Hair trends at London Fashion Week: Bringing back the center part

Center parts were one of the key hair trends at London, with designers opting overwhelmingly for the middle ground.

Here are three ways to wear the look, straight off the catwalks.

Sleek and straight
Julien Macdonald, Roksanda and Jasper Conran were just three of the fashion greats to declare loose, poker-straight tresses the go-to hair trend of Spring 2018. The Julien Macdonald show offered up a masterclass in sleek, shiny blow dries with just the right amount of volume, while the models at Roksanda wore their styles flatter and tucked behind the ears. Things were a little more tousled and laid-back at Jasper Conran.

Pinned back
A center parting is an easy way to elevate simple updos, as both Emilia Wickstead and Burberry proved with their on-trend low ponytails. While the models at Emilia Wickstead sported slightly tousled styles, the Burberry look, with its faintly crooked parting and loose baby hairs, gave the overall effect a back-to-school edge.

Textured
Christopher Kane and Paula Knorr added texture to the look, by keeping things damp and frizzy. Kane’s models had their hair pulled tightly back into a ponytail, while some of the models at Paula Knorr sported slicked-down roots with drier ends. JB

Cancer researchers accidentally discover cure for baldness, gray hair

A group of scientists from the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, were set on discovering how cancer tumors form.

But in the process of doing so, the team found a genetic cure for baldness and hair graying.

According to a report from The Sun, the breakthrough was made possible after multiple cellular experiments with lab mice.

After certain cells were removed, the mice became bald, while deleting a gene in the cells turned its hair white.

“Although this project was started in an effort to understand how certain kinds of tumors form, we ended up learning why hair turns gray and discovering the identity of the cell that directly gives rise to hair,” said Dr. Lu Le, associate professor of dermatology at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

“With this knowledge, we hope in the future to create a topical compound or to safely deliver the necessary gene to hair follicles to correct these cosmetic problems,” he added.

Furthermore, the study revealed that the protein called KROX20—a vital key in nerve development—was primarily responsible for turning skin cells into hair follicles.

The group’s findings were recently published in the Genes and Development journal.  Khristian Ibarrola /ra
