When you’re thinking about getting a new haircut, and particularly if you’re looking for low-maintenance medium-length haircuts, it can be hard to know where to start. Whatever your current hair length, whether it be short, medium or long, switching up your look can be so exciting, but it can also leave you feeling overwhelmed by choice or unsure of which style to commit to once you’re in the salon chair. The best hairstylists, however, will work with you to find the best haircut and hairstyle for your lifestyle. It’s important to discuss how you would like your hair to look but also what your needs are. For instance, maybe you’re thinking about adding in some face-framing layers to your medium-length hair, but you still want to be able to tie your hair b...

Thin hair can be difficult. And the thing is, much like how one skincare product might work for your friend, but won’t agree with your skin, the same goes for hair products and hair thickening advice. Different hair tips and tricks will have varying success among hair types and textures. For instance, I’ve watched friends create tumbling, voluminous waves using a hair straightener on their hair, but when I try to replicate it on my own hair, the curls will never hold (I personally find a hair wand or tong will give me long-lasting curls). Therefore, if you’re looking for ways to make fine hair look fuller, it can pay to experiment with different techniques to see what works for your unique hair. However, there are some thin hair principles th...

If you ask me, summer is the ideal time to switch up your beauty routine and experiment. This year, I believe this to be particularly true. After two summers of restrictions, summer soirées, festivals and holidays are firmly back on the agenda, and there’s a celebratory mood in the air.  As such, we’re seeing this reflected in beauty trends. Models at MSGM’s and Versace’s S/S 22 shows were sent down the runway with vivid green eyeliner, which feels so right for festival season, and colourful hair accessories have made a major comeback amongst the fashion set this season, as seen on the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy and on the runway at Max Mara. In nail salons, everyone is opting for colourful nail art right now, and rightfully so. Who doesn’t want a dopamine hit on their fingertips? “With...

Mention ‘Olaplex’ in a room full of beauty editors, and you can assure that it will strike up lots of conversation. Olaplex has become a modern-day beauty classic, with coveted products which help to repair hair bonds for stronger and healthier hair. If you don’t already have an Olaplex product, then you’ll no doubt have seen it in a friend’s bathroom or on the bathroom shelves of beauty insiders on Instagram. The little bottle called Olaplex No.3 is probably the most well-known. But what makes Olaplex products so special? The range has patented bond-building technology (called Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate), which basically works to repair damaged hair bonds from the inside out, which is ideal if you colour your hair, or use hot styling tools&n...

On behalf of all thin-haired women out there, I would like to take this opportunity to beg the beauty industry to stop telling us that we need to buy more styling products. I have spent my entire life looking for ways to make my hair thicker, and it wasn’t until I sat down with a brutally honest trichologist a few weeks ago that I finally understood my situation. I’m never going to grow more hair. The scalp can’t grow more hair follicles. The hair I have is the hair I have, and all I can do is make sure I keep it as healthy as I possibly can. Since learning this, I’ve thought long and hard about all of the money I’ve wasted on styling products designed to make my hair look thicker—the sort that do already thick hair wonders but ma...

I often find the simplest hairstyles look the best and I have a theory about this, so indulge me, please. The easier your hair is to style, the quicker it takes and therefore you get less frustrated and flustered and you’re less likely to have to rush other parts of your routine; like picking your outfit and makeup.  As a result, everything just feels a lot more put together.  Sure, sometimes I allow myself extra time to perfect a glossy hair look, or a braided style but most of the time I want the quickest way to great hair. It’s why I’ve nailed curling with straighteners and I wrap my hair at night to keep it straight if I get a silk press and why I’m always on the hunt for hair tools that are beyond easy to use. So, when the new BaByliss 9000 Waver landed ...

The thing is hair loss is such a complex issue that affects so many people and is triggered by a laundry list of causes. One thing that has to be said is that it’s normal to lose some hair every day. In fact, up to 100 hairs a day is average as a part of a healthy growth cycle. If your hair is in braids or held in extensions, when you remove these, you’ll also lose all the hair that is trapped, so it’ll feel like a lot. “Excess shedding is when follicles are prematurel. A normal rate is 10%, but this can increase up to 35% with premature shedding,” says Wil Fleeson, director at Rainbow Room International and director of Trichology Scotland. “Common triggers for this are iron deficiency, stress and anxiety, change in medication or change in diet and also post-pregnancy.” You ...

“When choosing the right shade of blonde, it’s important to consider your skin tone, its undertone, and also your eye colour,” says Cobella. “For people with cooler skin tones, ashier, cool-toned blonde shades suit them best. For warm skin tones, I recommend golden, honey-toned shades.” It’s also important to consider the maintenance that comes with going blonde. Depending on your hair colour and the colour application method that your hair colourist uses, you may need regular salon appointments to keep your hair colour looking its best. You’ll also want to consider how much heat styling you use. “Before going blonde, consider your hair’s current condition. Can it withstand going blonde? Think about your lifestyle. Going blonde can requ...

Let’s be honest: Medium-length haircuts get a bad rap. Often, we treat mid-length hairstyles as if they’re a burden on us. “It’s at that awkward length at the moment,” we say. For some time, medium-length haircuts have been considered (dare we say it) a little dated. Here at Who What Wear, however, we like to see the potential in everything and have concluded that we’ve been sat on mid-length styles for too long. In fact, we’d go as far to say medium-length cuts are back. Short hair can be high-maintenance, and long hair can prove a pain, so in theory, medium-length haircuts should be the crowd favourite—and they’re becoming increasingly popular. Forget blunt chops and shapeless mops. The midi cut can be cooler than you ever believed, especially in 2022. “A lot of curre...

Although I’ve always been a brunette, as soon as the sun makes an appearance and the temperature soars, I’m always tempted to go lighter. I usually opt for balayage or highlights to give my summer hair colour some dimension, but each summer I feel a jolt of excitement of going just a little bit blonder. In fact, hairdressers and hair colourists often tell me that once you dabble with blonde, you never look back. However, choosing the right shade of blonde can be an overwhelming decision. So, we enlisted the help of Jordanna Cobella, Creative Director of Cobella Salon and Wella Professionals Craft Expert, to talk us through blonde hair–and I’ve saved the best blonde hair colours that I’ve found to provide some salon inspiration. “When choosing the rig...
