How to make thin hair look thicker (and cleaner)
The Living Proof spray was my gateway into a whole world of hairstyle-reviving products. I've been really impressed with the just-launched G5 3-in-1 Dry Shampoo by Typebea (£26, Typebea), which is a relatively new player in the haircare industry. The clever co-founder, Anna Lahey, is also the name behind the impressive collagen brand Vida Glow. We're off to a good start. This is an aerosol dry shampoo that includes the patented ingredient Baicapil, which is clinically proven to help hair regrowth. Time will tell if this dry shampoo actually helps the hair to grow, but I like how skincare-driven the formulas in this haircare line are. Apparently dry shampoo is the most requested product by Typebea's customers – and it's a great one at that. The same goes for JVN, the haircare brand founded by Queer Eye presenter Jonathan Van Ness. The brand's new Perfèct The Essential Dry Shampoo (£26, Space NK) was formulated for even the most sensitive scalps. It also borrows technology from skincare, this time inspired by micellar water (which is used in gentle skin cleansers and attracts dirt particles via tiny droplets of oil suspended in water). It's refreshing on the scalp and leaves zero residue. Elsewhere, the haircare brand Ouai (pronounced 'way') has launched a reformulation of its dry shampoo, Super Dry (£26, Space NK). It works a treat on all hair types and colours and is honestly one of the best-smelling haircare products on the market. The scent – it comes in Melrose Place and Cape Town – lingers for hours. Cape Town is particularly lovely, with notes of ginger, spearmint and tomato leaves. Finally, if you don't like the idea of an aerosol, try the new dry shampoo by Fable & Mane (£28, Fable & Mane). It uses tapioca starch to absorb excess oil and has the added benefit of rosemary extract to make the scalp feel more refreshed. Also, like all of Fable & Mane's products, it smells fantastic – a warming mix of saffron, nutmeg and jasmine. It adds body and volume to fine hair, too.

Reality TV star is unrecognizable in rare throwback photo at age 12... can you guess who this superstar is?
Today, he's a reality TV star and podcast host that has conquered his demons and found his place in the world. But back when he was 12, he didn't feel as though he belonged and feared he would be misunderstood if he were to be his true self. This star is now known for their hairstyling prowess and stars on one of the biggest shows where he helps conduct life-changing makeovers. However he got candid about his childhood fears as he shared a throwback photo of himself at age 12. In the photo, the future star wore a blue T-shirt, jeans, and several necklaces as he posed by a bike. Can you guess who it is? It's Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Van Ness is now releasing a book entitled Let Them Star, and on Thursday shared the throwback photo along with a meaningful message about the page-turner and the limitations he perceived about his hometown as a child. 'This is 12 year old Jonathan. He didn't see a possibility of staying in his hometown after high school. 'He didn't see a place where he could build a community that would see and accept him for who we was,' he continued. 'He wasn't able to see a world where small towns celebrated and lifted queer people. 'This 12-year-old Jonathan would escape in the fantasies of Casper, Harriet the Spy and Now & Then. 'I wrote Let Them State for not just this Jonathan, but for the millions of other people who have felt like they don't belong or can't see a future for themselves where they are.' He continued: 'I want this Jonathan and all people (young and of all ages) to see themselves in Sully, and in this book. 'I want them to not only see but believe that no matter where they are, there can not only survive, but thrive. He concluded: 'That Quincy, Illinois is home for this 12-year-old Jonathan and always will be. And he doesn't have to run away to feel accepted for who he is.' The book Van Ness wrote is called Let Them Stare and it hits bookstore shelves on May 20. Previously, Van Ness, 38, who is nonbinary but uses all pronouns, blasted a bombshell Rolling Stone report which had claimed that they were emotionally 'abusive' on set of the reality series as not being 'based in reality.' They appeared on the Table Manners With Jessie And Lennie Ware podcast last summer and said: 'I think a lot of people were like looking for a reason to hate me or like looking for a reason to be like, "See, I always knew that they were a fake c*** and this is the proof."' 'He didn't see a place where he could build a community that would see and accept him for who we was,' he continued Jonathan thanked the support system they had while saying they tried to keep off of social media during that period. The reality star explained: 'My family was so supportive of my husband and my team, but I didn't even get on social media or, like, look at my phone for three weeks.' Jonathan said their castmates first learned of the expose back in December 2023 and they claimed that a lot of the information that had been gathered was 'taken out of context' in order to make them look 'as bad as possible.' They said: 'I think people forget no matter how famous you are you're still a person. 'That article came at like an incredibly vulnerable time, like for my hair care company, for like my whole career. It just was really rough.' Jonathan went on to completely the article as being 'completely untrue' and alleged that it was done 'in bad faith.' However they did admit that there may have been some times when they had snapped at people or 'could have done better.' The bombshell report Jonathan was responding to was published by Rolling Stone in March 2024. According to multiple production sources, who all spoke to the publication anonymously, Van Ness made the show increasingly difficult to produce due to his behind-the-scenes behavior. They were accused of being 'emotionally abusive', having 'rage issues', and being a 'nightmare.' 'There's a real emotion of fear around them when they get angry. It's almost like a cartoon where it oozes out of them,' claimed one source. 'It's intense and scary,' they added, further claiming that Van Ness was a 'yeller' who would 'explode once a week'. One source said that Van Ness has a 'very warm, very charismatic' side to their personality which is what the public sees, but there's another side that comes out behind the scenes. 'At least once a day, they would need to yell at somebody. It might be something small, but there's always going to be somebody to point out and blame and make the villain of the day,' they alleged. Rolling Stone also claimed that the Queer Eye cast were engaged in 'petty disputes and competition' with each other over screen time and who was the 'top star' on the show. Queer Eye, starring Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Van Ness, premiered on Netflix in 2018 and immediately became a pop culture phenomenon. While each cast member has gone on to find success on their own terms, Van Ness was arguably the breakout star of the series. Not only does Van Ness have the most social media followers of the group, they have published three books -including a New York Times bestseller- and launched the hit podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness. The podcast was turned into its own standalone Netflix series in 2022. Van Ness also has a successful haircare line called JVN, which is stocked in Sephora.
