The Best Hair Styles of 2014

The Duchess of Cambridge's enviable long brunette waves have beaten Beyonce and Kim Kardashian's styled manes to be named Britain's most wanted hairstyle.

Hairdressers take note, Kate Middleton has beaten Beyonce and Kim Kardashian to be crowned queen of hair.
Most women want Kate's long glossy, never-out-of-place brunette waves over Beyonce's always-changing do and Kim Kardashian's honey-coloured, straightened mane. 
A fifth (19 per cent) of the women surveyed by promotionalcodes.org.uk picked the Duchess of Cambridge's well groomed style but Beyonce came a close second with 16 per cent of the vote.
 One respondent said: “Kate Middleton has beautiful hair. I’m sure she has her off days but we never see her without a hair out of place. Her hair looks great loose or in an elaborate up-do. I’d give anything to have hair like hers.



”Beyonce mixes up her style, performing with wild blonde curls but appearing on the red carpet with smooth, straight locks. The women who chose the Single Ladies singer's hair, pointed out her hair's natural curl, versatility and movement. One of the women polled noted: “Beyonce’s hair always looks good – whether tied up or left bouncing around her shoulders. It always looks so healthy.”



Reality TV star Kim, who has recently lightened her inky mane, was close behind with 15 per cent of the vote, with the respondents commenting on how polished her 'do always appears. It seems British tastes are changing, with blonde celebrities predominating in the second half of the most-envied hair list. Even Holly Willoughby's bouncy pale golden layers only clinched her fourth place.



And Jennifer Aniston, whose choppy layered cut practically defined a decade, no longer inspires copy-cuts as she came in at sixth with just nine per cent of the vote.



Kelly Brook's bum has been voted the best in Britain but when it comes to her hair we're less keen on imitating her elegant waves which are only the fifth most envied.
The Voice judge Kylie Minogue's new shoulder-length look is the seventh most wanted hair and Abbey Clancy's tumbling highlighted strands inspire less admiration than her Strictly dance moves to bring her in at eighth.


Louise Martin, spokeswoman for PromotionalCodes.org.uk, said: “There’s one thing all these women have in common – and that’s great hair.

“They all have beautiful natural locks, full of bounce, vitality and natural shine. Of course they have a team of stylists at their disposal but you can’t take away the fact that their crowning glory turns us green with envy.”

Rapture 2014

“Lose yourself” rap superstar is set to rapture South Africa in the coming months.




Marshall Bruce Mathers lll, known as Eminem AKA Slim Shady is headed to South Africa for the first time ever to deliver his signature style of rap at two concerts as part of his Rapture 2014 tour. 
One show will sound off in Cape Town and another will bring Johannesburg to their knees. 




The Rapture 2014 tour will feature Slim Shady’s lyrical genius along with the hip-hopper’s personally handpicked selection of top established and up-and-coming artists. 
These supporting acts will share the stage with the superstar for what is billed to be “a game-changing hip-hop event”. The line-up for the South African leg of the tour has yet to be announced but promises to thrill the crowds hunger for music.

Based on his verbal skills alone, the Oscar and 13-time Grammy winner is, arguably, one of the greatest rappers of his generation. The highly successful and controversial rapper has released 10 studio albums, the most recent being “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” (2013), which is a follow-up to the 2000 release.

Even locally, the Detroit-born icon’s music has hit home: Eminem’s had seven of his albums top the charts in South Africa. Needless to say, his visit to local shores is long overdue, and screaming fans will no doubt lose themselves in the (actual) rapture brought on by Slim Shady’s rhymes in 2014. 

His new single with Rihanna, Monster, is this week’s highest debut on the South African RAMS chart; and the new album debuted at No. 1 on iTunes chart and No. 9 on the physical albums sales chart.




Eminem explodes onto Cape Town shores on the 26th of February and 1st of March in Johannesburg.
