NEWS COPY w/ VIDEO + INFOGRAPHIC

For all the ink spilled over side parts vs. middle parts, millennials are much more willing to experiment with their hair than the generation that came before them.

That’s according to a new poll of 1,000 millennial women (ages 25-40) and 1,000 Gen X women (ages 41-56), which asked both groups about how their hairstyles have evolved over time.

While the average Gen Xer has only tried six different hairstyles over the years, the average millennial has already gone through eight.

And while one-fourth of women polled wouldn’t want to wear the same hairstyle they did ten years ago in 2011, four in 10 would still be open to it.

In fact, 25% of respondents said they’re still wearing the same hairstyle from back then, including slightly more Gen Xers than millennials (28% vs 20%).

The poll, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Zotos Professional, also revealed that 28% would change their hair for a new job or a vacation, and 20% would do so after a breakup. 

But the no.1 cause of hair transformations appears to be boredom (46%), which may be why 53% of all respondents said they’ve experimented with their hair more than ever during quarantine. 

Almost two-thirds (63%) of millennials said they are confident in their hairstyling abilities, as opposed to only half (52%) of Gen X respondents. 

However, that confidence seems to be dependent on context; Gen X women felt twice as prepared to style their own hair for a party (49% vs 24%), whereas millennials were more willing to DIY a look for a TV appearance or even their own wedding (28% vs. 15%).

“While doing your own hair can be daunting, a little practice and confidence can go a long way,” said Michelle Ryan, VP Marketing, Zotos Professional. And although changing your hair may seem like a major life change, there’s no better way to express yourself than through your hair.”

But as is the case with so many forms of expression, accessibility can often be a barrier.

Thirty-four percent of both millennial and Gen X women cited expenses as the reason they don’t dramatically experiment with their hair.

Meanwhile, 36% avoid it for fear of not liking the result — not surprisingly, as more than two-thirds of respondents have gotten a haircut that they didn’t like. 

Fifty-three percent of millennials went to another hairstylist to get a bad cut fixed, whereas Gen X were about equally likely to go to another stylist (34%) or fix it at home (33%).

However, one-third of all respondents will “always” color their hair at home instead of going to a salon. 

Another third of millennials have also mastered an intricate updo at home, whereas the most popular at-home hairstyles of choice for Gen Xers were ponytails and pigtails. 

“We encourage everyone to be a hair creator. With practice and the right tools, you will have the confidence to master your own style, which can be rewarding and a great way to express yourself,” said Ryan.

TOP FIVE REASONS PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR HAIRSTYLES

  • Boredom – 46%
  • Going on vacation – 28%
  • A new job – 28%
  • Moving to a new city – 25%
  • A new relationship – 24%

Janett Walker, co-founder and CEO of Anti Racist Cumbria, said: “This is the beginning of such an important journey and as a team at Anti Racist Cumbria, we are so happy with the way in which businesses have stepped up to play their part on the road to making our county an actively anti-racist one, by either sending senior delegates as attendees so they can learn more on how to do better and sponsoring the event so we can reach as many in our county as possible.

“Individuals are also throwing the weight of their support behind the event, making it clear they want to live and work in a county where everyone is treated equitably.

“We are delighted to have secured such an inspirational line-up of speakers, panellists and contributors and we are looking forward to what we know will be a day in Cumbrian history that we reflect on in future years as a turning point for the county.” 

The Summit, to be held at the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal, from 9am until 6pm on Tuesday, November 2, will bring together a series of practical workshops, inspirational speakers, local topics and panel discussions.

Dr Mos-Shogbamimu will be joined on the roster of speakers by Lady Phyll, founder of UK Black Pride; Sonny Peart founder of Black Trial Runners; Billy Welch the Gypsy Leader (Shera Rom); Aneela McKenna founder of Mor Diversity, Fitzroy Andrew Senior Institutional Equity Officer at the University East London, along with a number of Cumbrian and national leaders.

Joining the speakers, panellists and the county’s business leaders will be members of the wider community along with students and young people from Cumbria University, Kendal College and two of our county’s schools sixth form year groups.

After the main summit ends, the focus turns to the after-party where the supremely talented K.O.G and the Zongo Brigade will perform a set.

Kweku Sackey aka K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana) has performed in 15 countries at huge stages all over the world, from Glastonbury’s legendary West Holts stage to Fusion (Germany), Sauti Za Busara (Zanzibar), Kabardock (Reunion) and the Commonwealth Games (Gold Cost, Australia), winning the 2018 Young Commonwealth Performer and performing for Nelson Mandela’s family.

