Just like everyone else on the planet, we’re fascinated by Meghan Markle. Her life is endlessly interesting (marrying a prince will do that), but it’s her tried-and-true beauty wardrobe that piques our interest over and over again. Even now, as she’s transitioned from royal life to civilian living in California, Markle’s beauty looks have remained true to her minimalist approach to beauty. And of all the staple looks the former duchess continues to wear on repeat, easy updo hairstyles top the list. We know the word “updo” might make you think of stiff, overdone bridesmaid hair, but Markle’s take on the classic style is far from stuffy. Just like the rest of her beauty routine, she tends to keep it simple with elegant buns secured at the n...

It’s a natural temptation to cave into the allure of super-long length to frame our favorite looks. The one and only hitch? The ever-so-slightly important process of actually getting that ultra-long length. For many of us, growing out our strands can seem impossible—what with annoying factors like split ends, abuse from our favorite styling tools, scalp buildup, genetics, and basically anything else that poses a vendetta against all of our long hair goals. Luckily, however, there are some effective solutions to help remedy the situation. Getting regular trims and regularly treating your hair to some hard-earned TLC goes a long way, but sometimes some extra help from hair growth–promoting products and supplements can do the trick do. We’ve heard from countless readers and f...

Talking about the onset of deep winter can be fairly stressful when you’re still enjoying a few last chilly-but-sunny days and the lovely relishes that come with it: walks that be taken up until 4 p.m. We’ve been thinking about how the plunge into this slow and cold part of the season can affect our skincare routines, wardrobes and nail games, and hair colour can be adapted as we prepare to ring in the new year. (If you’re so inclined, of course.) ICYMI, we already published a pretty extensive guide to 2020 autumn hair colours, but we thought we’d round it out with an expert-led side serving of haircut, hairstyling, and hair accessory inspiration. Below, we’re recapping the colour trends we discussed earlier th...

The truth is, while it might seem as though our hair has been put through the wringer, for most of us, the situation isn’t as bad as we think. In fact, several hair stylists I have spoken to this year have been surprised to find out that a lot of their clients’ hair is healthier than ever before. Why? Because we’ve been giving our strands a serious break. Less heat styling, colour treatments and bleach application, as well as many of us turning to nourishing at-home masks and serums means that our hair is in a much stronger state than it was this time last year. And while we sadly didn’t get to live out our hair colour dreams this year, things are looking up for 2021. With the hope that we can get back in salon chairs on a regular basis again soon, our strands are finally ready for a ...

Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty earless with my tresses. That is until I got older. I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. Now, though, after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob. The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence in 2019. A far cry fro...

It doesn’t matter your curl pattern, density or face shape, whether loose waves or tight coils, short curly hair can work on everyone — but with a little effort. “A style that is short and curly is easy to style and manage, but it is one that requires maintenance,” says Daniele de Angelis, International Artistic Director of Toni Guy. The London Hairdresser of the Year 2020 explains how the short, curly cut can be achieved. “You should be sure to make regular visits to your hairdresser, especially if the length is above jaw level in order to keep its shape,” she explained to WhoWhatWear. “A short hairstyle can absolutely suit multiple curl textures,” she adds, “but your stylist must adopt the correct cutting technique for the required tex...

From Suicide Squad to Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie is considered a chameleon actor in Hollywood. Off-screen, it’s hard to ignore that the Australian beauty has also nailed her makeup and hair looks over the years, providing some serious hair-inspiration. From plaits to grown-out roots, Margot Robbie’s blonde tresses are a constant feature on our hair mood boards (There was even the lesser documented brunette stint, but she’s been blonde ever-since.) Of course, Margot can’t get all the credit for her stunning hair moments. Her talented glam team, including Chanel makeup artist Pati Dubroff and hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, has created a series of memorable moments for red carpets to press events. Some of the hairstyles seem low-maintenance for us to try...

Getting a fringe cut in 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 fringes is how beautifully 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. Ahead, find your next hairstyle, along ...

Last year’s top trending hairstyles were as functional as they were chic. From low ponytails to centre partings and Carrie Bradshaw hair, last year was all about understated styles with an emphasis on natural texture and hair health (which we love). As for hair colour, we saw a juxtaposition of warm and cool-toned shades. Golden honey shades were trending, as were icy platinum variations. Fiery red was seen alongside cool ash blonde. It was a year of hair colour contradiction. So, when 2020 rolled around, we couldn’t help but ask where that left us for the rest of the year? We decided to go right to the source to find out, asking top celebrity hairstylists, and we must say, we were surprised by their answers. We’re guessing you will be, too. ...

Hairstyles often fall into the two categories of long and short. As if everyone is either rocking 26″ of hair or has a pixie cut. When it’s actually the medium length hairstyles that are the most applicable for people.  Whether your medium length hair is intentional or unintentional, one thing’s for sure; you get the best of both worlds. You can style it pretty much any way from natural curls to wavy to straight, plus, we all know the struggle of not being able to throw our hair up and out of our face when we’ve gone a bit too short. The biggest pro? Medium hair comes with a whole lot of hairstyle inspiration. So, if you’ve been styling your hair in exactly the same way and finding yourself in a bit of a rut, here are some pictures you could tak...

Here’s an all too familiar scene: you’re stood staring for far too long in front of a mirror questioning whether today is the day you finally hack your hair into a bob. We’ve all been there, right? By the looks of things, there’s no better time than now—as many hair salons are preparing to re-open and hairstylists have told us that this year they have seen an increased demand for shorter, choppier chops. While the popular long bob (“lob”) has dominated over the past few years, a bob-and-bangs pairing elevates the shape one step further. The fashionable cut teeters on the line between edgy and classic, and seems to suit so many face shapes. Whether you opt for a blunt cut or a more textured style, full fringe or sweeping side parting, there are many ways to pull off this cut....
