How often should you be washing your hair?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at
You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty.
Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells.
You wouldn't leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn't wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair.
It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
''My blow dries last longer and hair is less oily and weighed down.''
Another chimed in: ''I feel like your hair smells so FRESH AND CLEAN.''
A third wrote: ''honestly ever since i tried brushing my shampoo and i never really looked back!''
''I've been doing this for the longest time with my shampoo and conditioner, my hair has never been better,'' commented a viewer.

I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived
Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation... BOW DOWN I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived PREGNANCY is a whirlwind of planning, nesting, and excitement. Every detail matters, from the perfect nursery theme to the decorations for a baby shower. 4 Diana Huynh was left baffled after purchasing a Temu baby shower item Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana 4 She believed that she was ordering a bow off the website Credit: Jam Press/Temu But for one mum-to-be, the hunt for the perfect door bow turned into an unexpected and hilarious reality check. Diana Huynh, a 37-year-old from Toronto, was scrolling through Temu, the popular online marketplace known for its ultra-low prices. She found what she thought was the ideal baby shower decoration: a charming, three-dimensional door bow. Priced at just under £6, it seemed like a steal. She clicked "add to basket," envisioning the perfect, elegant welcome for her guests. But when the package arrived, the excitement quickly turned to confusion. Instead of the plush, fabric bow she imagined, Diana found a flat, folded piece of polyester. As she unfolded it, the image on the fabric became clear: a full-sized, printed picture of a door with a bow on it. The tiny holes in the corners confirmed her suspicion - this wasn't a bow at all, but a hanging banner with a picture of a bow on it. Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation. I thought I'd bagged a bargain bookshelf on Temu but I was not prepared for what turned up "It honestly looked very convincing," she told What's The Jam. While she'd noticed the hanging holes, she'd genuinely believed they were for hanging a physical bow on her door. It was a classic "lost in translation" moment, and she couldn't help but laugh. Her friends and family were just as amused. The story quickly made its way to TikTok, where it went viral, racking up over 77,000 likes. The comments section was filled with a mix of shared experiences and playful teasing. 4 It's description described it as a door cover and door banner Credit: Jam Press 4 However, she was left confused after something else arrived Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana Some pointed out the fine print, while others had their own "Temu tales" of unexpected deliveries. "Girl, it's Temu… what did u expect…?" one user wrote, a common sentiment among online shoppers familiar with the site's unpredictable offerings. Despite the mix-up - and the fact that the banner was ultimately chucked after the baby shower - Diana hasn't been deterred from using the site again. A spokesman for Temu said: 'We had already removed the item from our platform prior to your message, as part of our ongoing monitoring efforts. "We require all sellers to ensure their products accurately match the descriptions in their listings. 'Customers are covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee for items that are not as described. "Our customer service team is available 24/7 to help with any post-sale concerns.'

'Delulu' and 'tradwife' among words added to Cambridge Dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher has said. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.
