Where? In the comfort of your own home! The effect this oil has on your hair is much quicker and easier than traveling to a spa and have a hair wrap – and much less expensive! All you need to do is head down to your nearest salon and pick up a bottle of Moroccan Oil, or order it from the website, so you don’t even need to leave the house. Moroccanoil is definitely having a moment. The range of products includes the hero serum which is designed to seal in shine, heal split ends and smooth frizz, shampoo, conditioner and the cult classic, Moroccanoil treatment. We decided our hair was in desperate need of healing, so we thought we would try the celebrity favourite; the Moroccanoil treatment. “>

The Gossip: (1) Despite rumours of Mark Wright finding love with another woman, Lauren seemed like she was in a very good mood. The beautician, who recently had her tanning salon petrol bombed, was looking skinnier than ever at the event. We were having a chat with the reality star, as she told us internet trolls are still being unkind towards her: ’There are some really unkind bullies out there. They don’t even know me. Who do they think they are? ’They call me a beached whale and a fat c***. They also call me Miss Piggy.’

We think Lauren looks fab and those people are just jel! We thought she looked so good, we asked her what her diet secrets are:

(2) Only a couple of episodes ago, DJ Lauren Pope had her PIP implants removed, and was on her way to bigger and better breasts. Now the ex-glamour model has said she has a new take on life, after being involved with Live Below The Line. ‘Until I took part in the Live Below the Line’s cook-off, I didn’t really understand what extreme poverty meant,’ Pope said. ’Having barely £1 a day to live off is madness. I am proud to support the campaign as it has taught me a lot.” The charity event has even made her rethink spending more money on another boob job!

To celebrate it’s 30th birthday, the quirky building held a contemporary evening, as part of the Music Nation events. The Barbican hold loads of alternative music events, and getting involved is something you won’t regret!

The Gossip: (1) Our favourite N-Dubz star Fazer, were among the stars who took part in the urban music night. The R&B star has been a bit down in the dumps recently following on from his split with Tulisa. The X-Factor judge has been making her mark on the US whilst on holiday, and doesn’t appear to be coming back any time soon; much to Fazer’s disappointment.

(2) The N-Dubber, who grew up in South London, said that anyone can get into music; whether it is producing, singing or writing, no matter your background, with hard work and passion you can do anything. Have a look at Fazer behind the scenes at the event:

(3) MC superstar Ms Dynamite was nattering about women in the urban industry, and how it is twice as hard to make it as a female. The British superstar said one of the best ways to fit in with the men is to look the part. The R&B and dance music scene is all about looking good, and the London girl says the best way to feel sexy is to throw on a good dress.
