Pay R165 for a Studio 59 Special at Studio 59, valued at R550 (save 70%)

Like a puppy that chews holes in your furniture or a cat that playfully attacks your face while you’re sleeping, your hair sometimes pulls shenanigans on you for no good reason. Though your hair won’t be ripping the curtains up anytime soon, sometimes it manages to tie itself up in knots a sailor would be proud of or get itself greasy enough to fry chips in; whatever the issue, it’s usually just a cry for attention. Give your hair the care it’s looking for and put a stop to its tomfoolery with a wash, cut, treatment and colour from Studio 59 for R165.

Some things just defy human understanding, like how the pyramids were created and whether the aliens really did give us Velcro. Another thing is why having your hair washed by someone else feels so much better than when you do it yourself; maybe it’s the salon-quality products or the fact that their wash could double as a head-massage. Either way, once your follicles have been scrubbed and pampered, flip through a few glossies and decide which do will best tame your troublesome tresses. With a few trained flicks of the scissors, the highly-trained stylists can create whatever style you want.

Once you’ve been kitted out with a chic new do, ensure its continued flair and panache with a treatment to keep it shiny, glossy and luxurious enough to feature in hair-commercials. Of course, no directors are going to be approaching you if your colour is flatter than a sarcastic punch-line, so add some flair and verve with a brand new colour; whether you go for fire-engine red, spicy brunette or strawberry-blonde, even the models on the boxes of supermarket hair-dye will look dishwater-dull in comparison.

If by the end of your pampering and total tonal-overhaul your hair is still full of high-jinks, know that you have 50% discount on a Brazilian blow-dry to keep it sleek, flowing and under control.

Trend-setting Fact: Through a rather unfortunate accident, hairstylists at New York Fashion Week created a totally new hairstyle. When one of the stylists tripped while carrying a plate of snacks, the plate of cupcakes landed on one of the models, covering her tresses in icing and crumbs. As they had no time to clean her up before her run on the catwalk, she went as-is and the covered-in-food look became an instant hit.
