I'm a celebrity hair stylist: Summer makes your hair look older, so here's the exact £22 Olaplex treatment to use and five other anti-ageing tips
Their hair has to look fresh, expensive and effortless – whether they're at a board meeting in Dubai or barefoot on the Amalfi Coast. What many people don't realise is the way we treat our hair in the summer has the power to age it, rapidly. Dullness, dehydration, brittleness, colour-fade and breakage all add up – and affect what I call your 'hair age'.

Molly-Mae fails to raise a smile as she prepares for Jet2 flight with Tommy Fury and daughter Bambi - after being labelled 'out of touch' for claiming she 'hasn't done one fun thing' all summer (despite spending much of it abroad)
Molly-Mae Hague didn't look happy as she prepared for her latest overseas break on Thursday, shortly after claiming her summer has been 'no fun' - despite spending much of it on holiday. To date, the former Love Island star has spent the warmer months enjoying first class trips to Dubai, Paris, Saint Tropez and Wimbledon 's Centre Court, where she was greeted like Hollywood royalty after being invited by tournament sponsor Evian water. But the evidently hard to please influencer has once again ruffled feathers across social media by claiming her summer has, thus far, been boring. 'I haven't socialised once,' she told her older sister Zoe in a recent YouTube vlog. 'I haven't done one social, fun thing... I haven't a life.' Little wonder then, that Molly-Mae, 26, looked restless as she prepared to board a Jet2 flight with partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi after arriving at a busy Manchester Airport. The influencer had her hands full with Bambi's empty pushchair and the family luggage while Tommy, 26, walked hand-in-hand with their young daughter, two. And there wasn't a smile to be seen as she waited at check-in with her family before helpful Jet2 staff came to their assistance. The holiday is the latest in a series of overseas trips for Molly-Mae, but neither the art and architecture of Paris, the sun-kissed glamour of Dubai nor the sweeping Mediterranean coastline of Saint Tropez have impressed. 'I will get to the end of summer without having done one fun thing,' she told her sister in July. 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I am going to get to the end of this summer, I haven't done one social fun thing.' The globe-trotting influencer added: 'I haven't a life. I haven't a life. It's not good. 'It's all kids related, if it's not work and kids I am not doing anything. It's not good. People going for a drink with their friends or to a beer garden. 'Oh my gosh, I don't remember the last time I did my hair and makeup and put an outfit on for something that wasn't work related. 'I don't do anything. Lets normalise it. For the girls that are going to get to the end of summer and not done one fun thing.' There wasn't a smile to be seen as she waited at check-in with her family before helpful Jet2 staff came to their assistance However Molly-Mae did accept that her recent trip to Wimbledon, during which she did indeed wear make-up and a £3,000 Dior dress, was a 'fun' occasion. She said: 'No that's a lie because people are going to say "You went to London in your last vlog and had a ball," and I did.' Unsurprisingly, Molly-Mae's latest comments didn't go down well with her two million-plus YouTube subscribers, with many claiming she was 'out of touch', 'tone-deaf' and 'always moaning'. The influencer started strong this summer by signing a seven-figure deal with consumer goods firm Unilever and starring in a new campaign for its detergent brand, Persil and Comfort, in May. She fronted a new 'delicate' fragrance range with her toddler Bambi, who made her campaign debut in a fluffy pink jumper and ballerina tutu. Putting her name behind their 'Heaven Scent' non-bio capsules, fabric conditioner and a scent booster elixir, Molly-Mae said: 'I can be really protective of what I use at home, especially since having Bambi. 'My skin's always been sensitive, so I need products I know are kind to my skin but still leave everything smelling amazing and this range honestly does both.' But it wasn't all work though as Molly-Mae jetted off on her sixth holiday of the year – once again to Dubai. She and Tommy travelled business class to one of the most luxurious hotels in the UAE, the five-star Jumeirah Al Naseem, where rooms cost a whopping £13,897 per night. The hotel has its own private 2km beach, a turtle rehabilitation sanctuary and an infinity pool – which the couple were pictured canoodling in. If that wasn't enough time away from home, that month Molly-Mae also visited private members' club Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds. She's not the first celebrity to be drawn to the £500-a-night retreat, with the Beckhams, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Taylor Swift also fans. Molly-Mae treated herself to a couple of nights in one of the cabins, where members can enjoy spa facilities, country bike rides and tennis. For her final trip in May, she flew on a private jet to Disneyland Paris to celebrate her 26th birthday alongside Tommy, their daughter and some of her best friends. She shared pictures from inside the jet alongside photos complete with birthday cake, balloons and plenty of Minnie Mouse ears. Come June, Molly-Mae told her YouTube followers she was jetting off yet again. First to Germany for two nights for a 'secret project' and then on to the South of France to shoot the summer campaign for her clothing brand Maebe. Basking in the sunshine at a luxury villa in St Tropez, the influencer shared various snaps of herself lounging on sunbeds and dining at luxury restaurants. Later that month, Molly-Mae was whisked back to the Cotswolds for a 'surprise staycation'. This time, she and Tommy stayed at the lavish £700-a-night hotel Estelle Manor which has a swimming pool, four restaurants, spa and farm on site. On her Instagram stories she showed off the plush accommodation as well as swimming in the pool with daughter Bambi. July didn't see Molly-Mae slow down either, as a trip to London beckoned. After a day shopping with friends and staying at the luxury Corinthia hotel in London, she attended Wimbledon as a guest of Evian water. On Sunday, she gave a tearful defence of her comments in a separate video. She told followers: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute... I don't care. I'm not going to not talk about it.'

