Edward BerthelotGetty Images Dry hair can lead to so many difficulties, like frizz, breakage, and plenty of split-ends. While we have hair oils, masks, and leave-in treatments that can alleviate and treat many of these issues, sometimes the simplest solution is best. When our face feels dry, we apply moisturizer. Why don’t we do the same for our hair? Whether it’s labeled as a moisturizer or a leave-in conditioner, it’s a holy grail product that rehydrates and shields your hair from the brisk winds, rough towels, harsh ingredients, and touchy-feely hands it encounters daily (cue: Solange).

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Princess Paradigm? I’ve long been a fan of elves (the first fantasy books I fell in love with were R. A. Salvatore’s Drizzt books), so when I started thinking of doing fantasy romance, it was natural to want to bring in some sexy elves. Who doesn’t love pointed ears? In the first book I wrote in this world, The Elf Tangent, the hero was an elf. In this one, the story focuses on his sister, an elf princess with a few issues to work through, and the hunky…

A treatment process can turn old pieces of wood into a new super-strong material called “healed wood” Technology 19 May 2022 By Alex Wilkins Wood for recycling can now be turned into a substance stronger than steelurose/Getty Images A material made from recycled wood is five times stronger than natural wood and can be made from any timber by-product, including shavings and sawdust. Wood is a hugely versatile material, but millions of tonnes go into landfill each year. To build a truly circular economy, wood will need to be re-used on a grander scale.

Each Diptyque candle is inspired by a time, place or story. For example, the Figuier (Fig Tree) candle was created to capture the memories of the founders’ many holidays in Mount Pelion, Greece, where, each day, they crossed a natural grove of wild fig trees to reach the sea. There’s no denying Diptyque candles have a certain je ne sais quoi about them, which can only be understood when you’ve burned one for yourself. Unsure which Diptyque candles you should invest in? Keep scrolling to discover the brand’s best sellers, the three candles that started it all, and some of the Who What…

For years, the anonymity service Tor has been the best way to stay private online and dodge web censorship. Much to the ire of governments and law enforcement agencies, Tor encrypts your web traffic and sends it through a chain of computers, making it very hard for people to track you online. Authoritarian governments see it as a particular threat to their longevity, and in recent months, Russia has stepped up its long-term ambition to block Tor—although not without a fight.In December 2021, Russia’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, enacted a 4-year-old court order that allows it to order internet service providers…

Marcus Mumford unveiled his first solo single, “Cannibal,” last week, but what he didn’t mention at the time was that the accompanying black-and-white visuals had been directed by none other than Steven Spielberg making his music video debut. “On Sunday 3rd July in a high school gym in New York, Steven Spielberg directed his first music video, in one shot, on his phone,” Mumford wrote on social media. He added that Kate Capshaw, who starred as Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and has played the role of Spielberg’s wife since 1991, served as “the almighty dolly grip.”…

Scientists have pinpointed the moment in time our earliest ancestors evolved to be warm-blooded, and it happened much later and far more quickly than the researchers expected.The discovery, made by studying the minuscule tubes of the inner ear, places the evolution of mammalian warm-bloodedness at around 233 million years ago — 19 million years later than scientists previously thought.These semicircular canals are filled with a viscous fluid, called endolymph, that tickles tiny hairs lining the canals as the fluid sloshes around. These hairs transmit messages to the brain, giving it instructions for how to keep the body balanced. Like some…

Imagine a movie theater as big as the great outdoors. That’s what portable projectors make possible: family movie night anywhere. Just consider whether you will have access to a power outlet. If so, you may want a projector with over 3,000 lumens so you can watch in the daytime — but note that you’ll probably still need plenty of shade. No outlet? Portable projectors typically work best at nighttime. (Also, you’ll need a screen, usually sold separately, to project onto.) The BenQ GS50 1080p (below; $750, Amazon) is one high-end option with nice bells and whistles like a Bluetooth speaker…

Build it and they will come. DARPA opened the Internet in 1969. And people came. Slowly. Over the course of 20 years. Then those people built their own cyber dreams and gave us the Worldwide Web, the Netscape browser, Facebook, Google and Amazon. And what started as a dark and lonely place now has five billion users. The same is beginning to happen with SpaceX’s 100 passenger rocket, the Starship. The Starship is still undergoing testing for its first orbital launch. But 21 academics have published a paper showing how you could lay Starships on their belly on the moon…

Adding erythropoietin to cooling therapy for term newborns with birth asphyxia has no benefit over cooling therapy alone, a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings contrast with results from small trials in which erythropoietin appeared safe and effective, noted Dr. Sandra “Sunny” Juul, senior author of the study. The Alan Hodson Endowed Professor of Pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine, Juul is also the UW Medicine chief of neonatology (newborn medical care) and practices at Seattle Chldren’s.

Beyoncé’s long-awaited “Renaissance” album is finally here, and it delivers on not only the soul-stirring music she’s known for, but also the striking visuals she’s come to master. Styled by Marni Senofonte and KJ Moody, the album photo shoot serves up plenty of editorial inspiration. In one shot, Beyoncé wears a sheer lace turtleneck maxi mermaid dress in vivid green, covered in leaf motifs and flaring out into a furry fishtail. In another, the “Break My Soul” singer looks just as ravishing in a black sweetheart neckline eyelet catsuit, complete with matching gloves and finished with an avant-garde headpiece and…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Little Pinprick? Once upon a time, many years ago in a far-off land called San Diego, California, I married a man who became an intravenous heroin user. Well, the truth is he would fill his needles with anything he could melt down. I divorced him after he completed ten drug rehabilitation programs (yes 10), over five years. With all the focus and empathy on my addicted husband, I was left to do everything on my own, while still being caring and supportive of his recovery. There was one…

Comic-Con wouldn’t be Comic-Con without cosplay.As much a part of the event as Hall H panels and comics themselves, getting decked out in elaborate costumes—or looking at people decked out in elaborate costumes—is one of the main reasons people attend. This year, cosplay felt even more crucial. Due to health concerns over the spread of Covid-19, there hasn’t been an in-person Comic-Con for the past two years. Last weekend, when the event once again filled the streets of San Diego, the cosplayers came back too.But not without some, um, modifications. Just because Comic-Con held an IRL event this year doesn’t…

Beavis and Butthead are making a triumphant return to the small screen. After the release of Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe, it was clear the world wanted more of the dim-witted duo.

He’d been considering bringing the characters back since at least 2018. In 2020, it was announced that a new series was in development, and in 2021, Do the Universe moved forward.The clip from the new show follows Beavis as he discovers a fire…

The TV rollout was strong as ever this week — which seems to be a trend this summer — with some series just kicking off while others are edging closer to their finales. Regardless of where they are in their seasons, however, many featured some knock-out pieces of dialogue. Powerful performances continue to come out of Apple TV+‘s Black Bird, as Taron Egerton‘s Jimmy Keene finally met serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), laying the groundwork to coax a confession out of him. Tensions also ran high on Mars in For All Mankind, as the already shaky alliance between…
