As someone with super dry, curly hair, I have to be careful about what I put on my hair. I have tried different products over the years. And I mean a lot. It was through this experience of trial and error that I realized for the first time which ingredients were not suitable for my hair type. Some of them made sense (like silicone drying), but others were a complete surprise. One such ingredient was coconut oil.I’ve read so many great articles about the benefits coconut oil has for hair, so I’m always on the lookout for products that contain…
Just like skin care, hair care is also very personal. As a beauty editor with coarse, thick, curly hair, I can honestly say that I’ve tried a lot of products that just didn’t work for my hair. But after finally finding the right products, my hair health changed for the better.

Not only does she have enviable leonine curls, she also has the zen spirit of someone who puts her hair through the ringer and comes out the other side with a full understanding of her natural texture. Her journey included bleaching her hair, having it straightened, and even having it all cut off at age 17, before she went to college. “It’s actually quite commonplace,” Gentry laughs.

After a few weeks of having a pimple-free butt, my painful pimples (literally) seem to *always* come back in full swing. It…
Frequently wearing hairstyles like braids or tight buns can put strain and stress on your hair follicles for long periods of time, which can lead to a type of permanent hair loss called traction alopecia. Several serious diseases also attack hair follicles, says Robert Brodel, a dermatologist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out in nickel- or quarter-sized patches. Bald spots may be visible on the scalp. “The body’s immune system is attacking the hair,” says Braudel. Alopecia areata tends to have no symptoms other than hair loss.…
This April is Stress Awareness Month in the United States, a moment on the calendar aimed at raising awareness of the pervasive and harmful nature of stress. We know that stress is an undeniable factor in most people’s lives, but its impact on so many aspects of our physical and mental health is probably greater than we realize. is also widespread. When it comes to our hair, stress is the second biggest cause of hair loss after genetics, but since this process usually takes three to six months to occur, many people don’t understand the connection.

And in 2024, haircuts that incorporate various trends into this classic style will become even more popular. From super short mini bob to bouncy baroque bob, it’s clear that this is one hairstyle that will remain mainstream for the rest of the year.

Curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz and breakage than straight hair, but there are good shampoos, conditioners, and styling sprays to moisturize, smooth, and protect your curls. To find the best products for kids with curly hair, we…