Tickets to the after-party are available to all, including people unable to attend the Summit during the day.

Urgent Budget Comment from leading tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg

By
Roger Bishop
-

The changes to the alcohol duties regime in today’s budget will be welcomed by most beer and wine drinkers and the hospitality industry in general.

However, while these changes will result in a small reduction to wine and beer prices – particularly in our pubs – through the reduction in alcohol duties, the reality is that this drop in alcohol duties will not be seen by the general public.  Rather, costs in beer, cider, and wine prices in pubs, will increase because of the 6.6% increase in the National Minimum Wage and the already announced increase in employer NIC charges to 15.05% from April 2023.

–          Robert Salter, Director, Blick Rothenberg

There were no changes announced to Stamp Duty Land Tax. The tax bands, rates and reliefs will continue to operate unchanged. Next year’s charges for the tax’s cousin, the annual tax on enveloped dwellings, were published, but they merely track inflation and were expected. Those hoping for major changes to the tax, another “holiday” from it, a new relief for zero-carbon homes or new tax rules for shared-ownership schemes, will have to wait.

–          Sean Randall, Stamp Duty Partner, Blick Rothenberg

Freeports

Legislation is expected to be published in two days’ time formally designating the eight sites that will qualify for tax reliefs for businesses investing in freeports. More legislation is expected in November to “switch on” the tax reliefs. The tax reliefs include an enhanced capital allowance, a full relief from Stamp Duty Land Tax and full business rates relief. This announcement is only an update to the timing of the freeport tax site designation process. Provision was made in this year’s Finance Act for the reliefs.

–          Sean Randall, Stamp Duty Partner, Blick Rothenberg

The Government has reiterated its commitment to clamping down on promoters of tax avoidance schemes, an area which has proved to have significant problems in the past, not least because many of the promoters are based offshore. The announcement that a new penalty will be introduced in Finance Bill 2021-2022 on UK entities supporting promoters is therefore welcome, since it should mean that it is less easy for promoters to bring their products to the attention of the UK public.

It is also helpful that the Finance Bill will contain measures to share more information with the general public to enable taxpayers to recognise avoidance schemes and steer clear of them. Previously there has been a lack of readily available information and many taxpayers have become involved in such schemes thinking that they were wholly legitimate – based purely on what the promoters have told them.

How To Use Social Media In Digital Signage

By
Roger Bishop
-

When it comes to marketing, many brands and associations have taken a route of online marketing, and that too via social media. This diminished the traditional offline marketing system thereby, decreasing the engagement of offline channels.

To overcome this, Digital Signages gave a leg up to the offline marketing world. Social media being a crucial element in marketing has taken place in digital signages too. The latter has become an upgraded version of offline advertising.

What Is Digital Signage?

Digital Signages refer to large digital displays for offline advertising. It offers a way for brands, associations, and businesses to display their content on their official premises or in public.

With the linking of social media with Digital Signages, the brands and their promotions have gone to another level.

Associations have been able to invite online audiences and offline ones with unique visual representations of their brand.

They provide diversified content from social media platforms via social walls. Social proof builds up, engages, and invites more people by providing UGC content and showing authentic brand advocacy. Therefore, it also helps in surging the sales.

Apart from providing diverse content and helping in increasing sales, it also increases social interaction and gives entertainment and gamification.

Let us now understand how to use social media in Digital Signages.

How To Use Social Media In Digital Signage

Making Your Content Eye-Catching simply showcasing social media elements is not enough. It would help if you made it visible. An attractive feed not only draws the attention of the viewers but also increases engagement.

You can do it without taking up the entire display. Adding a pinch of different fonts, colors, and little animation can do great wonders.

You can also add a social media house or segment at the end to display the best comments or replies.

●      Highlight interactions

Using social media as an element in your digital signages requires you to use the interactive and communicative aspects.

You can do that by adding reviews of the customers, their inspirational stories, displaying comments of the day/week, highlighting a joke or any such humorous things which a customer made on your company, or any such tweet.

●     Be Creative

Just having a social media feed in the digital signage is not enough. To keep your viewers engaged, you need to be creative. This requires a call of action. Your purpose should be clearly defined in your signages.

The customer should look up to the message and understand your direction so that they can easily give a response to that.

If you want your social media to be followed or need engagement and more traffic on such networking sites, you need to clarify your pages so that the people/viewers can easily see that. Even if you want to increase the sales of your brand, the message should be clearly defined.

For example, giving your customers a discount coupon or any unique code to avail it or putting up striking messages on your display like ‘mention us on the Instagram story and get a chance to get a free coupon.’ With such statements, you will have a call of action.

