The latesttechnology in hairstyling means it shouldbe easier than ever, however.It used to be that the word “perm”would strike the fear of dread intoanyone, such was its reputation over theyears – remember the poodle efforts ofthe eighties. Now, though, the digitalperm has become a familiar offering,using digital thermal reconditioning to curl hair withoutproducing a surfeit of frizz. In fact, you can even use thetechnology to tame frizzy hair or tight curls into beautifulwaves. During the heating process, the strength building andconditioning properties, along with the new shape, are lockedinto the hair fibre. Different strengths of treatment can beused on different areas of the hair. The final result is a curlthat looks and behaves most like a natural curl in that whenit’s wet it’s loose but gets firmer and bouncier as it dries – theopposite of the traditional perm which got softer as it dried.As the spring brings lighter evenings, too, subtlyhighlighted hair and ombre styles to enhance naturalmovement look fantastic, and harnessing this understatedtrend with subtle apricot blondes and subdued brunettes canhighlight your natural wave. As with any form of lightening,you should also make sure you keep hair moisturised to avoidit becoming dry – an intensive moisturising mask once a weekshould make the lightened tones super shiny.Keeping hair looking bright without losing any shine cansometimes prove difficult. This is especially the case if youhave white or grey hair, which can often look a little dull andlack moisture. The latest hair products can deal with this -many contain extracts of blue lupin which help to neutraliseany yellow tones which can be caused by UV rays orpollutants in the air, and hence gives abrighter, whiter effect to the hair.When it comes to your skin there areplenty of ways to ensure you bloom thisspring. Many people now specificallyseek out mineral makeup. With puremilled minerals, there’s no oil to blockthe pores, no talc to make those finelines feel like craters and no fragrance –but instead makeup that is lightweight,healing and breathable.For your lips, many are now makinguse of a volumiser, which can make asubtle but notable difference to yourappearance as it adds a boost, firms yourlips and adds colour – no matter howpale you’re feeling. Many have a highlymoisturising formulation with theirplumping ingredients which add warmth and a gentle boost ofvolume to the lips for a smoother, firmer, more youthful result.Salons will normally offer a mineral application after a cosmeticprocedure such as permanent cosmetics, injectables ormicrodermabrasion.As well as subtle changes to your make-up and haircare,there are other techniques you can use to create subtle butdistinctive changes to your look to suit the brightness of theseason. CACI non-surgical treatments, for example, can help torejuvenate, restore and tone your skin.When you go to a salon that specialises in this treatment,you’ll generally undergo an hour-long session in which all 32facial muscles are gently manipulated and re-educated by atrained therapist using precise movements. Soft cotton-tippedwands are used on the face to transmit the micro-currentenergy to the facial muscles to restore tone and elasticity.Although one treatment will make a difference, the usualprogramme involves ten treatments over five weeks and thenthe occasional top-up to ensure you continue to benefit fromthe look.Your natural beauty will doubtless shine through as we losethe layers and look ahead to brighter days and longer evenings– but some help from Lincolnshire’s hair and beauty specialistscan give you a bit of a head start and ensure you always looklike you’re bounding with energy, with the minimum of effort.Let loose!Spring is here and with it comes the opportunity to burst out from the gloomTaylor Taylor London have created beautiful hairstyles in creative up dos that are bound to catch theeye during a new season46-47_Layout 1 23/02/2015 12:05 Page 1Schwarzkopf’s Glamination products can helpcreate the boho curl look46-47_Layout 1 23/02/2015 12:05 Page 2HEALTH & WELLBEINGhe had to work twice as hard to make sure I didn’tcatch up with him. Three weeks after meeting,Scott started his basic army training, whichmeant us being apart for fourteen weeks. I hadknown from the start that this would happen,but it didn’t make it any easier. Without thepeople at CrossFit I don’t think I would havecoped as well as I did. It’s difficult to explainhow close you feel to all of the guys and galsat CrossFit Witham, but I know whenever I’mthere that I