WITH Christmas on everyone's radar, now we are in December, we are gearing up for what is always our busiest time of the year.

Preparing for the party season and making sure your hair is in as perfect condition as possible is paramount and it needs to be in tip top condition if there is a need for curling and twirling, knotting and hair tonging and everything else that goes with the perfect finish.

To help us with both skill sets and styles we sent Alicia and Katie to the Neal & Wolf Hair Academy in Preston to get new ideas for the festive period from short to long and they've come back with ideas a plenty for new styles and Christmas colours.

It is always amazing that ladies try and cut corners with their hair, from chopping at it themselves to using cheap shampoos and no conditioners. Yes we know there are costs attached but good products are a major factor of having good hair, how can you get big bouncy shiny hair without a good product? You simply can't! So our advice is take some advice and find out which treatments best suit your hair, everyone is different, some are greasy some are dry and frizzy and if you have had perm anywhere near your hair you need a really intensive conditioner. L’Oreal have always been right, WHY ..because you're worth it.

Apart from hair dressing and giving advice we also sell lots of different products which make ideal Christmas presents.

Our favourite product this month is the hold and shine spray from our Neal & Wolf range, this product gives texture hold and shine and it's brilliant for hair ups or curls, you can use it on wet or dry hair.

Going back to new ideas which are so simple to do at home, every women needs a good pair of electric tongues so I'd recommend the new cloudnine irons/ curlers which we supply.

Alicia Lomax, one of Noggis stylists who has worked there for the last three years, said: “There's no such thing as you can't do it but a bit of practice makes perfect and over Christmas we all want the perfect hair.

"Bouncy curls, fish tail plaits, hair buns are all in this season so why not come into Noggis for a hair up and let me show you some different techniques.”