ELLE has been a cornerstone of the fashion world for quite some time - 80 years to be exact.

The capsule includes a wide range of pieces, from structured denim and soft suiting to sequin separates and sculptural jewelry. There are also beauty elements, such as signature fragrances, rounding out the lifestyle approach. Price points range from $40 to $250, a decision the brand says is aimed at making fashion more accessible. ELLE Collection will be available at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's where it'll be available in sizes up to XL Sizing will be inclusive, with Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's carrying up to XL and international partners like HSN and TSC Canada offering sizes from XS to 3X. The collection reflects ELLE's goal of embracing diverse body types, age groups, and personal style preferences. 'This is more than a licensed line - it's an invitation to live the ELLE brand,' said Anne Billaz, CEO of Lagardère Active Enterprises. 'Whether it's a silk scarf, the perfect transitional trench, or a fierce shoe, we're inviting women to step into the same energy, optimism and individuality that have defined ELLE since 1945.' The launch also marks a strategic move for ELLE into the lifestyle space, bridging editorial storytelling with product design. Tracey Keay-Powell, President of ELLE Design Collective, emphasized the brand's mission to deliver accessible fashion with a Parisian edge. The rollout will continue globally this fall with retail broadcasts through QVC Italy, TVSN Australia, and TSC Rogers Canada. HSN is set to carry the line starting in Spring 2026. Each market will offer a curated assortment, tailored to local tastes and retail preferences. This adaptive approach is part of ELLE's strategy to stay relevant across both digital and traditional retail landscapes. While rooted in fashion, the collection seeks to connect with consumers on a lifestyle level, building a more personal relationship with the brand. As ELLE turns 80, it's not just looking back at its legacy - it's stepping into the next era of fashion.

Tesco shoppers discover 'MIRACLE in a bottle' hair spray that rivals Color Wow for just £5: 'Tackles the frizz and leaves hair smooth!'
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Beauty lovers are going wild after Tesco dropped a £5 alternative for the viral Color Wow Dream Coat – and the reviews are glowing. Shiny, frizz-free hair has long been the holy grail of celebrity beauty. Look at Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and even Claudia Winkleman or the endless 'glass hair' videos trending on TikTok. Leo Bancroft Wonder Coat Spray 150ml Using heat-activated polymer technology, the spray is said to create an invisible waterproof shield to repel humidity and lock in sleekness, making it a perfect choice for those with frizz-prone locks. Plus, it also doubles up as a heat protectant and shine booster. £5 (£3.50 Clubcard Price) Shop Now, Tesco has come through with a 'game-changing' product promising silky smooth strands in mere minutes and without the hefty price tag. Introducing Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, a £5 hair mist designed to deliver professional-quality results at home. Normally priced at just £5, it's currently on offer for £3.50 with a Tesco Clubcard until August 5 - that's a massive saving of £23.50 compared to Color Wow's £27 arrangement. The brain behind the budget haircare range is none other than Leo Bancroft, award-winning celebrity stylist and TV favourite. His new Tesco-exclusive haircare line includes shampoos, conditioners and treatments tailored to every hair type, from curl creams to glossing masks, all under £10. But it's the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray stealing the spotlight as a solution for sleek strands, with fans calling it 'a total game-changer'. Using heat-activated polymer technology, the spray is said to create an invisible waterproof shield to repel humidity and lock in sleekness, making it a perfect choice for those with frizz-prone locks. Plus, it also doubles up as a heat protectant and shine booster. And it's already proving popular with Tesco shoppers who have given it a near-perfect 4.9-star rating. 'Frizz-Free Shine in Seconds!' wrote one reviewer. 'I've been using the Leo Bancroft Wonder Coat Smoothing Spray and it's amazing! 'It tames frizz instantly and leaves my hair looking sleek and shiny without feeling greasy. Perfect for quick touch-ups or before styling.' 'I love how this spray smooths my hair and reduces frizz instantly,' a second shopper wrote. 'It gives a soft, sleek finish without feeling heavy or greasy.' 'Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the bottle, my hair is only ever this smooth after a visit to a salon. Salon quality at home!' another shopper raved. A fourth agreed, writing: ' Miracle in a bottle. Such a fantastic little spray, used it for the first time and already can see, which a noticeable difference in my wild hair.' Curious if the hype matched the results, I put it to the test. Straight off the bat, it couldn't be easier to use. After sectioning my damp hair and blow-drying with my trusty Dyson Supersonic, the effects were instant: serious shine, little to no frizz - especially at the crown, where my fine strands usually misbehave - and that just-left-the-salon finish. But best of all? I didn't have to follow with straighteners to see the effects, unlike with similar smoothing treatments. All it took was the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray, a brush, and a hair dryer. Nor did it leave my hair feeling sticky or heavy - even after a few generous spritzes. The scent is subtle (and does fade slightly throughout the day), but the shine and smoothness? It stuck around all day long. I wash my hair often since it's so fine and gets greasy fast, so I can't speak for its effect past 24 hours. But by day two, even after a restless night, my hair still looked noticeably smoother than usual. The hype? It's absolutely warranted. For a fiver, it actually delivers. If you're after a budget-friendly smoothing treatment to add polish and shine on a budget, Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, £5, could be your new go-to.
