Zen and the art of running fingers through your hair
by Nilma Dole
What do Juliane Moore, Heather
Graham, Kirsten Dunst have in common with their hair?
Who does Linda Evangelista call when she needs a hairdo before she
walks on the international fashion ramp?
Whose hair products does Keira Knightley swear by?
The answer to the questions is Jamal Hammadi, one the best hair care
experts in the world. On his official website, www.hamadibeauty.com,
Jamal explains that his philosophy on hair care is to create scents with
textures that have a rather rich diversity which is Calfornian.
“But most of all, it’s important to remember that hair is so much of
an emotional thing, a seemingly small detail that is essential to our
well-being” he said.
According to official hair verdict, Jamal Hammadis salon is one of
the best in Los Angeles.
Speaking about his biggest break as a professional hair stylist,
Jamal said, “When Louis Licar introduced me to Linda Evangelista in the
early 90s, Linda flew me to London to do the cover of British Vogue.
Simultaneously, Lisa Marie Presley asked if I would do her hair for an
interview but she didn’t mention it was the Diane Sawyer interview with
her and Michael Jackson”. He added, “At the time I think that was the
most viewed interview. Shortly after that, Sharon Stone flew me to Paris
to do the cover of Vanity Fair and it was lovely”.
Hammadi is a genius at fixing damaged, badly cut hair into
red-carpet-worthy shape in no time with intensive, customized
conditioning treatments and perfect face-framing cuts. Hes also the
reason Drew Barrymores hair looks sensational including the various
covers she did for magazines like InStyle.
In addition to testing his techniques and products on actresses and
not animals, Jamal has started creating awareness around the world with
a motto revolved around beauty with a conscience. On a larger scale, it
means being more environmentally involved.
With Sunsilk, Jamal has co-created the Black Shine hair product to
help in giving us girls luscious black locks with lustre and bounce.
Hammadi’s highlights:
1. Brushing you hair is a good idea
2. Get plenty of moisture in your system by drinking water
3. Try to be natural as possible by eating vegetable and fruits
4. Evolve to new hair styles and not just the old 70s and 80s looks
5. Respect your body |
