Those with curls should pay close attention. If nothing else, Gutterman says you should at least do this one thing. “I love using a silk bonnet when my hair is curly, and when it’s straight, I like to do a flat wrap to avoid messing up the style. Also, putting the hair into two braids on each side can save the hair from frizz and give you a cute wave for the next day!”  I also wear a satin cap at night to keep my curls from getting too tangled or frizzy and it’s been a game-changer for me. I wake up with strands that are more hydrated and smooth, plus they stay that way longer throughout the day.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Winter is officially here, and while the sudden cold snap made us catch our breath, there’s nothing like the changing of seasons to make you want to switch things up. From swapping out your wardrobe to heavier fabrics to exchanging beauty products for richer formulas, the shift to winter inspires a longing (or need) for something different. If you’re anything like me, that feeling also applies to your hairstyle. Whether that’s a new cut or a whole new colour, the itch to change up your look is natural. If the feeling strikes you, I say go for it. To find out what’s trending right now in the hair world, I spoke to two top stylists to let us in on what their clients are requesting right now. From rich chestnut hues to short, blunt bobs, below are&n...

No matter how much you might spend on it, there’s something about shampoo that always feels like the most basic step of your hair routine. After all, sudsing up in the shower just isn’t that exciting—it’s the masks, hair oils and styling products that bring the fun later. While I am partial to a more expensive shampoo-and-conditioner duo, if you’re looking to save some money, this is the place in your hair routine where I often recommend cutting costs, leaving you to invest more in your styling products instead. As a beauty editor, I have tested a lot of shampoos over the years, but while the luxe cleansers often feel great, and smell even better, there are plenty of drugstore shampoos that I use regularly and recommend to my friends who have a plethora of hair type...

Celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson (who tends to the hair colour of Jennifer Anniston and Margot Robbie) summed it up best when I asked him about his hair colour predictions for this season. “I think that hair colour should always suit you; it should suit your lifestyle and it should suit your skin tone,” he said. “Think: when you see someone walk out of a workout and their hair is just a beautiful, natural colour that suits them, even if they’re not wearing any makeup—that’s good hair colour. It just works with every part of your lifestyle.” And other hair colourists feel the same way. “Recently, I’ve noticed hair trends have shifted to more subtle seasonal themes, and now more than ever, clients are looking to make ...

“This is something relaxed and wearable but that also really makes a statement,” explains Jonathan Andrew, hair stylist and Fudge ambassador. “Low-key luxe is a strong look especially during the winter months, as there are so many more events and parties to attend. It makes for a great finish that looks effortless, feels light and deconstructed, yet is cool and on trend.” As for the low-key hair kit essentials: “Everyone should have a good hairspray and texture spray to really hold everything in place, and if you’re going for the more polished looks always have a good serum on hand. It can execute a look perfectly and take it from day-to-night with a texture switch up,” says Andrew. Also, see heated tools like your blow-dryer and curling tong as your best friends.

When you work in fashion and beauty, there’s no better time than the beginning of a new season. New seasons mean new collections to wear, products to try, weather to dress for and often, a refreshed cycle of trends to discover. With more micro-trends emerging every day on social media, we’ve noticed a shift away from traditional beauty trends as people move towards feel-good beauty regimens that harness their personal styles and moods. This is also the case with hair—just ask any hairdresser in the know (or refer to our beauty editor, as I often do), and they’ll tell you that whether you’re after a lob or a bob, want to go blonder or try the copper colour of the moment, it’s all about making the trend work for your hair, not making your hair work for the trend...

“The chemistry behind serums means that they can be highly concentrated to deliver very specific benefits,” explains Kuldeep Knox, founder of Chāmpo haircare. “Because they are usually composed of very small molecules, they are readily absorbed by hair, which means you can use less and get more value for money. They can be easily formulated to deliver a wide range of results, such as adding volume, managing frizz, and protecting against heat or pollution damage.” With so many fantastic hair serums on the market, however, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when trying to find the perfect match. That’s why I’ve created the ultimate edit of hair serums for every hair type and concern. Happy hair incoming. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are loo...

If long hair has been your thing for as long as you can remember, this just might be the year you make a change. Take me, for example. I’ve had long hair my whole life (with the exception of one not-so-chic VB-inspired bob), but something about how wonderfully undone and effortlessly stylish short hair can be means the idea of chopping it all off is really starting to appeal to me. It might have something to do with the blunt bobs I’ve been seeing around, but I’ve never been more inspired to chop all of my hair off and go for a shorter style. And while a bob might seem like the obvious choice right now, going even shorter is equally as chic—and it seems I’m not alone in thinking so. Yes, that’s right. I’m talking short, shor...

If there’s one person that I can wholeheartedly trust, it’s a hairstylist. And not just with my deepest darkest secrets (they’re our unofficial therapists, right?) but for a dose of great hair advice. Whether it’s recommending on a new haircut to suit my face shape, a trending hair colour or how I can get my loose curls to last for longer, they always have the answers. After all, hairdressers and hairstylists work with hair day in, day out. They work with multiple hair types and textures and know how to get the best out of our hair, even when it’s not playing ball.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

When it comes to 2022’s unexpected comebacks, none have surprised me more than the return of the mullet. Yes, this retro throwback haircut—made cool in the ’70s by celebs like David Bowie and less so in the ’80s by presenters like Pat Sharp—is enjoying something of a renaissance as we all emerge out of lockdown ready to embrace a long back and sides, apparently. In fact, according to a report by Cloud Nine, the mullet has 7.7 billion TikTok views and 2.24 million Google searches worldwide over the 12 months. That’s a lot of mullet inspo.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

But actually, I sort of have it easy in comparison to others. You see, my hair is straight. My friends that have curls and coils are always reminding me that wash day could be a whole lot worse. Because really, straight hair is a whole lot quicker to wash and style that curly hair is.  But I think there’s a product that helps us all out. It helps replenish curly styles with moisture for easier styling while also helping to reduce wash time for all—and it’s been staring us in the face for some time. Yep, I’m talking about leave-in conditioners.  While my curly-haired friends have used leave-in conditioners for almost their whole lives to help nourish and hydrate their curls, it has never really occurred to me that replacing my usual ...
