Blue Ivy Sparks Jay-Z's Hair Evolution in Father's Day Cécred Video

Beyoncé reveals in a Cécred Father's Day video that Jay-Z grew out his dreadlocks to show Blue Ivy that her curls are like his, documenting a days-long detangling of nearly nine years of hair and a tribute to his late father Adnis Reeves. The film also highlights Blue Ivy's milestones, including narrating Hair Love as a child and contributing vocals to Formation and Brown Skin Girl.

Jay-Z Grows Out Locs to Celebrate Blue Ivy

Jay-Z grew out his locs and later had them combed out in a Father’s Day moment narrated by Beyoncé in a seven‑minute video tied to Cécred. Beyoncé explains the gesture was to show Blue Ivy that her curls have the same texture as his, inspired by Blue’s earlier insecurities about her hair; Blue even helps comb through the hair, and the transformation took about a week, turning a personal family moment into a celebrity‑style promo for the brand.

Jost Nearly Goes Bald During SNL Joke Swap

During Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update joke swap, Colin Jost flirted with losing his signature hair as Michael Che teased a provocative bit; a barber appeared on cue to shave him, Jost muttered “Send in the barber,” and Che’s pushback kept the plan from fully going through, with Jost later material appearing in a bald cap for curtain call.

Lab-Grown Hair Follicles Reach Growth Milestone in Mice

Researchers created fully functional hair follicles in the lab using a three-cell recipe (epithelial stem cells, dermal papilla cells, and accessory mesenchymal cells), enabling growth cycles and tissue attachment in mice; this marks progress toward lab-grown hair restoration and organ regeneration, though human trials are not yet underway and scaling/transplantation remain challenges. OrganTech partly funded the work, and the findings were published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications.

"France Takes Action: Banning Hair Discrimination and Confronting Racism"

France's lower house of parliament approved a bill to ban discrimination based on hair texture, length, color, or style, with the aim of supporting Black people and others who have faced hostility in the workplace. The bill, proposed by lawmaker Olivier Serva, would make France the first country to recognize hair-based discrimination at a national level. The legislation, which echoes similar laws in the U.S., faces opposition in the Senate from right-wing and far-right lawmakers who view it as importing U.S. concepts about race. Advocates hope the bill addresses the long struggle of Black French people to embrace their natural hair and provides legal protection against discrimination.

"Surprising Discovery: Unlikely Animal Reveals Evolutionary Origins of Hair"

Research on the tropical clawed frog suggests that the origins of mammalian hair can be traced back to a common ancestor of frogs and mammals, around 375 million years ago. The study found that frogs share genes involved in the production of keratin-like molecules, similar to those responsible for hair and nails in mammals. The regulatory gene Hoxc13, crucial for hair development, was present in the last common ancestor of all jawed vertebrates, indicating its significant role in evolution. The findings suggest that the original function of these molecules in frogs' toe tips was conserved and later modified for the development of hair in mammals, contributing to the evolution of tissue regeneration in adult organisms.
