The Best Hair Loss Shampoos For Men

In most cases, it’s androgenic alopecia, which basically means genetic hair loss, and in many cases, it stems from having an unhealthy scalp. “Scalp health is very important to hair health. Oftentimes patients with hair loss have low-grade scalp inflammation that may exacerbate their hair loss. This can be caused by seborrhea, psoriasis, or eczema,” says Dr. Gary Goldenberg of Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City. “Seborrhea and psoriasis are the most common forms of scalp irritation....

The Best Horror Movie On Disney Is The 1959 Sleeping Beauty

But now, it feels like a movie about the unnecessary sexualization of teenagers. If you’d asked me last week if I’d let my 2.5-year-old daughter watch Sleeping Beauty when she was, I dunno, 5 years old, I would have said yes, 100 percent. But now? I’m not sure I can let her see this thing until she’s 16. In almost all ways, Sleeping Beauty is a horror movie. Look, here’s the girl who gets left alone for two seconds, and then BAM, a demon appears in her fireplace, and the next thing you know everyone is racing through the dark yelling her name....

The Best Indoor Gardens For Small Spaces And Black Thumbs

The idiot-proof self-watering indoor garden makes this process even easier, especially for parents who don’t have the time, space, or the green thumb, to do, say, raised beds. These planters take the guesswork out of gardening, distributing just the right amount of water for optimal growth. Some even come with their own lighting systems, so you don’t have to parse what really constitutes partial or indirect light. Just add seeds, fill up a water reservoir, plug it in, and watch your plants thrive....

The Best Kids Binoculars For Young Explorers

Our friends at REI have a few solid suggestions for picking out binoculars. You want a full-sized pair for birding or otherwise watching wildlife. A mid-sized pair is great for all-around sporting use. And a compact set, while being the lightest, are also the least comfortable because of their size (or lack thereof). In terms of magnification, binoculars have two numbers showing magnification power and lens diameter. Binoculars with a magnification power of five, for example, make objects appear five times closer....

The Best Rice Cooker And Food Steamer Is This Cusinart Cooker

I’m a sucker for fancy-looking kitchen gadgets that are shiny and pretty and by and large, worthless. Meaning, mostly overpriced garbage that I’ll use once, if at all, and then forget I even own. The exception here is my pasta maker, my culinary true love. And in second place is my Cuisinart rice cooker slash food steamer (known as the Cuisinart CRC-400 Rice Cooker 4-Cup Silver if you’re nasty). It’s a creation so stupidly brilliant, I can’t figure out why no one else thought of it sooner....

The Best Toddler Tablets Are Packed With Educational Games

When choosing a tablet for your toddler, it’s important to get one that’s age-appropriate and easy to use. A 1-year-old doesn’t need an iPad (or even internet access, for that matter). You don’t want to invest a ton of cash in something that will be thrown around in the car or go missing during a sleepover at grandma’s house, yet you want something that will survive myriad drops, falls, and kicks....

The Best Underrated Bourbons You Need To Know

David Nicholson 1843 When our local shop has a bottle of David Nicholson 1843, we do our level best to snap it up. This wheated bourbon has a buttery feel with smokey notes spinning around a delicious vanilla sweetness and a hint of mint. Sip it neat if prefer.

The Best Water Balloon Launchers For Amping Up Your Wet Warfare

Zuro Bunch O Balloons Slingshot From the makers of the revolutionary Bunch-o-balloons, those linked water balloons that you can fill up all at once and look like tethered-together alien eggs, comes this weapon of watery destruction. Called a slingshot, it’s more of a balloon-launching longbow that fires H20-filled orbs instead of arrows. This thing is no joke: It can fling balloons up to 100 feet and does so powerfully. It’s a lot of fun — but best fired at things that are very long distance or for target practice against non-humans....

The Great Recession Tanked The American Birth Rate

American fertility rates hit an all-time low of 1,728 births per 1,000 women in 2018, well below the “replacement rate” of 2,100 births per 1,000 women. That means that Americans aren’t having enough kids to keep the population stable (immigration is obviously part of population stability as well, but that has also been trending down despite presidential pronouncements to the contrary). A decline in population means fewer workers and consumers....

The Moment I Realized My Free Range Parenting Paid Off

We’re lucky enough to live close to the ocean here in Costa Mesa. Huntington Beach is very close — right around the corner, about 10 minutes from my house. Every year, there’s an annual event called the Huntington Beach US Open. It’s a huge surfing competition. So this year for the US Open weekend, I had a friend staying in town with me. He’s known me for about five or six years....

The New Rules Of Covid Testing For Kids And Parents Vaccinated Or Not

“I would feel very uncomfortable sending my child to school without knowing that everyone was masked, and without knowing that all teachers were vaccinated,” Paul Offit, MD, Director of the Vaccine Education Center and an infectious disease specialist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told Fatherly. So as your kid heads back to the classroom, surrounded by unvaccinated peers that may not be wearing masks, how often should they get tested for COVID?...

The Noodley Light Up Stuffed Bear Revolutionized My Kid S Bedtime Fatherly

My two boys have a difficult relationship with the dark. Which is to say it freaks them out. And I get it. Everything they’ve ever read or seen seems to confirm to them that the dark is populated by monsters and scary creatures. That’s why, every night before bed, for at least the last two years, we engage in an illumination negotiation: “Can you leave the hallways light on? Can you keep the hallway light off and the bathroom light on?...

So, is there anything real in this trailer at all? Well, turns out, there’s basically only one scene in the trailer that actually occurred in real life. Yes! I am right! Although the overall point of WEIRD is to be an intentionally over-the-top, utterly fictitious account of Weird Al’s (Daniel Radcliffe) rise to fame, there are some broad aspects of the retelling of Al Yankovic’s life that are truthful in spirit....

The Polaroid Cube Is A Kid Friendly Pov Camera

If the Polaroid Cube has a killer app, it’s that the bottom is magnetized, which makes mounting it to things like a scooter or a balance bike completely idiot-proof. Speaking of proof, it’s also shockproof and water resistant and, at $100, it’s $100 cheaper than the cheapest GoPro. So, it may not be appropriate for your downhill mountain bike ride, but it might be perfect to see what your kid’s walk to school looks like from their point of view....

“Both sides of the aisle, in fact, are complaining about how little the senate has done,” Lesley told Fatherly. “We didn’t even put our entire agenda on there. These were just bills that we felt were either bipartisan, common sense, or technical correction kinds of bills.” While some of the bills on McConnell’s desk are more sweeping than others, it’s hard to see why a vote can’t be called on them....

The Smartest Way To Make A Major Career Change

For some, the answer is, “No way.” They’ve had it with bosses, meetings, the subject matter, and a bunch of other things. They’re, in a word, done. But the thought isn’t about merely leaving a company. People do that constantly. This is the bigger-picture step of making a career change. So the question becomes: How do you change careers, especially when you might be a bit older and have a couple of kids?...

The Warriors To Take Young Fans To Museum Not The White House

It’s hard to imagine that the Warriors would have had a pleasant visit with Trump anyway. Several members of the team, as well as coach Steve Kerr, have been publicly critical of the administration in the past....
