Bradley Cooper’s star has shined incandescently since his Hollywood breakthrough in the 2009 explosive comedy The Hangover. Since then, Cooper has scooped leading roles in American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook and The Place Beyond The Pines. So there’s certainly no doubting Cooper’s credentials in front of the camera; but is there any reason to doubt the surety of his follicles? Well, the Hollywood rumour mill has been churning, and despite those beautifully tight curls in American Hustle, rumour has it that Cooper’s follicles’ days are numbered. Of course not all rumours can be believed, and certainly not those emanating from Hollywood, but if the veracity of the reports are proved, this will surely bring a little solace to all those...
Hair colouring is a matter of chemistry which has now developed to a very common lifestyle for some. For a numbers of years now the hair colouring industry has been exceptionally profitable. The trade of at home hair dye kits alone is worth a projected £321million annually. Hair lightening / bleaching facts The bleaching process is used to lighten hair. This is done by the peroxide agent which normally has a yellow tint that reacts with the melanin in hair removing the colour. This is known as an irreversible chemical reaction, where the bleach dissolves the melanin molecule within your hair. At this point there is still melanin present in your hair, however the dissolved molecules are colourless. Once your...

Etiquette should prevail of course: he who receives a head massage must repay the favour in kind, whether that’s cooking dinner or allowing the other half to dominate the TV remote for the evening. It’s certainly worth it though, even if you end up in front of a Holby City double bill. The benefits of a head massage The potential benefits of a head massage are plentiful. Firstly, it feels great. I know that’s not particularly scientific, or scientific at all in fact, but if you ever want to see...
There has long been a link between stress and hair loss. We often say a task or event is enough “to make us tear our hair out”, but perhaps we don’t have to; perhaps if we’re stressed enough, our hair will fall out of its own accord. It’s a scary thought. In fact, that alone is enough to induce stress. The trouble with stress is its completely unavoidable, and the more conscious you are of avoiding it, the more stressed you are likely to be.
