neckline and is beautiful
if your hair is coloured with a rich
red lustre. A moisturising shine spray
will add that glitz to add even more
glamour and interest to the look.
Accessorise: The silver barrette.
THE FAUX BOB
THE SLEEK CHIGNON – BOWS
First spotted on the catwalks, faux bobs are
in vogue everywhere. Women with long hair,
especially, love this look, as it allows them to
create the illusion of cutting their hair without
actually going for the chop. The faux bob
works with long hair that is tied at the base
of the neck. The hair is tied very discreetly
and folded up onto itself to create the classic
bob-shape.
Mark Hampton’s Hair Tip: If your hair is long
enough, you can also create a faux bob by
first gathering your hair in a ponytail and then
sliding the scrunchy down to the hair ends.
Apply a dab of Glamour serum drops by
TONI&GUY HairMeetWardrobe to help you
fold the hair inward and secure the ponytail
end with hidden bobby pins.
Accessorise: The 1920s-inspired Wavelength
Rhinestone Headband.

CHANGING YOUR HAIR COLOUR IS ALL GOOD UNTIL
IT GOES WRONG—AND THEN YOU SEEM TO FACE A
MINEFIELD OF PROBLEMS! WHAT ARE THE TOP
COLOUR COMPLAINTS?
Over-colouring at home is a problem as it creates a build-
up of colour, meaning the hair has gone too dark. Other
complaints arise from not being consistent with a hairdresser,
leading to a mix of colours building up in the tresses, or the
client can be unhappy that their colour is plain or boring—
which is so simple to rectify.
A CLIENT COLOUR MISMATCH CAN REALLY KNOCK SELF-
CONFIDENCE, SO IT’S NO WONDER THAT SPEED IS AT
THE TOP OF OUR PRIORITY LIST. WHAT STEPS CAN WE
TAKE TO GET OUT OF OUR DYEING DILEMMA?
If a client is unhappy, we will always go out of our way to
do our best to rectify the issue. Nine out of ten times it will
simply be a toner issue. Firstly, I would suggest something
like the brighter lights option on the Lisa Shepherd Colour
Bar menu. This can create a sprinkling of glitter effect on
the hair, which is a soft and natural way to bring any colour
to life. I also love the ‘micro lights’ method, which is a simple
freehand technique using colour on the hair to create natural
shine/tone lines.
WHAT IF A CLIENT HAS COLOURED THEIR HAIR AT
HOME AND IS UNHAPPY WITH THE RESULT? IS THERE
ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION?
I occasionally take phone calls from people who have had
FeatureSarahCohenImagesiStockimagesandPRShots
Good dye gone badIt takes knowledge and care to get the colour you crave and who
better to ask for advice than precision colour artist Lisa Shepherd,
who is not only the MD of award-winning Lisa Shepherd salons,
but was also the first colourist to win the British Hairdresser of the
Year! Get over your colour mishaps in style (and safe hands) with
our guide to colour correction…
colour disasters at home and are calling to ask us for
help, as we are a colour specialist salon. I will always do my
best to give them a consultation over the phone, but as
you can imagine, this is very hard without seeing the hair.
I think the most important thing is for the person to refrain
from putting any more dye or peroxide on their hair, as this
could increase the damage and make it harder for us
to remove.
MANY READERS ASSOCIATE COLOUR CORRECTION
WITH SIMPLY RECTIFYING PROBLEMS. CAN YOU THINK
OF ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE A CLIENT MIGHT NEED
A COLOUR REMOVAL SERVICE?
Colour removals are not always used to correct problems or
issues. Firstly, if a colour has built-up over a number of years
and the client is feeling that their hair is gradually getting
darker, we can remove the depth and take them back to their
original hue. A popular time that many women want to start
removing their colour is when they are beginning to go grey
and want it to come through in a more natural and softer
way than just a harsh root! We then have to start the removal
of the deep colours, if any, as part of the process to disguise
the white hair coming through.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT BIG COLOUR CHANGES ARE
MADE IN-SALON?
Whether you’re going from light to dark or brown to blonde,
there are always a number of things that could potentially
go wrong. As hairdressers, we know that we have to build
a base to any colour when correcting. The use of reds, for
example, can create warmth while semi-colours create shine.
This also applies for clients who are looking to go from dark
to light—they need to remember that this can’t just happen
by buying a blonde colour box from a shop. The dark colour
needs to be removed, and this removal process can throw
out lots of unwanted tones which would need in-salon
colours to correct, whilst at the same time keeping in mind
the condition, feel and quality of the hair.
HOW CAN CLIENTS ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MORE
LIKELY TO LEAVE THE SALON WITH A COLOUR
THEY LOVE?
Consultation, consultation, consultation! These are usually
free of charge and you can get to know your stylist and
make sure you are comfortable with them! Explain in as
much detail as you can the history of your hair and your
target shade. Sometimes, pictures are a great way of
explaining a colour, too. I am always very honest with people
in my consultations. For example, if someone has black
hair and has been dyeing it for eight years but now wants
to go for a pastel pink colour, this isn’t going to happen
straightaway—it’s a working process. I always build a plan
with my clients, whether this lasts for three or six months; I
feel that at least by being honest, my client will know what to
expect from their first colour visit and leave the salon happy
in the knowledge that what we have achieved is what we
had previously discussed and what they expected.