●     Influencer Content

90% of Instagram users at least follow one influencer. So setting up their comment or review on your brand product or association on the digital signage is a fantastic way to engage your attendees.

Adding them to the digital signages makes the display attractive and exciting. By creating content that resonates well with the consumers, influencers play a significant role in brand promotion and influencing the target audiences in purchasing the products and services offered by the brands.

They work as magical marketing tools, too, as many people resonate with them, and what’s better than your favorite influencer on digital signages promoting products? This paves an easy way for marketers in offline marketing.

●     A Social Wall Does It All

Using a social wall that brings content from different social media platforms paves the way for many customer interactions and engagements.

It not only helps in building strong social proof but also enhances customer-brand loyalty.

# Campaign

To use social media digital signage, the best thing is to use a Hashtag Campaign. They help in collecting UGC efficiently.

Another best thing about using this is that they are expressive. They add another communication layer apart from simple written texts thereby, making the content appear more innovative and appealing to watch.

The best part about these digital signages is that you can use them in multiple places like in stores, workplaces, hospitality centers, corporate offices, streets, and so on.

Social media in digital signages are of great aid. They bring social interaction to another stage as well as help in building social proof. With UGC content being displayed, people feel a strong attachment and connection with the content being displayed rather than the simple marketing done by the companies.

Here’s the finale

When it comes to offline marketing, Digital Signages have given hope to all the associations or brands in bringing audiences from all over the world and from all areas.

With extensive and creative displays, Digital Signages have helped brands, associations, companies, etc., gain massive traffic and user insights.

Guide To The Best Currency Remittance Ways In UAE

By
Roger Bishop
-

The UAE’s money transfer market is fiercely competitive, with various options for sending your hard-earned dirhams abroad. However, there is a reason for this. According to recent data from the UAE Central Bank, the UAE is one of the world’s leading outbound remitter countries, with citizens sending roughly Dh39.9 billion to their home countries in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The money exchange and transfer benefit several families in India, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As a result, the UAE’s international money transfer sector is tremendously established.

People have multiple options like banks, exchange houses, digital money transfers, and more unofficial routes for currency exchange in Dubai.

It is smart and safe to do some research before deciding on a transfer service. To make an informed decision, you must thoroughly analyze exchange rates, transfer costs, and timeframes. So, which choice is the best?

  1. Exchange Houses

As per the Central Bank, exchange houses are the most common way of currency exchange, responsible for roughly three-quarters of all remittance operations. In the fourth quarter of 2018, exchange houses received Dh30.4 billion in remittances, compared to Dh9.5 billion sent through banks.

Those searching for the best deal can use the World Bank portal to evaluate pricing for remittance routes to low and middle-income countries such as India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.

Some of the least expensive exchange houses on the UAE to India route are popular on the internet. They intend to compare prices when sending relatively little quantities of money – roughly Dh700 and Dh1800 dirhams.

Customers can pick from various transfer services, including bank-to-bank, cash-to-cash, and even transfers to mobile wallets. However, account-to-account transactions are usually the most cost-effective.

  1. Banks

International transfers via your bank might be quick and easy, but they can also be costly due to higher margins and trading costs. Some UAE banks, on the other hand, have recently launched strategies to match with exchange houses.

Mobile payment was the cheapest way to finance a remittance transaction internationally in the fourth quarter of last year, as per the World Bank.

Traditionally, the most popular sending money abroad and currency exchange was through exchange houses, with banks serving as “essentially marginal actors.” That has changed in the last two to three years, as new technology has allowed you to transmit money instantaneously and on your mobile device.

Another reason driving the popularity of bank-to-bank transfers is the rapid increase in bank accounts in crucial regions like India and Pakistan.

Since no one can foresee future rates, sending money when a rate achieves a new milestone is wise if the currency is going in your favor. Bundling your assets into a vast single transfer, according to experts, can result in lower transaction charges.

Regular remitters must keep an eye on the exchange rate fluctuations. It will allow you to time your transfer more intelligently, mainly if you can postpone your remittance and transfer in mass when the rate for currency exchange in Dubai is at its best.

What Does Stroke Rehabilitation In Dubai Entail?

By
Roger Bishop
-

Patients that suffer from strokes, more often than not, require rehabilitation to retain the muscle control they might have lost. Strokes tend to happen when there are obstructions in the arteries that carry blood and oxygen to the brain.

Therefore, certain parts of the brain are temporarily deprived of oxygen causing a stroke. In addition to just regaining lost motor control, stroke rehabilitation therapy can contribute a great deal towards helping the patient lead a more independent life.

What to expect after stroke rehabilitation? 

