I plucked it and have continued to do so since, but over the years, I’ve realized that … Continue reading Dear derm: why do chin hairs appear in women and how do we make them stop?

July 29, 2019 at 12:38PM by CWC A hairstylist once told me that sweat is one of nature’s very own styling products, and the sentiment has always stuck.

July 27, 2019 at 02:01AM by CWC I’m a big fan of essential oils. Any time you enter my apartment, you’ll probably catch a whiff of eucalyptus—my mood-booster and stress-reliever.

July 26, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC I’ve tried at-home waxing exactly once—and the attempt ended with tears, wax all over my bedsheets (don’t ask), and spotty patches of hair patterned up and down my aching legs. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I soon reconciled with my razor with newfound passion. Now that I’m a … Continue reading 7 at-home waxing products that make hair removal easier than ever

July 23, 2019 at 12:41PM by CWC Getting your hair cut can be a stressful process. It’s a way to totally change up your look in the course of a single hour, which in and of itself can be daunting.

July 19, 2019 at 06:32AM by CWC Once upon a time we were told that we needed to wash our hair every single day. Here in 2019, however, we’ve learned that’s bull.

July 16, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC It’s one of the most basic beauty rules around: If you’ve got split ends, you go and get a haircut. Even if you’re trying to grow your strands to Rapunzel lengths, once that telltale sign of dead-ness kicks in, it’s time for a trim. But as I recently … Continue reading 4 signs you need a haircut that *aren’t* split ends, according to a stylist

July 14, 2019 at 06:10AM by CWC I’ve fallen in love with coconut over the years. First, it was eating the meat out of a freshly-cracked coconut—a snack that instantly transports you to a sunny tropical island whenever you take a bite. Then it was using coconut oil as the full-body moisturizer my skin never … Continue reading Coconut milk isn’t just for cooking—it’s also great for your hair

July 12, 2019 at 07:55AM by CWC In high school, the name of the game was to use Sun-in, AKA that hair spray that somehow magically lightens your strands a shade or two as the summer months pass by.

But there are … Continue reading Why almond oil might be the most underrated hair product for frizz

July 08, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Come hell or hot (shower) water, I will not blow dry my hair. Call me lazy, but every time I switch on the hair styler’s cool setting and begin airing out each strand, I think of everything I could be doing instead—performing jumping jacks, rewatching Criminal Minds, taste-testing the … Continue reading Sleeping with wet hair can give you that chic bedhead #lewk—but there’s a catch

July 07, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC I’m so incredibly diligent with sunscreen on my face and body that the people who are around me 24/7 tend to roll their eyes as I reapply…yet again. Whatever, guys.

July 06, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC I noticed something weird when I started working from home: My hair hurt.
