So what’s it going to be? Shave or spray? Whatever your choice – it is certainly a small price to pay in the fight against cancer.
For more than 80 years Cansa (The Cancer Association of South Africa) has raised awareness and support in the fight against cancer; last year’s Cansa Shavathon raised R7.1 million and was rolled out to 220 offices and 250 shopping centres.
This year’s event, the 9th Cansa Shavathon, will be hosted from 1 to 4 March at offices and shopping centres across the country. Be sure to join in the fun-filled support, either by shaving off your hair or getting a temporary spray job for just R50 (R25 for kids under 12).
All proceeds go to Cansa’s research and education programmes and you get to sport the classic shave or spray look that signals your support for cancer survivors.
Style it up a bit with stencils such as a star, butterfly, lightning bolt or soccer ball, to truly make the best of your spray- or shave-do.
You can also make your R50 contribution online before the event and have your ponytail (20cm or longer) donated to a wig-making company, which in turn donates 10% of every wig sold. Read more about the wigs here learn more about becoming a Cansa Shavathon volunteer.

The urban look
The urban look for 2012’s fashion-savvy male is best described as edgy, sharp and contemporary. It involves eye-catching ensembles that combine high-end, runway fashion trends that transform effortlessly into everyday wear.
The urban man prides himself on being well groomed and stylish. For 2012 urban look must-have wardrobe items include vests, chambray shirts, corduroy and velvet pants and preppy styling.
Go for a puffer vest over a sleek cotton turtleneck, matched with a pair of faded dark denims or try an rugged leather vest over a graphic tee. Also think multi-pocket, utilitarian cargo vests.
Look trendy with a long-sleeve chambray shirt over a graphic tee or v-neck sweater. Pair colourful corduroys or velvet pants with a solid-colour tee or striped sweater and smart oxford shoes. Turn it up a style notch by donning a newsboy cap and sexy aviator sunglasses.
The varsity or preppy style is also a hot and happening fashionable urban image. Dress up your American-inspired letterman jacket with v-neck sweater, jeans and rugged work boot this winter.
Or try Sibusiso Chauke’s take on the preppy urban styling. He was spotted at Sandton City wearing a fitted Canterbury tee (R249) with Canterbury Windsor chinos at R499. For creative flair he folded his chinos just below the ankle and slipped on a pair of colour-popping espradilles from Woolies at R180 to colour match his Trenery belt for R220.

The Slap™ watch is a novel time piece with an air of nostalgic cool, just like - as were Vanilla Ice, the discman and Tomagotchi.
The interchangeable watch face and band comes in 11 trendy colours like Purple Berry, Sunset Orange and Alabaster White. Mix and match 121 possible colour combinations to perfectly colour co-ordinate any outfit, a versatile fashion accessory for any occasion.

The watches are available in standard and Slap junior sizes from R249 to R499. They are easy to maintain and are water resistant. They make great gifts too.
Visit www.slapwatchsa.co.za to try out the right colour combinations that appeal to you before you buy.
