How To Be Beautiful: Get right to the root of the problem
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's tempting to take a similar line on your beauty routine as you might on household cleaning. Which is to say, prioritise things other people can actually see.
That's not slovenliness; that's a pragmatic response to modern life's demands on your time. If you have a job, it's perfectly acceptable to have neither swept under your bed nor exfoliated your knees since last summer.
In bodily terms, though, we know the connection between what you can and can't see is important. Your scalp may get fewer compliments than your hair, say, but it's the site of the follicular action that determines the eventual state of your tresses and demands a bit more attention than we're wont to give it.
Don't worry: this time investment has decent returns – a little TLC for your scalp now means a lot less will be necessary to make your hair look half-decent later on.
