Alyssa Milano says Nioxin 'helped tremendously' with hair loss — and this treatment's on sale
Whether you're suffering from post-COVID hair loss (like Charmed star Alyssa Milano) or you've been dealing with bald spots for years, shedding is an uphill — and often discouraging — battle. You're certainly not alone, though. Hair loss affects millions of men and women, but you don't need to spend a fortune on doctor's office treatments to put up a good fight. There are plenty of at-home regimens you can try first, and, according to Milano, one brand is so effective that you may never need professional help: the Nioxin anti-thinning system, marked down to $62 (from $76) on Amazon We're fans of the celeb-approved Nioxin kit even when it's full price— so the fact that you're getting four products (a three-month supply) for just $62 is a pretty good deal in our opinion. Designed to give volume to hair and protect against breakage, the Nioxin hair-care system promotes thicker and fuller hair growth. This particular four-piece set, System 4 is formulated to help amplify hair texture and defend your locks against breakage, the latter of which can help reduce hair loss from damage while strengthening hair for the future. The other sets, Systems 1-3, are made to address additional concerns, like hair with progressed thinning and colored hair with light thinning. After publicly sharing her hair-loss story via video on Twitter, Milano finally found the help she needed in a few tress-strengthening bottles. She praises Nioxin products (and Nutrafol supplements, not currently on sale) for helping "tremendously" with hair loss. And she's not alone: These products have found fans in Amazon shoppers, too, who praise how effective the treatments are at helping curb lost locks and revitalizing their manes to their original health. Hundreds of shoppers have given Nioxin hair treatment sets a five-star review. "It actually works," said one user."This product actually does what is says it does. Easy system to use. Love the smell of the product." "This hair-care set does actually help slow down my hair falling out, when I stop using it, I can really see a big difference and how much hair I lose," raved a pleased customer. "After just one use of this product made a big difference with my hair. I battle excessive dry hair and tried so many products, including salon products and never got the results I wanted or needed. These will be my forever hair-care products," pledged another super fan. "My hair was thinning due to starting graduate school and getting used to traveling back and forth to school," said this stressed-out scholar. "I've always had thick hair so this shocked me. My hair stylist recommended this and I love it! It takes time for results, but within a few days, I saw less breakage and fall out. You definitely need to wash your hair every three days and use all three products to see a true difference. It has a menthol/minty smell and a cooling tingling sensation on the scalp that's comfortable and makes my hair feel clean. Love it!" This shopper has a caveat for their fellow emptors: "My hairdresser recommended this. I have used it for over a year with great results. She saw a change in my hair within three months. But beware, there are people selling fake versions in the same packaging. Look who you are buying from and if they are legitimate.

Musk and Trump's Social-Media Fight Reveals How Power Works Today
The fact that Elon Musk kicked off last week's emo bloodbath with the words 'I'm sorry, but' has got to be the realest-housewives part of it. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' Musk posted to X on Tuesday. Bless his heart — he sounded really contrite. Then he consulted a 'Downton Abbey' phrasebook and found 'disgusting abomination' to poshly trash Donald Trump's 'big beautiful bill.' He kept huffing his own X fumes through Wednesday until, on Thursday at 2:30 p.m., Trump all-capped him on Truth Social: 'CRAZY!' Off to the races. Everyone has their favorite part of Thursday's cage match. I was instantly startled by the non-pettiness: Musk gunning for Trump's impeachment, Trump gunning for Musk's financial ruin. All amid a cacophonous peanut gallery that included Ye, MAGA billionaire Bill Ackman and Musk ex Ashley St. Clair. But the Trump-Musk feud is not just a clash of two madmen; it is a clash between the two fiercest social-media influencers of all time. Trump and Musk are human memes, forged on Twitter and its spinoffs, X and Truth Social. Their rise, their public personas, their marriage of convenience and their falling out took place in short-form posts and the freestyle cultivation of likes and engagement. Their feud is in many ways a story of our times: It reveals how online power struggles work now — with rivals leveraging online fanbases, battling for authority across platforms and aiming for the ultimate flex: starving the opponent of any attention at all. Long before most, both Trump and Musk understood that traditional PR handlers would sterilize their personas, blunt the trolling potential of their best material and interfere with their relationships with fans. Trump built his political identity on Twitter, beating his chest and savaging his foes with a rawness that used to make his every utterance on Twitter unmissable. Musk built his celebrity through it, too, with runic tweets, like 'laws are on one side, poets on the other.' In late 2021, he was so proud of his philosopher-king status that he considered going pro: 'thinking of quitting my jobs & becoming an influencer full-time wdyt,' he tweeted, to 371,000 likes. The Musk-Trump bond, but also the tension in it, has also been defined by these platforms. It heated up in the fall of 2022, when Trump was in exile from Twitter and out of the White House. Metabolizing pandemic redpills, Musk was still half-heartedly striking a neoliberal pose, only recently having supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. But he was also slagging Twitter for having banished groypers, conspiracy-mongers and especially Trump, its star, for insurrectioning. That's when Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. He claims now he knew he was vastly overpaying — and in February he said X is worth 'like, eight cents' — but the expense was for a noble cause: to restore freedom of speech and welcome @realDonaldTrump back to the green pastures of his social-media homeland. In November of that year, Musk polled X, and a slight majority said Trump should be reinstated. 