The thing that I love most about beauty is its versatility—a colourful eye shadow that sparks joy, that transformative feeling of stepping out of a hair salon with a fresh haircut, the products we seek out when in need of comfort. But alongside the transcendental, beauty’s other role is that of a problem-solver: offering practical solutions to a whole host of universal concerns. From hair-thickening solutions to spot-soothing ingredients, beauty products can tackle a multitude of worries with ease. And while I wholeheartedly believe that we should all love the skin we’re in—no improvements necessary—I’d be dishonest in saying there aren’t days when I look to certain products to bolster my confidence and help me ...

Generally speaking, I find that when I straighten my coils, my hair tends to lack shine and movement and, traditionally, hair masks that are formulated for damaged hair can leave my hair feeling coated and heavy. So even if I love the brand, I always have a little bit of trepidation on first use. This mask, however, is different. Let’s talk about the bottle: It’s small. Honestly, I was sceptical that you’d get your monies worth this, especially as I’m used to masks that come in big pots where you’re able to scoop out lots and saturate your hair from root to tip. But I was pleased to find you only really need to use two pumps if you have shoulder-length hair like me (although I added an extra one, as I have a thick mane). If you hav...

When the temperature soars, your hair is usually the last thing you want to think about. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve planned out the perfect summer outfit from head to toe only to get so hot and bothered that there was simply no other option but to throw my hair up into a messy bun and call it a day. And don’t even get me started on humidity. It’s the nemesis of chic summer hairstyles and can ruin the sleekest of looks in minutes, especially for those of us with textured hair. However, with a little experimentation and a lot of research, I’ve found that there are a few low-maintenance hairstyles that look good, scream “summer-ready” and are beyond easy to re-create at home.

From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole. To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.

When it comes to hair, there’s no one size fits all approach to caring for it. Curly hair will require different products to fine strands and you might need more tools at your disposal to style a blunt bob than you would for a low-maintenance shag style. However, there are a couple of things that seem to be universal when it comes to haircare—we all want to keep it feeling healthy, looking full and generally sticking around for as long as possible. In fact, searches around hair loss and how to get thicker hair are at an all-time high right now with all of us keen to get our strands in tip-top condition as we head back into salon for those all-important post-lockdown haircuts.

I have a confession to make: I was so overjoyed when hair salons reopened last month that I hastily booked an appointment and merrily made my along to the salon chair where I requested that the hairdresser chop it all off without much though about whether that’s what I really wanted. Nevertheless, I’m now sporting a one-length bob that falls just past my chin and trying not to spend too much time scrolling through images of people with lovely long locks. Because I’ll be totally honest, long hair is looking really good to me right now. I’m not alone either. I recently caught up with a few hairstylists to find out what the most popular post-lockdown haircuts have been and it turns out that a lot of their clie...

Getting a fringe is a rite of passage in so many people’s lives, whether it’s done on a whim or after months of decision-making. Choosing your style is a big part of that journey, so a little bit of research never hurts. One of the benefits of a fringe is how well they frame your face, so it’s especially helpful to know what shape your face is. So, first things first: Identify your face shape (it’s easier than it sounds, promise).  Now you’re ready for step two: choosing your look. We turned to Moroccanoil Celebrity Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett—a.k.a. the man Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson and pretty much every other A-lister trusts with their gorgeous hair—to help break down which fringe is best for each shape.

It comes as no surprise really that after a year of coming in and out of lockdowns, we all seem to be suffering from a little hair fatigue. Whether it’s from staring at yourself in zoom meetings for too long or having outgrown your usual cut not being able to get to the salon, a lot of us are now considering a change of style for when we finally get that prized hair appointment.  We’re here to help you find some inspiration, and where better to start than the bob? If you haven’t already succumbed to this shorter style in the last few years, you’re a stronger woman than we are— before the lockdown, at least half of the Who What Wear UK team had gone for the snip. Long bobs and blunt bobs have all had their moments but the most recent cool-girl hair trend? The French...

There’s a hair trend happening on Instagram. Wait, I should be more specific… There are five hair trends happening on Instagram. Everyone, from the most fashion-forward celebrities to influencers and editors, seems to be wearing the same five hairstyles. (It’s almost as if they held some sort of secret meeting about it.) I’m not mad. How could I be? The five hairstyles in question are chic and low maintenance, which just so happens to be my favourite combination.  They’re also very ’90s-inspired. That doesn’t surprise me—not in the slightest. After all, the fashion and beauty industries are experiencing a full-blown ’90s renaissance right now. I mean, we already brought ’90s clothing items back (slip dresses, shoulder...

Imagine waking up and knowing that no matter what the day throws at you, your hair will look great. It’s the kind of dream that I have on a regular basis, so whenever I have the opportunity to quiz hair experts on creating flawless looks, I always make an abundance of notes. I want to know everything, including what products they keep in their kits, how to keep hair smooth, and how to give curls and coils more definition or hold. So when I got the chance to chat with industry-renowned hair artist Vernon François about all things hair, I jumped at it.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

According to Townsend, regular cuts—even if it’s just a dusting—are essential for helping your hair to look and feel as thick as possible. “There’s no saving a truly split end,” he says point-blank. “Yes, there are products that can mask runs and fish hooks, but you really have to snip them off to get rid of them for good. And the longer you wait, the more hair you’ll have to part with down the road.” Trimming off those ends isn’t something you have to do every three to four weeks, however, just heed Townsend’s advice and book an appointment every eight to 12 weeks or so.  Up next, 9 hairstyles people are actually asking for in salons right now.
