The health and beauty stories we couldn't stop talking about this week.

Rainbow hair, don’t care.

 

 

 

Welcome to our beauty and health news wrap, where we bring you some of the best content from the newest member of the Mamamia digital family, The Glow. This week, we’re talking about rainbow-coloured hair (and how to get it), the face wash making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the 90s style revival that needs to go back to where it came from. Soon.

Here are the best health and beauty news tidbits of the week:

If there was ever a time to try rainbow hair, it’s right now. If you’re anything like us you’re probably dying (or is that dyeing?) to know how to get involved in the latest Hollywood hair trend, rainbow hair, so we’ve put together a guide. In similarly colourful hair news, Rita Ora has somehow convinced us that glitter hair gel is cool again. Help.

‘How my diet turned into an eating disorder’: This jaw-dropping, thoughtful admission resulted in death threats for a popular vegan blogger.

The 90s comeback we never saw coming… and hope goes away again soon: If you lived through the 90s the first time around, this particular style revival will make you cringe.

The 7 health supplements that aren’t snake oil: If the supplements aisle of your supermarket leaves you completely stumped, you need to read Melissa Wellham’s report on the pills that actually work.

The face wash so bad, it’s been banned: As editor Alyx explains, your favourite exfoliating scrub might be doing some serious damage – but not to your skin.

17 ways long nails ruin everything: Nicky Champ spent a day wearing long fake nails, and it had huge implications on her life. The struggle is real, friends.

This eyeliner made me throw all my makeup rules out the window: iVillage’s Avi thought her brown eye colour limited her makeup options, but finding this product changed all that.

This is what happens when you leave your contacts in too long: The health story that made the world shudder this week is surprisingly, morbidly fascinating.
