It is actually something completely different. Bananas are technically berries and the black bit is the nub of the flower from which the giant banana berry grew. Bananas grow on trees in bunches, and the end is actually the top of the fruit while the hard stalk is the bottom. But given most people eat bananas by snapping off the stalk first, the residual flower nub is left at the end. This black bit is entirely edible but people often throw it away because it has a tough texture and a bitter taste. So now you know, there is nothing stopping you from getting one of your five a day.

No one knows hair color like Tracey Cunningham, especially when it comes to blondes. Think of celebrities who are bordering-platinum blonde — January Jones, Julia Garner, Khloe Kardashian (at the moment she’s very blonde) — they all see Cunningham every six weeks. Now, most people who want the lightest white tone of blonde are seeing their colorist for what’s called a “bleach and tone” — the process of applying bleach to entire head until it’s all white, then applying a toner to get the desired undertone — but Cunningham has an alternate technique that she uses to mitigate damage. She says it’s the reason her blonde clients are able to keep their hair so healthy.
