This Colour Wow tonic is a leave-in treatment that restores colour-treated hair by moisturising and protecting it.

This treatment helps replenish silkiness and manageability by delivering a blend of fatty acids and emollients that bind with your hair, creating a ‘lubricating film’ that mimics the moisturising, natural outer layer of hair that is often stripped away during colour processing.

Infused with Coconut Oil, the formula penetrates deep down to hydrate within the cortex for improved strength and flexibility, while instantly transforming dehydrated, straw-like hair into fluid, silky, supple strands.

This Colour Wow treatment is set to make a “major difference” with just one blow dry. It acts as a heat protector as it revives dry, dehydrated, and damaged curls.

Over at Lookfantastic, shoppers can’t stop raving about this hair treatment as it’s amassed hundreds of 5-star reviews. One thrilled buyer beams: “I definitely notice the effects of Color Wow Dream Cocktail Coconut after blow drying. My hair feels smoother, my flyaways are tamed, and there’s noticeably less frizz. It makes a real difference to the finish of my hair. Love this product!”

Another happy customer raves: “Has made a huge difference to my hair, don’t need to use much as it goes a long way, wouldn’t be without it now.”

Today’s horoscope for June 12 as Taurus faces commute issues

Today’s horoscope for Thursday, June 12 sees one star sign deal with a bad day, as another has some sweet cravings

Find out what’s written in the stars with our astrologer Russell Grant(Image: Daily Record/GettyImages)

It’s Thursday, June 12, and one star sign needs time to reflect, while another refuses to be rushed.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

A misunderstanding is causing tension within the home. You wish it hadn’t happened but you can’t erase what has already occurred. An older relative will offer to help in uniting the family and making it feel whole again. Spend some time with your closest friends this evening.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Prepare for problems during your daily commute. If you’re working from home, technical issues will cause delays. A disagreement with a friend or colleague will add to your frustration. Remain calm and keep telling yourself that the situation will improve.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

It won’t take long for you to decide that today is not the most favourable day for you in terms of communication. Your boss will express some disappointment regarding how you utilise your free time. If you find yourself in disagreement with a supervisor, it will be because they think they are always right.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

It’s difficult to ignore sweet cravings. Opt for fruit as a healthy alternative. Keep reminding yourself that adding a little exercise into your daily schedule is essential and it will make you feel good too. Also, a positive mindset can benefit your overall health.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

You need to make a choice about how to use an unexpected gain or financial windfall. Should you settle your debts or treat yourself to something you have longed for, for ages? Ask for the advice of a practical friend. You might be surprised when they tell you to prioritise your own happiness for a change.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Take some time to reflect on your life, thoughts and feelings. This will help you identify sources of stress and tension. Ignoring these, once you have worked out the problem, could impact your health. Your aim should now be to avoid stressful situations.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

A relationship that is up and down is getting you down. Unless you take decisive action to break out of this cycle, things will never change. You have reached your emotional limit, you can no longer endure the uncertainty and you’re ready to step away.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Even though you would like to have a difficult matter settled and over with, don’t let anyone pressure you into agreeing to their suggestions too quickly. If someone is in a rush, their proposal will benefit them more than it will, you.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

You will be in your element when travelling and dealing with people from a distance. Language is not a barrier when you find some fun and workable ways to communicate with each other. You and a work colleague are on the same wavelength and a joint venture will have a happy ending.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Mixing in new social circles will challenge your thinking. New experiences could lead you to places you have never been to before. A senior colleague who values your practical skills will make you an offer you will not want to refuse.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

It’s never easy when you are asked to take over another person’s responsibilities and yet this seems to be the situation you are in right now. It will be important for you to demonstrate a high level of discipline in order to accomplish a task that someone else has abandoned.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

You intuitively sense some situations are changing but you aren’t sure yet whether this is for the good. Around midday you might sense something isn’t quite right. If you mention this to another sensitive soul, they will confirm that they too have the same feeling.

Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston opens up on devastating impact of fame on his marriage

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston said he is still battling with challenges fame has put on his personal life – including his own marriage.

Bryan, 69, has to “find ways” to deal with being a celebrity, despite bursting onto the acting scene more than four decades ago. The actor, who played central character Walter White in each of the five series of Breaking Bad, said fame “offsets your personal relationship” in a candid speech at at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

He told the audience: “There’s the factor of this weird thing called celebrity and fame and what that does, and it offsets your personal relationship. I’ve been married for 36 years and we’ve seen it like, ‘Oh wow, what’s happening?’

“The luck and good fortune I’ve had creates that ascension of opportunity. But, then you are working just as hard. It’s a better way to work than not having a job offer, but the offers are flooding, and you have to then sort and put people off and figure out and go, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. How do I deal with this?'”

Bryan married actress Robin Dearden, 71, in 1989 and they share 32-year-old daughter Taylor Dearden, also a performer. Bryan told the audience how he has had to protect his family over the years as publicity surged around Breaking Bad.

