5 Easy Ways to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Every time summer rolls around, I want my hair to be longer. Maybe it’s something about the way it feels in an ocean breeze, or maybe it’s the vision of sun kissed, flowing locks. Whatever the case, I need my hair to begin growing faster, immediately. If you can relate, read on as I break down product and habit-related solutions that will help you get curtain-length locks in no time. Scalp health is key When focusing on growing out your hair, don’t forget about your scalp. Trichologist Penny James, of NYC’s Penny James Salon , encourages people to think about scalp health as a key component of hair growth. She recommends Hair Clinic Active Scalp Treatment, which she carries at her salon, for its ability to “make hair thicker, healthier and stronger starting with the roots.” This product also works to increase blood flow and metabolism in the scalp at the roots of your hair—resulting in faster growth. Dr. Iris Rubin, dermatologist and Co-Founder of SEEN Hair Care , also has years foc

6 of the Best CBD Skincare Products You Can Buy at Sephora

When it comes to skincare, Sephora doesn’t play. Ever since hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) took over as the hottest beauty and wellness ingredient, we’ve seen it infused into all kinds of lotions, potions, and serums. But the beauty giant would never add a new category without doing its homework. That's precisely why Sephora’s CBD selection is hyper-curated. “We tested hundreds of CBD products,” says Cindy Deily, Sephora VP of Skincare Merchandising. Considering texture, absorption, potency, and demonstrable results, only CBD sourced from high-quality full- or broad-spectrum, domestically-sourced hemp made the cut. Unlike CBD isolate, the above still has terpenes, omega fatty acids, and other beneficial vitamins and minerals. Though CBD is a powerhouse on its own, it plays well with others. In Sephora’s standout offerings, it’s paired with other powerful actives to exponentially boost CBD’s transformative properties. Below, the best-bud pairings to look for, plus six of the mos

Sushi Rice

Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Season salmon with salt and place in skillet skin side down. Cook, shaking pan occasionally to redistribute oil in skillet, until skin is very crisp and deep golden brown, 7–9 minutes. Turn salmon and continue to cook just until very lightly browned on the flesh side (by this point it should be nearly cooked through), about 2 minutes longer. Using a spatula to hold fish from tumbling out of skillet (or just transfer salmon to a plate while you do this), pour off fat from skillet. (Return fish to skillet if needed before proceeding.) Reduce heat to low and add glaze; cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Baste salmon with glaze and cook, basting occasionally, until glaze evenly coats fish, about 1 minute longer.

How to Switch Your Hair Routine to Organic, Natural Products

CoffeeAndMilk Getty Images It's time to consider a beauty routine detox. When we purge out chemicals found in many traditional beauty products, everybody wins: the planet, animals not being used for testing, and us. But like any diet, the struggle to put it into practice—and stick with it—is real. If you’ve never thought about switching over to a more green routine, consider that the United States has only banned 13 toxic chemicals from beauty products, compared to close to 1,400(!) prohibited ingredients in Europe. That means we are applying potentially-harmful substances onto our bodies daily without even realizing it. Fortunately, an abundance of both up-and-coming and established brands are taking responsibility into their own hands by offering safer alternatives with responsibly-sourced ingredients. Even drugstores now offer a plethora of options, while new specialty e-tailers, such as The Detox Market, Safe and Chic, and subscription box Love Goodly are helping consume

Chile Vinegar

How Visible Tattoos Went From Taboo to Widely Accepted

Florence Goupil Getty Images From the tiny envelope inked on my nape to the tube of lipstick above my right ankle, I have 15 tattoos in total. At least, I’m pretty sure I do. I’m starting to lose count. As a writer, I blame my body art obsession on my natural inclination to tell stories. When something interesting happens, I use it as the inspiration for a pitch...and then for a tattoo. I teamed up with my childhood best friend to get my first one: To celebrate our eighteenth birthdays, we each got one side of a set of curly brackets (I got the left side, and she got the right). The day after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, I walked the two blocks to my neighborhood parlor and asked for the letters “G-R-R-R-L” on the back of my left upper arm, eager to express my womanly rage. And though I loathed growing up in the South at the time, my most recent ink of peaches is an homage to my home state of Georgia. (You know what absence does.) "Nearly half of U.S. millennials

Spring Chicken Salad with Smashed Green Beans

Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then immediately turn chicken with tongs.
