Essentials

Curling irons are one of the more elusive beauty tools that we have at our disposal. They aren’t like flat irons, which are pretty self-explanatory in terms of directions and results. We use a flat iron to get chic and straight. But, curling irons open a whole new world of possibilities.

For many people, hair tools are something that are kept forever (until they simply stop working). However, what people don’t understand is that all tools have an expiration date! In fact, sometimes that expiration date is as little as two years.

While flat irons save us from our frizzy-haired woes, there’s certainly a right and wrong way to use them. At the end of the day, hairstyling is as much a science as it is an art, and there are things to be cautious about. Before you grab the iron, take a look at our Do’s & Don’ts of flat ironing to make sure that your styling methods aren’t falling flat (the bad kind of flat!).

Tomorrow is National Hat Day and there’s reason to celebrate. Not only do hats keep you warm during the winter months, but they also tie countless looks together and make amazing statement accessories. People love to throw on hats when they’re having bad hair days, but we don’t think hats and bad hair days are mutually exclusive!

It’s hard to believe that we’re already entering the 2020s. And, what better way to kick off the new decade than by working on resolutions that yield quick, visible results? We are talking, of course, about your often overlooked (but always visible) hair. Hair is something that needs to be maintained and nourished in order to appear healthy and stylish.

Just because your hair dryer turns on and blows air, it doesn’t mean that it’s functioning properly. Most people buy hair appliances and think that they work properly until they simply stop powering on. However, for the safety of your hair, it’s important to know your dryers inside and out. And, not all dryers are created equally. You may be wondering how salon quality dryers and drugstore dryers compare.