Q
DR. APOORVA SHAH and
DR. SONAL SHAH, India’s
first certified trichologists,
give you all the haircare
advice you need.
QDoes wearing extensions lead to
excessive hair loss or is it just a
myth? What can I do to prevent this if
I do get them?
~ Shanaya
A Hair extensions are used to give
you dense, bouncy hair. It is attached
to your existing hair with the help of clips,
which won’t lead to hair loss. However, if
this is not done properly, it may lead to
hair breakage.
QEven though I go for a trim every
three months, my hair just doesn’t
grow in the right shape and is of
irregular length throughout! What can
be the reason for this and what can I do
to make my hair grow normally?
~ Swapna
A Hair growth depends on what
we eat. Poor nutrition, unhygienic
conditions of the scalp and lack of
oiling can be few of the reasons for
lack of hair growth. Get timely attention
from your trichologist to know whether
you require any supplements or not.
QI have had limp hair all my
life. No matter what shampoo
or conditioner I use, there is no
change in the appearance and
texture of my hair. Could you
suggest some kind of treatment
for it? Also, what styles will help
hide the limpness?
~ Sankesha
A Make use of hair extensions
that will lend the volume and
density your hair needs for a fuller
appearance. Use a hair wrapping
conditioner thrice a week to improve
your hair’s texture.
QI have just turned 25 years old
and I am ashamed that I already
have white hair. I know salt-and-
pepper hair can be really hot, but I
want my jet black hair back! What do
I do? Please help!
~ Ramona
A Include iron-rich food like dates
and figs in your diet on a daily basis.
Start drinking water which is stored
in a copper vessel. Have milk and milk
products and a protein-rich diet to
give proper nourishment to your hair.
Consult your trichologist to know the
reason for premature greying of hair
and take the supplements to further
stop the greying.
Email us and get some advice from our experts.

Do It Yourself
this Valentine!SHEFALI SAMDRIA presents three easy
looks by SP Master Alchemist Swati
Gupta to try this month for every
occasion and time of the day!
S
ystems Professionals
Master Alchemist
Swati Gupta is the best
ambassador for her
brand and salon. Her
mane of cascading,
shiny hair that is naturally straight
and silky can make any girl jealous!
In our previous issue Swati shared
her philosophy of keeping it simple
where hair was concerned. This time
however, SP invited us to watch as
Swati created and demonstrated
three DIY hairstyles that our readers
can create easily with minimum tools
and products.
So, be it the look for a casual brunch,
romantic night-out or the formal
office look, I find these looks a must-
try this month!
Steps:
1. Part your hair side-ways or centre.
2. Take a small segment of hair from the hairline, twist and twirl it inwards.
3. Holding the previous segment, take some more hair and twirling it,
combine the two segments.
4. Repeat this with all the hair segments on the side of the part near the
hairline until you reach the back of your head
5. Secure the combined segment of all these individual twirls using a pin at
the nape of the neck.
6. Repeat the same process with the other side of the part and secure with
a pin at the nape creating a Halo band. You may also create a braid using
one twirl section and bringing it together in the Halo Band.
7. Secure this Halo band tightly using pins or create a loose, messy braid.
8. You can keep your hair back or bring it to one side to create drama.
9. Spray System Professional Perfect Hold generously to keep this intricate
style in place.
10. Finish with a dab of LuxeOil wherever you see flyaways or baby hair
peeking out and run LuxeOil down the length to smoothen it out.
This is a look designed to
transform you into a princess
straight out of Grimm’s tales
while being deceptively simple.
Rely on your fingers to create
romance this month!

33. Think Greek Goddess waves
at brunch. Or lunch. Or really
anywhere on a lazy day with
your special someone.
Tools: A three barelled curling
iron.
Product: System Professional
LuxeOil
self made
Steps:
1. Take a few drops of LuxeOil and
spread through the lengths of your
hair to act as a heat protectant.
2. Take a section of your hair at
the front and spray the System
Professional Perfect Hold so it will
hold the style.
3. Set the temperature of the iron at
170-180 degrees and clamp it down
the lengths, section by section.
If you don’t have a three-pronged
iron or can’t locate it, you can try this
alternate approach.
1. Divide your hair into vertical
sections after following the prep
steps above.
2. Make a three-section braid using
each section you have created
and try to keep them of the same
length as far as possible.
3. Use a normal straightening iron and
regulate the temperature between
170-180 degrees.
4. Clamp the iron on the braid at
3/4th length and hold it for three
to five seconds. Glide it down the
lengths, holding it for the same
time duration.
5. Repeat across the sections.
6. Let your hair cool. You may leave
the braids on for upto an hour to
rein in the waves, depending on
your hair texture.
7. Finish with System Professional
Perfect Hold spray to hold the style.

