From Hair Colours to Cult Products, This Is What You Need For Good Hair Days
There is no doubt that hair bond builders’ have been gaining momentum in recent years, which became popular through in-salon treatments such as Olaplex. Now, there are many at-home options available that promise to transform hair breakage and colour-damaged lengths. “As hair grows further from the scalp, it suffers accumulating lifestyle damage and the internal structure breaks down, the cuticle lifts and the hair shaft thins down towards the ends,” explains hairdresser Michael Van Clarke. “Bond builders seek to repair some of the molecular connections like the disulphide bonds, and fill voids that have opened up.” But not all bond builders are created equal. “Since the market niche was created, it has ballooned with hundreds of competing produ...

15 Expert-Approved Tips To Help Combat Dry Skin
Most people associate breakouts with oily skin but actually dry skin can be acne-prone, too. Don’t be tempted to skip out on moisturising just because you’ve had a breakout, however. Remember that hydrated skin is healthy skin and healthy skin is better able to defend against acne-causing bacteria, as well as faster at healing breakouts and pigmentation. The key, of course, is in choosing the right products and ingredients. “If you’re experiencing dryness and breakouts, avoiding products with comedogenic (pore clogging) oils such as coconut and avocado oil is very important,” says Hughes. “My favourite face oil to help replenish lack of moisture without causing breakouts is rosehip seed oil since you can layer it under moisturiser in the evening.” In addition, choose non-drying spot treatm...
I’m a Shopping Expert—These 11 Winter Coats Stopped Me in My Tracks
It’s no secret that I’m more of a summer person, but I have to admit that when the colder weather hits, there is one thing that gets me really excited, and that’s a great winter coat. As a coat lover, I prioritise a few things when investing in a new style. First, if I’m not warm, my husband says I moan endlessly, so that is always number one on my list. Second, even my most casual of coats have to add an element of polish to my outfit or I just feel, well, a little drab. So with that in mind, I like to invest in styles that feel really special and that I’ll get plenty of wear out of. Another key factor to consider when choosing a coat, whether it is from the high street or a designer brand, is quality. I am a stickler for quality, and when it comes to a w...

Arsonist Damages Sacred Maoi Statues on Easter Island
It hasn’t been the greatest week when it comes to preserving ancient art. On Wednesday, an American tourist erratically damaged two Roman busts at the Vatican Museums. Somewhat in the same vein, an arsonist on Monday lit a fire on Easter Island partially damaging the sacred statues that famously stand there. Located 2,200 miles off the West Coast of South America, the Chilean territory is home to a dormant volcano, known as Rano Kau, as well as 900 sacred monolithic statues called Moai. The fire was deliberately set by an unidentified person around Rano Raraku volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which resulted in damage across 100 hectares of land. 1 of 3 Courtesy Of The Rapa Nui Municipality. 2 of 3 Courtesy Of The Rapa Nui Municipality. 3 of 3 Courtesy Of The Rapa Nui Municipality.

8 Elevated Staples That Are Guaranteed to Make Your Autumn Outfits Look Polished
If there’s anything I love most about fashion, it’s putting together a new-season wardrobe. As soon as the weather starts to shift, I begin a closet clear-out that involves the timely process of shifting the last few months’ clothes into storage and taking stock of what can come with me into the next, and if this routine has taught me anything, it’s the value of long-wearing, investment purchases. In all honesty, the term “wardrobe staple” gets bandied around so much that it’s almost become retailer speak for “buy this now,” but in truth, a wardrobe staple should be a timeless piece so good you’ll wear it for years to come, and finding the right one can elevate almost everything else you already own (and ...

Remembering Kim Jung Gi
For many artists, there is always a reference point. For Kim Jung Gi, there was only his intuition. World renowned for his ability to draw incredibly rendered scenes simply from memory, the legendary South Korean artist helped inject the same cool confidence in millions of aspiring artists who looked to do the same. Having recently finished his European tour, Kim was getting ready to board a flight from Paris to New York to appear in Comic Con, when suddenly, he experienced chest pains and was rushed to a local hospital. The prolific artist tragically passed away shortly after at age 47, due to a heart attack. Waves of tributes have poured in across publications and social media — from Jim Lee, publisher and chief creative officer of DC Comics, who lauded Kim as “one of the absolute greats...
