Nobody likes having a bad hair day. But on those days that we have less than stellar strands, most of us can easily reach for that handy hat and call it a day -- except, of course, if that day just so happens to be your wedding day.
Once you've finally found The One (as in, the perfect wedding dress), it's time to think about the details: the makeup you'll wear, the shoes you'll walk down the aisle in and, of course, how your hair will be styled. But when choosing a wedding day hairstyle, many brides neglect the one thing that can take their look to the next level: a hair accessory. The right hair accessory will complement your unique aesthetic, without overwhelming or competing with the rest of your look. From statement making flower crowns to simple bejeweled clips, there's inspiration here for every type of bride.
Choosing a bridal beauty look is without a doubt one of the most stressful decisions a gal will ever face. Not only do you want to look effortlessly stunning on the day you say 'I do,' but you'll undoubtedly pose for more photos than you ever have in your entire life. No pressure, right?
There's no question that Gigi Hadid's modeling career has skyrocketed over the past year. The proof: Her dozens of coveted gigs that include landing a spot on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Runway and the cover of Vogue, plus a role as a Maybelline spokesperson. On top of racking up dream jobs, the 21-year-old has also picked up a reputation as an "It" girl, thanks in part to her oh-so-active off-duty schedule, which sees her popping up in the hottest spots -- think award shows, boyfriend Zayn's music video or pretty much anywhere she goes with supermodel BFF Kendall Jenner.
Here'a a scenario you might be familiar with: You just walked out of the salon with freshly dyed hair. It's vibrant, it's shiny, it's beautiful and you love it. But then, day after day, your pricey, gorgeous hair color starts swirling down the drain. Not pretty. So what's a girl to do? One word: condition. Okay, let's make it three words: color-protecting conditioner.
When it comes to Khloe Kardashian's hair, the reality star has more styles under her (designer) belt than she does sisters. Yep, Khloe switches up her hairstyles as often as her younger sis
What woman doesn't wish for silky, long, Rapunzel-like hair? Problem is, with all we do in pursuit of a full, just-from-a-blowout mane (fun fact: 60 percent of women blow-dry their hair two to three times a week), we could be doing more harm than good. As we style our hair with heat, we're also gradually damaging it. This means it's going to look dry and frayed faster, forcing us to book a haircut before we can achieve the cascading locks of our dreams.
When you think of kids' haircuts or hairstyles, you may cringe recalling that particularly bad bowl cut your mom gave you back in the day -- and the photographic evidence of said disaster that sits framed in your childhood home. But today's kids (and their parents) are a little more savvy when it comes to styling their strands, as well as capturing their 'dos for posterity's sake.

Get ready for the best throwback you'll see all week, because we're traveling way, way back to the 1980s -- a glorious decade of innovations when Walkmans let us listen to our fave mix tapes on the go, Nintendos let us play in virtual worlds and our steady supply of Aqua Net let us craft supervolumized '80s hair that defied the laws of physics.

While there's no magical way to get your hair to grow faster or suddenly become healthier, there is an oh-so-easy way to get your hair to look mythical AF -- and all it takes is the addition of a little glitter. No spells or potions required. All you have to do is smooth a bit of hair gel into the area to be bedazzled, sprinkle on some sparkles and boom -- you've got glitter hair.
If we were playing a game of word association, the first thing you'd think when we said "layered haircuts" would likely be "The Rachel." Hey, it's not your fault. This style has lived on in infamy (really, there's no forgetting that choppy hairstyle that defined a generation). But this is not 1994, and layers have gotten a major overhaul from the unflattering, Kate Gosselin-esque styles of yesteryear.
Real talk: You don't need to hit a music festival to rock boho hairstyles. Because guess what?

For most of us, #iwokeuplikethis is less Beyoncé and more crazy bedhead and traces of last-night's smudged eyeliner. In a perfect world, we'd have plenty of time to shower and blow-dry our hair to perfection, but unless you're Olivia Pope, you probably don't have time to handle your hair on top of your daily obligations.
Heat styling is a necessary evil in the world of hairstyles. With sleight of hand, a good curling iron can add volume to stick straight hair and a superior flat iron can take curly hair to superstraight, sleek new territory.
Trying to figure out how to cover gray hair can be stressful enough to, well, cause even more gray hairs to sprout. And while many of us would love to book monthly salon appointments to deal with our strays, the reality is that many of us don't have the time -- or money -- to run to our colorist every month.
It's safe to say we're in the midst of a natural hair movement. A slew of African-American stars have been showing off natural hairstyle ideas that prove chic doesn't always mean sleek. We love that these kinky, curly, natural hairstyles are less stressful on the hair and don't require being chained to the flat iron for 20 plus minutes every morning.