34. This look can back up power-
dressing at your workplace.
Simple and stylish, it transitions
from day to night with simple
accessories and touch-ups for
that special date!
Tools: A tailcomb, black pins,
a black elastic hair band, an
accessory to take the look from
day to night.
Products: System Professional
LuxeOil
Steps:
1. Prep your hair with SP
LuxeOil to tame frizz and
flyaways.
2. With your tail comb take
a horseshoe section at the
crown of your head. This is
done by creating a part on
one side at the beginning of
the hairline at the temple, all
the way around the head to
the same spot on the other
side of the head.
3. Using the tail comb, take
a horizontal section within
this horseshoe section
and place the comb about
halfway between your hair’s
roots and your hand, and
apply firm brush strokes
downward toward the scalp.
Repeat this motion until
there is a cushion of hair at
the base of the hair section.
4. Secure your bouffant using
several bobby pins to keep
it firmly in place.
5. The hair at front may look
rough and messy; in that
case, run the comb gently
at the front while holding
the section in the other
hand to create a perfectly
coiffed bouffant.
6. You may also use the
System Professional Perfect
Hold spray on the bouffant
to give it hold.
7. Pull the rest of your hair
with a comb or brush
section-wise, bringing it
up near the base of the
bouffant for a high pony.
8. Secure the ponytail using
an elastic rubber band and
using your hands, secure it
firmly against the head.
9. To finish the look, dab a little
LuxeOil down the length of
the ponytail.
10. To transition this look for the
night you may add a girly
accessory like a pearl hair
brooch or segments.

PIXIE PERFECT
“When one thinks of
Valentine’s Day, one thinks
of soft textures, curls, classic
buns with subdued shades of
reds and browns. Soft braids,
either in entirety or partial,
must also have lots of
loosened bits. Finger waves
or very soft curls would fit
right in, although not sprayed.
Broadly, whether an up-do
or hair left loose, the hairstyle
should have a fly-away effect
and the end result must
be soft!”

Black, sexy and irresistible, leather
jackets have been a favourite
among men for ages. This season,
let leather meet colour as you sport
jackets in colours such as steel grey
and reddish brown; or even teal,
for the more adventurous kinds.
Zipped up to protect yourself from
the waning chill of February or
left loose and open to billow ever
so slightly—that makes for a chic
look—this month, cover up in style.
COMPLEMENT IT:
Add the enticing ‘bad boy’ charm to your colourful
biker boy image with a side fringe hairstyle and a
short and shaggy beard. “This look would work
best for an evening date. Ensure that you allow
your fringe to grow till a proper length so that it
can be swept behind the ears,” says Mr. Krishna
Gupta, Managing Director, Lloyds Luxuries Ltd
(Truefitt & Hill).

Whoever said prints are just for the
ladies? Give your regular white, beige
and cream shirts/jackets a twist, with
unconventional prints that are a runway
rage this season. From Alexander
McQueen who used block-colour swirls
over suiting to the elaborate mosaic
tile prints seen at Hardy Amies, printed
shirts, jackets or trousers will definitely
help you score brownie points. Afraid
of losing your ruggedness? Keep the
colours toned down so that your prints
stand out bold and beautiful.
COMPLEMENT IT:
Match the shock of the prints on display with an
undercut hair and full beard for that masculine feel.
Gupta says, “For this look, one should ensure that
the length of the hair and beard should be the same.
The beard should be well-trimmed or else it would
give a shabby look overall. The mop of hair on top
should be separated by a clean line and styled from
front to back.”

tie has been ditched this season
in favour of the stylish bow tie.
Sequinned, plain or velvety in classic

ave there been times when you wish you had just that
perfect mess of blonde locks—shining ever so brightly in
the day as well as night, just right to carry off any haircut
and style? What is stopping you from taking this golden
plunge, then? Blonde hair isn’t just meant for fair-skinned, blue-eyed
people; take one look at the glamorous Beyoncé Knowles and you
know you can squash that myth in a jiffy. All you need to know is
what shade of blonde suits your skin tone and help is at hand here.
The basic thumb rule when it comes to colouring your hair is: do not
go more than two levels or shades, above or below your natural hair
colour. Also, with Indian skin tones ranging from medium to dark,
a golden, beige-blonde or light blonde is what suits medium skin
tone people. Tip of the month: more the colour carried by your skin,
more colour you can add to your hair! Those with a darker skin tone
should simply stick to darker shades of blonde like caramel. Golden
highlights work perfectly fine as well!
Now that you know the shade that will suit
you, all you need to do is choose the right
product, and Berina’s Hair Bleacher is just the
thing for you. One of the most innovative hair
colouring products from Berina Cosmetics,
Berina Hair Bleacher uses an advanced
highlighting technique that
lightens hair significantly with
brilliant, natural-looking results
and a visibly glossy shine.

