Current obsession.....


Taking inspiration from the world’s style capitals, this year’s Pink Orchid Limited Edition from ghd takes cues from some of today’s hottest designers including Valentino, Balenciaga and Christopher Kane, who weaved magenta, rose and cerise shades through their sumptuous S/S collections. Working this season’s pink and black lace trend, this year’s eagerly anticipated ghd Pink limited edition features a sheer lace print layered over this seasons colour; hot orchid pink to create a super slick design.

And for the first time ever, this year’s Pink limited edition features the ghd Gold Series Classic styler with a sleek twist – styling plates that have been transformed into a vibrant shade of hot orchid pink – a style note from accessories shown at the House of Holland S/S catwalk show, which featured intense pink tones.

The pink plated styler glides through hair effortlessly - allowing better, lighter handling for all types of styling, easily creating the sort of looks that made ghd famous. Curls, waves, flicks and the perfect straight can easily be achieved with the styler’s rounded barrel.

Accompanying the pink plated styler, this year’s limited edition includes the ultimate accessory to compliment any super-stylish summer wardrobe. Versatile and sassy, the ghd Pink Orchid Limited Edition heat-resistant styler case / clutch bag is this season’s must-have item. The glam set also includes two ghd sectioning clips to make styling any look even easier, The Pink Orchid Limited Edition is set to be the most coverted styler yet, with £10 from every styler sold being donated to the amazing charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer. This will be the 8th year ghd and Breakthrough Breast Cancer have collaborated and in that time over £400,000 has been raised by ghd to go towards crucial funding and research carried out by the charity.

The new ghd Pink Orchid Limited Edition are available from Love Hair Love Beauty now priced at £129. £10 from each sale will be donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Ten beauty tips




Naomi Shimada started modelling after being discovered when she was just 13, but instead of feeling gorgeous (because she is!) she spent many of her teen modelling years worrying about her weight and size.

Now, almost ten years on she has emerged as a successful plus-size model who quite literally has her cake and eats it. Here, Naomi shares her tips on looking and feeling gorgeous no matter what your shape, size or colour.

1: Don't wear too much make-up...
"Don't wear too much make up, especially if you wear it just for the boys. Boys don't even like a lot of make up! For me, if I do my lips, I don't do my eyes. My make-up kit is pretty basic: cheek tint (which I use on my lips), eyeliner, mascara, a little bit of lipstick and some concealer. I don't wear eyeshadow as I find it hard to put on and then it won't stay on!"

2: ...and make sure you take it off!
"I always take my make up off – it's part of my skin care regime. No matter how tired I am I always take it off. I try not to use face wipes all the time, but I do make sure I always have some by my bed in case I need to crash out."

3: Embrace the fresh face
"For young skin, use a tinted moisturiser – don't wear foundation until you need to! Make sure you choose the right colours to match your skin tone. Always use SPF based make-up to help protect your skin. Embrace the fresh face!"

4: As for exercise...
"Find something you like to do. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. My thing is I love dancing and there are a million different types of dance. I'm lucky enough to live in London where there is any form of dance I could ever dream of so if I get bored of one I just try another one. Whether you like team sports or yoga - just try something new. Exercise doesn't have to mean running on a treadmill. In fact, that's my idea of hell!"

5: Get measured
"All good outfits start with good foundation wear, so get your underwear fitted! So many people wear the wrong bra size. You can't look good on the outside if you're wearing the wrong stuff on the inside. There is also amazing support underwear too – there is so much out there now that you can find anything you need to help you feel comfortable and to look your best."

6: Understand your shape
"Figure out what your best assets are and work them! For me, I know I can't wear low slung trousers because they just don't suit me. So I wear high-waisted ones to accentuate my curves and then mix them with crop tops. They hug my shape and support it."


7: Don't just follow trends
"I've never followed the trends that you see in every magazine – why would you want to look like everyone else? Look through old movies, old pictures, find things that inspire you like music, art, films – wear what you like. Clothes are an amazing thing – I'm not obsessed with high brands, I just wear what I like and that makes me feel like me."

8: Practice taking photos
"Practice in the mirror, find angles that work for you. It sounds silly, but sit up straight. All good pictures come from good posture! Also, think of something that makes you happy and that will project in the photograph."

9: Eat your fruit and veg
"Nobody looks good if they don't eat vegetables or fruit. Don't make eating them a chore, make it fun! Slice apples and keep them in your bag for if you're peckish or want a snack. See what is colourful when you go to the supermarket and make something pretty!

