Britannia rules the WAVES
We’re in the mood to celebrate all things British – so join us for a super-special issue.
With the eyes of the world on the UK this summer, we’ve never felt more proud to be a British brand. Here at Kebelo we want to play our part in showcasing the best of British heritage, style, fashion and hair innovation, so we hope you enjoy this issue’s shoot on Clapham Common, with its swinging 60s-style fashion. Make even more of this summer of fun with some essential accessories – we’ve selected our favourites for you to peruse! – and if you’re considering a style shift in time for the celebrations, take inspiration from the stars as we study their stunning colour choices.
If you’d prefer a full makeover, however, we may be able to oblige; just enter our competition on page 19 and like lucky Michelle, you too could be celebrating a whole new you. Enjoy!
It’s a sexy SUMMER AHEAD
It’s goodbye to Brazilian blowdry treatments and Keratin straightening formulas. 21st century hair is all about having that healthy ‘look-atme’ bounce. That’s where Kebelo Advantage comes in. The radical smoothing system is bringing sexy back and you with it.
Hands-up if you have hair that is unruly, frizzy or simply hard to manage? You’re not alone. In over 300 women that we surveyed, an astonishing 86% said that was how they would describe their hair. It makes for dismal reading.
Now hands-up those who also look in envy at the few-and-farbetween women with silky locks and ‘knock ’em dead’ colour. Yes – that’s us included. There’s just something about stunning, shiny hair that is inherently attractive and shouts ‘sexiness’. We want!
But how do you get it? Up to now straighteners and keratin formulas have been the only answer, but they, of course, bring their own problems. It’s why we’ve been working hard to create a unique product like Kebelo Advantage. Once you discover it, your dreams will come true. An amazing smoothing formula, it is aimed at women who care about the health of their hair – and not just the end result.
Like no other products out there, the in-salon foundation treatment goes to the very root (pun intended) of the problem. Its innovative carbocysteine technology fills out and strengthens damaged bonds deep inside each hair strand, healing from within and leaving it healthy and strong. It means you are left with smooth, manageable, unbelievable hair and the frizz is gone.
And the best bit about Advantage? Smooth, silky hair is achieved within just one hour, at an affordable price, and it lasts for an incredible 100 days. Now that’s a true advantage we can all lust after.
3 advantages of ADVANTAGE
Kebelo spent 18 months creating the first ever longterm smoothing system and, in the process, gained a reputation for innovation, safety and creativity. Now they have pioneered a new treatment which has three distinct benefits not found elsewhere…
1
TIME: It only takes one hour to complete. Thanks to the new dispersion technology, the entire application process is quicker, easier and more enjoyable.
2
COLOUR: You can apply colour directly after your Kebelo System treatment. As it gets to work laying a foundation deep inside the hair, it gives your new colour a vibrancy like never before.
3
AFFORDABLE: You will get shiny, frizz-free, easy-to-manage hair from just £99, and that includes over £50 worth of after-care. It amounts to just £1 a day to keep the frizz away!
YOUNG, BRITISH and proud
Hang out your bunting, for there’s no better place to be this summer than the UK. As a quintessentially British brand, we’re in full celebratory mood, too, and have taken inspiration for our fashion shoot from London. Known as a creative hub for hairdressers and stylists, the Capital’s streets were our location as we recreated some of the classic looks Britain is known for.

SILK on the beach
Sun, sea and sand are normally the curse of every good hairstyle. But this holiday, we have the key to perfect summer styling – wherever you are. Pack a bottle of Kebelo SILK and you’ll be positively shining.
For many of us, days on the beach mean scoring zero in the style awards. Of course, we’d all love to stride out of the sea, like a glamazon – every hair in place, limbs glistening, stunning from head to toe. But the reality for most of us is often far from this scene.
In truth, hair is tangled, dried-out and saltdamaged. Not a pretty sight. But we have the perfect solution in one little bottle of Kebelo SILK.
Apart from being the most advanced three-day anti-frizz product, Kebelo SILK has many additional bene�its and can be used in a variety of ways.
It can be used on wet hair, after shampooing. You simply apply SILK through your hair and then blowdry. Hair is left smooth, shiny and feels weightless. For a really knock-out, glossy effect, you can also use the product on dry hair before using �lat irons. What’s more, for an extra boost, you can also apply SILK when on the beach, or laying by the pool.
SILK has a unique blend of hydrolyzed keratin, organic quinoa protein, argan and jojoba oils that deeply penetrate to repair, protect and improve the hair’s condition, shine and �inish. It even has colour-lock technology and, with the most advanced cationic conditioners, it protects hair from all the elements and heat damage. Now that’s what we call one summer to remember.
SHADES OF summer
As the stars prove, sexy summer hair is all about subtle, multi-tonal colour.
All good stylists know that a perfect mane starts with glossy, cared-for hair. Whether you’re looking to add a few summery highlights or go for an all-over colour, the results will always be better if you’ve treated your tresses to the Kebelo System beforehand. Its carbocysteine technology helps to tame the hair, filling out damaged or uneven strands and providing a smoother surface for your colour to cling to. With the perfect base, your colour can shine brighter… and last longer.
Kate Winslet’s colour is a masterclass in blonde. A mid-blonde base colour is complemented by lighter tones on top and her soft-waves give an English Rose effect.
Leona Lewis’ stunning, poker-straight locks are a combination of fabulous shades. Good conditioning has ensured her hair shines with health and has taken the applied colours really well.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s glossy mane is fastbecoming her trademark, admired worldwide for its tip-top condition. A few super-subtle tonal changes add depth and lift to her colour.
Holly Willoughby’s knockout blonde locks, styled in Hollywood waves, are pure old-school glamour and suit her so well. This style permits a little regrowth – it adds edge to a classic look.
Cheryl’s tousled ‘do is a mixture of gorgeous shades, blended beautifully. Subtle highlights gently lift her overall colour to create a natural-looking result.