their simple tricks to banish those pesky
deal-breakers in a jiffy!
Text by Shefali Samdria
Unnecessary volume is best banished with smoothening

bandanas as well as hairstyles like messy buns with
bouffants to make your hair type work for you.

bad hair day can make everything fall
flat. Every girl’s worst nightmare, bad
hair days always have the worst timing! Whether
you’ve got the frizzies, fine hair, dry hair, or just
haven’t had a chance to wash your hair—when
your crowning glory is misbehaving, you feel like
the world is coming crashing down!
Valentine’s Day is a special occasion and to help
you do away with your hair woes, TIGI gives you
five quick fixes.
Volume is the key here. Fine hair that ends up flat is a
double jeopardy that can kill any look. To fix this, use
a volumising shampoo and conditioner that will give
your hair more body. recommends teasing your
hair at the roots and opting for waves that will give
you better volume. A soft pixie-cut goes a long way
in adding thickness too!

This common hair issue is best dealt with a combination
of right products and styling. The best antidote for this
common hair condition is an anti-frizz serum, followed
by leave-in conditioners and humidity protection
products. Braids, side buns and ballerina buns work
equally well for frizzy hair. Avoid over-brushing and
blow-dry at medium heat to minimise the frizz.
Must-haves: Bed Head Control Freak Serum, Bed
Head After Party cream and Bed Head Ego Boost
Leave-in Conditioner
Excessive product use leads to residual
deposits on the hair and scalp that can make
hair dull, flat and unresponsive to styling. The
best way to deal with excessive hairstyling
products is to use a dry shampoo to clear
the residue. This will add volume and also
keep your hairstyle intact for a longer time.
After using a dry shampoo, consider wearing
your hair in a messy bun or braid. You could
also go for a sleek or gelled-back look.
Must-haves: Bed Head Rockaholic Dirty
Secret Dry Shampoo
Dry hair, greasy roots, nothing can be more
problematic. Using a deep cleansing shampoo
once a week works to alleviate this problem, as
does using a dry shampoo to remove excess
oil at times. The best styling products to follow
the shampoo are matte, texturising ones, as gel
and wax can increase the greasiness.

46. Skyis thelimit
I
t is rare to meet a woman as
grounded and simple as Sarah
Jane Dias. When I walked into
the coffee shop, I thought she
was late until I caught sight of her
in a corner, dressed in a flowing
monochrome maxi, white sneakers
and black spectacles. Courteous
yet opinionated, her thoughts flow
with ease and honesty; she is a self-
made woman without a godfather in
Bollywood and she is here to stay.
QDid you always plan on being a
part of the glamour industry?
A I was studying Sociology before
joining the industry. I always loved
to perform and dreamt of being a
performer in some way. Everything else
has worked out from there and I know
now what I love to do as a performer.
No one in my family is in this industry
so it has been trial and error.
QWhile everyone knows about
your journey as a former Miss
India, not much is known about
your background.
A I was born in Mumbai but grew up
in the Middle East. I moved back to
Mumbai to pursue college education
and started off as an MTV VJ after
graduation. I quit VJ-ing to participate
in Miss India. And it flowed from there.
She is multi-talented, funny, focused and an aspiring Yogi. SHEFALI SAMDRIA has a
candid conversation with Sarah Jane Dias about food, yoga and going for your dreams.

QAny experience from the Miss India competition
that still stands out after all this time?
A Pageants make you tough as nails. While it’s a wonderful
place to meet new people, it’s a very judgmental and
competitive place to be in. If you don’t develop a thick skin
you get chewed up! It helped me stand tall and recognise my
strength. I was actually voted the most unfit contestant that
year and today I am one of the Kingfisher Calendar girls!
QSince you’ve turned your fitness around, please
share what your fitness routine is like?
A I like to try and do different things in terms of a workout.
From swimming to cycling, Ashtanga Yoga to kick-boxing, I
love being active.
QFrom VJ-ing to modelling to Bollywood has it been
a focused transition? Is Bollywood where you plan
to be?
A I don’t believe you can plan a career in Bollywood, or even
in the glamour industry. I chase dreams not money. That’s
how I live and choose my projects, I have never had a plan.
QGrowing up, were you focused about your beauty
or hair care routine before joining the industry?
How different is your routine now?
A I followed the basics, like using a sun block and moisturiser,
that is something all girls should do. I love oil massages since I
was child and always drank a lot of water. The most important
thing is to cleanse your skin and hair thoroughly after a shoot
and I try to keep it organic.
Pageants make you tough as

