This Is the Newest Go-To Way to Have Clean, Beautiful Hair

It has been used for eons as a purifying agent. But now this detoxifying ingredient is having a pop-culture beauty moment. It’s in everything from masks to toothpaste—and now it’s being used in shampoos and conditioners. But activated charcoal has nothing to do with the blackened residue on your barbeque grill! It is created when wood or bamboo is burned at a high temper­ature without oxygen, resulting in extremely porous or “activated” char that absorbs many of the molecules it comes into contact with. It’s a natural dirt magnet.

Pantene Pro-V Charcoal shampoo contains black charcoal sourced from renewable bamboo, while Pantene Pro-V Charcoal conditioner contains white charcoal from the Binchotan oak tree. The charcoal in these products collects oil and dirt, leaving the hair feeling renewed and refreshed. The added bonus? Both of them deposit pro-vitamin B5 and antioxidants in the hair. Plus, they are free of parabens, dyes and silicones and can be used on all hair types. #purehairbliss

Here are some of the top ways to incorporate activated charcoal into your beauty routine:

Mask Magic

The super-absorbent properties of activated charcoal make it perfect for unclogging pores. Mix one capsule of activated charcoal with two teaspoons of aloe vera gel and smooth over your face. Let dry and rinse off completely. Your skin will feel soft and smooth.

Pearly whites

It seems counterintuitive, but gently brushing your teeth with black activated charcoal powder mixed with water is a natural whitener as it absorbs plaque and lifts stains from your teeth. Try it once every other week. You can also mix it with your toothpaste—it’s odourless, tasteless and non-toxic.

Body scrubs

Charcoal body scrubs are great exfoliators and natural cleansers. They draw bacteria and micro-particles to the skin’s surface. Regular use leads to flawless-looking, smooth skin.

Wash & Glow

Did you know: If you go several days between washes, your hair becomes weighed down due to products like dry shampoo? The result? It changes the way your hair behaves and moves. Say bye-bye to drab, oily hair and wash your locks with products like the new Pantene Pro-V Charcoal collection. The shampoo and conditioner both contain detoxifying activated charcoal that absorbs dirt and oil. Your hair will feel soft, clean and revitalized.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
