Texture Talk: Expert Tips for Growing Longer, Healthier Curls

September 02, 2021 at 08:37PM We’re always wondering how to get long, healthy hair (at the quickest rate possible!) — and the methods and products to get us there. While there’s no shortcut to growing hair faster (hair grows about half an inch a month), you can increase the amount of hair follicles that are growing and prevent breakage so that when it does grow, you retain the length. For those of us with 4C hair, growth is often hard to track because of factors like shrinkage and fragile strands. The good news is that it 4C curls grow at the same rate as any other texture. We tapped celebrity hairstylist Glenna Sandy (who has styled Issa Rae’s famous curls) and Salon AcadĂ©mie owner Nancy Falaise, and Amika global artistic director Naeemah Lafond for tips on how to achieve the inches we’ve been…

September 02, 2021 at 08:25PM It’s only the start of September, but celebrity style has already taken a more glamorous direction than swimsuits and cover-ups. Not to knock beachy looks, but with the return of red carpets in Venice, the GQ Men of the Year Awards, and a couple of movie premieres, too, the fall is about to get a little more Fashion. The proof is in looks from the likes of Gabrielle Union in a Valentino gown that’ll land your jaw on the floor or Beanie Feldstein, who showed up to the premiere of Impeachment: American Crime Story channeling Old Hollywood vibes in a Brandon Maxwell dress. But, don’t underestimate the great fashion in more casual moments, too. Cynthia Erivo’s take on denim is a standout in its own right, as is Bella Hadid’s street-styled skirt moment. Here, take a closer look…

Selena Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building Looks Just Made a Very Convincing Case For a Furry Coat

September 02, 2021 at 06:55PM It would be hard to steal a scene from legends like Steve Martin and Martin Short, unless, of course, you’re Selena Gomez’s perfectly fuzzy coat in Only Murders in the Building. After binging the quirky murder-mystery comedy on Hulu, we need more of this foursome - and by foursome, we mean Steve, Martin, Selena, and Selena’s outerwear collection. Selena certainly holds her own with the iconic comedic duo, providing some much-needed millennial sarcasm and a little edge, with a wardrobe crafted by costume designer Dana Covarrubias that toes the line between fashion-conscious New Yorker and laid-back 20-something who’s also too busy solving crime to be concerned with her outfit. In that way, the clothes are effortless - take the coat, for instance. It’s a standout piece that speaks for itself, so it pairs well with the basics, i.e.…

Dune’s Rebecca Ferguson Is Up for Anything

September 02, 2021 at 02:25PM Rebecca Ferguson does not like to be boxed in. So posing for FASHION in a gold look by Thom Browne that’s part fitted tuxedo and part corseted gown was rather challenging. Of course, the Swedish-born Ferguson, who was tough as nails as daredevil spy Ilsa Faust in the last two Mission: Impossible films and has yet another COVID-be-damned sequel on the way, rarely turns down a challenge.

This creation really reminded me of that. But once…
