A friend of mine who has fine, straight hair always jokes that she only has "five hairs" and that if she used any hair oil she would look like she had gone swimming in it. As someone with thick, curly hair, I couldn't relate — even though I figured she was probably right.
You probably put a decent chunk of energy into washing, conditioning, and styling your hair, but going the extra mile to spritz or slather on a finishing product can make a noticeable difference and even give you more control over the end result. Consider such products the icing on your coiffure cake. From glossy serums to texturizing putties to non-salty beach sprays (gasp!) to even a hairline contour (yup, that's a thing), we had three celebrity hairstylists share all their favorite products.
Curly hair can be something of a challenge to keep up with. And yes, there's a whole host of hair products out there to help you, but how do you know which ones are best? And if you're just starting out on your natural hair journey, then how do you know which tools to use?
Is there any time like spring to make a big hair change? With the weather warming up, it's the perfect opportunity to try out that pixie cut you were dreaming of all winter, or for taking those curtain bangs you've been coveting out for a spin. Besides, 2019 has ushered in so many cute hairstyles (and we're dying to try them all.)
While air drying your hair is technically something you can do no matter the time of year, it tends to be more the norm in the summer months. That's partly because bitter cold temperatures can literally leave you with a mess of frozen icicle hair if you don't blow dry before stepping outside, but it's also because we spend more time in the pool or at the beach (aka when toting a blow dryer around just isn't going to work). Also, sometimes it's just easier to let your hair slowly dry after showering without enlisting your army of heat styling tools.
If you're on the prowl for a shiny new shampoo and conditioner duo then now is the perfect time to shop, since seasonal changes usually mean new launches from brands. Whether you've got thick and curly tendrils, are trying to preserve your color (that was hella expensive), are dealing with an oily scalp, or want to boost volume, there's something for everyone to use in this roundup.
As temperatures heat up, we can look forward to hours of fun in the sun. But if your spring and summer plans involve music festivals, trips to the pool or sunny beach vacations, you may be overexposing your strands to the sun's potent rays.
April marks the start of spring... and with it comes rain, rain, rain. That means one thing for your hair: frizz. Your mane doesn't have to suffer this rainy season, though. There are plenty of great hair products out there — from serums to oils to leave-in conditioners — that help control frizz so you can show off smooth, shiny hair all spring long. Here are our favorite hair products to protect your mane from spring showers.
Most of us fall into one of two camps: "When is this hair bow trend going to die already?" and "AHHH! Bows!" (We happen to fall into the latter category, in case that wasn't already clear). And you know what? We're not the only ones. If recent red carpets are any indication, hair ribbons are here to stay.
Okay girls, here's what we want: That flawelssly flawed hair, with lived-in volume, texture and perfect waves. The kind that makes you look like a carefree Parisian woman who didn't even try (or, you know, like Serena van der Woodsen). Also, it has to be touchably soft. And shiny. And oh-so chic.
We're officially about a quarter of the way into 2019... and there have already been so many great new hair trends cropping up, from all of the blunt bobs we've been seeing on the red carpet, to the recent popularization of curly bangs.
Curly hair can often be a bit more difficult to handle and, up until the boom of the natural hair movement a few years ago, it was difficult to find information about how to care for naturally curly hair (and how to keep those curls poppin').
Every once in a while it's necessary to treat yourself, whether it's indulging in the chocolate-encrusted doughnut you cut out of your diet months ago or spending a luxurious day at the spa. Yet when we pamper ourselves, a hair treatment isn't always top of mind. We often forget about our poor hair, which we subject to heat styling, hair dye and other chemical-laden products.
Sometimes you just don't have time to shower and blow dry your hair after hitting the gym... but that doesn't mean you have to rock a sweaty, frizzy ponytail for the rest of the day after your workout. That's where hair wipes come in: They're here to rescue your hair after you kill it at your next boxing or indoor cycling class (and even if you're not gym-inclined, they're so handy for on the go). Here are our favorite dry shampoo and frizz-fighting wipes to stash in your gym bag.
It's officially time to retire your daily unstyled, hair down "I'm in a rush" look this spring: Life's too short not to play with your hair... especially with all the amazing hairstyles that hit the spring 2019 runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris during fashion month. Read on to see all our favorite runway-approved hairstyles — and find out how to copy the looks at home.
Raise your hand if you've ever experienced sad, lifeless hair. Now, raise your other hand if you've ever tried to fight said limp hair with volumizers that promise full, sexy hair, only to end up with a sticky, goopy mess. OK, you can put your hands down now.
Hair accessories have never been more old-school than right now. Our favorite grade-school styles are back—think barrettes, flip clips, claw clips, scrunchies, headbands—but upgraded in a way that appeals to our adult selves. This season, headbands are supersized and just a tad more sophisticated. They were all over the spring runways and are already being sported by the street style set.
The perils of greasy hair are not to be underestimated. It's beyond frustrating to step out of the shower, blow-dry your hair and then feel that familiar slick setting in within a day. Not only is oily hair unattractive, but it can be physically uncomfortable, too. If this sounds like a familiar struggle, you're in the right place. We talked to a hairstylist and scalp dermatologist to find out exactly why our scalp and hair is so oily all the dang time—plus, what we can do to remedy it (and finally retire the baseball hats!).
