Every few months, I get this strong urge to cut my hair and get a bob. I had a 1950s-inspired bouncy bob once, and let me tell you, it changed my life. And recently, I’ve been spending much of my time in a never-ending daydream of reminiscing and searching for brunette bob hairstyles. What I adore about the brunette bob haircut is how understated it is while still looking like a simple haircut. Don’t get me wrong, it still requires plenty of skill from the hairstylist to make it look so effortless, but it’s generally a manageable style, making it a great low maintenance haircut. And there are so many variations of the bob hairstyle to try. A cropped, blunt bob looks totally stylish, as does a bob with a fringe. But equally, if you want to keep the length of your hair...

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 ...

When I sniff out a sprinkling of a new hair trend, I am all over it, keenly looking to see if it’ll take off imminently. And that’s exactly what happened when I noticed more people dyeing their hair copper at the tail end of the A/W season 2021. Doja Cat and Barbie Ferreira marked the new year with their fiery hues and the trend was cemented with Kendall Jenner’s hair colour switch ahead of the A/W season, certifying it as one of the hottest colours of the year. Seeing it on the catwalks of Paris and Milan for the A/W 22/23 season was the cream on top of the cake. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

K18 uses a patented peptide in their formula that can penetrate deep into the hair shaft and reconnect broken keratin bonds to make hair stronger and feel smoother. While a lot of masks and conditoners do help make your hair feel smooth, most will only work on the outer layers of the hair and some even use ingredients to mimic smoothness without actually fixing the problem. Have you ever used a mask that feels great but then you wash your hair and it feels super tangly and dry? That’s because the conditioner you used sat on top of your hair but isn’t actually repairing from the inside, usually due to the silicone or silicone-like ingredients in the formula. Which brings me to the first thing that’s a bit odd about this mask, you don’t condition before you apply it. You just shampoo, towel-...

Wash day is, perhaps, one of the most dreaded days of the weekly beauty calendar. Because no one actually enjoys washing their hair, right? It’s one of those time-consuming tasks that more often than not leaves us feeling beaten down and deflated. Whether your hair is long and fine or short and curly, the act of brushing, shampooing, conditioning, brushing again, and then drying hair can feel like a battle.  But what if we told you there were some simple things you can do to make it easier? In fact, we’ve recently discovered (through conversations with a bunch of our go-to experts) that washing our hair is one of the most integral parts of our beauty routine in general. Whether you’re dealing with body breakouts, greasy roots, dry skin, ...

I’ve spent most of my time as a beauty journalist working directly with hairdressers covering trends, news and advice. And for the most part, I treat the hair advice I’ve received as gospel, and I drill home the importance of listening to pro hairdressers about at-home maintenance. However, there is one point, in particular, where I veer from hairdressers’ advice: cheap shampoo. I use it all the time. Professional and salon-quality haircare and styling products are really important for healthy hair. I just needed to say that before we continue. For the most part, you’ll find that they have fewer filler ingredients and synthetics that cheat the feeling of smooth hair and actually have a higher concentration ...

It’s no secret that Scandi girls know a thing or two about cool. Their penchant for colour and laid-back aesthetic makes for one hell of a chic recipe. Everything from their clothes to their skincare oozes effortless style—and we want in. In fact, I’ve been scribbling notes on how to replicate Scandi-girl style for years but it seems as though things are easier observed than done. When it comes to nailing Scandi fashion, I have to admit defeat. What I have learned, however, is that a key part of any Scandi-girl look is a no-fuss, low-maintenance hairstyle—the kind that looks like you just sort of chucked it up and it just fell that way. And while I’m all too aware that effortless-looking hairstyles are some of the most difficult to execu...

We’ll just come right out and say it. Messy buns are the ultimate cool-girl hairstyle. Name a more effortless-looking but elevated style to put your hair in—we’ll wait. Messy buns come in all different shapes and styles. There are the quintessential messy buns you’re likely thinking of, where you pull unbrushed hair into a loose bun in three seconds flat, but there are also tons of more polished takes on the style that should be on your radar. Think slicked-back buns or knots with romantic, face-framing pieces. Below, we’ve rounded up our 25 favorites that we’re immediately adding to our mood boards.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

To quench this, I reach for hydrating serums, oils and creams; I pick shampoos that don’t strip hair, and of course, I use nourishing masks. “For dry hair, masks are one the most intensive treatments you can give your hair on the regular,” says Sophie Benson, education manager for Keune Hair UK. “Traditionally, you can use them once per week or every five shampoos. However, if your hair is lightened or exposed to over-styling, heat products, sun exposure, swimming/sports, etc., or you have longer hair, then you can use a mask instead of a conditioner every time you wash your hair.” So with that said, these are the products that I load up on and recommend to friends when the summer heat takes its toll on our hair.

You can always accessorize. Polko recommends the trendy jaw clip. “It continues to gain momentum as one of this season’s easiest and hottest styling trends,” she says. “To get the look, I like to mix together the Aquage Transforming Paste with the brand’s Finishing Spray and use this blend to slick hair back, using a fine-tooth comb to smooth strands. You can secure hair with an elastic, although they can be stressful and damaging to strands, so I typically forgo that step, twist hair up, and put the jaw clip in. This style also looks cute with two front pieces left out for a face frame.” And it doesn’t just end with jaw clips. Try any kind of hair accessory to mix things up. “Scarves, headbands, claw clips, pins, and scrunchies are a gr...

“Next, it’s time to secure your ponytail,” says Mewies. “Position is so important, so don’t go too high or too low in the nape. The middle of the back of your head is where you want to be,” she says. “Once secured, twist and bend the ponytail into shape winding around the hair tie and pinning as it starts to bend. Allow the hair to move in its own direction. Don’t force it too much into a shape it doesn’t want to go!” A bungee hair tie will make creating this style much easier, says Wanstall. “A Bungee tie will get the ponytail super tight. Then use grips to pin in the bun to make sure it’s super clean,” he says. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a da...
