Time makes the wine. In an era when everyone expects things to happen instantly it is hugely satisfying for us to see the development of a staff-member who has really put in the hard work in dedicating himself to his training and the development of his career. After 6 years of focus we are really proud to see graduate up on to our Senior team.
Well done Shelden! 🌟🌟🌟

To fringe or not to fringe?
That is the question.

Legendary celebrity and fashion hairstylist Wendy Iles was born in Australia but has spent much of her professional life living in Paris. Her clients include Heidi Klum, Chiara Mastroianni, Cheryl Cole and Marion Cotillard to name a few.
Wendy found that many traditional hair products were too heavy or sticky so over many years she developed her own formula for a Styling Serum infused with silk proteins which she used exclusively on her shoots. This is how Iles Formula was born. The range has expanded somewhat since but the core products are the Serum, Shampoo and Conditioner. Suitable for use on all hair types, we love the simplicity of this luxurious range.
Available now at www.rydersalon.com.

How to do the hair:
All products mentioned by

Look 3: A Simple Ponytail

1) Start by preparing the hair with a handful of Rootalicious applied into the root area and using a hair-dryer blow all the hair away from the face.
2) Smooth hair as much as possible, applying a light spritz of W-Spray to create a neat and sleek look without making it look wet or oily.
3) Decide where the pony needs to be and continue to brush hair to that point.
4) Secure the pony in place with hat elastic. This makes it easy to leave the hair in place while securing it.

Look 2: A Scraped-back look

1) Lightly spray hair with water and begin blow-drying hair back off the face.
2) Spray the hair in sections moving forward starting behind the ear with Original Queenie Hairspray.
3) Rake the hair back away from the ears with a wide-tooth comb and diffuse with a hair-dryer until dry.
4) Apply a cocktail of Style Guru and Frizzy Logic Serum to create weight and separation to the ends.

Here’s how to create the look.
All products mentioned are from

Look 1: Soft Waves with Middle Part.
1) Begin by spraying down the hair with Atonic Thickening Spray and blow-drying it in, keeping it close to the head.
2) Create a string centre-part with a pintail comb.
3) Using a tong, go in and create a soft bend in the hair from the chin down, using large sections ( larger sections create softer looks ).
4) Finish with a combination of Style Guru and Frizzy Logic serum to add weight. Feel free to pull at it but remember this look is about a close silhouette not volume.

Beautiful natural curls on
Getting your curls to look consistently good involves thinking a little differently. For example, Co-washing.
Co-washing, short for "conditioner washing" is a hair care method that involves washing curly or textured hair with a moisturising conditioner instead of using a traditional shampoo. This method is popular among people with curly or coily hair because it helps to retain natural oils and moisture in the hair, which can help to prevent dryness, frizz, and breakage.

The basic steps for co-washing curly hair are as follows:

1. Thoroughly wet your hair with warm water.
2. Apply a liberal amount of moisturising conditioner to your scalp and hair.
3. Massage your scalp gently with your fingertips to help distribute the conditioner throughout your hair.
4. Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.
5. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water.

It's important to choose a conditioner that is formulated for co-washing and is free of harsh chemicals and sulfates that can strip natural oils from the hair. Additionally, people with curly hair may also benefit from using a deep conditioning treatment once a week or as needed to help keep their hair soft, hydrated, and healthy.
There are many curl specific products available on www.rydersalon.com
