PREP FOR PLATINUM Repeated bleaching can damage cuticles (read: give you dry, brittle strands). So starting two weeks before a major color overhaul, replace your usual conditioner with a biotin-packed deep-conditioning mask and apply it from roots to tips, suggests Hazan. SKIP THE SHAMPOO Yep, you get a free pass for one week pre-process. According to NYC-based Hazan, the woman behind Beyoncé’s and Katy Perry’s hair color, routine cleansing strips natural oils that protect the scalp from the “harsh, burning sensation” caused by bleach. BOOST SHINE After a salon visit, reach for a DIY gloss, which brightens dark shades and ensures blonde hair won’t turn yellow. Coat strands after cleansing, wait five minutes, then rinse out. USE SUN PROTECTION Environmental blockers such as Hazan’s mist (right) form a protective veil…

•SEPTEMBER 4, 2017 Leah Remini wants to take down the Church of Scientology — and its most high-profile member, Tom Cruise. During an August 15 Reddit AMA promoting her A&E docuseries, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, Remini, who cut ties with the religion in 2013, was asked if her former friend is a good person. “No!” the actress, 47, replied, calling Cruise, 55, diabolical. “There is a public persona of the guy who looks at you directly in the eye and shakes your hand and hugs you and is an attentive person to you and there’s the person behind the mask who is a completely different person.” (In a statement to Us, the church refuted her claims: “Remini is bent on inciting hate and bigotry against a worldwide religion.”)…
