So why GHD? “They offer a collection of four barrel sizes, depending on the kind of blow-dry you are hoping to achieve,” says Eaton. “The largest barrel, size 4, is great for perfecting a big bouncy blow-dry at home, and size 2 is perfectly sized for adding volume at the root on shorter hairstyles.” So you can kind of curate the set you need for you hair length and the style you want. One tip I do have is to make sure you always detangle your hair before your start. As stylists say, you need to do the foundation work first. For all hair types, this means combing through knots and tangles, but if you have curly or Afro-textured hair like I do, you’ll need to detangle and use a paddle brush to straighten first before then using these brushes to smooth and give the hair bounce. You won’t reap...

Recently, I noticed a hairstyle taking over among celebs and fashion insiders: the middle-part bun. Once I started seeing it, I couldn’t unsee it and realized just how ubiquitous it was. Looking for a new way to wear my hair, I was interested in testing it out myself and picked up some tips when I stumbled upon a viral TikTok about the exact products celebrity hairstylist Irinel de León uses to pull off the look when working with Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner. In the video, I learned that de León parts the hair in the middle and ties it into a ponytail in the center of the head before securing the hair into a twisted bun. She then applies a wax stick to combat flyaways and achieve a slicked-back look and uses a boar-bristle brush to smooth the hair. While ...

You might be wondering what the summer 2022 hair trends might be, but hairstylists and hair colourists alike have sensed a shift in how we feel about hair. “For summer 2022, I think we are going to see a real mix of styles, with people thinking less about trends and more about what they feel is right for them and in turn, making style choices that suit their personality,” says hairdresser Max Andrea at Claxton Hair, Crawshawbooth.

“Hair accessories, especially for summer, like jewelled clips are a great “cheat” as the fringe gets longer, hiding what was once an old fringe and adding instant glamour to the overall style,” says Andrew. It might be called a ‘cheat’ but surely this is one of the most stylish ways to disguise a long fringe? As Andrew notes, hair grows about 1.5 cm on average per month so if you’re planning on getting a fringe trim this is a good in-between option too.

It’s important to note here that even if you’re lucky enough to have never experienced dandruff or irritation, scalp health is well worth taking notice of. Experts agree that having a clean, healthy scalp is key to promoting cell turnover and optimising hair growth—particularly useful if you’re dealing with hair loss or thinning strands. By exfoliating your scalp specifically, you remove any potential follicle-clogging skin cells and boost blood flow to your head, so both your strands and scalp should be healthier than before. It’s a win-win. Ahead, keep scrolling for the best scalp hair treatments to nourish dryness, soothe itchiness, banish flakiness and generally get your head feeling a whole lot healthier than it did befor...

“Copper is the perfect trend for spring and summer as it has the warmth and shine of a red shade, but it is lighter and more delicate against the skin,” says Siobhan Haug, International Colour Director at TONI&GUY. “So, it makes it the ideal choice for this time of year when your make-up, clothes and hair all want an injection of summer sunshine.” If you’re worried about whether copper will suit your skin tone, you’re in luck, there’s a copper intensity for everybody. “The great thing about coppers is that you can add a little extra warmth or coolness to reflect every skin tone,” notes Siobhan, “there’s a whole spectrum to choose from, there isn’t only one shade of copper – think copper brown, rustic copper, lighter auburn or peach.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you a...

“Medium length haircuts with layers are the ultimate failsafe look,” says Jemma Mewies, salon co-owner at Mewies & Co.“It’s perfect because it’s never too drastic, therefore if you’ve had long hair for a long time but perhaps get some anxiety around having your hair cut, it’s such an easy transition. Alternatively, if you’re growing out your shorter hair, medium length is normally an achievable length to reach,” she adds. A mid-length cut is also flattering for all face shapes and still gives you the versatility to style your hair in several ways, explains Jemma. “Medium length hair is perfect for having for updos as well as wearing it down, without being too long, too heavy or too short to put up,” she says. Low maintenance haircuts? We’re here for it...

Have you ever noticed how hair trends come about? It’s a lot like fashion. They often start on the runways on the likes of the Bella Hadids and Kendall Jenners of the world. And it’s not long before said hairstyles make their rounds within the fashion set. Soon after the fashion set adopts them, those same looks flood your Instagram feed like a tidal wave. Then, like clockwork, one such hairstyle eventually makes an appearance on your own mane. Since we’re well into spring by now, we’ve already taken note of the most prominent looks primed to be the next hairstyles you can’t get off your mind—or your social media feed. And lucky for you, we’re putting you in a position to take on the coolest short-hair trends before everyone adds them to their Pinte...

The Olaplex product that I tend to use the most is No.6, the Bond Smoother. I use it as a heat-styling primer, applying a small amount to the lengths of my hair, and always see a dramatic improvement in smoothness and frizz control. So when I saw that the brand was launching a serum, I was a little confused. What was the product that I had been using for years, then? I decided to try the new serum, No.9, in a silo without any other Olaplex products so I could see how it performs and if it can compete with the other styling products in the range. It’s described as a lightweight serum that not only strengthens hair but also protects it from free radicals, pollution and heat damage too. The first thing to note is the texture. It’s a clear lightweight gel that sinks into the hair quickly....

So what haircut should we book in for during out next salon visit? Well, most experts we have spoken to advise that 2022 could be time to embrace a hair change. However, unlike big hair trends of yesteryear (blunt bob, we’re looking at you), the It style for 2022 is set to be a whole lot easier to deal with. At a time when we’re all looking for a hairstyle that’s fuss-free, easy to manage, and versatile, it’s no surprise that the iconic ’70s shag is making a comeback. Revlon Professional global artistic ambassador Mark Leeson says, “The shag is the ultimate undone statement haircut. It’s choppy and full of texture and makes for a refreshing change to long, one-length hair. On a daily basis, you don’t need to do much to a well-cut shag style, as the texture and shape are alr...

Celebrity beauty brands are not my thing. I’m somewhat of a product snob, and I go into the testing process of any celebrity-backed beauty brand with a hearty serving of cynicism. My reasoning behind this is, despite the fact some of my favourite stylish celebrities make for great beauty inspiration, when it comes to products, I know they’re no experts. In reality, it’s the countless people responsible for their makeup and hair looks that really hold the secrets.  The one area of beauty that I will almost always turn to expert advice on is haircare. The reason for this, I’ll admit, it mostly selfish. You see, I have never been able to style my own hair in a way that oozes effortless glamour. I always leave the salon feeling as though having an expert on hand every day (...

It’s perhaps unsurprising that the hair accessory has made such a big comeback. They look good on every hair texture and are a saving grace for when your hair just isn’t behaving as it should, or if you’re pushing your hair wash day back. We’ve even spotted people applying a hair mask and twisting their hair up with a claw clip while it sinks in – chic and practical.  There are so many claw clip hairstyles to try – why not take a look below for some claw clip inspiration?
