From the Experts: Straight Irons Galore

1) Straight Irons Galore

Here are some tips on how to straighten hair at home with a straight iron!

• Buy a flat iron for your hair length and make sure it is of the ceramic kind – it will burn your hands otherwise. I love Chi Ultra Chi 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Ironwhich smooths my hair and the plates are designed to increase shine as well. A winner!
• Get yourself a souped-up blow-dryer. This will help you reduce frizz by compressing the cuticle. My favourite is Conair Comfort Touch Tourmaline Ceramic Styling Blow Dryer.
• Use a nourishing conditioner that will leave your hair incredibly soft. I suggest Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner. Make sure your leave it on for at least two minutes.
• Always use a heat protector spray before blow-drying or styling with a flatiron or curling iron that will further shield your strands from the brunt of the heat–Sunsilk Keratinology sprayis easily available in the market.
• Apply a dime-size amount of Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer all over your head before flat ironing!
• Start from the back and section your hair, the more sections you make, the easier you will find it to straighten.
• Do not overheat the plates, pick the temperature wisely.
• Once done, use a serum to keep the frizz away.

2) Six tips that will change the way you sleep

1. Wind down

Make time for yourself in the evening. Start by taking a few minutes to jot down any outstanding things on your to-do list. Writing down thoughts will help prevent them from keeping you up all night. Then read a book or take a relaxing bath. Allowing your mind and body to be at ease helps to prepare you for sleep.

2. Switch off

Turn off all electronic devices 60-90 minutes before bed. The blue light emitted from electronic devices actually tricks the brain into thinking it's daylight and disrupts sleep cycles. Don't keep items like a television or your tablet in your bedroom as this will tempt you into using them.

3. Cut the caffeine

Research shows that a cup of coffee up to six hours before bedtime can reduce sleep by more than an hour. Enjoy your morning coffee but refrain from drinking it in the late afternoon and evenings to ensure restful slumber. The same advice goes for any caffeinated sodas or energy drinks. Instead, drink an herbal tea, like chamomile. Not only does it have a pleasant taste, its soothing and relaxing properties will help you sleep.

4. Keep meals light

A protein-heavy meal can cause digestive issues and impact your sleep. Opt for lighter means with more complex carbs. The theory is that the insulin release will cause more sleep-inducing tryptophan in the brain. And if you haven't been having your best sleep lately, check out our article which has solutions to your most common problems.

Introduction

The Fujifilm GFX 50R is a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera with a 51.4 megapixel, 43.8mm x 32.9mm medium-format CMOS sensor.

The GFX 50R is smaller, lighter and cheaper than the original GFX 50S camera that was introduced back in 2016 - it's 25mm thinner, 145g lighter, and costs £1K/$1K less than the 50S. It actually most closely resembles the X-E3 APS-C camera in its revised control layout, which we'll discuss in more detail in the Ease of Use section below.

The GFX 50R and 50S share exactly the same image sensor, X-Processor Pro image processor, battery, film simulation modes and electronic viewfinder. The GFX 50R differs from its larger sibling in three main ways - it has a tilting, rather than three-way, LCD screen, a lower magnification viewfinder (0.77x versus 0.85x), and includes Bluetooth connectivity for the first time on a GFX camera….

Ease of Use

Whereas the GFX 50S had a DSLR, X-T series like design, the new GFX 50R sports a rangefinder style that's strongly reminiscent of both classic film cameras from the past, such as the GA645 and GF670, and of the company's most recent rangefinder-esque mirrorless camera, the X-E3.

Subsequently, one of the main reasons for choosing the GFX 50R instead of the 50S is the position of its electronic viewfinder, now located to the far left of the body when looking from the rear, rather than in the middle. This is to allow you to switch between looking through the viewfinder with your right eye and watching your subject with your left eye, thereby making it easier to anticipate where the subject will enter the frame, which is perfect for street photography.

If you're trying to decide between these two specific Fujifilm medium-format cameras, you really owe it to yourself to try out both side-by-side, as the viewing method is so different. We can't tell you which one is better than the other, as it really comes down to personal preference, just as some Fuji users prefer the rangefinder-esque X-Pro/X-E cameras and some the DLSR-like X-T range…
