Tips for shiny, healthy hair: How many times a week to wash it and the hair tools to know

A few summers ago, I tried to grow out my bob and failed miserably, because I didn’t just want length, I wanted hair that was an event, a mane, hair that swished. For that, you need not only length but heft, and heft relies heavily on health. I decided to embark on my growing endeavour for a second time with an eye on the health of my hair. Inch by inch, I turned my bob into shoulder-skimming, then modestly long hair. I kept going and currently it settles between the bottom of my shoulder blades. It’s taken a full three years, but I’m nearly there now at the holy grail: hair that’s long but also shiny, without frayed and damaged ends.After extensive research, and many failures, these are the tips and products which really, really work. They will help you achieve your healthiest hair, wheth...

Sara Pascoe’s secret London: breakfast at the Cafe Royal, and cocktails at Waterstones

North London with my two sons, husband and dog. We’ve been here for about five years and really adore it.Where do you stay in London? When my husband and I were dating we used to stay at the Café Royal at Piccadilly for the decadent breakfasts and incredible spa facilities. In fact, we loved it so much we became members so we could swim in the pool whenever we liked — pre-children, when our life was far more indulgent. When my mum realised how many mice I was cohabiting with, she did feel bad about making me move outWhere was your first flat?What was your first job here?I worked at the Millennium Dome, first in the ticketing department and later as a character actor. It’s probably the most I’ve enjoyed any of my jobs: it was social, well paid and with lots of brilliant, interesting pe...

Meet the people who want you to stop having children and hope for human extinction

He started his journey seven years ago, after overhearing a public conversation: “I found the arguments convincing and I couldn’t find a sufficient counter argument.” Counter arguments to antinatalism, but especially to Benatar’s theories, include emphasising a value on human life, the potential for happiness, and reducing suffering for future generations. Debate, and readying yourself for debate, is fundamental to being an antinatalist. Many websites, like the antinatalisthandbook.com, list arguments (described here as “excuses”) against procreation in 15 languages, including Arabic and Mandarin. Although there are plenty of online resources with information, there is no official home of the movement yet. Source link

MG ZS Hybrid+ – how London roads helped shape this car built in China

Guided by ‘MG David’ (David Allison, Head of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK Ltd), the team liaised closely with HQ in China, culminating in a handful of successive development cars being sent over here, for testing, refinement and development.

How to instantly upgrade your wardrobe: 7 stylish lessons from London Fashion Week

“The morning after” proved popular on moodboards; both Ashish Gupta, the Indian-born, London-based designer known for his exceptional use of sequins, and Sinead Gorey, a grungy partywear label, lent in. As such, beleaguered-looking models wearing miniskirts with baggy hoodies were de rigueur. Elsewhere, hoodies came haute. Jawara Alleyne, another of London’s rising stars, had deconstructed hooded pullovers in his line-up, which had more gowns than the safety-pin T-shirts he is known for, and Rihanna loves. Stefan Cooke added striped hoods under inky, cinched wool jackets — while Simone Rocha’s hoodies came zipped, navy blue, and embellished with splashes of crystal. Source link
