THREE LITTLE WORDS
There’s 3 little words that every women wants to hear when describing their hair
- Volume, Strength and Shine. It’s what every woman wants – hair with a natural
bounce that looks incredibly healthy. Here are some great ideas to get the hair
you’ve always wanted...
VOLUME
• Choosing the right products is essential when you want to add volume. Think of your
hairstyle like a building – you must have a solid foundation if you want to add height and
make your style last. Do this by applying a body building product to damp hair. Always
make sure you apply your product directly onto your roots to give style extra support.
• When you dry your hair, angle the section of hair you are drying in the opposite direction
to where you eventually want it to fall. This gives maximum volume at the roots.
• An instant way to give your hair volume is to flip your parting to the other side – go on,
try it, it really works!
• When wet hair is tangled, take care not to pull at the
knots too much as this will stretch your hair and cause
breakage. Instead, after using conditioner, start combing
the ends of your hair with a wide tooth comb and
slowly work towards the roots.
• It is really important to keep a healthy moisture level in
your hair at all times as hair in bad condition will be dry,
brittle and liable to breakage. Just as you would use a
face mask when your skin is dry, use a regular conditioning
treatment to boost the moisture levels in your hair.
Leave the treatment on for upwards of 20 minutes to
enable it to nourish deep within each strand and always
make sure you rinse it out thoroughly before styling as
normal.

“It is really important to keep a

condition will be dry, brittle
and liable to breakage.
SHINE
• If you want to add an instant shine
boost to your hair, then turn the water
temperature down for your final rinse
after shampooing and conditioning. This
helps to close the cuticles on each hair,
leaving it with a beautiful natural shine.
• When blow drying, use your hairdryer
on a medium heat, and point the nozzle
of your dryer down the hair, from roots
to ends. This stops any frizz and flyaways,
and helps to keep those cuticles
tightly packed.
• If you still need a little help, then a shine
spray will do the trick. When using any
shine product, the secret is not to use
too much; if you use too much, your hair
can quickly look wet or greasy. For best
results, spray Shine Spray into the air
and walk under the mist – this gives an
even shine result without ever weighing
your hair down.

133 new homes to rent from Hull City Council get the go-ahead
Hull City Council’s Cabinet yesterday (19 December) approved plans to continue
with the development of new council homes at Dane Park, whilst also agreeing to
build additional new homes on a site at nearby Isledane. Cabinet has also agreed
to procure a delivery partner to enable more new council homes to be built in the
coming years, in line with the council’s Housing Growth Plan.
Planning consents for 99 affordable homes at Dane Park and 34 at Isledane were
given in 2021. However owing to a difficult economic operating environment, an
increased budget for the 133 modern, new affordable homes has been agreed. The
£28.5M investment from the council will help transform the area, replacing the redundant
brownfield sites with modern, attractive, new homes and in well-designed
neighbourhoods with public open space and sustainable forms of drainage. Subject
to viability, these new homes will help the council to meet the rising demand for affordable
housing following the COVID-19 pandemic This investment will also create
new jobs and training for local people.
Cabinet also agreed that the council would continue its small sites programme,, but
only where viability and best value are evidenced. Over the last two years, the council
built 39 bungalows on sites which, for example, had formerly been blocks of garages.
A priority for the Council is lowering carbon emissions and the delivery of new affordable
homes will see a fabric first approach adopted to ensure energy demand is
reduced whilst also exploring other technologies to heat homes.
Commenting on the Cabinet’s decisions, Cllr Jan Loft. Portfolio Holder for Housing
and Homelessness, said, “Dane Park and Isledane are strategically important
brownfield development sites. Both sites are fully designed with planning consent
in place and will provide 133 new homes which are much needed in the area. The
design itself seeks to reduce carbon emissions through a fabric first approach and
looking to introduce other technology to lower carbon emissions whilst keeping energy
bills down. Our next steps will be to procure a lead developer partner to enable
a long term approach to delivering affordable homes across the city.”