TOTALLY DEVOTED to you
A Kebelo makeover stops the clock and makes one lady feel like a teenager again …
“ So there I was, sitting in my hairdressers waiting for my appointment. I’d managed to squeeze it in between leaving work, picking up the kids and shuttling them off to their various afterschool activities. Like always, I was anxiously clock-watching. It was then that I spotted the Kebelo magazine and saw the competition to win a makeover. ‘What have I got to lose?’ I thought. ‘I deserve a treat.’ And entered. I forgot all about it, of course, until surprise, surprise, I received my invite to be ‘made-over’ and ‘made up.’I was.
… then it's onto the highlights …
… followed by brown all-over colour
MY KEBELO MAKEOVER DAY …
After having my Advantage treatment, we go straight into the haircut …
“Like many working mums, I’m really busy. I am what others might describe as a person who knows how to fill their day, I have very little time to spend on my hair, which I happen to have a lot of. It is unbelievably thick, which isn’t necessarily a good thing as it needs a lot of time spent on it to look half-way decent. And that’s one thing I am short on.
“I had a full consultation and was asked what my dream style would be. I wanted something youthful and something that required the minimum of fuss, because of my hectic lifestyle.
“With unruly and unmanageable hair, I can never achieve anything like the look I get after visiting a salon. I thought that the prospect of actually having a style which made me feel rejuvenated all sounded too good to be true.
“My treatment started off with the Kebelo Advantage, which took about an hour. When I first felt my hair, which normally feels like coarse hay, I was already in nirvana. It was extremely soft and I couldn’t believe how the texture had been completely transformed.
“Then came the cut. As the feel of my hair had changed, it fell differently, which meant that I could have gorgeous layers cut into my hair (something I’d always lusted after) before adding subtle highlights which accentuated my new style. It was then finished off with a softer brown all-over colour. The whole effect made me feel and look so young. I hadn’t felt like this since I was a teenager.
“The entire day was such a wonderful experience, but yet, the best was yet to come. I wanted stylish hair that I could easily manage, and that is what I got. Over the following days, my hair remained ‘salon-styled’. It put a spring in my step again, not to mention a bounce in my hair.
… then wash out the dye and a last blow dry ” WIN A MAKEOVER WITH THE KEBELO TEAM! Do you fancy a makeover like Michelle, getting the style and hair you have always wanted?

Smooth TALKER
I have not had my hair cut for over a year. It is really long and very damaged. Will Kebelo be able to repair it?
We would suggest first of all cutting your hair. Once the ends are damaged and beginning to break, there are only superficial fixes available. A good stylist will recognise this and advise you to have the ends cut. Kebelo is all about creating the perfect foundation on which beautiful hair can grow. So, once you’ve had a good trim, then you will definitely benefit from the amazing condition that Kebelo will give to it. You’ll notice a huge difference.
Who is SILK aimed at?
Everyone can benefit from using SILK and it’s very user friendly. Here are some top tips on how to get the very best from the product:
Shampoo and condition hair. For optimum results use the Kebelo Revitalising or Enriching aftercare.
Kebelo’s creative director, Aeron Beckett, answers all your questions on Kebelo. From years of experience, he gives some insider tips on how to get the best out of your hair and how Kebelo is suited to everyone.
Towel-dry your hair.
Apply the suggested amount of SILK onto your hair. Work it into the ends and then up towards the scalp and root area. Massage through, comb and style.
Now blow-dry, using medium or full heat.
To really pump the SILK into your hair, use a flat iron, round tong or wand after drying. This will maximise the three-day smoothing effect. Remember that there is a thermal protector in the product to help avoid damage from heat styling.
How much SILK should I use?
Over time, you will determine how much you need to use according to your hair type, but generally:
If you have fine hair, use three pumps.
Medium hair should use three to four pumps and thick hair should use four to five.
Use SILK to protect your hair from the salt in sea water. It’s the perfect solution!”
AERON BECKETT KEBELO
How soon can I shampoo after having a Kebelo treatment?
Your hair will be shampooed in the salon as part of the treatment, so you’ll walk out afterwards looking and feeling fabulous. If you feel like swimming the same day as your Kebelo, that’s fine too! Your hair will still be beautifully smooth and glossy.
I had my colour done (an all over tint with some highlights) two weeks ago but I would love to have a Kebelo before I go on holiday in a few weeks time. Is this advisable?
Ideally, we would suggest that you have the Kebelo before your colour but two weeks after would be fine. Remember Kebelo works from within the hair, underneath colour, so you may even get a few extra lovely tones through your hair.
Why is having a colour better after a Kebelo? Kebelo evens the porosity of the hair from roots to ends
and conditions the hair all the way through. It means that colour holds so much better, and that shine is increased. When hair is dry and brittle, the colour washes out quickly. Having a Kebelo treatment first will add endless benefits to your hair.
I’m going away on holiday and I’ve always avoided getting my hair wet.
But now I’ve had a Kebelo treatment, can I get my hair wet in the sea?
Kebelo works deep inside the hair so salt water will not disturb the treatment as such. However, salt water does dry the hair out so use SILK for extra nourishment and protection. The same rule applies to chlorine in the pool.
I have Afro hair. Can I use Kebelo?
Yes, you can. It’s actually a lot better for Afro hair than many other straightening systems.
Don’t leave home WITHOUT ONE
Wherever you are off to this summer, don’t let the heat go to your head. Take Kebelo with you for super smooth hair. After all, our products are all designed to let you keep that salon look.