Most doctors recommend beginning stroke rehabilitation as soon as possible to improve the odds of being rehabilitated completely. Therefore, patients may even start rehabilitation 24 to 48 hours after the stroke.

A typical stroke rehabilitation session will involve:

  • Physical activities: 

These are required for patients who lose control of their limbs or mouth. It involves motor-skill training, mobility training, constraint training and finally, range-of-motion therapy. Constraint training is also known as forced-use therapy as it involves restraining the normal limb and forcing the affected limb to move.

  • Technology-assisted actions: 

This involves the use of devices and electricity to get movement from the affected parts of the body. Some activities include the use of electricity to stimulate the muscles and therefore, re-educate them. Other activities involve the use of devices to help in stimulating the muscles.

  • Communicative activities: 

During a stroke, there is a high possibility that patients lose the ability to speak either partially or completely. Therefore, stroke rehabilitation involves cognitive and communicative therapy to help with speech.

Benefits of stroke rehabilitation therapy 

In addition to the more evident benefits that accompany stroke rehabilitation, there are other benefits that patients can receive as well. These include:

  • Better communication: 

As mentioned before, stroke rehabilitation will involve a significant amount of cognitive training as well. This is because the stroke will affect certain functions of the brain like memory, thinking, perception and more. In addition, communication and articulation skills also have to be improved as the mouth, vocal cords and lips are affected.

With a stroke rehabilitation plan, a patient will be able to communicate more easily along with having a better memory.

  • Improved mental health: 

Patients who recently experienced a stroke are very likely to have deteriorating mental health as well. This is primarily because of the various lifestyle changes that take place in such a short period. In addition, they can feel anxious and depressed about their recovery and their progress in every rehabilitation session.

For this reason, stroke rehabilitation also includes psychological support to help improve the patient’s emotional state.

  • Maximizes independent lifestyles:  

Patients who have suffered a stroke will have to depend on another person either completely or for certain requirements. However, over time with rehabilitation, these patients can live a much more independent life with improved motor control and accomplish daily tasks on their own.

Patients who are unfortunate enough to suffer a stroke need not spend the rest of their lives depending on someone else or be incapable in any way. This outcome is only possible by working with the best therapists offering stroke rehabilitation in Dubai.

Body Lift Surgery In Dubai

By
Roger Bishop
-

People undergo different types of surgeries to keep their physical structure in its best shape and condition. One such surgery is the body lift surgery. As the name suggests, body lift surgery removes the excess skin and fat from your body to tone it and improve its shape. If the muscles of your body have lost their elastic tendency due to reasons like excess weight loss or childbirth, you may consider getting a body lift surgery to bring your body back to its beautiful original shape.

Depending on the area where you need the surgery, you may get a lower, upper, mid, or full-body lift. It is a safe process and has a lot of medical benefits. Although the surgery removes and contours the extra fat on your body, it is not a weight-loss surgery, so you need to maintain your weight after it. The scars may take some time to fade away, and your surgeon will keep a close check on you by monitoring your progress and making a timetable for you to get back to your daily routine.

When do you need body lift surgery?

People need body lift surgery mainly for three reasons, which are:

  • Excess weight loss

If you have lost a lot of weight in less time due to a fad diet, excess exercise, or any disease, your skin loses its stretched nature and becomes saggy. You may get frequent rashes due to the friction between the folds. A body lift surgery resolves this issue by fixing the elasticity of the skin.

  • Changes in skin elasticity 

Age, genetics, and sun exposure can cause your skin to lose its elasticity and become shapeless. The skin around your lower area can get saggy quicker than the skin o]in other areas. You can get a body lift surgery to solve it.

  • Pregnancy

Pregnancy takes a big toll on a female’s body. New mothers often go for body lift surgeries to regain their body shapes and confidence.

Benefits of body lift surgeries

The sole purpose of getting body lift surgery is to regain the shape and contour of your body, but it also comes with many other underlying benefits. Here are some of the other benefits of body lift surgeries:

  • Many people tend to feel conscious about the sagging skin on their bodies. The surgery fixes their skin issues, and they can walk out in public confidently without worrying about how they look. It also decreases the chances of depression due to an inferiority complex.
  • With a boost in confidence and self-esteem through body lift surgery, people make the best of their lives which was not possible before the surgery. They attend functions and parties and socialize with other people.
  • Since body lift surgery regains the lost elasticity of the skin, people can have better control over their bodies, and their physical functioning is enhanced. They can resume their daily schedule with more energy and enthusiasm.

You can contact any surgical institute to get body lift surgery in Dubai at affordable rates.
