“The best way to use a hair mousse is to really pump out a golf ball–size amount into the palm of your hands and then use your fingers to take small amounts and slowly rake it through the hair, starting at the ends and using the remaining amount of mousse to be scrunched into the roots,” says King. “If you have curly hair, I would do the same thing, but always scrunch into the hair. Do not rake through the hair because this can create frizz. So always scrunch into the hair, starting at the mid-lengths to ends and then ending the last amount scrunching at the roots.” The great thing about mousse is that it can work for all hair types and textures. “Mousse is really good because it encourages really defined curls or coils in type 3 and type 4 hair,” h...

I don’t know about you, but I love the start of a new season, particularly the start of autumn/winter. As the leaves turn to fiery orange, and we swap our summer footwear for winter boots, I can’t help but get swept up in that back-to-school feeling, pulling out my trusted knitwear and adding some new A/W trends to my wardrobe. Same for you? If so, it’s only natural that we’re also keen to update our hair as the seasons shift. While in summer, we might opt for lighter, golden hair colour such as balayage, in autumn and winter, it can be fun to embrace those warmer auburn and brunette shades. Nothing gives that back-to-school feeling like a brand-new haircut, and a big chop is a fail-safe for riddi...

The best starting point, when attempting to deal with hair loss, is to take a look at the shampoo you are using. If your hair loss is scalp-related, it’s likely that swapping your current shampoo out for a specialist product aimed at hair loss will make a difference. “The health of your scalp plays a vital role in hair growth. Everything from scalp inflammation and microbial imbalances to genetics and hormonal sensitivities can impact the health of your hair follicles, and the hairs that emerge from them. Use daily topical products to help stimulate and protect your scalp from both internal and external aggressors, ” says Consultant Trichologist Anabel Kingsley. With that in mind though, it’s important to know the limitations of to...

For the majority of my life, I had hair that went past my waist. My hair became part of my identity—I was known for having extremely long hair, and I loved my hair. I’ve cut it off a couple of times and always let it grow back, but in the summer of 2020, I wanted a major change, so I chopped it into a bob. Since then, I’ve been trying to grow it back, but it just hasn’t been growing as fast as I’d like it to thanks to a few too many “maintenance” haircuts and one extremely damaging round of highlights before I took my hair dark.  After my last haircut in December, I decided to get serious about growing my hair out again. Hair typically grows about six inches a year, or half an inch per month. I am an impatient person, so I tried every hack in the book to get my hair to grow ...

Since launching in 2018, the Dyson AirWrap has sent the beauty world into a spin. Thanks to the likes of TikTok and influencers using the hairstyling tool to create sought after ’90s blowouts, waves and sleek styles, its popularity has sky-rocketed and, as a result, it’s often sold out across multiple retailers. And any new stock that does come in doesn’t stay around for very long, which only adds to its desirability. So what makes the Dyson AirWrap so special? It’s the only hair tool that harnesses what Dyson call ‘the coanda effect’. This means that the hairstyling tool creates a spinning vortex of air, which draws the hair in and around the barrel, which is what is responsible for creating those bouncy curls you’re seeing on your feed....

I’ve tried so many protective styles over the years including braids, wigs, weaves and twists. The best thing about protective styling is that you wake up with your hair pretty much done every day, something that I revel in when comparing the daily management of my curly hair when I decide to wear it in a natural style. Most of the time now I opt for a U-part wig. I leave two thirds of my hair cornrowed underneath and then the top section covers and blends in with the rest of the wig for a seamless look. When it comes to wigs and weaves, you can really experiment with length and colour without having to work without commitment too. Honestly, if you haven’t tried a protective style for your afro textured hair in summer, I urge you to you’ll love much time and worry it’ll free up, so you’ll ...

And the truth is that we’re not entirely sure why. The trend works across all hair types, it’s relatively low maintenance and most importantly, it’s seriously chic. Whether you want to give off fresh, just-showered vibes, make a bold power move or look like you’ve just stepped off the beach, the wet-hair look is calling out to be adopted. We can only assume that the main reason this trend has never hit the mainstream is because it looks hard to pull off—but that doesn’t mean that it is. In reality, the chicest wet-look hairstyles might just be the ultimate no-fuss way to disguise grease on the run-up to wash day, or perhaps they even give your hair a deep-conditioning treatment. A wet-hair look doesn’t have to mean liquidy, flowing lengths. “You ca...

You only have to open Instagram or TikTok to notice that one particular hair trend is totally taking off right now. Fluffy hair is making a major comeback, and we’re here for it. But what exactly is fluffy hair? Clueless‘s Alicia Silvertone is perhaps one of the most well-known poster girls for the trend, and we’re also looking back to ’90s supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer for their bouncy runway blowouts. It is characterised by lots of rounded layers, volume, flicked-under ends and lengths that have a springy bounce. The finish is less glossy than Hollywood waves yet more “done” than beach waves. Think more of a focus on texture and volume. And with influencers such as Matilda Djerf taking on the trend and ...

Up until a year or so ago, I didn’t realise that scalp health is actually so important for your overall hair health. When a trichologist told me that, I had an “aha” moment, which made me feel a little foolish. Of course, the state of your scalp affects how your hair grows. The hair grows out of the scalp, after all! So when it comes to the scalp, you want to make sure it’s free of buildup, able to produce its natural oils, balanced, and hydrated. Basically, you want your scalp to thrive so your hair can grow well. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Here at Who What Wear, we’re all for beauty products that make you feel something special when you’re using them. Whether it be a spenny lipstick or a rich, luxurious cleansing balm, we know and understand the power of a high-end beauty product. Having said that, we do also resent certain beauty brands’ frivolous approach to pricing. Some products simply aren’t worth the money, especially when there are plenty of great affordable alternatives out there. As a general rule (that of course is subject to caveats), we like to say that you don’t need to spend the big bucks on anything that gets rinsed down the drain—most notably wet haircare products. While we know that some of our favourite haircare brands, such as Olaplex, Kérastase, ...

Did we mention they’re great for distracting from greasy roots, too? Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best hair scarves to add to your hair accessory wardrobe.

So we reimagined what a dating should...
