The hair colour of the season?! 🍒🍫
The autumn obsession has entered the HQ and Lucie, our CEO, has been the first to jump on an autumn hair trend. It's the talk of the socials & our office! 🍒🍫 Lucie is a natural brunette and strays away from bleach, which is why the cherry cola red trend is perfect for her, but majority of our viewers have other opinions on it! We are loving her subtle sophisticated take on the cherry cola trend, and it is exactly what Lucie asked for but one person commented on our Reel "girl you got brown", another commented "they left the cherry out". However, amongst the clearly professional hairdressers and colourists in our comments, there are the ones who love it just as much as we do! Cait stuck up for us saying "so do you think cherry cola is bright red or something?". Yes Cait, that's exactly what it seems! Kazia also commented "why do I now want my hair this colour", umm because it's perfect for autumn!? Are we missing something here, does Lucies hair not have a red tint to it? It’d be interesting to see if anyone wants to share their interpretations of Cherry Cola Red hair. Let us know what you think on our Reel <3 Lots of love, Lillian xoxo

Hairsyrup takes on Cardiff Half 🏃♂️🐝🏅
On Sunday, October 6th, seven of the team from the Hairsyrup HQ took on the Cardiff Half Marathon. It was an unforgettable day. The office is buzzing with achievement so I wanted to share how proud I am of them all! As the newbie of the team, I was too late to sign up for the half marathon but wanted to show my support and cheer them on and they SMASHED it! Katè absolutely flew ahead, finishing in an impressive 2:09. Watching her zoom by was incredible. Lucy, who had just completed her first 10k a couple of weekends ago (unknowingly might I add). She really gave it her all. It was so heartwarming to see Phoebe running alongside her, hand in hand, pushing her to keep going. They were an amazing duo finishing at 02.27. Kev pushed through and finished at an incredible 02.32. He had an emotional finnish helping a fellow runner get over the finnish line with him. Then there was George—he sped past me so fast that I didn’t see him! It was clear he was on a mission and nothing was going to slow him down. George finished at an incredible 03.08. Our fearless CEO, Lucie, who didn’t train at all (and felt it), powered through in her trusty Fila stompers. Her determination was truly inspiring and made me have major FOMO. Unfortunately, Adam had to stop halfway due to a knee injury, but he still made it further than many could. We were cheering him on, and he did an amazing job getting as far as he did. I’m so unbelievably proud of everyone for stepping out of their comfort zones and pushing through. Here’s to more adventures! 🎉🏃♀️🏃♂️

The Buzz Around "It Ends with Us" and Blake Lively's Enviable Hair: Tips for Protecting Bleached Locks
The much-anticipated movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel It Ends with Us has finally hit the screens, and while the film itself is generating plenty of buzz, it's Blake Lively's stunning long locks that has social media in a frenzy. Known for her effortlessly gorgeous golden locks, Blake once again underwent a dramatic hair change, bleaching her hair to embody the character of Lily Bloom. This isn’t the first time Blake has altered her hair for a role, but it’s clear that her new look has sparked a wave of "hair envy" across platforms like Instagram and TikTok. But as anyone who has ever bleached their hair knows, achieving and maintaining that perfect blonde shade comes with its own set of challenges. Bleaching can be incredibly damaging, leading to dryness, breakage, and an overall decline in hair health if not managed properly. Thankfully, with the right products and a solid haircare routine, you can keep your bleached hair looking as fabulous as Blake’s—even if you don’t have a Hollywood glam squad at your disposal. Here are some expert tips and product recommendations to help you protect and nourish your hair, whether you’re following in Blake’s blonde footsteps or simply maintaining your own unique shade. 1. Invest in a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask One of the most crucial steps in any bleached hair care routine is deep conditioning. Bleaching strips the hair of its natural moisture, leaving it vulnerable to breakage and split ends. To combat this, consider investing in a high-quality deep conditioning hair mask that will help restore moisture and strengthen your strands. Two standout options are the Ouai Treatment Hair Mask and the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask. Both of these products are formulated to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft, delivering much-needed hydration and nourishment. Regular use—at least once a week—can help keep your hair soft, shiny, and resilient, even after multiple bleaching sessions. 2. Pre-Wash Hair Oils: A Game-Changer for Bleached Hair Before you even step into the shower, consider treating your hair to a pre-wash oil treatment. This step can add an extra layer of nourishment to your hair and target specific haircare concerns that can sometimes come with bleaching. If your hair is dry, brittle, or prone to breakage, try the Hair Syrup Vitamin C Me. This product is specifically designed to combat the dryness and fragility that often accompanies bleached hair. If your scalp is dry, itchy, or flaky—another common issue with frequent bleaching—then the Hair Syrup Mint Condition is a perfect choice. For those with bleached hair that needs an overall boost, the Hair Syrup Scalp Superfoods is tailored to nourish and rejuvenate both the hair and scalp. 3. Use Healthy Hair Tools The tools you use on your hair can make a significant difference in its overall health, especially when your hair is bleached and more susceptible to damage. Simple switches like using scrunchies instead of traditional hair ties can reduce breakage, as scrunchies are typically made from softer materials that are gentler on your hair. Another game-changer is switching to a satin pillowcase. Satin is much smoother than cotton, which means less friction while you sleep. This can help reduce tangling and breakage, leaving your hair looking smoother and healthier in the morning. 4. Regular Trims Are Essential Even with the best care, bleached hair is prone to split ends and breakage. Regular trims are essential to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy. While it might be tempting to skip trims to maintain length, cutting off damaged ends will actually help your hair grow longer and stronger in the long run. 5. Consider Non-Heat Alternatives Heat styling tools like straighteners and curling irons can cause additional stress to already fragile bleached hair. To protect your strands, try to reduce the use of these tools as much as possible. When you do use them, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. For those looking to ditch the heat altogether, non-heat styling tools like heatless curlers can be a fantastic alternative. These tools can create beautiful curls or waves without exposing your hair to damaging high temperatures. Blake Lively’s transformation for It Ends with Us has undoubtedly sparked a new wave of hair inspiration, but it's essential to remember the importance of proper care for bleached hair. By incorporating these tips and products into your routine, you can maintain healthy, strong, and enviably gorgeous hair—just like Blake’s—while enjoying your new look.