QWhich are your favourite hair
products?
A I love the Kérastase range and B-Blunt
products, particularly their Anti-Frizz cream.
I swear by the Elnett hairspray, it has styled
my hair without damage for years. I like the
Inoa range for gentle, ammonia-free colour.
QWhich are your favourite beauty
products?
A All Clarins products, particularly the
eye make-up remover and their sun blocks
are amazing. I use a lot of organic, cold-
pressed avocado, olive and coconut oils on
my face because I have dry skin. I mix the
oils with milk and honey to make a night
pack. My skin loves oil! In make-up, I love the
Lakme range, Bobbi Brown and Benefit. I
love Benefit’s blush and bronzer, the Bobbi
Brown brick and Lakme gel liner in teal. I
have gone through bottles of the Lakme
liquid liner since I was a child!
QDo you have a life passion apart
from your career?
A I started learning Ashtanga Yoga five
years ago and I am passionate about it. It
gives me peace and grounding and I am
planning to train as a teacher soon. I also
love to cook, travel and music is a real
passion. I am, in fact, releasing my first music
album this month. Its mostly Soul music and
I am launching it independently on YouTube.
I am the singer, song writer, producer and
video director!
QWhich is your favourite
cuisine?
A I love cooking hearty, wholesome meals
and breakfast is a favourite across cuisines.
QFive items you always carry in your
bag?
A Lip balm, hand sanitiser, green tea bags,
Benefit blush, L’Oréal Mascara.
QTell us about your experience of
shooting for the Kingfisher
calendar.
A I fell in love with Turkey, our shoot
locations are breathtaking as you will see.
Atul Kasbekar is very intelligent and knows
just how to make a woman look beautiful.
Vidyut and Nupur who were part of make-
up and hair, were amazing to work with. The
other models were a pleasure to work with
and it was a joy ride, the whole experience…
QWhich is your favourite shot of
yourself from the calendar?
A There is a tight close-up shot of me in
intricate braids and I love braids so.
QWhat is the biggest lesson you have learnt
about hair care and beauty during work?
A Never work with a hairstylist you don’t know. The last
time I took that risk he burnt my hair! Also, never go to
sleep with make-up on.
QHow would you describe your beauty
philosophy?
A My advice is to be yourself, whether you have dark
circles or any other imperfection. Work with what you
have been given, bad hair has more to do with nutrition
and well-being than your hair routine. De-stressing and
nutrition work wonders for skin and hair. I don’t believe
in plastic surgery and pills. Be yourself and the world will
see your beauty!

51. down to basics
A simple blow-dry at home, if
done in the right manner, can
get you salon-worthy hair
without burning a hole in
your pocket.
The hairstyling guide
Here’s your step-by-step guide to nail that
perfect blow-dry all by yourself:
What you will need: A towel, a blow-dryer
with a nozzle, styling products (which will
depend on the quality of your hair and
on the kind of look you want to create),
conditioner, protective serum, round brushes
and hair clips.
How will you do it:
STEP 1: TOWEL-DRY YOUR HAIR
Make sure you blot the hair and do not rub it,
as the main purpose of towel-drying hair is
to only get rid of the excess moisture.
STEP 2: APPLYING A HAIR STYLING
PRODUCT
It is very important that you choose this
product wisely, depending on the quality of
your hair. After towel-drying your hair, apply
a leave-in conditioner or a shine serum,
starting from the lower end of each hair
strand going up till the hair shaft. Comb your
hair once you are done applying the product.
STEP 3: BLOW-DRYING YOUR
BANGS OR FRINGES
The wetter your bangs the easier it will
be for you to blow it out. Also, blow-drying
your bangs or fringes first with the nozzle
on will help you get better control for parting
your hair.
STEP 4: DIVIDING HAIR INTO PARTS
Once you’ve blown out your bangs, you can
move to the rest of your hair. Divide your
hair into equal parts—it is suggested that
you separate two sections of your hair at
the back and tie them into buns. Repeat the
same for the front portion. Do not forget to
leave one portion to start with.

