Beauty Column with John Lewis

BEAUTY COLUMN JULY
Ever wondered where the phrase; "bad hair day" came from? One of the most popular phrases to be uttered by women all over the world was actually coined by the world's most respected authority on hair and scalp health; Philip Kingsley.
A career as a trichologist spanning an amazing 55 years, has taken him all over the world, boasting many illustrious clients which include royalty, politicians and film stars. In 1997 he created Philip Kingsley Products, the first trichology driven hair and scalp care range.
The range includes products such as; 'No Scent No Colour' - a shampoo and conditioner originally designed for women undergoing cancer treatment and also suitable for sensitive scalps and small children, 'Swimcap' which helps protect the hair against the effects of chlorine, and their hero product; 'Elasticizer' which was famously created for Audrey Hepburn and is the world's first moisturising treatment applied to hair before shampooing and a unique intensive protective treatment.
For the first lucky 50 Imagine listeners to come into store onto the Beauty Brands Dept, we have trial-sized Elasticizers to give away on production of this article.
This month's column is all about holiday hair and nails and some of the fabulous products we have here at John Lewis Cheadle to deal with all your concerns - from frizzy hair to split nails there is a product that will come to the rescue!
Worried about the effects of chlorine and salt water on your hair? Look no further than two great products from Philip Kingsley. Firstly if you have dull or discoloured brassy blonde or grey hair then 'Pure Silver', £14 (shampoo) £17 (conditioner) is for you as it adds shine to dull or discoloured hair. Also in the range is 'Swimcap' £17 which protects from chorine and saltwater and also contains sunscreen to protect the hair and scalp.
If like me you suffer from the dreaded 'humidity hair' on your hols then give
Tommy Guns 'Climate
Control Stying Spray', £5.99 a try. Containing jojoba oil for enhanced shine and witch hazel for enhanced smoothness and softness, it gives shape, body and volume. It also protects against all climates rain or shine so don't leave the
country without it.
For sexy waves and tousled locks Tommy Guns have 'Clever Curls and Waves Texture Spray', £5.99. With seaweed extract for playful waves or tousled curls it is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals for ultimate protection. Create natural waves, definition, bounce and texture with this great handbag-sized product.
Chlorine not only damages hair but can play havoc with your nails, John Lewis, Cheadle now stocks the brilliant Leighton Denny products and in the range is 'Bio Build for Weak Fragile Nails', £20. Two separate products to give the nails strength and protection it contains Bio Active Glass which is used in medical science to mend and strengthen bone. Containing four essential oils it adds a protective and strengthening sheild over nails. Just paint and go!
Another great product in the Leighton Denny range is 'Renovate', £13.25. An intense treatment for flaking, fraying, cracking, dull, ageing or unhealthy looking nails it creates a waterproof film so water runs off the nail surface like water off a ducks back. Brilliant.
For the hottest nails this season look no further than YSL for the vibrant fab shades of coral and purple. Keeping nails neat and tidy this season is the key for a more polished look, then add either a
neutral nude/beige shade (great for any occasion) or try Ultra Voilet or Ultra Orange from the YSL range for a fab funky look for hols. Priced at £16 they are flying out as soon as they come in and once they're gone, they're gone!
