Get salon-quality results for a fraction of the price with these at-home hair dye kits: Miiroko
Whether it's the cost of living crisis or the fact that at-home treatments have come a long way from the days when our mothers used them, DIY hair kits have never been more popular — but it's hard to sort the quality from the useless.
Enter MIIROKO.
Billed as a salon-grade, demi-permanent hair colour that is ammonia-free, environmentally conscious, created and approved by real hairdressers, it promises no harsh chemicals and no overpowering smells — just thoughtful, effective colour that fits right into your life.
You can touch up greys, enrich your colour or banish any summer brassiness with one of the brand's bestselling kits.
The dyes start from as little as $65, and for that price you get an all-in-one colour kit for a clean and easy colour application at home.
Each kit comes with everything you need to recreate a salon experience at home, including application brushes, a bowl, gloves, cape and hair clips.
At present, MIIROKO offers six different colours spanning from 'blonde' to 'very dark brown'.
Those who feel uncertain about dipping into the world of home dye (and who wouldn't) can watch one of the brand's many helpful tutorial videos to learn how to do it yourself.
You can also take a quiz on MIIROKO's website to discover which hair colour works best for you.
Reviews online are glowing for the company, where the kits have an impressive five-star rating from women across Australia who now wouldn't colour their hair any other way.
' Absolutely love this colour! Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to refresh their colour at home,' one impressed shopper wrote.
'Beautiful colour, my husband applied it for me and he had no trouble with it. I'll be a repeat customer for sure,' another added.
' Thank you for my beautiful colour! It covered my greys and left my hair looking healthy and refreshed. It was so easy to use,' a third reviewer said.
MIIROKO was formed when three hairdressers were talking over wine about a client who was doing their colour at home, but didn't know what colour to pick.
They wanted to help this client out, but no home colour kit seemed good enough for them to confidently recommend.
Hairdresser Claire Saito spent the next three years in Japan working to create the perfect Home Hair Colour kit.
After three years in Tokyo, Claire shared the results of her work: MIIROKO.
Since then, the brand has only gone from strength to strength, with many turning to the Canberra-based brand as an alternative to pricey salon treatments but still the same results.

Robbie Williams gets 'Heaps Normal' in new collab with Canberra-born brand
A Canberra-born non-alcoholic brewery has now got a British pop star as a creative collaborator. It was announced on Monday that Robbie Williams has joined forces with Heaps Normal as a creative collaborator and an investor as the brand enters the British market. The musician, who was last in Australia over Christmas and New Year's for his biopic Better Man, said the decision to team up with the beer brand was a personal one. "Teaming up with Heaps Normal is personal for me," Williams said. "I saw what they were doing, creatively and culturally, when I was down in Australia, and I really wanted to get involved. "I love the ethos of the Heaps brand, and I'm excited for what we're going to achieve together around the world." After first encountering Heaps Normal during his recent tour of Australia, Williams messaged the brand, and the relationship grew from there. In June, the singer also did an advertisement on his social media for the beer brand. "I met the Heaps Normal guys when I was down in Australia, and they showed me the mission they're on to change the way people play. I'm impressed - the love is real," he wrote in an Instagram post. While there are no specific details about what is in the works, Williams plans to work with the Heaps Normal team on creative campaigns, cultural moments, and new product ideas - all aimed at sparking more honest conversations about how and why we drink. The brand also said that Williams' commitment was long-term. Since it was launched out of Canberra in 2020, Heaps Normal - led by punk promoter Andy Miller, brewer Ben Holdstock and pro surfer Jordy Smith - has become Australia's top-selling independent non-alc beer. As well as picking up a slew of awards along the way, Heaps Normal has been at the forefront of the non-alcoholic movement here in Australia. And while its music roots might not be as deep as Williams', the team at Heaps Normal has also been a supporter of the live music industry down under. Now, it's setting its sights on the UK. After soft launching into the market in June, Heaps Normal's products are now in more than 170 pubs and retailers throughout the country. "Heaps Normal isn't just about non-alc beer - it's about culture," Heaps Normal co-founder and CEO Andy Miller said. "Robbie gets that. He's been on his own journey, and he brings an incredible creative energy that lines up with what we stand for as a brand. "For a small, independent business, having Robbie advocating for us and spreading the Heaps Normal ethos to his community is wild. It's a long way from the early days of Heaps Normal when we were getting laughed out of pubs, that's for sure."