February 2015 57

52. STEP 5: START BLOW-DRYING YOUR HAIR FROM
THE ROOTS
Finally, put the nozzle on and start blow-drying your hair from
the roots. The correct technique is to pull your hair out and
hold it while you blow air over it. Stretching your hair will help
smoothen it. Make sure you dry your hair from the roots till the
end or it may become frizzy from within.
STEP 6: USING THE ROUND BRUSH
Now that you’ve dried your hair from the roots, it’s time to use
the round brush. Simply hold your hair from the roots and turn
it around while shooting it with the air on the outer side. Move
the brush along with your dryer. This is supposed to keep your
hair frizz-free.
STEP 7: BLAST DRY
Finally, flip your hair in front so that it falls over your face; this
is done in order to dry the hidden, heavy hair on the backside.
Switch on the cool button on your dryer that blast dries your
hair completely, giving them a voluminous feel.
STEP 8: APPLYING A STYLING PRODUCT OR SERUM
Apply a hairstyling product or serum to lend a lasting blow-
dried effect to your hair.
Style ’em up!
Now that you know how to
style your hair like a pro at
home, let the hairstylist in
you make you look your best
in this month of love. Here
are three flattering hairstyles
to flaunt this Valentine’s:
Lazy Waves
Wavy hair is the most
manageable and one that
suits almost everyone. To
get those lazy waves, follow
the above procedure until
step number four. In order
to make it look naturally
wavy, compress your hair
by squeezing it up loosely.
Tamp the end towards the
roots to let your waves flow.
Simply dry the ends of your
hair with a diffuser followed
by application of serum.
For a fluffy look, leave some
moisture in the hair to let it
dry off by itself.
Simply Straight
This is one hairstyle that
works for the red-carpet as
well as for a casual dinner
date. Sleek hair looks sexy
and is the easiest style to
go for while blow-drying
hair at home. Follow the
above steps and then use
a flat iron/straightener
to get yourself the most
glamorous, silky hair.
Curly & Girly!
If you’ve been crazy for curls
and wondering if you can
do it at home, here’s how.
Follow the above procedure
until step number four. Once
you’ve separated your hair,
flip it upside down, attach
the diffuser to your blow-
dryer and set it at a warm
temperature. Start drying
your hair by holding the
diffuser pointed up. Now,
flip your hair back and let
a handful of curls fall in the
diffuser bowl. While drying,
let the diffuser reach your
roots in order to dry your
hair entirely. Repeat the same
with each portion of your
hair and then apply a serum
to let it flow. Curls need no
maintenance and hence the
lesser you play with your
curls, the longer they live.

Hair and
Eat your way to better hair with our must-
have mane guide…
Top tip: “For long, luscious locks, you
need a diet packed with the right types
of proteins. I would suggest taking a
good look at your diet and increasing the
amounts of red meat, eggs and oily fish on
the menu.” – Iain Sallis
How does the hair behave if a high fat, high
sugar diet is followed?
“The human body is a very complex machine. Your body has
very specific nutritional requirements. Eating refined foods
and over-processed foods can also result in lack of nutrients
or reduced minerals and vitamins being absorbed into the
body. A well-balanced diet including plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables is always best. Hair and scalp problems can arise
from either a deficiency or an excess of nutrients in your diet,
and in some cases, nutrition alone can be the cause of hair
loss,” says Creative Director of Russell Eaton salons, Robert
Eaton.
If your diet is unbalanced, your scalp and the sebaceous
glands that surround each follicle may produce excessive
oils and sebum, which can coat the hair and make it look
lank and greasy. Alongside dirt and pollution, this can lead to
infections on the scalp and even alter hormone production.
An exfoliating shampoo can help, but the best solution is to
moderate your sugar and fat intake.
your diet
Can diet affect conditions like hair loss
and thinning?
Diet is a very important factor as it nurtures all areas of your
body, including the blood vessels around the hair follicles.
Very often people forget about their scalps, when it’s actually
this sensitive area that helps to feed, nourish and ultimately
grow hair.
“If your diet is lacking in any vitamins or minerals, then the
skin and hair growth process can be stunted, and in some
cases cause problems with hair loss. Avoid crash diets, as
these can quickly starve the body of nutrients and cause
your hair to shed. In some cases, this doesn’t show until
around three months after the diet, which sometimes
means people do not associate this hair loss with lack of
nutrients,” adds Robert Eaton. “Obesity can also cause the
female hormone (oestrogen) to be less effective in women.
Oestrogen naturally binds to fat, so there is less of it to act as
a buffer to the testosterone, which in turn may manifest itself
as genetic hair thinning!” adds trichologist Iain Sallis.
Alongside following a balanced diet, what
hair products should I be using to help
promote strong, healthy locks?
A good vitamin supplement can ensure that all the correct
vitamins and minerals are there for successful hair growth.
Iron is often a watch point, as low iron levels or incorrect
absorption are also linked to hair loss. Also, a good scalp
treatment, exfoliating shampoo or scalp massage really help
to get the blood circulating going and keep the scalp in the
best possible state for promoting hair growth.

