My curly hair hasn’t gotten the love and attention it deserves from me over the years. Until recently, I had never even tried drying a Type 4 coil to its natural springy shape. I committed to blow drying and ironing my hair every week like clockwork. Now, there’s nothing wrong with straightening your hair, but I’ve always thought that my hair texture was too wild, unwieldy, and dare I say, unattractive to thrive in its natural state. I started to realize that I was only doing this because I was doing it. (Don’t worry, I’m dedicated to getting rid of…
Over the past 20 years, hair loss treatments have not made much progress. But several biotech companies are hard at work on the case, tantalizingly close to the breakthrough many patients are hoping for. As body dysmorphia is amplified by our ubiquitous digital world, psychiatrists are increasingly linking the onset of male- and female-pattern baldness to mental health conditions ranging from anxiety to depression.Closing the gap in preventive carePreventive treatments are lacking. Until recently, the only drugs approved by regulators were minoxidil and Propecia, both of which were only marginally effective at stopping hair loss, and the former being the…
“Underlying nutritional deficiencies and certain genetic predispositions may also contribute to the development of tinea nodosa,” says Dr. Mitchell. According to the NLM, these include anemia (iron deficiency), hypothyroidism (meaning the body doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone on its own), and trichodystrophy (a genetic disorder that causes brittle hair and skin problems). Included.However, styling that uses intense heat or harsh chemicals on the scalp and hair, such as using a curling iron or curling iron, frequent perms, chemical straightening, or relaxing treatments, can damage the hair follicles. This can cause damage and, in the worst case, permanent hair loss.What you’ll…
Kitsch is an LA-based, female-owned, self-funded small business founded in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. I own this beautiful one with this pattern, polka dots, and tropical leaf print.

This is good news for people like me who work from home and put off showering and blow-drying my hair for as long as possible during my lunch break.

Q: Every time I get out of the shower, I’m shocked at how much hair I lose. Is this normal or should I be concerned? A: You are not alone. I don’t know a woman (myself included) who hasn’t thought about exactly this after taking a shower at some point in her life. Some of us keep it on the shower wall to remove loose hair at the end. Others roll it up in their hands and flush it down the drain (ultimately just clogging the pipe). But the common denominator here is that they’re losing their hair and are…
Curls come in all shapes and sizes. Some curls are cascading and loose, while others are tight and bouncy. Curly hair ranges from loose 3A curls to tight 4C curls, and each requires its own routine. No matter what type of curl you have, the curl pattern is determined by the slope of the follicle bulb; the greater the slope, the smaller and more compact the curls will be. When it comes to caring for curly hair, celebrity hairstylist Larry Sims says that type 3 hair curls form curls that resemble the letter “S,” while type 4 curls resemble a…
Have you ever gotten major curl envy scrolling through TikTok? Because same. All the curly girls with well-defined, shiny natural ringlets and coils have one specific thing in common: They all use the Curly Girl Method (CGM) to train their natural pattern. And the thing is they make it look so easy. I’m gonna be real with all of you—even though CGM is the best thing I’ve ever done for my curly hair, it is also the most confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming thing I’ve ever tried. All of the articles and tutorials I’ve come across for the CGM aren’t straightforward…
I first heard about the Curly Girl Method years ago, but never thought it would be an option for my medium wavy hair. Even calling my hair wavy always felt a little generous. No matter what waves my hair has, it’s almost always overshadowed by unsightly frizz, dry texture, and downright unmanageability. It definitely wasn’t curly. What I didn’t realize was that to the Curly Girl community, my hair woes simply meant possibilities. My friend Susannah has been practicing the Curly Girl Method (the curly hair maintenance routine from Lorraine Massey’s Curly Girl: A Handbook) for three years and introduced…
I don’t remember the first time I cried about my curly hair as a child, or the first time I was teased for liking soccer in elementary school.But I can pinpoint the exact moment I heard Taylor Swift on the radio for the first time.When I was 9 years old, I heard my first guitar strings on the radio when I came home from Hebrew school on an NFL Sunday in the early fall. By the time the chorus of her debut single “Tim McGraw” hit, I was silent, and by the time I reached the bridge I was in…