10: Be confident
"You can't project confidence and look your best unless you're really feeling it.
Only you can make yourself feel good. No matter what expensive clothes you have or hairdresser you go to, only you can pull yourself up and get yourself feeling good."

The simple way to a smooth new you

You must have heard that a non–invasive way of looking young is out. And yes, it does not involve surgery. It involves dermal filler.

This is be good news for people who want to look young but cringe at the thought of going under the knife. Who wouldn't?

The traditional procedure, if you look closely, leaves you with
Frankenstein – like stitches on the outlines of your face. Dermal fillers on the other hand give you instant results without having to worry with the complications of having your skin and muscles cut into pieces.
Dermal Filler on the other hand, makes you look younger with a more natural look. While you get a wind – swept look with the traditional face lift, dermal filler makes you look plump by filling the shrunk spaces in your cheeks, forehead, and other parts of the face. Do you notice that your face look better whenever you gain weight? That is what dermal filler will do. A natural or synthetic substance is injected under the skin to sweep away the sagging that is manifested above.

Another advantage of dermal filler is that it is done with a minor procedure. Although it involves injections, the procedure does not involve more than just that. And with dermal filler, you get instant results. You do not have to hide for days or weeks to show off a younger you. You can wear your dermal filler – enhanced face right after your appointment.

There are many types of dermal fillers on the market these days but we only use synthetically produced non-animal products consisting of hyaluronic acid which is a natural chemical constituent of the skin. The effects last up to 12 months.Jayne uses a product called Succev® Hyluronic Acid compensates for the decreasing hyluraonic acid that is naturally present in your body. Small quantities are injected into carefully targeted areas to help give facial features back their fullness, reduce wrinkles and increase lip volume.

Dermal fillers has been ever more popular recently with programs such as the only way is essex, The treatment is popular with both mean and women.

Sit back, Relax and watch the inches fall off!


"I did loose 3.5 cm and 4.5 cm on my last treatment so I'm extremely happy"

Friday 15th April was the day of my second and i-Lipo treatment and I decided to team the treatment up with a cellulite reduction session too (Ultra). I’m going to fill you in on a few bits i forgot to tell you about after my last session too.

So i am getting fitter with all the absolute fitness boot camp sessions and personal training sessions – however there are always stubborn areas which just won’t seem to go and I feel that if I exercised and dieted to the degree where they did go – there would be none of me left and I would be on a silly small amount of calories. This is something i-Lipo is great for. It can be used to help reduce the fat in targeted areas such as tummy, saddlebags, underneath of arms, under chin, hips and so on and I knew I wanted to see if I could reduce the excess weight that just won’t shift from my stomach.

I arrived for my ‘Lunch Time’ i-Lipo and firstly I was weighed and measured at 3 points on my stomach (as this was the area I was treating) after stripping to my knickers but leaving my top on. She covered my tattoos with plasters so the laser didn’t directly touch tattooed skin as for some people lasers easily remove some of the tattoo ink otherwise. I was told it was unlikely but better safe than sorry, She then placed the pads and carried out the 20 minute treatment.

After she had taken the pads off she then measured me again at the same 3 points. She has marked them with pen so I knew it was the same points. It was then worked out how many cm I had lost. Anyway… so I did loose 3.5 cm and 4.5 cm on my last treatment so im extremely happy –Still got another 6 sessions to go and today is the day of my next session.

After the i-Lipo treatment Jenna started on the Ultra cellulite reduction, I don’t really have any cellulite but wanted to work on the same area (my stomach) for Maximum results. So what exactly is the Ultra?

In a nutshell the Ultra incorporates vacuum massage and infra red skin tightening to target more stubborn fatty deposits, enhance lymphatic drainage and promote skin renewal. The vacuum massage action of the Ultra enhances the removal of released fat cell contents and by its suction action optimizes absorption of infra red laser in the dermis to promote collagen growth and enhance blood circulation in the area. The result is a slimmer, tighter and smoother looking skin.
Vacuum massage can also be used with i-Lipo laser treatment to help stimulate the lymphatic system and break down stubborn fat. Once i-Lipo has released the fat cell contents the post treatment Ultra can assist in removing released fat and promoting skin cell renewal and blood circulation for a healthier firmer skin and improving the appearance of cellulite.

