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.

Planning your hairstyle for the next special occasion?

The Awards season gave plenty of inspiration, but the Oscars 2016's red carpet saw a variety of hair and makeup that would inspire many looks this years, at events, weddings and any given black tie evening.

From amazing updos and waves, to accessories and messy styles. These are our picks:

Updos

A classic updo is a favourite in Hollywood, but this year there's been modern styles that give the bun and ponytail styles an update.

Huns and accessories

Hun stands for the half-up, half-down hair. Brie Larson wore hers with a vintage cintage-looking hair-piece, while Alicia Vikander wore it as a bun (making it look effortless, when it probably had more work into it than you think).
