This month marks both Breast and Liver Cancer Awareness and Black History Month, two topics incredibly important to us as a community, and strongly linked to our relationship with our hair. This month we will be joining in on these conversations and hopefully, you will share, chat, learn, support or be supported alongside us...

In this month’s Make A Mark series, we're thrilled to profile Wealth Manager, Frankie Smith, the entrepreneurial force behind the London female investment club, Frankie’s. We discussed all things financial confidence, the importance of financial planning and how to change how we women discuss money, finances and investment. 

With changes in season, different hair types face their own vulnerabilities and challenges, but for all of us, the combination of Summer heat, humidity, and sun exposure can take a toll on hair, leaving it dry, frizzy, and damaged. The story doesn’t get much better in Winter with harsh changes from cold to hot (think brisk outdoors to our heated homes) and low air moisture, making our hair increasingly dry, brittle and less shiny. That’s why no matter the season, it's essential to adjust your hair care routine to protect and maintain the health of your locks.

Did you know: hair plays such a significant role in our overall confidence and self-esteem? A good hair day can help us feel attractive, energetic, and even more intelligent, while a bad hair day can leave us self-conscious, distracted and deflated. But we all face unique challenges when it comes to hair confidence and achieving “good hair”. These challenges can be social, genetic, or health-related, and they can really weigh us down! In this blog we discuss why hair matters to overall confidence and self-esteem - we end with a few practical steps to look after our hair, ourselves and boost our overall confidence.

Why is it that all of a sudden our hair can become dry, more brittle or less shiny? For some, it may not be a sudden change but rather a constant struggle with dry or breaking hair. An increase in dryness can be particularly problematic if we have highlights or colouring. The struggle only gets harder with age because our hair loses moisture and its texture changes as we grow older and wiser. Dealing with dryness is importance, as low hair moisture weakens our hair strands and increases the likelihood of breakage. In this blog, we are tackling all things dry hair and providing some quick and easy tips to manage it.