I could see a difference after the first session my skin is saggy through loosing weight and it was amazing watching the skin be sucked up to the laser and my skin becoming tight. It’s great to see a treatment that actually works, I am really happy with my results. I’m still not brave enough to put my pictures on so i will do a before and after my 8 sessions.

I will let you know how i get on today.

See you soon

My i Lipo experience at Love Hair Love Beauty


I thought I'd drop a note to let anyone who may be interested know my own experience of i-Lipo. So here goes the long post......

Firstly I am 25 and a size 10/12. I have always had a problem with my stomach and would rarely wear anything tight as I was too paranoid about my bulge. No amount of time at the gym or time spent dieting would help it.
I had my consultation with Sammy one of our therapist she is patient and informative. She answered all my questions, showed me previous pictures of patients and in general made me feel very comfortable with the whole thing. I went ahead with my first treatment on Friday 9th April 2011. I had the pads place on my stomach as this is my problem area. For me this was lucnchtime lipo as the treatment only takes 20 minutes perfect!

Sammy measured me up before my treatment on the narrowist part of my stomach belly button and hips.The treatment was completlty pain free and i didn't feel a thing.
Sammy was fantastic throughout and constantly reassured more. After the treatment had been carried out Sammy then re-took my measurements... In only 20 minutes i'd lost 4.5 cm how AMAZING is that in 20 minutes literally laying on a bed doing nothing! :)

After my treatment i was advised to do 45 minutes excercise to get my heart rate pumping to burn off the fats and sugars that my fat cells had released. So off to the gym i went for a personal training session, you dont have to do the gym simply an exercise that gets your heart pumping is fine. If you do want a personal trainer i can recommend very good one!

I can clearly see results already and think once ive done the 8 recommended sessions I will be extremely happy with the results.

I will post my before and after pictures and maybe some videos at the end of my 8 sessions i have my next treatment on Friday 16th April so will let you know how that goes!

I hope this has been of some help to some of you out there and if you have any questions at all please let me know

i-Lipo - The intelligent alternative to liposuction

i-Lipo™ is the latest in laser lipolysis, offering you a way to achieve inch loss and body contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time.


How does it work?

The i-Lipo emits low levels of laser energy, which creates a chemical signal in the fat cells, breaking down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol and releasing them though channels in the cell membranes.  The fatty acids and glycerol are then transported around the body to the tissues that will use them during metabolism to create energy.  This process of fatty acid release is a natural response of the body when the body needs to used stored energy reserves, thus i-Lipo is not creating any unnatural reaction in the body nor does it affect or damage any surrounding structures such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves.  A period of exercise post treatment will ensure the complete metabolism and thus elimination from the body of the freed fatty acids.
Why i-Lipo?
The i-Lipo system has many advantages over other similar systems.
Here are just a few!

Clinically proven

Independent clincal studies have shown i-Lipo to be, in some cases, comparable to results achieved by liposuction. Ultrasound imagery shows up to 30% reduction in the fat layer depth after just one treatment. Additional treatments improve results further. Results can be seen immediately after each treatment as the fat cell contents are released. Light exercise post treatment can accelerate the removal of the released fat .

Affordable treatment

Compared to surgical liposuction and other Ultrasound or laser techniques i-Lipo is much more affordable with similar results.

Safe and Painless

i-Lipo uses low levels of visible red laser light to create a safe and painless bio-stimulation effect in the targeted fat tissue.  This stimulation is of the normal chemical pathways which the body uses to free up energy resources when required, so i-Lipo does not produce any abnormal effects in the body or damage body tissue such as cells, blood vessels or neighbouring nerves or vital organs.  The treatment can be performed on all skin types and body areas where unwanted fat is stored and you can return to normal activity immediately after treatment.

Immediate results

Results can be seen immediately after treatment. Typically a 2-4cm loss in abdomen circumference can be achieved with every treatment. A course of 8 treatments is recommended over 4 weeks with 2 treatments per week.

Targeted fat reduction

i-Lipo can target fat reduction in specific problem area. By positioning the laser pads on the target area such as chin, upper arms, abdomen or thighs fat can be broken down and removed specifically from that area. This is a big advantage over diet and exercise which can reduce overall body fat but not shape individual areas.

Amazing offer on i-:Lipo to all our customers:

3 Sessions of i-Lipo and 3 sessions of Cellulite Reduction Was £382.00 NOW ONLY £114.00 save a MASSIVE 70% call  01457 839 650 to book or book online at http://www.lovehairlovebeauty.com/