How to care for your hair like an Olympian
As the world eagerly watches the Paris 2024 Olympics, athletes from around the globe are preparing to showcase their incredible talents and dedication. While much attention is paid to their physical prowess and training regimes, one aspect often overlooked is the impact of rigorous athletic activities on their hair. Tight slick back hairstyles, the use of compressed swimming hats, and exposure to chlorine are just some of the problems the hair can incur for athletes. This issue isn't limited to just olympian hopefuls though; everyday sports enthusiasts also face similar challenges. So let’s explore how athletes can protect their hair and the importance of including pre-wash hair oils to maintain healthy locks. These tips are beneficial not just for elite competitors but for anyone leading an active lifestyle. The Hair Struggles of Athletes Tight Hairstyles: Athletes often resort to tight braids, buns, or ponytails to keep their hair out of their faces during training and competitions. While practical, these styles can lead to traction alopecia, a condition caused by excessive tension on the hair shafts. Over time, this could result in hair thinning and loss around the hairline. Under Hat Hair: Many sports require the use of helmets, caps, or other headgear. Prolonged wear can trap sweat and oils against the scalp, leading to conditions like scalp acne or fungal infections or just excessive sebum production. Additionally, the friction between hair and headgear can cause breakage and split-ends. Chlorine Exposure: Swimmers, in particular, face the challenge of chlorine-damaged hair. Chlorine strips the hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. It can also alter the hair’s colour, especially for those with chemically treated hair. Everyday Sportsperson: Hair Care Essentials Just like Olympians, everyday athletes need to give their hair the TLC it deserves. Here’s how using a pre-wash hair oil can make a significant difference: Strengthen the Hair: Pre-wash hair oils can help fortify the hair shaft, making it more resilient against damage from tight hairstyles and headgear. Prevent Breakage and Split-Ends: Pre-wash oils can create a protective barrier around the hair, reducing friction and preventing future split-ends and breakage. Protect Against Excess Sweat Production: Excessive sweating can disrupt the natural ph balance of the scalp, leading to issues like dandruff and scalp irritation. Pre-wash oils help maintain can help to clarify and detoxify the scalp leading to a clear, fresh head. Application Tips for Pre-Wash Hair Oil ● Choose the Right Oil: Select an oil that suits your specific hair type. For example, our Rapunzel oil is great for anyone who finds that their is stubborn and refuses to grow, while our Lemonaid oil is perfect for greasy prone, oily scalps. ● Apply Generously: Massage the oil into your scalp and work it through the lengths of your hair. For best results, leave it on for at least an hour before washing out and double cleansing with shampoo. ● Consistency is Key: Incorporate pre-wash oil treatments into your routine at least once a week. Regular use will yield the best results in terms of strength, moisture, and overall hair health. As we all stare in awe of the olympians battling it out in Paris, it's essential to remember that athletes' hair needs protection and care, just like their bodies. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a general fitness enthusiast, taking steps to protect your hair from the rigours of physical activity is crucial. Incorporating a pre-wash hair oil into your routine can help to strengthen the hair, prevent damage, and promote healthy growth. So, give your hair the care it deserves and keep it as strong and resilient as you are.
