The real reason your hair looks and feels so good after a journey to the salon is to understand; it is all in the wash. It all comes down to knowing how to wash hair for your specific hair type. Read on for Hair By Gabie G-approved hair-washing advice, whether your hair is straight, curly or highly textured, thin, or thick. Plus, additional tips for any hair type.

Begin with a Nourishing Oil Massage

Take time for a pre-shampoo ritual. Oiling the hair has been considered the most efficient way to enrich the roots of your hair. Because washing your hair can strip the oil off your scalp, leading to hair loss and other issues. Oiling will increase moisture in the scalp, and the restorative properties of the oil you use will strengthen hair follicles, promoting growth. Pay close attention if you want to grow long hair because oiling becomes very specific. 

To get the most out of a hot hair oil massage. Gabie G personally uses Nurtiplenish from Aveda. It is a one-hundred percent naturally derived formula with a concentrated blend of 5 power oils; it offers multiple uses, delivers nutrient-powered hydration, shines for all hair types, helps restore hydration, and is also free from silicones, sulfate cleansers, parabens, gluten, mineral oil & petrolatum. At home, gently warm two tablespoons of coconut oil and two tablespoons of castor oil. Then add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, lavender, rose, geranium, or bergamot. Gabie G suggests rosemary oil stimulates hair growth.

Section your hair into four quadrants, apply the warm oil directly to your roots, and work it up into your scalp; while doing this, take the time to saturate a towel in warm water; just be sure to squeeze out the excess water when ready. After the roots have had some love, massage the scalp gently using your fingertips. Apply light pressure in circular motions for about five minutes. Cover your head with a warm wet towel and steam to stimulate your hair follicles for about ten minutes before washing. 

Water Temperature 

It is vital that you get the temperature of the water correct. No matter how relaxing it is, using hot water will increase damage to your hair while robbing the scalp of natural oil, leaving your hair parched and vulnerable. Water temps should be warm yet still cool. Sounds confusing, we know. The goal is a perfect lukewarm. Always caution on the side of cooler water. An exact temperature has not been proven according to haircut specialist Gabie Gaggero, owner of Hair By Gabie G in Cupertino, Ca, explains that warm water opens the hair cuticle and assists in flushing out built-up residue, “The most significant mistake people make when cleansing hair in the shower is using too hot of water. Frequent use of hot or too warm water will cause your hair to grow dry and brittle over time.”

Gabie suggests that before stepping out of the shower, rinse off with a cold plunge to your hair; the cooler, the better. Gabie G explains, “a cold water plunge will seal your hair cuticle, leaving a smooth surface that will reflect light and makes your hair look glossy.” 

Overwashing 

Overwashing your hair will strip it of the natural oils produced by your scalp, forcing your scalp to work double time to overproduce even more oil. Soon, it leaves you with an oily scalp. To break the cycle, you might need to retrain your hair. 

Gabie G personally uses a waterless style extender from the Davines line. It cleanses hair and adds volume without leaving any residue. It absorbs oil and impurities and leaves a soft natural finish. Dry shampooing also helps to prolong the use of your blow-dryer by delaying the time of washing. Reducing any dry-heat time on your hair helps. Using a safe, recommended dry shampoo between hair-washing days is ok. Of course, if you have a sweaty gym sesh, wash it. 

When to wash also depends on your hair thickness and type. Although it’s still a good idea to go a bit longer if you’re able, fine hair can be washed every other day since it usually shows scalp buildup faster. Those with thicker, coarser hair should strive for infrequent washings — every five to seven days if possible. Because curly or highly textured hair leans to dry, it can significantly benefit from the natural oils the scalp cultivates over several days.

Sudsing Up

Scrubbing the scalp improves blood circulation and stimulates the hair follicles, enhancing hair growth. As you lather your shampoo, use your fingertips to give another relaxing massage to your scalp. After cleansing your hair for a good couple of minutes, wash the suds thoroughly to prevent buildup. Gabie G also suggests to later the shampoo with a bit of water in your hands before applying; this will also reduce the buildup that weighs your hair down. 

