    Facebook introduces ‘care’ emoji to express support amid COVID-19 crisis

    The new ‘care emoji’ is intended to show care and solidarity when commenting on a status update, message, photo or video during the pandemic. The emoji is a smiley face, hugging a heart for the basic Facebook service, while in Messenger app it appears as a pulsating, purplish heart.

    “Even apart, we are in this together,” read Facebook’s official message.

    To insert a reaction, users hold down the Like button on mobile apps or hover over the Like button on the desktop version of the site to see the reaction-emoji options.

    Facebook is also working to connect people to provide accurate information from health experts and keeping misinformation away about the COVID-19 from spreading on their related apps.

    “We’ve now directed over 2 billion people to resources from the WHO and other health authorities through our COVID-19 Information Center and pop-ups on Facebook and Instagram with over 350 million people clicking through to learn more,” read the company’s website.

    Facebook is also planning to share some additional steps to fight COVID-19 related misinformation and make sure people have the correct and credible information they need to stay safe.

  • Summer care for your hair

    Summer care for your hair

    The hot and humid weather doesn’t only play havoc with our mood but also sends our hair out of control. Which means that we need to be extra careful with them in this weather. The weekend calls for some self-pampering, so here are a few ways to avoid frizzy hair.

    Get a trim

    Trim your hair in summer. Along with getting rid of the split ends, you’ll also get a new hairstyle which is more summer-friendly. Plus you don’t have to worry about your hair not growing back because hair grows faster in the summer due to better blood circulation.

    Avoid fun in the sun

    The sun’s UV rays make your hair dry and can harm the outer layer of your hair. You would hate us for this but spending too much time in the pool can damage your hair. Dust and sweat can cause split ends and dandruff. You can wear a light scarf to shield your head from sun rays and dust when you are out in the sun.

    Tackle the frizz

    Use a leave-in conditioner to handle the frizz and if a conditioner doesn’t help, try to apply a hair mask twice a week to restore their luster.

    Avoid hot styling tools

    Straighteners and curlers may give to the perfect glam look but they can also ruin your hair. Heat destroys the protein layer of the hair. Allow your hair to dry them naturally.

    But let’s just face the fact that when the air is so hot and humid, your hair are going to get frizzy. Don’t waste your time trying to fight frizz. Instead, find an easy go-to hairdo like a high ponytail, a messy bun or a side braid for the days high in humidity.
