If you've not heard the hype about Windle & Moodie then you need to check out my review of their Ultra Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner which, in 6 years of trialling hair products, can safely say is my favorite hair brand of all time. Big claims to make, right? Well I wouldn't have known how to use them if it hadn't have been for my chats with Nelson who taught me all about the brand and how to use their wonderful products.
ABOUT NELSON BROWN
Nelson is a bubbly, hilarious, 'I instantly want him to be my best friend' kind of man and has talent seeping through his veins. As soon as you walk into his salon you are greeted with artwork showcasing his work with units filled with Windle & Moodie products placed throughout the salon. I'm doing a full salon feature on Browns so you'll see more of it then. One thing you'll notice about Nelson when you meet him, is how passionate and proud he is of the work he does. Hair is his 'thing', he lives, eats and breathes for the industry.
Mentored by Vidal Sassoon, Nelson is no stranger to Fashion week, and recently assisted the legendary Sam McKnight at LFW.
I have had the pleasure of chatting with Nelson quite a bit over the past few weeks and the one thing that attracts me to him is how modest he is. I mentioned to him how renowned he is in the industry and my admiration for his undeniable talent and he was shocked that anyone would know who he was. They say the world's most iconic talents never realize it and this is certainly the case with Nelson.
To me, it's a no brainer that he would be the educational ambassador for Windle & Moodie. Nelson fell in love with the brand and there's nothing he can't tell you about the products.
WHAT NELSON CAN DO FOR YOU
If you have a salon and choose to stock Windle & Moodie then Nelson is part of the deal. Buy one, get a Nelson free! haha! If only! You can rest assured that when you stock W&M, that you will be taught everything there is to know about the brand.
If you're local to Dumfries & Galloway and are considering stocking Windle & Moodie, Nelson also has training nights and workshops using the products.
Basically, Nelson is your user manual. When you stock Windle & Moodie, you're in safe hands.
WHAT HAS NELSON DONE FOR ME?
I have long, straight, lifeless hair. Nelson taught me how to use the Windle & Moodie fortifying spray to protect my hair and add volume. I use this on wet hair and blowdry my hair (it's also a heat protectant!). It feels like there's nothing in your hair, but it just brings it to life and gives it a load of volume. (Team this with the Matte Texture Spray and your hair will feel better than it does after a big bouncy blow out, I promise! check out my Instagram to see a transformation using this).
Nelson also taught me the value of using a DIFFUSER. Girls, stop throwing them away! for gorgeous, loose, beachy texture, use the Windle & Moodie Oceanic Spray, split the hair into three sections (sides and back) and scrunch some of this into the hair, placing each section into the diffuser until dry. It takes less time to dry because of the product and I swear this wee tip from Nelson has completely transformed my usual hair 'routine'.
I hadn't realised just how important prepping the hair was until I spoke to Nelson. Obviously I've used a tonne of products before and I use a heat protector, but I never realised how vital to your final result a good product is - I'm obviously obsessed with the brand now, but I can't emphasize how important it was to me to have nelson explain everything to me.
Nelson also informed me that ALL of the Windle & Moodie shampoo's have NO suplhates, propylene glycol, silicones or parabens. All 100% Vegan. Amazing right?
