For silky smooth hair: BRAZILIAN KERATIN TREATMENT
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is the latest hair trend favoured by celebrities for long-lasting sleek and straight hair.
Latest 7’s Natasha put the treatment to the test before facing the humidity (read frizz) of Cyprus for her wedding: “This treatment has absolutely transformed my hair. Years of blow drying and straightening my naturally wavy, frizzy hair have taken their toll and after having the Brazilian Keratin Treatment my hair has looked glossy, silky and smooth. It has dramatically cut down the time it takes to get ready in the morning as it’s perfectly straight after a quick five-minute blast with the hairdryer! It is completely worth the money – I absolutely love it and am totally hooked!”
“Like many things in life there is a choice in quality and success is often imitated; the product I use is the best available from Brazil and I can say the product I use produces the best results for your hair and is formaldehyde free,” says Brazilian specialist Susany Maria.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is different to the many hair straightening treatments currently available: it’s cheaper, can be performed on any hair type, and most importantly, it actually
helps to improve damaged hair.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a temporary method of hair straightening. After about three to four months your hair will lose about 50 per cent of straightness but it will stay in a very good condition, and every time you have the treatment it will improve the condition of your hair further.
The treatment blends in with the natural growth of your hair and unlike other forms of hair straightening it doesn’t use chemicals to open and close the hair cuticles; this is because the main ingredient within the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is keratin – a natural substance.
If your hair has seen better days and you are desperately looking for something that will bring the life, strength and durability back into it then Brazilian Keratin Treatment is exactly what you need.

To combat signs of ageing: Freeze 24-7
Freeze 24-7 launched in Brighton’s Debenhams this summer and it is officially our new favourite skincare product. Put simply: it’s ‘botox in ten minus’ without the injection! Celeb fans include Hollywood starlets Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz and Katie Holmes.
The product range includes Freeze & Go (an instant smoother & brightener), the Instant Targeted Wrinkle Treatment, and Skin Glace, a unique cleanser and mask in one.
“The face cleanser was great – you only need a small amount, and it can also be used as a face mask,” says the Wave beauty team. “It left my skin feeling soft and rehydrated. With the anti-wrinkle treatment again you only need a small amount – you can actually feel the skin tighten after it’s applied. I’m not sure my wrinkles have completely disappeared but my skin is looking a lot healthier!”
The Freeze 24-7 range costs £40-£60. Available from Debenhams.
