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.

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.

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.
Hopping into the shower and washing your hair feels like second nature at this point. But it's totally possible you've picked up a few bad habits along the way that are working against your good hair days. Like overdoing it with keratin products or going ham with sudsing.

Air-drying might just be the new blowdry this summer. Whether you just took a dip in the pool, are trying to keep cool or just can't be bothered with a blowdryer after your shower, you can still rock glorious locks. We reached out to three hairstylists for their best tips on air-drying like a pro.
If you have curly hair, you know that the styling products you use can make or break your mane. Curl cream is one of the best options for defining curls and giving them their signature bounce. But what works for someone with loose waves may not be the right match for someone with tight coils. So before you buy curl cream you need to consider your curl type and pattern.
Grab a comb, some hair gel (you'll need a good amount) and the boldest hair accessories in your arsenal because Fashion Month Fall 2021 provided plenty of hair inspiration.

Some things become trends because they're totally new and captivating. Other things become trends based on sheer hype. Yet, it's not often something becomes a trend because it's practical. But in these unprecedented times, sensibleness and limited resources (no regular hair appointments) are just the things to make grown-out bangs a trend. Holly Dear, founder of Dear Clark and House of Dear (coming late February 2021), says that grown-out bangs are the natural progression of quarantine and people going months without a haircut. With salons closing in 2020, people were left with the option of cutting their own hair or letting layers grow. A few wonky fringes were enough for many people to embrace longer, grown-out bangs and make them a proper trend that is continuing into this year.
