There is no shortage of hair products that can help smooth frizz, add shine, or make hair look fuller. But not many can say they do all three—especially long-term. A popular in-salon hair treatment, however, may be the key to all of the above, and then some: hair Botox. Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve needles. Similar to the way wrinkle reducers like Xeomin or Botox Cosmetic smooth fine lines on the skin for a few months, hair Botox acts as a semipermanent deep conditioner, smoothing…
The question of how to get thicker hair is an all-too-common one for hairstylists. Upwards of 50 percent of women experience hair loss at some point in their lives, and that number has only increased in recent years: 22 percent of women reported dealing with hair loss after having COVID. Tackling hair loss is arguably the question most beauty experts hear most often—and there is no one right answer. From slapping on nourishing hair masks and scalp oils to popping hair-growth supplements and using thickening shampoos, most of us are willing…
You can’t move for commentary on Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde, RN. Starring Ana de Armas, the film is continuing to divide viewers and critics with its retelling of Marilyn Monroe‘s life, spanning everything from her marriages to her untimely death in 1962. And as one of the most iconic women of all time, interest in Marilyn Monroe’s beauty regime is hitting an all-time high with the launch of the film. We have had, and perhaps always will have, an insatiable obsession with the image…
We lather and layer our tresses in hopes for healthy locks, long or short. But the fact of the matter is, it all starts in the scalp, and not just that top skin layer (though that’s important). We have to stimulate the tissues in our scalp to bring oxygen and nutrient-rich blood flow to the surface, as well as break up stagnation to help us achieve healthy, fuller, longer hair. Sandra Chiu, L.Ac., M.S.T.C.M., is a Brooklyn-based acupuncturist, herbalist, and…
A new season has begun, so how about some changes of your look? Your hair maybe? If you like to experiment with your look, opt for bangs, and you will never regret it. We are sure that many women believe that having bangs is just a simple change of the hairstyle, but they are not aware of the impact they have after getting them. Bangs have become quite popular these past few years and we have a list of a…

Want a way to update your look for the new season? Meet the boyfriend bob, a cut that signals cool and chic in equal measure. “It is very, very simple,” Andreas Wild from London’s Larry King hair salon tells us of the minimal bob style that’s defined by a boxier shape and blunter ends. Kiki Koh from John Freida Salons agrees, citing its “low maintenance” as another plus. Celebrity stylist Tom Smith is coining it the ‘curtain cut’, thanks to the way…
Like getting ghosted or running into an ex at literally the worst time, hair breakage is an unfortunate thing that most of us will deal with at some point. And once a strand splits, it’s all over. There are some products that can help Band-Aid split ends, masking them temporarily, but they can’t be repaired. They must be snipped off. Which is why prevention is the name of the game here. Hair breakage is not the same as hair loss, fyi. It’s…
‘Scalp health’ is the beauty buzzword du jour for good reason; the length, lustre and health of your hair depends on the skin that covers your head. With stress and pollution levels consistently creeping up and up, it’s hardly surprising we’ve all got scalp issues on our mind. Research by Philip Kingsley indicates that 42 per cent of the UK population are conscious about a scalp issue, while Space NK reported a 196 per cent growth in its ‘scalp care’ category in…
Embracing your natural curls has never been so popular, but getting the best from your natural texture involves a little bit of groundwork. After all, naturally curly hair demands its own specific styling products, cuts and aftercare. From thick waves to bouncy curls and tight coils, there are so many different types of hair that are classified as ‘curly,’ but everyone’s individual hair pattern will vary, as we all have slightly different hair textures, hair growth and sensitivities, according to Errol…
