First and foremost with your hair's condition in mind before your Christmas colour and the added damaging and aggressive cold, start with some TLC for your hair. Use a conditioning masque or treatment ritual once a week to add protein and moisture to the hair and strengthen the hair structure and even out the porosity of the hair. This will prepare your hair for even the most vigorous of...

Exeter Comedy Club seems to be proof that we all enjoy a good laugh in difficult times. The club which is hosted at the city’s Corn Exchange continues to sell-out show after show and the Christmas specials are heading the same way.
Instead of just one performance on one night the venue is staging four comedy clubs on the run up to Christmas; on Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th December. Already the Thursday and Friday performances have completely sold out and very few tickets remain for the Wednesday evening show.
Mark Farley who is one of the club’s organisers said: “We...

The Military Wives Choir wowed shoppers when they performed in Princesshay to celebrate the launch of their second album, Stronger Together.
Twenty-eight of the wives spent the day being pampered by Princesshay retailers before the album signing and performance, on Monday (November 5).
Some wives had their hair cut and styled at SAKS hair salon, others had hand pampering at Molton Brown and others had relaxation treatments at The Cove. And then there were the makeovers at various beauty counters in Debenhams for some of the wives to enjoy.