Conditioning

Conditioner’s intended to leave your hair smooth and soft. It also forms a protective layer on the scalp to prevent further damage. Most think more is best, which is a huge mistake. Gabie G suggests, “If you are not using a chemically-free product live, Davines, you are canceling all your previous efforts and that most OTC conditioner contains harsh chemicals that can weaken the hair follicles, leading to stunted hair growth.” Gabie G goes on to say, “You should also set a limit on the conditioner to the middle of your hair and just the ends and allow it to penetrate a few minutes before rinsing it off.”

Toweling

Ever notice at the salon how after your trip to the shampoo bowl, your stylist tucks the towel up gently around your head and does not twist When shampooing is complete, never rub the towel vigorously on the hair. The friction created by such harsh rubbing weakens the hair roots and makes your hair prone to damage and fall. Instead, use a soft towel or old t-shirt to squeeze the excess water from your hair and let it air dry. 

And with that, your hair-washing routine is complete. It might seem like a lot to you, but it will become a quick habit and a quick avenue to beautiful, healthy hair. 

Unlike urban areas with readily accessible medical facilities, rural regions often lack nearby healthcare options. Some areas rely on a single hospital within a 100+ mile radius, and a cyberattack on such a hospital could leave thousands without healthcare, with potentially deadly outcomes. Today, concern is growing as healthcare organizations and hospitals face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. In addition, if rural hospitals are partnering with pharmaceutical companies in clinical trials or share data with external partners, a cyberattack on one hospital could impact partner and clinical trial systems, while attacks on partner networks can also affect connected hospitals.

The healthcare and pharma sectors heavily depend on technology and interconnected systems to provide critical services. An attack on one hospital can ripple across an entire network, affecting healthcare providers, pharmaceutical research partners, manufacturers and crucially, patients. Safeguarding rural healthcare and pharmaceutical networks and addressing security issues with robust cybersecurity is imperative to ensure the security and confidentiality of patient data, patient health, the integrity of medical processes and the safety of pharmaceutical research and production.

The severity and cost of cybersecurity attacks

Cyberattacks on healthcare are increasing in both number and sophistication and the statistics are alarming. A HIPAA Journal report for 2023, for example, reported 395 incidents exposing or stealing records of almost 60 million individuals through the end of July 2023. That month alone witnessed 18,116,982 records exposed. The cost of cyberattacks is another important concern. IBM’s latest Cost of a Data Breach report  states the average cost of a data breach globally reached an all-time high of $4.45 million in 2023, up 2.3% from 2022 and 15.3% from 2020. The average data breach cost in healthcare has risen in 2023 to reach $10.93 million, the costliest for any industry, while for pharmaceutical organizations, it was $4.82 million.

Such are the severity and potential damage of cyberattacks to healthcare organizations that the risks of insufficient cybersecurity in healthcare can have dire consequences due to the vast amounts of sensitive patient data, including medical records, insurance info and personal identifiers they store, not to mention, the critical services they provide. As facilities become more network connected, they gain a competitive edge, but this comes with a greater attack surface to protect from cybercriminals and simple human error.

The risks of insufficient cybersecurity posture

Insufficient cybersecurity can lead to data breaches, exposing patients’ private information, which can result in medical identity theft and financial fraud. Hackers may manipulate patient data and use their identity to obtain medical services, prescription drugs, or insurance benefits, potentially leading to inaccurate medical records and incorrect treatment. Accessing medical devices or systems can potentially interfere with medical equipment, posing a direct risk to patient safety, especially in emergency situations or during the management of public health crises.

Cyberattacks can use ransomware to paralyze healthcare by encrypting patient records, causing downtime and increased costs, while distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks can disrupt healthcare services, affecting patient care and procedures and risking non-compliance with regulations like HIPAA which can lead to fines and legal action. In addition, data breaches erode patient-doctor confidentiality and trust in healthcare providers, damaging reputations and leading to patient loss and revenue decline.

Subpar cybersecurity can also affect critical healthcare supply vendors and suppliers who provide medical equipment and services, which can compromise the integrity of healthcare systems and impact patient care. Furthermore, healthcare institutions often partner with pharmaceutical companies in research and development, so network attacks on either end can lead to both networks being infected. When pharmaceutical company systems are compromised, it can result in the theft of valuable research data and intellectual property, halting critical drug trials and negatively impacting innovation.

