Newly launched beauty brand Owow has created a product that will give you super silky locks for up to three months – and all that’s needed is one simple application. How does it work, we hear you ask? The application is really easy, and compromises of a powerful trio of shampoo, conditioner and a smoothing treatment that help moisturise, nourish and soften your hair. To achieve results, you’ll need to first apply the Owow treatment to clean, dry hair. Depending on your hair thickness, you can leave this on for 40-60 minutes, before washing it off and blow-drying. The final part of the process is to seal the treatment by straightening your hair. And that’s it – sleek tresses will be yours!

Last modified on Feb 26, 2021 11:25 GMT Katherine Robinson Face coverings can be challenging for glasses wearers. Wondering how to stop glasses steaming up or slipping when wearing your mask? There’s plenty you can do. Learn the best anti-fog styles of face coverings for spectacles and tips to stop them fogging up As the pandemic continues in 2021, Face masks are probably now on your mental checklist of things not to forget when you leave home. Especially now face coverings are mandatory in most places, including shops, supermarkets, shopping centres, public transport and taxis and private hire vehicles. Also, many schools have rules in place when they are open. But for glasses wearers, they can be challenging. The biggest complaint is that wearing them means glasses lenses can get steamed up, making it difficult to see. And with the mask and glasses jostling for space on your nose, one or the other can end up slipping down. Annoying!

"So the air going out when you breathe through your mask doesn't go up and fog up your glasses. Also the glasses should be over the mask not under the mask."
