We’re used to seeing Tiffany Haddish change up her hair, going from a sleek bob to a flirty ponytail. This new look is a bit different but just as gorgeous. Haddish shaved her head on Instagram in an almost-27 minute video. She took scissors and went right for her faux-locs. Her friend and hairstylist Precious is in the background having a bit of anxiety but Haddish has no concerns. “They’re acting like this shit isn’t going to grow back,” she says. She notes that she’s been talking about shaving her head for years but everyone has been “blocking it.” Not anymore.

Hairstylist Lacy Redway commented on her support for Haddish, saying “You finally did it!…Hair doesn’t define us and you know we got the wigs on deck if we choose to.” As an actress, that’s of course something Haddish is thinking about as she tells Precious she’s wearing a wig in an upcoming move. So, don’t worry! Once the locs are out, she says: “I look beautiful. I am beautiful.”

Haddish comes back online to make another video to respond to critics whose comments she saw or she knows she’s about to see. “Why, when a woman decides, ‘Hey I’m going to cut this hair off because I want to see my scalp,” she got to have a mental problem. Nothing is wrong with my brain,” she says. “I’ve literally been talking about this for years. I want to see my scalp. I know every part of my body, where every single mole is.”

Precious helped Haddish clean up her hair with clippers, cutting it close to the scalp. The actress would look good with literally any hairstyle but there’s something especially gorgeous about a shaved head on her. “Just imagine how much time I’m going to save!” she says.

Harry Potter fans have been going through it as of late. Author J. K. Rowling’s transphobic comments are both heartbreaking and maddening. While some are understandably taking a break from Potterworld, others are separating the art from the creator and not letting her ruin something so magical. The latter group is scooping up Ulta’s Harry Potter makeup collection, which is selling out like crazy. And for good reason.

The line includes eyeshadow palettes with shades inspired by each Hogwarts House colors, as well as makeup brushes (or, wands), cosmetic bags, lip crayons, lip gloss, lip balm and hair accessories. It’s a fun way to show your House pride while just using really good makeup. And if you take a look at Ulta’s Instagram account, you’ll notice there are even more products coming from the line, including press-on nails (!) and bath items.

The standouts here are the eyeshadow palettes and the brushes since these are things you’ll use regardless of your love for the Wizarding World. Shop them below and more when the Harry Potter collection hits Ulta stores on July 26. (Don’t forget your face mask!)

As I move through my 60s – somewhat bemused by my imminent ageing – I notice that my sleep patterns are changing.

Are Your Sleep Patterns Changing with Age?

Gone are the days when I needed an alarm clock to wake me up for work at 7 am and then struggled not to fall back into a deep sleep. Or those far away times when I could surface on a weekend, glance at the clock and just turn over and doze for hours.

Then came the years of raising babies and children when uninterrupted sleep became something I craved for. Many years on and I find my nights are disturbed not by crying offspring. Instead, they are punctuated by trips to the bathroom or needing a drink of water (probably not helping the bathroom jaunts).

Or I could need painkillers for something or other, or just to lie there for hours worrying about ridiculous things that will probably never happen.

Most nights I see every hour come and go, and I yearn to sleep soundly until at least 6 am. I have no problem falling asleep – it is all the waking up that is wearing me out.

To get up and make tea, wander the house, disturb the dogs (and husband), read my Kindle or listen to music, or to just try and lie still and fall back to sleep – that is the quandary I, and so many of us, face in the dark hours.

Speaking to friends, I find I am not alone, and I am considering setting up a Facebook Page called ‘The 4am Club.’ Maybe there already is one?

All of us wide awake 60-somethings could connect and swap stories and maybe help each other to fall back to sleep. If I wasn’t so tired I would get onto it straight away.

How Do You Cope with Sleepless Nights?

On the back of all this nocturnal activity is the desperate need to nap in the afternoon. Given any sort of opportunity, I will fall asleep – if I am in a chair, maybe I will snatch just 5 or 10 minutes, but if I indulge myself and lie on my bed, I can wave goodbye to a good half an hour.

Not a problem if I am home, but when I venture out to an afternoon meeting or activity then falling asleep during a talk or performance is embarrassing. Car, bus and train journeys are an open invitation to shut my eyes for a while, unless of course I am the driver, in which case an open window does the trick and keeps me awake.

Despite a riveting talk at my local WI recently, I fought against my eyelids drooping and began to realise why sleep deprivation, as a form of torture, is so successful. It’s almost painful trying to stay awake.

Do You Struggle with Mid-Afternoon Slumps in Energy?

For me sleeping pills are not an option as I am terrified of addiction. Herbal varieties don’t do anything for me. I have tried acupuncture, I regularly practice yoga and I exercise every day so I guess I need to just go with it.

I did read an interesting article recently that explained how our sleep patterns have changed over the years – apparently, many moons ago, it was accepted to wake up during the night after a first ‘deep sleep.’

Then you would have a period of wakefulness when people got up and busied themselves with household chores before going back to bed for a few more hours of shut eye.

This was known as ‘segmented sleep,’ and there are many articles on the web that you can read to find out more. The BBC explains it in “The Myth of the Eight-Hour Sleep.”

I don’t think going back in time would work for me, and I am sure my husband wouldn’t appreciate me hoovering at 2 am. So, I shall have to accept the changes and be thankful that I have the time for the odd cat nap.
