Don't we all dream of hair like that? Wild mane of locks, voluminous and thick: think Farah Fowcett in her best days! Unfortunately, most of us weren't blessed by Nature with thickness and volume; that's when Body Double comes in!
Body Double is a series of products developed by Sebastian Professional, including shampoo, conditioner, Sebastian thickefy styler, thick ends gelee, sprays and thickening treatments.
The experts at Sebastian Professional came up with patent pending technology called BondStyling: their thickening products don't coat the hair thus making it more heavy. Products bond with hair, interlocking with hair's natural elements to "transform texture and infuse thickness". Once I lay my hands on it I'll post a personal review on Hair Craft!

I found that video the other day and I think it sums up really well what I have been trying to tell the readers of Hair Craft: getting new hairstyle is a process! From making the decision on how you want your hair to look to choosing the best stylist. Listen to top UK stylists Trevor Sorbie's and Richard Ashcroft's opinion on a matter.

Simple, no? Research your new hairstyle, try to customize it and find a hairstylist you can trust! And don't forget to communicate clearly to your stylist what your new hairstyle should look like - thus minimizing a chance of getting a crop when you only asked for a trim!

The concept of cleansing conditioning was developed by Chaz Dean, LA hair stylist, in 1993.
Lathering, harsh detergents and sodium laurel/laureth sulphates found in most shampoos are damaging hair - most of us experience colour fading/stripping, dull, lifeless, frizzy and dry hair, dry scalps, oily scalps, scalp disorders, and hair loss. That's why Wen was created.
Wen is all about cleansing without detergents or harsh chemicals. Wen cleanses with astringent properties without lathering, while strengthening, adding sheen, lustre, moisture and manageability to the hair.
Wen is formulated with the perfect balance for all hair types and due to its high moisture content, it also performs amazingly on ethnic hair.
Does it work? - see yourself next time you're watching "Desperate Housewives" - Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman and Marzia Cross are big fans of Wen! If that recommendation is not enough, check out the locks on the likes of Janet Jackson, tyra Banks and Cameron Diaz!

Wen is available on ebay (UK) from £9.59 plus postage.

Want to eliminate all bad hair days? According to German scientists, a solution to the problem of unruly hair could be right around the corner, FoxNews.com reports.
Scientists in Germany have been taking a close-up look at the way in which hair fibers interact in hopes of creating a product to eliminate bad hair days - indefinitely.
In the study, scientists used a sample of female Caucasian hair to find out why hair feels soft or rough to the touch and how hair reacts when it is exposed to products such as shampoo, conditioner and gels and other hair care products. The study also found that damage to hair causes scaly projections to protrude from hair fibres which, in turn, creates friction with other fibres to make hair feel rough and difficult to brush or comb.
"There are several changes that take place at the same time when hair is exposed to hair care products, and it will help greatly to understand which of those changes is crucial for optimizing hair care,"said one of the scientist taking part in the study .

So, are the bad hair days counted? The future of our hair is in scientists' hands!

Braids are one of most popular hair trends in 2008. So if are bored with your ponytail or want to give your old up do a new twist braid might be just the thing you're after!

You want need any special salon tools to pull that one off, all you need is a brush and two hands! Some people with curly or very long hair might find it easier to braid hair when it's slightly damp.
Making a Dutch braid other known as French braid, is easier than it seems. To achieve "hair crown":

1. Divide a small section of hair where you want the braid to start into three even sections and comb them over.
2. Cross the sections as when making a normal braid and pull them to tighten the braid.
3. Using the pointed end of a rat tail comb, lift a small section of hair on the right by drawing a line against the scalp from the hairline to the middle of the braid.
4. Add the new section of hair to the existing section on the right and then cross it over the middle section; tighten the plait.
5. Repeat that but on the opposite side.
6. Continue the process alternating right and left sections over the middle section, tightening each plait as you make it, until you reach the hairline. Secure the end of the braid with a hair-safe ponytail holder or continue weaving a normal braid to the ends of the hair.

Katie Holmes has shortened her bob to a new pixie crop,taking her hair style one step shorter.
Hair that short won't suit everyone - if you ever even considered chopping off all your locks, now is definitely the time - the crop is high on the list of 2008's hair trends and will probably stay long enough to see it through 2009 as well.

If Katie Holmes' hairstyle shows us anything, it's how much of a difference styling can make to the crop. In 2008, it's best with a bit of length that can be messed up and tousled a bit - in the guise of effortless, boyish bed-hair. You only need to look at the following photos to see how much less effective the crop is when unstyled.