Luxury renovation plans revealed for Kyle Sandilands' coastal holiday home
Loading content... Renovation plans are underway for Kyle Sandilands' $1.8 million holiday house on the Central Coast. In November, the 54-year-old KIIS FM radio host snapped up the three-bedroom, two-bathroom fixer-upper in the beachside suburb of Copacobana as a holiday house with his wife, Tegan Kynaston, and their toddler, Otto. Planning alerts reveal the couple has obtained a complying development certificate for the property, with the project set to cost $670,000. The proposed works are for a new in-ground swimming pool and landscaping. Architectural plans designed by Central Coast-based firm SiteDesign + Studios reveal a striking resort-style pool area. The 10-metre pool includes a shallow "beach" area as a safe place for son Otto to take a dip, and a white rendered wall for privacy. It appears that privacy is a key factor for Sandilands. In addition to the privacy wall, the plans include a one-metre high vertical balustrade around the alfresco patio and planter boxes with privacy planting. "Privacy planting surrounding the pool and privacy screens will be provided to soften the development to the neighbours," the application reads. The alfresco area also features a white architectural concrete bench seat. Designed with his young son in mind, the application states: "The pool has been located in a position to make it safe to access and to be visual from the house balcony to watch over children swimming". Six trees will be removed from the site to build the pool. Set on a 588-square metre block, the two-storey house has picturesque views of Copacabana Beach and Macmaster Headland. The current floorplan comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms and open-plan living spaces, including a large rumpus room on the ground level. The property hit the market with George Brand Real Estate Avoca Beach in January 2024 with an asking price of $1.995 million. After failing to secure a buyer after 11 months on-market, Sandilands swooped in and purchased the unrenovated house for $1.8 million. The listing described the property as "soaked in sunlight and positioned to maximise the views" and offering "a family-focused layout with an ideal construction for future development". Other property features include ducted air conditioning, secure gated entry and landscaped gardens. The $1.8 million transaction is small change for cashed-up Sandilands, who, along with co-host Jackie O Henderson, signed a decade-long deal with Australian Radio Network, understood to be worth around $200 million. Shortly after making his move into the Central Coast property market, Sandilands offloaded a luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday house in far-north Queensland for around $2.55 million in December. The property in Port Douglas spent 109 days on-market and sold after the asking price was reduced from $2.9 million. Sandilands paid $1.3 million for the secluded rainforest retreat in 2020 but chose to sell to find a weekender closer to Sydney. "When it was just Tegan and I, the place was absolutely perfect for us because of its private and tropical location overlooking the water," Sandilands said. "Our two-year-old son Otto loves the beach, which can be difficult to go to up around Port Douglas due to the crocodiles. "We're going to relocate somewhere a bit closer to Sydney where we don't have to worry about hungry reptiles." The couple shares a luxury home in the ritzy Sydney suburb of Vaucluse, which they purchased for $14 million in 2023. Sandilands also owns a palatial residence on acreage at Glenorie in Sydney's Hills District, which he bought for $3 million in 2022. Sandilands made headlines in February after announcing on-air that doctors had found an aneurysm in his brain. He also has a chest aneurysm that will require surgery. "I was told by my medical team, which sounds like I'm already very sick, to have a medical team, that I have a brain aneurysm and it requires immediate attention, brain surgery," he said.

