2. Celebrating pride with COS x Coco Capitán
COS’s latest limited-edition t-shirt capsule collection, designed by notable artist Coco Capitán, is in-store now. All proceeds from the t-shirts will be donated to local pride organisation OutLine, a mental health organisation providing support to the rainbow community.
The collaboration includes three designs featuring unique slogans in Coco’s signature handwriting. Each of the designs shares messages of love, freedom, and inclusivity embroidered onto an organic heavy-weight cotton tee.
3. Ethique unveils new curly hair range
Developed with the “curly girl method” in mind, sustainable beauty pioneer Ethique has released two concentrated bars scientifically formulated for wavy, curly and coily hair. The ‘Curliosity’ solid conditioner and co-wash has a super creamy lather and a light finish, and the ‘Professor Curl’ solid shampoo is the equivalent of nine bottles of conditioner in one bar, used as a conditioner, co-wash, or leave-in treatment for deep conditioning.
Both bars cater to any personal preference of washing and drying techniques unique to every head of wavy, curly or coily hair – including plopping, pineappling, scrunching, diffusing and air-drying.