Implementing strong cybersecurity hygiene

Protecting rural healthcare and pharmaceutical networks is an ongoing effort that requires comprehensive cybersecurity that goes beyond traditional IT systems, combining technical solutions, employee education, and a commitment to staying up to date with evolving cyber threats. The following steps are a good place to start implementing strong cybersecurity hygiene practices:

1. Assessment of network assets: Conducting a thorough assessment of the entire network will provide an understanding of current attack surface and asset vulnerabilities, including higher risk, obsolete hardware or software, potential entry points for cyberattacks, existing infrastructure weaknesses, and any regulatory compliance gaps.
2. Risk management plan development: Based on the assessment, a comprehensive risk management plan can be developed outlining specific risks, their potential impact, and strategies for mitigation, prioritizing risks based on severity and likelihood of occurrence. This plan also outlines how to detect, immediately respond to, and quickly recover from cybersecurity incidents and return to active service, with root-cause incident investigation to follow. This plan should be regularly tested and updated.
3. Adopt appropriate security protocols: The next step in maintaining business continuity is to adopt robust network security capabilities, addressing risk across an attack continuum. This typically includes firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and regular network monitoring. It’s important to that all network-connected devices and systems are regularly patched and updated to address known vulnerabilities.
4. Invest in staff training: Train healthcare and pharmaceutical staff on cybersecurity best practices and the importance of adhering to security protocols. Human error is a common cause of security breaches, so education is essential.
5. Deploy proactive monitoring tools: Network visibility is vital, and continuous monitoring tools should be implemented to detect anomalies and potential threats in real-time. This proactive approach can help identify and respond to threats before they cause significant harm. Healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical partners and even government agencies can collaborate to share information about emerging threats and best practices for cybersecurity.
6. Always have a back up plan: Regularly backing up critical data and systems and having a robust disaster recovery plan in place enables operations to be restored quickly in the event of a cyberattack.
7. Have stringent access and verification control: Who has access to data is critical, and with the increasing use of telemedicine and remote work, secure remote access solutions must be in place. Implement virtual private networks (VPNs) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance remote access security. Access to sensitive systems and data should be restricted through strong access controls, with role-based access controls (RBAC) that ensure only authorized personnel can access critical information.
8. Ensure data is encrypted: Data encryption, both in transit and at rest, can help protect patient records, pharmaceutical research data, and proprietary information. This helps to prevent unauthorized access, even if data is intercepted.
9. Conduct regular security audits: Maintaining compliance with industry-specific regulations and standards, such as HIPAA, GDPR, or FDA regulations is critical for pharmaceutical companies. Regularly assessing network cybersecurity and the practices of supply chain partners, third-party vendors and contractors who have network access or provide critical services. Monitor vendor standards and verify that they meet security standards.

Cybersecurity is a boardroom-level issue for healthcare institutions and pharmaceutical partners. The statistics are too serious to ignore. However, implementing protective measures spanning both IT and OT network security design to safeguard highly sensitive data systems and practicing good cyber hygiene can minimize operational disruption, minimize risk, safeguard patient and research data and help protect an organization’s reputation.

Call it a micro fringe, micro bangs or even baby bangs (cute), this trend is edgy, versatile and has a deliciously retro feel.

We know what’s on your mind. Yes, a fringe is something to think about. Your hair will take a while to grow back if you go off it, but it will grow back, and this a really cool option to change up your look more than your average trim will.

Micro fringes are constantly evolving too, so you’re sure to find a style that harmonises with your features and your taste. That’s why our International Creative Director, Andy Heasman, returned to chat with us and shared 9 micro fringe hair ideas to encourage you to join the micro-revolution.

Trust our decades of expertise to help you settle on the best look for you and make it a reality; find your nearest hair salon, and let our stylists work their magic.

1. A two-tone blunt bob with micro bangs

Combine two-tone colour, a blunt bob and feathery micro bangs and you have one expressive look. One of the key appeals of the micro fringe is that it lets your eyebrows and eyes take the limelight. If your peepers are your best feature, you’ll love baby bangs.

