COCKTAILS, CHEMISTS & CHAOS: The moisturised robot that ruled the night

By Zee: If there is one thing Johannesburg’s beauty people love more than a serum with three active ingredients nobody can pronounce, it is a launch event with soft lighting, free alcohol and the possibility of spotting a celebrity pretending they are not exhausted.

The initiative, backed by the Dermatology Society of South Africa (DSSA) and supported b...

From perfectly defined twist-outs to slick braided ponies, Black hair is no longer being hidden, tamed, or silenced. Instead, curls, coils, and kinks are commanding the spotlight with a power that feels downright revolutionary. It’s a trend that goes far beyond aesthetics. Gen Z is rewriting the language of hair altogether, refusing to compromise on health, identity, or versatility. Their hair must do it all: bend, twist, protect, shine, and still bounce back with its integrity intact. Chemical relaxers? Yesterday’s news. Harsh sulfates? Cancelled. This generation is obsessed with transparency, multi-tasking formulas, and styling freedom that h...