feel like the best version of me. Weall believe in one another, and although there iscompetition between us, we all stick together tocelebrate each other’s achievements.After finishing basic training and moving into phase two, Scottwas home most weekends which meant we were back in the gymtogether. A lot had changed whilst he was away, I was stronger, fitterand even more determined to stick to my training regime.In October of last year we got engaged and everyone at the gymcouldn’t have been happier for us. With Scott being posted toScotland the following February we had three months to plan theIt’s amazing in life, how one small change can turnyour life upside down, and give you everythingyou’ve ever wanted. I blame CrossFit. Had I notjoined CrossFit Witham, I wouldn’t have metsome of the best friends I have now, gotback my desire to compete. And mostimportantly; met, dated and married mysoul mate. I met Scott at my first in-housecompetition, when we were put on the sameteam. Secretly, I couldn’t have been happier.I’d seen him with his shirt off mid-workoutseveral times, and let’s just say I liked what I saw.The competition, which we won by the way, wasfollowed with a mass night out by the gym, and it soundscheesy, but we really clicked.From that night on we were inseparable. He kept me goingthrough the toughest workouts, and as I got stronger and fitter,“We were inseparable. He kept megoing through the toughest workouts.”“It’s difficult to explain how close Ifeel to all the guys andgals at the gym, but Iknow that whenever Iam there, I feel likethe best version ofmyself.” Love, sweatand wedding bellsFor some, the gym is a place to lose weight, for others it is about de-stressing, but for one woman inLincolnshire, her gym was where she met her husband, as Hannah from CrossFit Witham explains. 48-49_Layout 1 23/02/2015 13:10 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY49HEALTH & WELLBEINGFancy givingCrossFit a go?

However, life often gets inthe way, and we find ourselves increasingly with a diet that isn’t asbalanced as it should or could be. Our busy lives don’t simplyimpact here because we don’t have the time to prepare the ‘right’foods, but also because of the increased need for nutrients wewouldn’t get in our everyday food intake. Many people choose to take a food supplement as some kind of‘insurance policy’, most commonly at times of vulnerability such aswith growing children, when we’re convalescing or when we areold. There are many types and brands of supplement available inthe market today, but just how appropriate are many of these?It’s important to choose the most appropriate supplements, andensure you’re getting not just the right nutrients, but also thatyou’re getting an appropriate dose, administered in the mostappropriate format – are tablets, capsules, powdered formulationsor liquids best for you?The Burton Waters Clinic stocks a range of supplements webelieve are the most appropriate all round. All ingredients are pureand natural, ethically and sustainably sourced and manufacturedin the UK, and clinically proven and tested to ensure absence ofWADA-prohibited substances – vital if you’re engaged in sportingactivity.Call in to the Burton Waters Clinic and ask about this range ofsupplements, and find the best way to ensure you have abalanced and nutritional diet.wedding so that I could go with him. I couldn’t have beenhappier or more excited about the future.Then it hit me, moving away meant leaving the gym andpeople who I now class as family. People who I havecompeted with, trained with and socialised with for the pastyear. It didn’t change my decision to go but it definitelymade me realise how much my life was about to change.In the lead up to the wedding I trained as hard as I couldand found that those few hours in the gym everyday tookaway any stress I was feeling. Being in the gym never fails toput a smile on my face. The wedding was a great successand having all of the CrossFit lot there was the icing on thecake. I had even managed a pre-wedding day workout thenight before to steady my nerves.So with two weeks to go until moving day arrives I findmyself looking back over all the incredible times I have hadin and outside of the gym with the crew. I will always be aCrossFit Witham girl but finding a new gym is a must for meto carry on what I started. I know I will meet new peopleand create new CrossFit memories but I can’t help feelinglike it will never be the same again and I know that CrossFitWitham will always be my home. 48-49_Layout 1 23/02/2015 13:10 Page 2Next >