The cut &Often left confused by hairstylists’ terms and sayings? We are
too! So we’ve done you a favour by asking the stylists to the
stars, Lee Stafford and Jack Howard, to give us a helping hand in
understanding the meaning behind the lingo…
FeatureAkeshaReid&AnnieCannock
“The undercut is a really modern way to have your
hair cut and styled, even though it’s been going
strong since the 1980s. More and more people are
embracing the trend, sometimes without even
realising it! Today the undercut is a way of life, it’s
great. If you’re nervous about getting an extreme
undercut, don’t worry, they can be worn subtly
too—giving your hair a modern twist,” explains Lee.
Graduated styles come straight out of the
swinging 60s, with stylists of Vidal Sassoon’s era
playing a key part in its creation and pushing
this to the forefront of fashion. This style is great
for maximising your best features and drawing
attention away from those you don’t wish to
highlight. It’s all about creating a wedge or angle
within the hair’s shape – perfect if you want to keep
your long layers but want more volume.
“The asymmetrical cut has really become a classic.
A few years back it was the kookiest, coolest and
most cutting edge thing to get done to your hair,
and now your Auntie is going into the hairdressers
and asking for it!” says Lee. “Asymmetry is just
a way of life now and a 21st century way to
approaching hair for any woman. It can incorporate
different textures and shapes, which can look
amazing. I love a long, sexy fringe… it’s really
alluring and flirty!”
First coming into light in the late 70s and early 80s
with Hollywood stars such as Farrah Fawcett and
Don Johnson supporting the style, feathering is
a technique used to give tresses the appearance
of having bird-like layer.s The hair would be at
least past the earlobes, parted in the centre of the
crown, and once trimmed, brushed bask to expose
the pretty plumage. Nowadays, starlets like Taylor
Swift have opted for this style, making sure it’s still
fighting strong.

with an A-line bob is that

cut a woman’s hair to make
her face into the perfect
oval – but listen, if you get a
fantastic haircut that’s done
brilliantly, it doesn’t matter.”

Dip-dye
“This is a technique in which the colour goes
from darker at the roots to lighter ends – it’s also
a French word meaning ‘to shade’” says Jack
Howard, International Colour Director at Neville
Hair and Beauty. “Since ombré took off, colourists
and clients have been playing around and really
having fun with this technique, and we can see all
sorts of variations for all different taste levels.”
Jack Howard aka the king of balayage tells us
exactly what this method involves: “It’s a French
word meaning to sweep or paint. It allows for
a sun-kissed, natural-looking hair colour similar
to what nature gives us as children, with softer,
less noticeable regrowth lines—the principal idea
being that less is more when creating soft, natural
looks. The balayage pieces should be very close
and soft at the root, leading to a thicker highlight
at the ends of the hair. Balayage is applied on the
surface of the section and not saturated through
the section until the very tips, otherwise you would
have a streak of colour that isn’t very soft at all. It
can also be called a freehand technique because
no foil or meche are used to create the highlights.”
“Bronde is all the rage in LA and NYC (worn by the
likes of Jessica Alba and Olivia Palermo) and it’s
now the number one colour service at Neville,” says
Jack. “Known as the perfect combination of brown
and blonde tones, “bronde” is perfect for darker-
haired clients who want to try out a lighter colour,
and it can be warm, neutral or cool. The choice is
really between you and your colourist. The key to
the perfect shade of ‘bronde’ is to lighten hair by
freehand painting pieces through the hair, making
sure that the colour is softer near the mid-section
and thicker towards the ends, and is even all the
way through.”
Highlights are created when strands of hair are
lightened, covered in foil and folded to prevent
the coloured hair from touching the rest of the
head, with the end result being pronounced locks
of lighter colour. Now, the word ‘highlights’ can
tend to evoke images of dodgy, streaky hair and
popstars circa 1999, but they don’t need to be
dated—just ensure that you don’t go for a colour
much lighter than the rest of your hair to avoid a
streaky look.
Dip-dye is ombré’s more
daring sister! The graduation
of colour from dark to light
is less natural, and looks like
you have dipped your locks
into the bleach or colour
pot—hence the name. Dip-
dye has been über popular
over the past two years, but
now, more people are opting
for the more subtle ombré
or balayage. If you’re not
ready to say goodbye to the
dip-dye, then why not dare
to try a pop of colour like a
copper to match a brunette
hue or a soft pastel to match
a blonde?

There is never an easy, painless way to
rid of facial hair that doesn’t have
repercussions; I have tried them all.
Braun has launched a new epilator for
women with the promise of four weeks
of smooth skin. As guided by the team,
I tried this on a clean face and used
a little cream to minimise friction.
While I experienced a mild ping on
my upper lip area, for the most part,
the pain was minimal and the results,
amazing. There was a little redness
that vanished in minutes. A week
later, there aren’t any break-outs or
in-growth; so I know for a fact that
the usual side-effects of threading
and tweezing are avoided with the
Braun Face. Moisturiser and foundation
absorbs faster and I only need half the
quantity now because it’s not getting
caught in the facial hair. I realise now
what a difference it makes to epilate
rather than bleach facial hair. I am a
Braun Face convert for life!
With winter come cracked, dry heels and toes.
As much as I pamper myself with body butters
and the like, the effect is only temporary. I was
asked to take weekly pedicures during the
colder months, but that is just not possible with
a working schedule! The good people at Scholl
shared this amazing lifesaver that has sorted
my feet and my life. This is an electronic foot file
that comes with an abrasive head and runs on
batteries. For one, pedicures at home are simply
cumbersome—it is not possible to slough and
trim the dead skin from all angles. This product
smoothens the skin on the feet gently and its
roller surface and ergonomic design make it
very easy to use and reach. The Velvet Smooth
Express Pedi is a must-have for working women,
or really anyone who wants to groom their feet
but cannot afford the luxury of time and money
for frequent salon visits. Try this!

