During the past partial lockdown in Singapore, I have given up on my messy hair by either tying it up in a messy bun or twisting my hair into a side braid.

I have thick Asian hair according to my hair stylist, and I do air-dry it on most days, but in the bathroom, after a quick wash, it can get all tangly and messy again. I’m sure like most of you, wishing on beach waves all-year long would be a dream come true, but not for me.

Like your skin, hair needs plenty of care and nourishment. Whether it’s natural, coloured, thin, thick, or wavy, there are some lifestyle changes you can make to give your mane the care it needs.

Besides adding hair care like oils, conditioners and shampoos, you may also take supplements (after consulting with your doctor) if you find that you’re suffering from hair loss or damaged hair (many contributing factors including diet and stress).

We round up a few hair products that we think may strengthen your hair.

Solgar, Skin, Nails & Hair, Advanced MSM Formula | S$25.85

Many nutrients cannot be delivered to the body externally. This formula is designed to help support collagen, a major component of skin, nails and hair that can decrease as we age.

Taking nutrients like Vitamin C and Copper internally may help support hair, nail and skin health.

California Gold Nutrition, Choline Silica Complex, bioavailable collagen support for hair, skin & nails | S$SG26.74

Just three days of taking it, hair fall reduced by 80%.”

Ukraine fires several US-made longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time
Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia, officials said Tuesday, marking the first time Kyiv used the weapons that way in 1,000 days of war. The use of the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, came as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons, opening the door to a potential nuclear response by Moscow to even a conventional attack by any nation supported by a nuclear power. A Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military posted a video Tuesday that it says shows U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine.

The poll, the first on China's economy by Reuters since Donald Trump's sweeping election victory on Nov. 5, also predicts that the President-elect will resist starting off with blanket 60% tariffs on Chinese goods.
