Fine-hair types know that they want to avoid anything that weighs down their hair or makes it seem flat. “Fine hair gets tangled quickly and easily, and that is where a lot of breakage happens,” says Laura Polko, T3 brand ambassador and celebrity stylist. “It is a bit more fragile since it is a thinner strand, and it cannot withstand the same heat, chemicals, and environmental factors as thicker hair.” That means you want to be using the right products and tools to care for your delicate strands. And when it comes to the latter, you especially want to make sure you have a brush on hand that is gentle enough on the hair but also able to detangle and style. It might seem like a tall order, but I asked some hairstylists for their tips, which they shared below...

More than any other season, there’s something about fall that makes me immediately want to experiment with hair trends. Whether that means picking up the scissors or changing shades, I’m never content with my fall hair unless I try something new. Luckily, it seems like everyone else agrees with me, as fall hairstyles are always the most enticing trends to try. This year, fall hair trends are taking major inspiration from the ’70s—think shag cuts, eye-sweeping bangs, and tons of long, bouncy layers. For hair colour, expect rich, luxe-looking shades that give depth to hair. I spoke with top hairstylists in the industry to get insider info on all the best hair trends that are coming at us this fall. Trust me—you won’t be disappointed. Before you book a s...

Having thick hair is always seen as such a blessing in the beauty world. ‘You’re so lucky, you have such thick hair!’ is the statement I always hear. It’s true, it’s something that I wouldn’t change about my texture but it’s definitely not all smooth sailing. No matter the texture or how you tend to style it, thick hair can become uncontrollable and can err on the frizzy side with the wrong products and care, so I’m always looking for the best products to style my thick hair. Another thing that often affects thicker hair is humidity. If you have thick hair that also has high porosity (this is when the cuticles of your hair let moisture in easily causing) frizz and lack of definition can be a huge problem plus, often this can mean that styles will drop out more easily. Before I got int...

There’s something about this time of year that always makes me want to book into the salon for a hair change. Whether it’s choosing a new autumn hair colour trend or opting for a brand-new haircut, the possibilities are endless at the hands of a hairdresser. I’ve always worn my hair long, but I’m really feeling a hairstyle change this season. My appointment for balayage is booked, and I’m also considering some face-framing bottleneck bangs to switch things up a little. It’s fair to say that my Instagram Saved folder and Pinterest boards are filled with autumnal balayage and timeless bob haircuts. While I might not be brave enough to take the plunge just yet, I’m still totally obsessed with those shorter styles. However, if, like me, you&#...

In my opinion, hair accessories are so underrated when it comes to updating your hairstyle. And the best news is that some of the best hair accessory looks are just so easy to replicate. Whether it is placing a simple hair slide on one side of your hair to accent your hairstyle, or a claw clip to effortlessly tie your hair back, the opportunities are endless. Hair accessories take a matter of minutes to work into your hairstyle, but they make it look like you but serious effort into your hair. And that is the exact kind of magic we need on busy mornings.

Ah, the ’90s. An era defined by MTV, halter-neck tops, and more boy bands than we care to count. Some of our absolute favorite pop culture moments were born out of this decade, and when we think back on it, we can’t help but relish in the wonderfully wild ’90s hairstyles. From messy buns to a broad selection of fringes, and, of course, butterfly clips galore, there was something special about the hair trends from this time. The It girls of the era, such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Gwen Stefani, were serving up enough inspiration to carry us right into the following decade. If you’re as nostalgic as we are, then you’ll love this roundup of the 20 most quintessentially ’90s hairstyles we would low-key wear today. We might get some strange lo...

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 autumn. “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 ...

As we get older, it’s only natural that we lean towards hair changes. If you’ve sported a long, straight look for most of your adult life, it’s totally normal to want to chop it all off into a shorter style as you start to creep towards your 50s. This is normal not just because tastes and fashions change but also because, much like our skin, our hair ages too. “At the scalp, we may find dryness, sensitivity and slackness, and in the hair, we may see dullness, brittleness and thinning,” says Nicky Lazou, Kérastase expert and celebrity hairstylist.  For these reasons, switching up your signature hairstyle with age is a very common, and often necessary, change to make. The problem is that when hair is going through this transition, it can...

If you’ve landed here, you’re most likely considering some short, layered hairstyles for your next salon visit. Or if you have short hair already, you might be looking for ways you can change up your look day to day. The good news is that there are so many cool short hairstyles to choose from, and the fashion set has been delivering endless short hairstyle ideas that we are desperate to take to the salon this season. You might have been led to believe that short hair means committing to one look. But that’s simply not the case. Bob haircuts look incredible worn straight and sleek or with cool-girl waves, and hair accessories can totally transform short hair by giving it an effortless update—ideal if you’re looking for low maintenance hair. Equally, braids ...

As a beauty editor— and someone who has always had long hair—I often find myself lacking hair inspiration. It seems silly given my occupation, and that I speak to top hairstylists and have tried several hairstyling tools over the years. The thing is, I’m guilty of wearing my hair down most days, and occasionally tonging my hair with loose curls if I’m heading somewhere special, or want to mix it up. But realistically, I’ll probably spend 5-10 minutes max on my hair in the mornings most days, and I like no-fuss hairstyles that get me out of the door on time. I was feeling it a bit of a hair rut, so I wanted to seek some easy hairstyles for long hair that I can turn to on the days when I want to look more pulled together, without spending 40 minutes curl...

“Wow. What the Corrale lacks in speed, it absolutely makes up for in precision and execution. Just one steady glide was all it needed to straighten my hair, which is unheard of for me. The plates do make a scratching noise as you straighten, but I later learned this is due to the flexing technology that shapes to gather the hair. Instantly, I noticed my hair didn’t have its usual fly-aways or frizz; it was glossy, sleek, shiny and soft to the touch. Even my husband, who once didn’t clock when I had my nipple-grazing tresses cut above my shoulder, commented on how ‘nice’ it was looking. That’s something, right? “Knowing how impressed I was, my mum spoilt me by buying me a set for Christmas. I’ve used them every second day since, and I fee...