Aussie Real Housewife lists Palm Beach-inspired home, and it's breathtaking
Brisbane-based entrepreneur Fleur Madden, who was set to star in the Real Housewives of Brisbane, before it was axed in favour of another Sydney spin-off, has listed her striking six-bedroom home for sale. The luxury home, which was completed two years ago takes its style cues from the timeless grandeur of Palm Beach in Florida and boasts one of Brisbane's most exclusive addresses at 55 Canopus Street, Coorparoo. Madden, who shares the luxury home with her husband, Jimmy Gwisai, and their two children, says they have decided to sell the home, as the family plans to spend more time in America. "We planned to be here for 10 (years), but life has new adventures ahead for us," says Madden, who runs The Ginsburg Firm, a coaching and consulting firm for businesswomen. "Jimmy is a mining executive, who works mostly overseas. We needed a more central base than Australia for him to come and go. We will be dividing our time between the US and Australia over the next few years," she said. Records reveal the couple bought the post-war family home, which had been held by the same family for 30 years, for $1.486 million in 2021, before reimagining it completely. Known as 'The Palms', the house was completed in late 2023 and the family have been living in the resort-style residence ever since. Madden says the home was inspired by a residence she fell in love with in Palm Beach and she was determined to incorporate that elegant coastal style, with soft curves, arches, and statement finishes, into her new family home in Brisbane. "We do like American-style architecture. Our last few homes we have built, we have taken inspiration from the states. I had seen a similar home to ours from Palm Beach, Florida in 2018 and held on to that image," she explains. "When it came time to designing a new home, I knew I wanted it to be unique for Brisbane and keep the grandeur of the Florida architecture but make it family friendly. "I feel like with this home I really understood my own style and how I wanted that to translate through the home," she says. The facade of the striking residence makes a bold first impression, with feature stone archways, a gated entry and established palm trees setting the tone. The entrance makes an equally impactful statement, with its blush front door and gold shell-shaped knocker, an impressive, curved staircase, soaring three-metre-high ceilings, and checkerboard blush and white terrazzo tiles. Inside stays true to the splendour of Florida's unique architectural style, including a series of arched doorways. "The homes we build are always one of one, you won't see this home again, unless you go to Florida," Madden jokes. "The colour palette is super soft, white, blush and sage which really creates a calming environment. Madden says creating the home was a family affair. Her brother Nick Madden from Groove Properties built the grand home and her interior designer mother, Tracy, from Tracy Madden Interiors helped with the interior design. "I worked with both of them to bring my vision to life on this home. It is truly special to build a family home for my family, with your family literally working on every element," she says. Highlights include a large, open-plan living zone with a marble fireplace which connects seamlessly to a state-of-the-art kitchen with stone benchtops and a statement pendent suspended over the bench. There is also a curved LED-lit eating nook, a separate and spacious dining room with a statement palm chandelier and a custom 51-bottle wine display, four modern bathrooms, with floor to ceiling tiling and arched mirrors and a stunning master bedroom, complete with dual walk-in robes, a chandelier-lit ensuite with a large double shower, and a private balcony overlooking the park. Madden says it is almost impossible to choose her favourite part of the luxurious home. "This home has so many beautiful features, it is hard to just pick one. The entrance is a statement... it sets the tone for the home and it's a wow moment," she says. "The curved staircase was always a must-have. Growing up, my parents' home had a curved staircase, and it was such a showstopper. Both my brother and I have put curved staircases in our homes." Madden says she also loves the unexpected features of the home, from a lounge wallpapered in a tropical kitsch, palm frond print, to a sage and blush boudoir-style bedroom, complete with decadently printed curtains. "Each bedroom and bathroom has its own personality and I love that, nothing about this home is generic or expected," Madden says. Outside, a covered, Palm Springs-inspired al fresco area features an outdoor kitchen and barbecue. Beyond that, a firepit, large glass-framed pool and manicured lawns create a private, resort-style retreat with space to play, swim, gather, relax and unwind. While Madden says she is sad to say goodbye to the house she poured her heart and soul into, she is certain that whoever calls 'The Palms' their home next will be a very lucky family. "This home is very personal to us. While we're excited for what's ahead, we hope the next family feels just as connected and at home here," she says.