2. A micro fringe with a modern bowlcut

Revived as part of the boycut trend, this vintage classic has seen a new lease of life. Our client’s aqua, overcut style creates a gorgeous contrast against tightly cropped sides and the short finish leaves a trendy micro fringe for all to see.

3. Rapunzel lengths with a micro fringe

Long, fairytale locks and a micro fringe make for beautifully dramatic asymmetry that’s feminine and bold. Andy explained, “Your stylist will prep your hair by blowdrying it into a natural fall. This way you are working with your natural hair, rather than against it, when you come to the chop.”

4. The pixie cut with a micro fringe

Going for a pixie cut is a radical decision but this bleached crop is sure to set your mind buzzing! The barely-there choppy micro fringe suits our client to a T. Can we say *chef’s kiss*? Andy said, “Your stylist will help to assess your face shape for suitability, so you can choose the length and choppiness to match your features and hair type.”

5. The red micro bangs pixie cut

A fiery red ‘do will make you stand out from the crowd. If that sounds like something you’re into, why not pair it with a crescent-shaped micro fringe? With her spiky layers, calling this look a statement is, well, an understatement.

6. The geometric bob with a micro fringe

Geometry and the bob are a match made in heaven and combining them with an ultra-straight short fringe gives this look a cool ‘60s vibe.

7. A pink overcut mullet with a micro fringe

Sweet candy pink or even luscious peach locks are a great option if you want a bold colour that’s less intense than red. This pink, overcut mullet works beautifully with a micro fringe. As Andy explained to us, “Your hairstylist will always check your hairline for natural movement, like if your hair has got a cowlick, to get the most out of this style.”

8. Shaggy wolf cut with a micro fringe

This feathered boy cut with contrasting, face-framing layers draws extra attention to a glorious rough-chopped micro fringe. Ideal if you want to highlight your brows and cheekbones, and even better if the crimped hair revival piques your interest.

9. Sidesweeping micro bangs

Andy already explained how following your hair’s natural movement is one of the secrets to nailing the micro fringe. So, a lifted side sweep allows your micro fringe to follow the direction of your locks, giving a cute, boyish but sleek look.

Opting for the chop can be daunting, but we’re sure you’ll love these micro fringes as much as we do. If you’re wanting to relive the short styles of the ‘90s, see how the bixie cut holds the answer.

Easily one of the most frustrating experiences when buying lip makeup is finding that lipstick has dried out or gone bad prematurely. Throwing away those perfect lipstick shades after wearing them just a few times feels like such a waste of money and means you need to buy a replacement. Long-lasting lipstick shouldn’t just refer to lipstick that stays on all day and night—long-lasting lipstick should also mean lipstick that won’t dry out or go bad, but believe it or not, it’s not always a formula issue. 

At Bésame, we’ve been perfecting our lipstick formula for years, and have picked up some excellent advice for making lipstick last along the way. Here, we’re sharing five simple storage tips to help keep your lipstick fresh for longer. 

1. Store Lipstick Tubes Right Side Up

Even though tube lipstick is a solid formula, it’s still not a good idea to store it upside down. Some people like to store their lipstick tubes upside down to be able to see the shade name, but this can eventually damage the lipstick and create a mess in the cap of the tube. 

Instead, it’s best to store lipstick tubes right side up. 

2. Keep a Lipstick Organizer on Your Vanity

Using a simple lipstick holder can keep your lipsticks right side up, and make them readily accessible on your vanity! Our lipstick holder is vintage-inspired, a gorgeous crimson like our popular deep red lipstick shades, and embossed with a gold Bésame logo. Glamorous, minimalistic, and so practical, each 1960s-style lipstick display holds five tubes. 

3. Don’t Leave Lipstick in Your Purse

It’s fine to carry a tube of lipstick in your purse when you go out, but it’s not a good idea to keep lipstick in your purse long term. Leaving lipstick in your purse puts it at risk of losing its cap, getting smashed, collecting germs and crumbs, and of course, ruining the inside of your purse.

We also put our purses in a lot of strange spots, some of which are extra warm (e.g. on top of a radiator) or extra cold. Temperature changes can affect the integrity of your lipstick, and help to shorten its usable lifespan, so it’s better to return the tube to your vanity after going out. 

