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.What a washout this summer has been. While I'm optimistic (or perhaps deluded depending on your world view) that September will be filled with beautiful blue skies, it doesn't hurt to consider wet weatherproofing. Don't worry I'm not going to start banging on about the long-term benefits of an annual application of wood preserver; your hair on the other hand, there I can help.
One of the worst things about constant drizzle (apart from sounding like Richard Madeley doing a lame impersonation of a rapper when talking about it) is the effect it can have on hair. Whether yours is curly, straight or somewhere in between, even a quick dash out in the rain can cause a halo of frizz, and a brolly is no use when you're practically walking through a cloud of condensation. The best way to prevent a fuzzy finish is by ensuring your hair is nourished when you wash it and then sealing the shaft with serums or crèmes in order to prevent humidity in the air messing it all up. µ
