Sure, you love your cold and hot matcha drinks, but did you know that you can reap its beauty benefits, too? Well, there are plenty of said benefits, and beauty companies are not walking away from this superfood ingredient any time soon. And good for them (and us, tbh)!
Shampoo provides a refreshing aroma in the shower. But even the most potent don't linger all day. Similarly, a liberal coating of a scented dry shampoo won't produce a long-lasting fragrance. It's tempting to add a squirt of perfume to hair, but the high concentration of alcohol in most formulas can really dry out tresses. And no one wants to sacrifice hydrated, healthy hair for scent, no matter how intoxicating. The solution? Why hair perfumes, of course.
With the fall well in the air, many of us feel like cozying up inside more. 'Tis the season of hugs, after all, and we kind of want our body lotions, serums and creams to feel like they've given us a hug. In other words, to have our beauty routine feel more like a spa ritual at home than a strict regimen, especially after careful summer skincare.
Ana de Armas - swoon, right? Aside from her incredible work and talent, there are so many things that stand out about her, like her chicness and beauty, to name just the two most obvious. Due to the movie "Blonde", where she gave an exceptional performance, her name has the internet buzzing (more than usual), revealing to us some interesting makeup trivia - for instance, that it used to take 2.5 hours to do her hair and makeup in order to transform her into Marilyn.
Making the decision to go short is a big deal. Not to mention a major commitment. (Just think of all the salon trips you'll have to make to keep your new style from growing out.) There's never been a better time to rock pixies, bowl cuts and the like, however. Why? Because there are lots of great short hair care products out there.
Bleach, dye, heat styling and the environment can all do a number on your strands. We're talking parched tresses, dullness, breakage and none of that healthy bounce you see in all those hair commercials. There's a little secret that'll help counteract all that damage. Bond-building hair care products.
Soaking up the sun is essential in summer. But days spent at the beach or the pool can really do a number on your hair. After taking a dip, chances are you'll be left with quite a few knots and maybe even some frizz and dryness to boot.
Tending to your hair is a year-round job, but things can start to get a little iffy come summer. Not only is your hair exposed to way more sunshine given the longer hours and more time spent enjoying good weather. There are also variables like chlorine and salt water to contend with.
Shampoo bars are having a major moment right now. For good reason. First and foremost, the bars are extremely eco-friendly. They eliminate the need for plastic packaging, take less water to produce and can last longer than a traditional bottle of shampoo. Another big benefit? Shampoo bars are travel-friendly. They easily fit into carry-ons and suitcases and you never have to worry about spills.
Whether in person or online, shopping for hair care products can be overwhelming. Often what works for one person won't work for another. But that isn't always the case. In fact, during the hot and sweaty months of summer most of us want to keep it light and fresh by cutting down on products as much as possible. That still begs the question: Which ones are worth adding to our carts?
If you have wavy hair, you know it can sometimes be temperamental. It's often prone to frizz and heavy styling products can weigh your waves down. Luckily, there are products out there that will help you enhance your natural waves without making your hair feel greasy or stiff.
We often consider our hairstylists close confidants. But are there things they aren't telling us? Yes! While some tips might be easier to share, like how to best shampoo locks, others are a bit more sensitive. Like when a client has Shirley Temple hair and can't understand why she's not able to transition to Gwyneth Paltrow straight strands with ease.
Can you imagine how much more we could accomplish if we didn't spend so much time brushing and styling our hair? While that may sound easier said than done, when it comes down to it a great haircut and a few key products can set you up to be ready in no time.
The glass hair trend was huge a few years ago and for good reason. After all, who doesn't want their locks to look sleek and shiny? The trend was all about pairing a sharp, angular bob with a glossy finish and there were no flyaways in sight. It was the ultimate high-maintenance hairstyle.
When it comes to hair tools, the curling iron really reigns supreme. You can use it to create loose, beachy waves or voluminous, bouncy curls or old-school Hollywood glam hairdos. Of course, not all curling irons are created equal. In fact, some can even be tricky to use. Luckily, we're here to help.
Winter does have some redeeming qualities. After all, who doesn't love wrapping their hands around a steaming mug of hot chocolate? Or building then inhaling a gingerbread house?
Whether you've got subtle waves or tight ringlets, finding the right hair care products that bring your texture to life can be a real struggle. The key is to narrow your search to products specifically formulated for curly hair. It can make all the difference between shiny, glossy tendrils and a frizzy disaster.
We've all been told to keep heat styling to a minimum to avoid damaging our hair. "The heat from hot tools compromises the protective layer of the hair follicle, which can damage strands making them weak and prone to breakage," says celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger. "Hot tools also tend to strip hair of natural oils, which is why overly processed hair can appear dry and fried."
As someone with thick, coarse, curly locks, I've always found it difficult to manage my hair at home. But I'm obsessed with how shiny and bouncy my hair looks after a professional blowout. That's why I would hit up my local blowdry bar almost weekly. Until the pandemic that is.
Imagine a world where you don't have to untangle that ridiculously long cord attached to your curling iron or flatiron. A world where hot tools live peacefully in your carryon or even in your purse. A world where you can touch up your look on the go. Or even, dare we say, while camping.
