The industry has come a long way, and now there is a plethora of chic and effective silk hair wraps to keep your hair healthy. If you’re not aware of the benefits of wearing a silky hair wrap, here’s the lowdown: Silk reduces friction and therefore prevents excess damage and fragility. The texture also helps prevent frizz. Plus, cotton is known to draw moisture out of the hair and scalp, whereas silk is less likely to do this. If you are looking for a vegan alternative, satin hair wraps are just as protective and some say even better for your hair than silk. This is because silk is still a natural fibre, like cotton, and therefore can still pull some moisture from your strands, whereas satin can be woven with purely man-made fibres.  Take a look a look at our top picks below.

We know how it is, you’ve already taken hours washing and conditioning your hair. Perhaps you even sprung for a pre-wash treatment like a hot oil or maybe the Olaplex No. 3, your hair is in tip top condition and has already got ample product in it, does it really need another one applied before you heat style?  The short answer is yes. Using a heat protector single-handedly keeps hair safe under the soaring temperatures of your hairdryers, straighteners, curlers and wands. The amount of my friends that admit that they’ll often go in on their strands without any heat protection is baffling to me. It’s futile putting all that effort into keeping your hair healthy with conditioners and treatments and then using 180c degree heat on it without a shield. It’s like taking a dish ou...

One of the most important parts of my job as a beauty editor is to work out which topics will resonate most with our readers and to find the answers to the questions that people are searching for most at any given moment. And while those areas of interest definitely fluctuate, depending on what season we’re in or which beauty products are currently going viral on TikTok, there’s one beauty concern that seems to be pretty universal amongst Who What Wear readers—how to get thicker-looking hair. Yes, from the best hair colours for thin hair to the hairstyles that give your hair more volume, it appears that bulking up the appearance of thin hair is top of many of our hair wish lists for 2021.  I’v...

It’s an odd thing to say, we know, given that there are so many cult beauty buys out there, but really, it takes quite a lot for a beauty launch to hit the big time. With hundreds, if not thousands, of new products hitting the virtual shelves every year, it’s tough for one single product to make a name for itself. Although it might seem as though beauty insiders are recommending every new product that comes their way, trust us when we say that cementing a place in the beauty product Hall of Fame is no mean feat. Having said that, there is one particular product that has managed to make quite the impression on beauty buffs in recent years. In fact, it’s made an impression on just about everyone—so much so that when we rounded up the best-selling products of la...

Here’s the thing about medium-length hair—it’s incredibly versatile. It’s not too short and it’s not too long, which means you get the best of both worlds as far as styling is concerned. Do you want to straighten your hair into a sleek, centre-parted lob? Great. How about showing off your natural texture in a curly topknot? Or, do you want to replicate the wet-look hairstyle that celebrities like J.Lo and Kim Kardashian have made famous? With medium-length hair, you have all of these options and more (many more). The best part is that you don’t have to be a professional hairstylist to achieve A-list results. There are countless examples of medium-length hairstyles that are both easy and flattering (trust us, those two things ...

While I delight in taking my time with a good skincare routine at the end of a long day, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I consider dealing with my hair an altogether more boring chore. From washing it to styling it, I’ll do everything in my power to reduce the amount of time that I spend on my strands each day to the bare minimum. (Hence my intense love of dry shampoo for extending the number of days I can go between washes.) Similarly, whether it’s getting ready for work or meeting friends at the weekend, I’m only interested in the quickest and easiest hairstyles for my hair. Sure, fancy up-dos might look cool, but I just don’t have have the patience for an updo that requires a YouTube tutorial and another pair of hands to re-create it at home. Luc...

Even when we love our latest haircut, style, length—or all of the above—there can still be moments when we hit a creative hair plateau. What I’ve found is that pulling my hair up, back, or simply accessorizing can revive the love of my natural curls. Of course, hair reinvention will look different for each of us depending on our style ideology, hair length, and face shape. But, a new style is just an accessory or shape away. To help you find some inspiration, I’ve rounded up a few of the chicest yet easy styles for long hair. From low ponytails to curly topknots, there is a style here that I hope will spark your very own hair aha moment. So keep scrolling for 30 easy-breezy hairstyles for long hair you can style in minutes. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for ...

Some call it low-maintenance, others might say lazy, but when it comes to my hair I am unashamedly laidback when it comes to styling it. Over-the-top up-dos and fancy plaits not only aren’t my thing, but I’ve never mastered them even if I was inclined to try. However, there’s something about the arrival of autumn that has me wanting to step outside my comfort zone and embrace something a little more adventurous when it comes to my daily hair styling. But I’m also incredibly realistic about the amount of time and effort I’m willing to spend on cajoling my hair into any kind of autumn hairstyle in the morning. We’re all busy people and, honestly, who has more than 10 minutes to dedicate to their strands on a normal day? So, when it came to seeking out autu...

Ever since I became aware of my hair back in high school when I finally retired my beloved slick ponytail, I’ve lamented my fine, thin locks. And after becoming a beauty editor, it’s become my mission to find out which haircuts are best for feigning the look of fuller, thicker hair. Here’s what I’ve learned: it’s all about the optical illusions your stylist creates in addition to how you care for and maintain your cut at home. Ted Gibson is one of the most well-renowned hair stylists in the industry—which is no surprise when his client list reads like a who’s who of celebrity royalty. From Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong’o to Anne Hathaway and Gabrielle Union, Gibson has tended to the tresses of some of the biggest names in the busin...

While most of us are still desperately clinging to the final weeks of summer, industry experts have their sights firmly set on the season ahead as they make their predictions for the biggest autumn trends in the worlds of beauty and fashion. And with so many trending hairstyles emerging in 2021 already, I was particularly keen to find out what’s in store for our strands as we head into autumn.  “In summer, we all love to experiment with our hair, trying out different styles from braids to beachy waves and opting for shorter haircuts that are less maintenance,” says Callum Standen-May, creative stylist at Bond Shoreditch. “However, in autumn, some of us can find it difficult to find the right hairstyle or cut that wil...
