AboutSlimming World Slimming World was founded in Alfreton,
Derbyshire, in 1969 by our Chairman
Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, HonMUniv, FRSA.
We have over 12,000 slimming groups
nationwide run by 4,000 trained Consultants.
An average of 700,000 members attend our
groups every week.
We now help more than a million people to lose
weight and lead healthier, happier lives each year.
On average, members who lose 10% of their
body weight do so within 13 weeks. Six months
later, more than 90% of those still attending
Slimming World maintain their weight loss or
go on to lose more.
On average, members attend a group for
nine months*.

A unique approachto weight loss
Slimming World combines expertise in the psychology
of slimming, in nutrition and in physical activity to
empower our members to achieve lifestyle changes and
long-term weight loss. The three pillars supporting our
members’ success are:
Food Optimising eating plans based on sound nutritional
principles that allow members to fill up on unlimited
amounts of healthy, low energy-density food, so they
never feel hungry.
Our unique group support, Image Therapy, based
on a deep understanding of the psychology of slimmers,
ensures our members stay motivated and inspired to
make lifestyle changes. In group, members discuss
practical ideas and tips, identify personal pitfalls and
share tactics for overcoming them.
Our Body Magic activity programme encourages
members to start taking moderate exercise in a way
that fits with their lifestyle, so it becomes a way of life.

Who doesn’t crave softer, smoother, healthier hair? Our troubleshooting tips, tricks and expert product picks will fast-track you to style satisfactionwords: rosie green
Your best hair now!
Transform parched and straw-like into soft and glossy…styling solutions Pretty much everything we do to our hair (highlighting, styling, swimming, urban living) dehydrates it. And if yours is naturally curly, your own conditioning scalp oils have a hard time migrating down those spirals to nourish the ends. There are ways to reverse the effects, though. Choose gentle shampoos and use them only on your roots. Try to wean yourself off the everyday use of scorching styling tools. Steering clear of products high in alcohol (hairsprays often are) will help, too. Instead, ask for a glossing vegetable colour at the salon to deliver a hit of conditioning shine.
targeted treatments ‘Co-washing’ is a trend that’s seen people with dry hair foregoing oil-stripping shampoo altogether and ‘washing’ hair with conditioner. A more obvious weapon against dryness is a heavy-duty moisturiser. Look for conditioners and masques with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or ceramides. And if you haven’t already done so, give hair oils a go. They nourish brittle strands, while giving high shine. ●
Swap fine and limp for full and bouncy…styling solutions Having your hair coloured will inject volume, as dye helps to swell the strands. It’s a good idea to use a clarifying shampoo once a month to prevent product build-up weighing down fine hair. Stylists advise using as little conditioner as you
can after washing – just apply, then detangle gently using a Tangle Teezer brush. Blow-drying your hair from underneath will add instant lift at the roots. When dry, avoid over-brushing to keep the bounciness intact.targeted treatments The good news is that body-boosting products have really upped their game in the last few years. That favourite 80s’ style staple, mousse, is back, but this time round it leaves hair soft and touchable rather than crunchy. Volumising
sprays are an essential tool, too, delivering lift without stickiness. And to give hair an extra boost, there’s the stylists’ favourite, dry shampoo. The latest ultra-fine formulas soak up any grease on the scalp, while delivering a hit of on-trend ‘beachy’ texture.
Switch wiry and wild for smooth and silky…styling solutions To get a sleek look, your hair cuticles need to lie flat. Think of them like slate tiles on a roof: if some are blown off or upwards, things begin to look a lot less neat! To keep yours beautifully uniform, comb through a conditioner in the shower, rinse, then pat hair dry with a towel (rubbing will rough up those cuticles). When drying your hair, point your blow dryer downwards to keep it smooth. Or you could invest in a wide-barrelled tong, the modern answer to straighteners, designed to de-frizz and add glossy waves.
targeted treatments For smoother cuticles, look for protein-rich conditioners, creams and masks. They work to seal in moisture and leave your hair less prone to frizzing. Serum is still the gold-standard route to silky and sleek; if you have thicker hair, though, running a heavier glossing cream through the mid lengths should add the enviable softness and shine you’re after.

Trade itchy and irritated for calm and soothed…styling solutions An itchy, flaky scalp is the beauty bane of many women. Luckily there are steps you can take to ease it. A good tip is to avoid wearing your hair pulled back tightly all day – dermatologists say the scalp needs fresh air to thrive. Turning down the temperature of your hair-washing water and reducing the heat setting of your hairdryer will help, too. If in-salon colouring triggers a scalp reaction, ask about PPD-free formulas (these contain fewer chemicals), or opt for less irritating semi-permanent dyes.
targeted treatments It’s essential to look after your scalp, not just because itchiness is uncomfortable and flakiness embarrassing, but also because its condition affects the quality of your hair and how well it grows. Opt for a flake-fighting shampoo if you’re feeling irritated (leave it on for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate), or a special ‘sensitive’ shampoo to help prevent the situation recurring. If this doesn’t do the trick, invest in a targeted oil or scalp
treatment and really massage it in to boost skin-healing circulation.
