SONNYBOY MAGANO – HAIRSTYLIST AND SONNYMAGIC HAIR AND BEAUTY LOUNGE OWNER WHICH UNISEX HAIRSTYLES DO YOU RECOMMEND?
A PIXIE CUT, BUZZ CUT OR SLICKED BACK HAIR CAN LOOK CLASSY AND EDGY, DEPENDING ON THE STYLE YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE. WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THESE STYLES IS THAT THEY'RE EASY TO MAINTAIN AND ACCENTUATE A WOMAN’S FACE.
WHICH PRODUCTS CAN BE USED TO MAINTAIN THE CUT AND COLOUR?
I ALWAYS ADVISE MY CLIENTS TO DO A MOISTURE TREATMENT WITH KERATIN EVERY TWO WEEKS, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR HAIR IS DYED. A TREATMENT LOCKS IN MOISTURE AND NOURISHES THE HAIR. IF YOU HAVE SLICKED BACK RELAXED HAIR, CORNROWS OR DYE, I'D SAY ALWAYS WEAR A SILK OR SATIN SCARF, INSTEAD OF A DOEK OR STOCKING, AS THESE CAN DEPLETE YOUR HAIR'S NATURAL MOISTURE.
TSHEPANG ‘TWIGGY’ MOLLISON – CONTENT CREATOR AND LIFESTYLE INFLUENCER YOUR SIGNATURE HAIRSTYLE IS A SHORT BLONDE HAIRCUT. WHAT INSPIRED THIS LOOK?
I ENJOY HAVING MY SHORT BUZZ CUT AS IT'S CONVENIENT FOR MY BUSY LIFESTYLE. I JUST MOISTURISE IT AND I'M GOOD TO GO. THE BLONDE COLOUR IS IN LINE WITH MY CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY. I STILL FEEL FEMININE, BUT WITH A BOYISH EDGE.
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR HAIR COLOUR AND HAIR HEALTH?
I TAKE GREAT CARE IN TREATING MY HAIR IN BETWEEN DYEING, AND I ALSO TAKE BREAKS FROM ADDING COLOUR, BY WEARING WIGS. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO KEEP MY HAIR HYDRATED, SO I EITHER USE MOISTURISING OR HYDRATING NATURAL OILS TO KEEP MY STRANDS STRONG AND HEALTHY.
JABU MAYISELA – JABU’S HAIR SOLUTIONS OWNER WHICH UNISEX HAIRSTYLES DO YOU USUALLY SUGGEST TO YOUR CLIENTS?
I LOVE CREATING DIFFERENT PIXIE CUTS AND CORNROWS THAT GIVE OFF A MASCULINE VIBE. I ALSO ENJOY WORKING WITH SHORT CURLS ON NATURAL AND RELAXED HAIR.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR UNISEX HAIRSTYLES AND HAIR COLOUR?
A CURL MOISTURISER FOR NATURAL AND RELAXED CURLS WITH ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS LIKE SHEA BUTTER OR COCONUT OIL TO LOCK IN THE MOISTURE. YOU CAN USE A NON-DRYING STYLING WAX FOR THE FLATTENED HAIR TO LAST ALL DAY.
KEITUMETSE ‘K NAOMI’ NOINYANE – MEDIA PERSONALITY YOU EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT HAIR TEXTURES AND STYLES, WHAT INSPIRED YOUR SHORT LOOK?
I LOVE HOW SHORT HAIR SCULPTS MY CHEEKS, AND IS QUICK AND EASY TO MAINTAIN. A HYDRATING HAIR MIST OR CURL ACTIVATOR EASILY REVIVES MY CURLS.
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR HAIR WHEN IT IS SHORT AND CURLY?
I ALWAYS TREAT MY HAIR WITH A CONDITIONER THAT GIVES IT EXTRA MOISTURE WHEN IT STARTS LOOKING DULL. I ALSO LOVE A HEALTHY SHINE, SO I ALWAYS KEEP A MOISTURISING SPRAY IN MY BAG FOR WHEN I NEED A TOUCH-UP.