Photographers have, Bryan said, pushed Robin aside in order to get solo images of him. She has taken a step back from acting in recent years, with her last major film credit for the 2017 comedy Chicanery.

“It’s an interesting dynamic and I find ways to deal with it, and I think that’s like anything else. You go, “Okay, by and large, that came with being lucky in my profession,'” Bryan continued.

Undeterred, Bryan remains very active in the industry, unlike his spouse. He has just premiered his new film, Everything’s Going to Be Great, at the Tribeca Film Festival, and released his new film The Phoenician Scheme. He also stars in Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series, The Studio.

In addition, he has eight other projects in the works, including the much-anticipated Malcolm in the Middle reboot coming later this year, which he teased is “just as crazy” and “just as much fun” as the original that first aired 25 years ago.

Bryan and Robin met on the set of TV show Airwolf, which aired from 1984 to 1987. In an early episode, Bryan was playing the villain of the week and Robin played a hostage he held at gunpoint. Their daughter, Taylor, recently made her acting debut in the drama series, The Pitt.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal in first major job since having baby Palma

Just three months after giving birth to her first child with husband Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan has landed a huge deal worth six-figures, it has been reported

Michelle is back in businesswoman mode already

Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal just three months after becoming a new mum.

The former Coronation Street star has been embracing life as a first-time mum since welcoming baby Palma Elizabeth Wright into the world on March 6. Michelle and Mark Wright have been enjoying their time as new parents over the last three months.

Fans have been given a glimpse into their first holiday abroad as a family of three last month as Michelle and Mark, both 38, headed to Spain with two-month-old Palma. Michelle revealed to her followers that Palma has been given the nickname Princess P, whilst confirming that it was their first holiday. She wrote in the caption of her post: “Princess P’s first family holiday.”

But it seems it is back to business for Michelle who has just signed a deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba.

She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source told The Sun: “Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she’ll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their ‘face’.

“Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she’s fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.”

Michelle Keegan is now a household name after appearing in some of Britain’s favourite TV shows including Our Girl and Coronation Street. However, the star went from working at a make-up counter when she finished school to a successful actress with what seems like a dream life.

The Stockport star didn’t have plans when she first left school and found herself working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent.

But she seems to have found her feet when it comes to success in the wolrd of TV as she secured first acting appearance on Coronation Street when she was offered the role of Tina McIntyre after just her second audition as an actress. The talented actress beat 900 other people to the role on the soap and just two weeks later she stepped onto the cobbles and began her career.

TV star Michelle Keegan may be earning mega money now but she will have to put in the overtime if she want to catch up with her husband Mark Wright. It was reported two years ago that Mark is now worth almost £14million as he continues to grow his incredible property empire. With an estimated combined net worth of around £20m, it’s no wonder the pair splashed the cash on their dream home three years ago.

Beloved TV personality Ananda Lewis has tragically died after battling breast cancer.

Ananda, best known from being a popular host on MTV during the network’s “veejay” era in the late 1990s, sadly passed away yesterday, Wednesday June 11. In October 2020, Ananda announced to fans that she’d been privately battling stage 3 breast cancer for two years and that she’d avoided getting regular mammograms due to her fear of radiation exposure.

Ananda shared during an interview in 2024 that her breast cancer had reached Stage 4 after previously declining to undergo a mastectomy for treatment.

Ananda’s sister Lakshmi has now confirmed the sad news of her sister’s passing on Facebook in an emotional message. She wrote of Ananda, “She’s free and in His heavenly arms [heart emojis]. Lord, rest her soul [prayer hands emoji].”

Lakshmi confirmed that her sister died at her home in Los Angeles at 11:35am and that she was in hospice care at the time of her death. Lakshimi also revealed that Ananda’s 14-year-old son was graduating middle school the same day as the small screen star’s passing, making today very bittersweet, TMZ reported.

She shares the teen boy, her only child, with husband Harry Smith, 54, who is the younger brother of Oscar-winning actor Will Smith, 56.

Many are mourning Ananda’s untimely death on social media, especially on X, formerly Twitter.

One wrote on the platform X: “Omg Rip to the beautiful #AnandaLewis her sister confirmed,the news. If you’re a 90s/early 2000s baby, then you definitely wanted to be her, at some point! The real “It girl”! She just had it!Phuck cancer! Sending love to every person that loved her. Get your rest beauty.”

Another wrote on X: “Ananda Lewis was so iconic. Sleep peacefully angel,” a third penned: “Ananda Lewis was one of the quintessential 90’s baddies RIP.”

As a fixture on MTV in the late 1990s, Ananda hosted hit shows like Total Request Live, Hot Zone and Spring Break. But she left her MTV role in 2001 and began hosting her very own daytime TV talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, which ran for two seasons.

She earned two NAACP Image Awards during her career and was once deemed the ‘the hip-hop generation’s reigning It Girl’ by The New York Times.
