But one woman left people stunned after she revealed she decided to get a 'hair tattoo' to spruce up her look. 3 The hair fan asked for a fun design but was left disappointed Credit: Facebook 3 In just two days the design was gone, she claimed Credit: Facebook Amanda Hughes took to the popular Facebook group That's It, I'm Hair Shaming to show off her new look, but not everyone was convinced by the unique style, including Amanda herself. In the viral post she explained she wanted a hair tattoo of the fictional horror character Hannibal Lecter, created by American novelist Thomas Harris, and later played by Anthony Hopkins. But Amanda admitted she didn't realise the style would be created using pens. She wrote: "I went for a hair tattoo of Hannibal Lecter. Having no idea that he would be using pen for most and got charged a fortune for this." According to Amanda, the funky style washed out "two days later", leaving her with an awkward and bumpy-looking style. "The person who did this did not respond well to me messaging about it, but he really wanted to do the design and said I ruined his weekend to which I responded well you've ruined my hair. "Anyway thought I'd give you all a laugh the after pic was a week later," she added. In the post, Amanda also showed off a picture of the designed freshly etched into her hair, and one just two days later.

And a second chimed in: "I mean... it turned out better than I imagined any Hannibal Lecter hair design to look... what exactly were you expecting here?" Meanwhile, someone else wrote: "It sounds like you went in with no idea of how these work. It looked awful anyway." "They did some hair tattooing and used chalk? Did you not see the tools they used? "Did you ask if a pencil would last more than a single hair wash? That second photo is NOT two days later," another commented. And others though the design was worth every penny: "You said 'a fortune' and I was like oh no that's so bad…. But £40?? You get what ya pay for Lol." "The alternative was to have all the white shaved bald on your head and these designs stay drops for maybe a week," another pointed out. 3 The woman wasn't happy with the finished style Credit: Getty

Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. Not looking after your scalp Your scalp is an extension of the skin on your forehead and it should be given similar attention and care to the skin on your face. Scalp health is vital to healthy hair growth. Your scalp is your hair's support system, and a flaky or inflamed scalp can contribute to hair loss and also impact the quality of hairs as they emerge from the follicle. Do cleanse and tone your scalp frequently. Try to leave no more than 2 days between shampoos. High heat styling The most common cause of hair damage is high heat styling – either with a blow dryer or straighteners. While it may take a little longer, a low to medium heat setting will give you great styling results, but without dryness, breakage and split ends. You should also always use a heat protective product such as our Daily Damage Defence and don't hold your dryer right next to your strands. Not eating well Even if you're using the best products in the world, if you aren't eating well your hair's condition and rate of growth won't be at its optimal. Hair is a dispensable tissue as it isn't needed for physical survival. This means nutrients are first used to keep essential cells functioning, with hair receiving them last.