Express Pedi
Braun Face
It was with a lot of hesitation that I tried this.
Blessed with oily skin that breaks up easily, I
have spent my whole life trying to make my
skin oil-free! But I gave in to the current oil
craze and gave this a try. The product comes
in a dispenser and you need only two pumps
for your face and neck. Mildly scented with
rose and lavender, I did feel some tingling on
application on the sensitive patches. I patted
it onto my skin and it absorbed instantly,
which convinces me that my skin needed
it. In fact, I applied twice the amount the
next day and sure enough, that was gone
as well! I woke up to glowing, soft skin and
less oiliness on my T-Zone which is a life
achievement. Within a week, I was wearing
a lighter shade of concealer. My skin glows
from within and I haven’t broken out at all.
This is one of the five Rosehip oils in the
world and it has now come to India. Grab
it and glow!

My hair has seen its share of
serums. I was pleasantly surprised
to find this product work on a
whole different level. Used on wet
and blow-dried hair, it gave me
a style that looked healthy and
bouncy. It can be used on wet
or dry hair and with or without
blow-drying them. My hair usually
falls limp or gets frizzy by mid-day
and I need to brush or comb it,
but on days that I used the Luxe
Oil, I didn’t need to. I also applied
it on dry hair as a touch-up and
it instantly replenished the lost
moisture and shine. Baby hair,
flyaways and frizz are all but gone
with every use. I realised later that
it’s the keratin content at work!
Use this as often as you like in tiny
quantities because it is luxurious
indeed, and a little goes a long way!

not damaged and I keep styling to a minimum, sun
exposure and dryness have affected its lustre and
body. The shampoo has a mild scent like all L’Oréal
Professionnel products and lathers well. From the first
rinse itself, I could feel the boost my hair received in
terms of body and smoothness; it felt heavier too. If
you oil your hair, you might need to use the shampoo
twice, because this product is not very foaming. I
dried my hair naturally and was pleased to find it
sleeker, and in general, healthier-looking. What’s
more, it stayed that way until the next time I used
the shampoo, which makes this a must-have!
This is one of the bestselling
sunscreens for a reason. It is
made for Indian skin, is matte,
light, and works like a charm
every time. I was using another
sunscreen that left my face
patchy, when I decided to switch
to this. A common complaint with
sunscreens is that they leave a
thin film on the skin that looks like
a white cast. This one is not only
matte but tinted to look as natural
as possible. What’s more, due to
the calamine content, this also
acts like a primer, keeping my
skin looking fresh the whole day.
I now skip the primer and use
only a light foundation without
a dusting of powder, because it
combats oiliness through the day
in addition to lasting protection.
The high SPF means I don’t need
to reapply after a few hours, which
makes this very convenient to use
and simplifies my life. A must-have
for all seasons!

MANES FOR MALESDapper men know better than to make one basic mistake—ignore their hair! So, pay
attention gentlemen, as HENA DESAI brings to you the top styles that are sure keep
you bang on-trend in 2015!
THE SIDE PART
The 60s are making a comeback
with this style that calls for slick,
combed hair that gives you a
well put-together look. Think
Don Draper meets Leonardo
DiCaprio and you will know
you are right on track! For this
look, use a fine-toothed comb
to create a side parting in wet,
shampooed hair. Then, blow-
dry the hair in the direction of
the parting for a polished look.
Comb the rest of the hair on the
other side downwards. Work
some hair wax into your hair
and define the parting again by
combing through your hair one
last time. The hair wax will help
hold the hair in place and also
add some shine to it.
THE TOUSLED MOP
This style, a 2014 favourite as well,
thanks to One Direction, lends
itself to loads of texture. The look is
stylised yet understated, definitely
making you look trendy and boyish.
The hair needs to be tidy on the
sides and voluminous on the top.
Just blow-dry the ‘mop’ and using
your fingers, style into an undone
look. Finish with a light-hold
hairspray or styling mousse for a
natural look.
THE SHOULDER LENGTH
HAIR
Yes, you heard us right...the
long hair trend may be back
for good—models on the
John Varvatos and Vivienne
Westwood fashion show ramps
have shown us that! The key
thing to keep in mind with
this style is to not let them
grow beyond your shoulders,
keeping them well-groomed at
all times. Blow-dry roughly and
leave them loose with a centre
parting for a relaxed, casual look.
Regular conditioning is a must
to keep your lengths healthy
and so are trims to keep them
in shape. Brad Pitt rocked it
perfectly the last time it was in,
and now, so can you.
PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO
YOUR HAIR FOR A WELL PUT-
TOGETHER LOOK.