'The people have spoken,' Musk posted. 'Vox Populi, Vox Dei.' The voice of people is the voice of God. Right. But then, if we're just talking about the course of human events, something extremely cruel happened, a monumental act of Trumpian ingratitude. After his account was reinstated, Trump didn't come back. For nine long months, @realDonaldTrump met Musk's devastatingly expensive largesse with stony silence. Trump, of course, had built his own dopey Twitter dupe, Truth Social, and he probably liked no longer being someone else's tenant, vulnerable to eviction. He also probably liked looking down at the world's richest man from his own social-media castle. When asked when he'd go home to Musk-owned, Trump-friendly Twitter, Trump said, coldly, 'I don't see any reason for it.' Trump was betting that he had made Twitter powerful, not the other way around. If Musk had hoped to spend his days evading the fun police with Trump on Twitter, he might have been hurt that Trump didn't even bother to visit Musk's platform, which he renamed X in July 2023, until he had a mugshot to post in August of that year, after his indictment for a scheme to overturn election results in Georgia. The next summer, on July 13, 2024, Musk endorsed Trump, and soon started whooping and jumping and dancing like 2005 Tom Cruise. He tilted hard right for his hero, and he mostly did it on X, amplifying Dark MAGA posts, from Covid denial to QAnon praise. Tesla's stock tanked. Musk muted his environmentalist leanings. He lost his close friends, including Sam Harris and Philip Low. A month after the endorsement, Trump graced X with his presence with a campaign video. It was only the second time he'd posted to X since Musk rolled out the red carpet for him. In the last months of his campaign, while Musk's money and adulation surged his way, Trump finally managed to show Musk the occasional courtesy of using the platform Musk had bought, furnished and upholstered in part for him. Flash forward to last week. On Monday, June 2, three days before the Trump-Musk affair came utterly undone, @realDonaldTrump posted to X for what looks like the last time: a manly boast video about his steel tariffs. It was scored with what sounded like pounding Christian rock. These tariffs, which Trump increased to fully 50 percent last week, will raise the cost of imported car components, including at Tesla, and further imperil Musk's fortune. For Trump to crow about this insult to Tesla in Musk's own house when they were still acting like pals and Musk was mostly keeping mum about the 'big beautiful bill' (which if it passes will also injure Tesla) — this seems like the unkindest cut of the whole match made in hell. The end of last week's social-media spat reveals that the heavyweight champ of social-media influence is still Trump. At the news that Musk's net worth fell by $34 billion during the spat, while Tesla's market value sank by $153 billion, Musk waved a white flag. He deleted or retracted his incendiary X posts — the innuendo about Trump and the Epstein files and the threat to decommission a spacecraft. Trump, for his part, took back nothing. He now says he rejects a make-up call. He's selling the pretty red Tesla Musk presented to him. And most importantly, he's back to ghosting X. No posts there since Monday. By Friday he was on Truth Social praising Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent, one of Musk's most aggressive rivals for Trump's favor and the one whose April shouting match with Musk came to blows, according to Steve Bannon. On Sunday, Musk gave perhaps the clearest sign that he is tapping out: He screenshotted a Truth Social post by Trump in which the president called Gavin Newsom 'Governor Gavin Newscum' — and posted it admiringly to X. No commentary, no irony, no comeback. Just a tribute. In the posting wars, this is what bending the knee looks like: one man obsequiously signal-boosting the other, on the platform he couldn't lure him back to.

How the Bay Area Shaped Sly Stone
Several cities played outsized roles in the life of Sly Stone, the musical innovator who died on Monday at 82. There was Denton, the northern Texas town where he was born; Los Angeles, where he spent his later years; and even New York City, where he played several memorable concerts, including a Madison Square Garden date in 1974 at which he got married onstage. But no place was more central to Stone's formation and rise than the Bay Area. His family moved there shortly after he was born, and it's where he got his professional start and rose to stardom amid the multiracial psychedelic ferment of the 1960s. Here are five Bay Area spots important in his life. Stone's first encounter with music came as a child in Vallejo, Calif., north of Oakland. His father was a deacon at a local congregation affiliated with the Pentecostal sect the Church of God in Christ, and when he was 8 years old, Stone, whose given name was Sylvester Stewart, and three siblings recorded a gospel track. Stone appeared in several bands in high school. And then for a stint in college, he studied music theory and composition — and picked up the trumpet, to boot — at Vallejo Junior College, today known as Sonoma Community College. He was best known for funk and psychedelic rock, but Stone's eclecticism can be heard in the slow, firmly 1950s-style doo-wop music of the Viscaynes, one of his earliest groups. In an instance of foreshadowing, the Viscaynes, like the Family Stone, were multiracial at a time when that was exceedingly uncommon. ('To me, it was a white group with one Black guy,' Stone wrote in his memoir.) The Viscaynes recorded in downtown San Francisco underneath the Geary Theater, now known as the Toni Rembe Theater, and associated with the nonprofit company American Conservatory Theater. Stone attended broadcasting school in San Francisco and was then a D.J. at two local AM stations: KSOL, based out of San Mateo, and then KDIA, in Oakland. Both were aimed at Black listeners; KSOL, Stone wrote, had even changed its call sign to remind listeners that it played soul. But Stone again broke the mold, playing not just soul and R&B, but the Beatles and Bob Dylan. 'Some KSOL listeners didn't think a R&B station should be playing white acts,' he later wrote. 'But that didn't make sense to me. Music didn't have a color. All I could see was notes, styles and ideas.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
