I’ve Already Tried on 10 of 2022’s Biggest Trends—Here’s What’s Worth It

December 24, 2021 at 05:42AM It may not be summer, but we can certainly dress like it. Ok, it might not exactly be bikini weather here in the UK, but we can look to next year’s biggest trends and start investing in pieces that will work hard in our wardrobe in the coming months and slot right into our spring/summer looks next year, too. Now, there are a lot of really fun trends for spring/summer 2022. To break it down, there is a divide between extreme minimalism (just think of the many monochromatic grids you will have seen whilst scrolling through your Instagram feed) versus the maximalism we also so very often see on some of our favourite influencers (especially in their Instagram Reels). From oversized suits to holiday dressing, I have handpicked my top 10 buys that tap into these key trends and that you can…

Texture Talk: How to Repair Heat and Colour Damage

December 23, 2021 at 02:30PM Heat and colour damage is hard to repair, plain and simple, and, to be honest, it can be one of the most discouraging parts of your natural curly hair care journey, especially when it’s due to methods you’ve used with the intention of actually elevating your style. However, there is hope at the end of this frizzy, split-end tunnel. With a little effort and the right mix of ingredients and methods, your hair can easily (read: with patience) return to its former glory. If you’re wondering how tools and chemicals designed for hair actually create this damage in the first place, you’re not alone. The short answer is major damage to your hair’s cuticle.

Looking at These 28 Blonde Bobs Made Me Cut My Hair

December 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Being experimental with your hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact. Right now, as our strands continue to grow without the prospect of a cut any time soon, it seems everyone is busy dreaming of and mood boarding potential styles to opt for once the salons are back up and running.And, with more time to ponder on and weigh up the pros of a dramatic change, I thought it might be worth sharing my recent experience in hope it might inspire some of you. You see, I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob/long bob brigade. A few months back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by…

24 Fringes That Suit Everyone, According to Hair Experts

December 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Cutting in a fringe can seem like a big commitment, yet it’s a hairstyle most of us have likely at least considered over the years. Fringes come in all types of shapes and cuts, and there are some that can suit everyone, with others being a little harder to pull off, depending on your face shape and how you style your hair. If you’re currently feeling tempted by a fringe, there are certain looks that can suit any of us, regardless of these elements. “A parted sweeping fringe will suit any face shape,” explains Maxine Cooke, a creative stylist at Nicola Clarke at John Frieda salons. “The length just needs to be adjusted to complement the face shape.”Maxine also recommends opting for a side-swept fringe if you want minimum commitment, and Paul Windle, the founder of Windle London, suggests picking a fine long…

I’ve Had So Many Compliments on My Lashes Since Using This Cult Product

December 23, 2021 at 08:00AM I always felt like I had long lashes. Between that and using a lash curler and a selection of curling and lengthening mascaras every day, I felt like my lashes were perfectly fine—no further assistance necessary. I very rarely wore falsies and never tried extensions; I just didn’t feel like I needed extra help. But as is the nature of being a beauty editor, I was curious about RevitaLash’s eyelash growth serum. Its growing power is hinged on the BioPeptin Complex, a mix of peptides and botanicals that helps to strengthen lashes and aid growth over time. It’s become a cult favourite for beauty lovers around the world, and I began to wonder if its claims of achieving longer, stronger lashes really hold up. RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner isn’t new by any means. (Although, the brand is launching a new brow-and-lash masque…

Your Lingerie Is Over the Second You Do This

December 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the years, I’ve accumulated quite a nice collection of lingerie, had multiple bra fittings and received quotes from some of the biggest experts in the industry on the dos and don'ts of lingerie across the board. Most of these rules are easy enough to follow, except for one (at least for me). During my most recent lingerie fitting for a story I wrote on what it’s like to wear lingerie sets for a week straight, the saleswoman assisting me told me that if I’m not storing my lingerie properly, I’m basically killing it, not getting my money’s worth, and so on and so forth.Instantly I switched into panic mode as I realised all my lingerie was currently stuffed in my drawer along with the rest of my five-for-ÂŁ20 underwear and random assortment of sports bras. In other words,…

Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Low-Key Winter Outfit I Want to Copy

December 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Even though I’m a fashion editor, I have to admit I’m a bit of a lazy dresser. While there’s certainly a time and a place to get dressed up and push your sartorial boundaries, most of the time, I rely on easy-to-throw-on looks that require little effort on my part to style. This is why I love seeing celebrities doing the same thing—wearing a chill, minimal-effort outfit that 1) makes me feel better about my own choices and 2) might inspire my next low-key look. Enter Dakota Johnson’s latest outfit, which strikes the perfect balance of stylish but reassuringly casual. On a chilly day in NYC, Johnson wore a brightly coloured beanie hat, the sort of which you can pick up just about anywhere right now, be it Ganni or Gap.