I tracked where every item was from during my Costco trip and saw just how much the US relies on global trade
During my monthly Costco shopping trip, I kept track of where every item I purchased was from. Most produce was imported from Mexico and Central America, which have been hit with steep tariffs. Trump implemented a 90-day pause on the "reciprocal" tariffs announced in April. President Donald Trump's trade war has made shoppers, including me, pay closer attention to what they buy and where it's from. Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs on over 180 countries are expected to raise consumer prices on cars, electronics, and groceries. Some customers have begun following Mark Cuban's advice and stocking up on essentials before some tariffs take effect following a 90-day pause. On my latest Costco shopping trip, I tracked where every item I bought was from to see how much of my grocery list could be affected by tariffs. Take a look at my monthly Costco restock. I shop at Costco in New York City about once a month to stock up on groceries and household items. Manhattan's only Costco store is inside a larger shopping complex in East Harlem. The first thing I put in my cart was mini fruit bars from That's It, which are produced in the US with both American and imported ingredients. While the bars are made in the US, according to the company's website That's It sources ingredients from the US as well as countries with "reciprocal" tariffs, including Peru (10%), Mexico (25%), the Philippines (17%), India (26%), Belgium (20%), Madagascar (47%), and Canada (25%). The variety pack of 24 fruit bars costs $13.99. The KIND bars I bought also combined domestic and imported products. The box said the bars were made in the USA "with domestic and imported ingredients," while KIND's website says all KIND products are manufactured in Austria and Great Britain. KIND did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Austria is subject to the 20% tariff as it is part of the European Union, while the United Kingdom receives a 10% tariff. A box of 22 KIND bars costs $20. Kirkland's organic roasted seaweed snack was imported from South Korea, which Trump imposed a 25% tariff on. I like crushing seaweed in salmon bowls or just eating it as a snack. A package of 10 boxes of seaweed costs $10.99. Passion orange guava juice, also known as "POG," was produced in the US. I often use a splash of POG to flavor seltzer and smoothies. I bought two bottles, which cost $11.98. Costco's Kirkland-brand lemonade didn't say where it was produced, but Costco's US branch distributes it. Costco uses different suppliers for its various house-brand Kirkland Signature products. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding sourcing its lemonade. Two 3-quart bottles were priced at $6.29. Barilla's packaging said their pasta was "made in the USA with USA and imported ingredients." The pasta variety pack, which contained farfalle, elbow macaroni, and rotini for easy weeknight dinners, was priced at $9.49. Barilla didn't respond to a request for comment on where it imports its ingredients from. Nature's Path organic granola, which I like to mix into yogurt, was labeled "Product of the USA." "Nature's Path does not currently purchase any products internationally that would require 'product of…' labeling," Nature's Path wrote on their website. A 35.3-ounce bag of pumpkin seed and flax granola retailed for $8.99. This tomato medley was grown in Mexico and distributed by a Canadian company. Before his "Liberation Day" announcement, Trump had already imposed a 25% tariff on both countries. Mexico and Canada were not included in Trump's April list of "reciprocal" tariffs because he'd already announced a 25% tariff on all Mexican and Canadian goods that aren't compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The 2-pound package of tomatoes retailed for $7.99. Individual packets of mashed avocado were imported from Mexico. The package of 16 individual avocado cups costs $12.99. I most often use them to make avocado toast. The raspberries I added to my cart were another product of Mexico. The 12-ounce container retailed for $5.99. My favorite mini cucumbers were from Canada, which, like Mexico, had previously received a 25% tariff. The snack-sized cucumbers from Mucci Farms cost $5.99 for a 1.5-pound bag. The purple grapes Costco had in stock were from Chile, where Trump imposed a 10% tariff. Three pounds of purple grapes were priced at $7.49. Costco's bananas were imported from Ecuador, which was also hit with a 10% tariff. I bought two bunches, which totaled $3.98. The Kirkland organic frozen broccoli I bought came from Ecuador, as well. This pack of four microwavable 1-pound bags of frozen broccoli, priced at $9.49, makes it easy to prepare a side of vegetables for any meal quickly. I picked up a pineapple from Costa Rica, which was levied with a 10% tariff. The pineapple cost $3.99. Baby carrots were among the few produce items I added to my cart, grown in the US. The organic baby carrots came in two 32-ounce bags and cost $6.99. My go-to Pink Lady apples were grown in the US, as well. The 4-pound bag cost $6.49. A twin pack of Stroehmann Dutch Country whole wheat bread was baked in the US. Stroehmann is a subsidiary of Bimbo Bakeries USA, the largest commercial baking company in the US that also owns Sara Lee, Little Bites, and Entenmann's, among other brands. Two 24-ounce loaves cost $5.49. Nasoya tofu said it was made in the US with "100% North American soybeans," which could mean they're sourced from other North American countries. Nasoya did not immediately respond to an inquiry regarding sourcing its soybeans. I use extra-firm tofu as a meatless protein in numerous recipes in my rotation. Four packages of tofu came in a box and sold for $6.79. Costco's house brand of two-dozen cage-free large eggs was from the US. When I shopped at Costco in February, I had to rush to grab the last carton of eggs due to supply-chain issues amid the avian flu epidemic. Thankfully, the refrigerated section was stocked with an ample supply of eggs this time. The carton I bought cost $7.69. Lactaid lactose-free milk was American-made. I prefer buying lactose-free milk because it doesn't spoil as quickly. A gallon of Lactaid 2% milk costs $5.59. The only non-food items I bought were American-made Kleenex tissues and a bouquet grown in Colombia, subject to a 10% tariff. The tissues cost $21.49, and the flower bouquet costs $17.99. Out of the 23 items I purchased, at least 12 were imported or contained imported ingredients. I spent $218.28 on about a month's worth of groceries. Roughly half of my cart was full of items from countries subject to the new "reciprocal" tariffs, which shows me how far-reaching Trump's trade policies are and how much my grocery bill may increase. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Read the original article on Business Insider