4. Don’t Leave Lipstick in The Car

Will lipstick melt in the car? Yes, absolutely. Especially if the weather is hot, or the heat in your car is on high. While it might be tempting to leave a travel lipstick in your car for on-the-go touch ups, the inconsistent temperatures in a car aren’t good for your lipstick. Leaving lipstick in your car can also be messy since you’re risking melted lipstick getting all over your interior. 

But, what if it’s cold in the car? Can lipstick freeze? Yes, lipstick can freeze, and while it might not damage the lipstick, low temperatures can change the profile of the formula and the experience of applying the lipstick. 

5. Use a Lip Brush To Pick Up Pigment

To protect your lipstick from accumulating germs, try applying your lipstick with a lip brush. To avoid transferring any germs to your lipstick tube, collect the amount of lipstick you need using the lip brush, then apply it to your lips. If you need more, clean the brush before returning to the lipstick tube. 

If you’re concerned about spreading skin conditions like cold sores, this technique is especially useful and can help to make your lipstick last longer. 

Lipstick Storage FAQ

Feeling like you have more questions than answers? Here are more of our answers to some of the most common questions about making lipstick last. 

Can lipstick expire?

Yes! All makeup products expire, and lipstick is no different. Lipstick expiration dates are typically found on the product packaging or the products themselves. Typically, lipstick has an expiration date of 1–2 years after opening, depending on how well it is taken care of. 

How long does a tube of lipstick last on average?

The average tube of lipstick contains about 300 swipes of product, but many people don’t end up using the full tube before it goes bad. 

Can lipstick cause cold sores? 

Yes, if a tube of lipstick has been used by someone with an active cold sore, it can pick up and transmit the virus responsible for cold sores. 

How long does lipstick last on lips?

The ingredients used by different lipstick brands vary greatly, which means that the longevity of lipstick formulas also varies greatly. How long lipstick will last on your lips also depends on how you apply it, what you do while you wear it, and whether you use a lip liner. In general, tube lipsticks last around 3-6 hours on the lips.

Launches 5th December 2023

As soon as I heard about this new launch from Australian sun protection brand, Ultra Violette, I knew I had to try it! This is all about a glow up for SPF and I am here for it! Here’s the lowdown on the brand new Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops.

What are Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops?

This new launch from Ultra Violette is here to change up the fact that makeup and SPF don’t mix well.

Until now, mixing your makeup with your SPF has been proven to have a detrimental effect on the levels of sun protection you will receive from your SPF products.

The good news is, this new hybrid product has been specifically formulated to be mixed with, or layered over SPF products without compromising sun protection.

It is available in two shades – Illuminating and Bronzing.

Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops Swatches

There are two options in this new Glow Drops formula – Illuminating and Bronzing.

Here is Glow Drops Illuminating:

It has a lovely light texture that glides over the skin easily. As you can see, there is some fine glitter in there that gives it the glow. You can see the glitter left over in the bronzer swatch pictures below. It is a pretty finish but if shimmer is not your thing, you may prefer the Bronzing version.

Here is Glow Drops Bronzing:

Again this is a lovely light texture that blends easily. I can see myself using a light layer all over the face under foundation for a bit of under glow and warmth.

My Review

I knew I was going to love these new drops. I love a glow, but I never want to compromise sun protection, so these are the perfect solution for me. Both formulas have their own SPF 50 sun protection, so you are never diluting the levels of protection. Also it has been tested with the Skin Screen SPFs and it proven not to split the formula and result in patchy protection.

I am a big fan of the original Queen Screen formula that was in the original line up when the brand first launched here in the UK. The Glow Drops have a similar light texture but perhaps with a very slightly more matte finish, which makes them perfect for layering.

Both formulas dry down nice and quickly, which means they work really well underneath your chosen daily SPF and makeup, and won’t make your base too emollient or slippery.

The texture is of course great for mixing into SPF, and it doesn’t affect the finish on the skin, which is ideal. And of course, you can use these simply as a makeup product, to bronze and highlight, with that added SPF50 as a bonus.

I am excited to play with these more. As I said in the swatch section, the Illuminating formula has a tiny micro glitter in it, and if that’s not your thing, then you may not love it. I think it’s a very pretty finish.
