I Set Out To Save My Curly Hair and Succeeded - Here is Everything I Tried

As the saying goes; ‘you want what you can’t have’ I was desperate for straight hair growing up but alas, I naturally had curly hair that despite straightening (and even burning once) nothing could stop the frizz and kinks. Skip 10 years later and I am now desperate to rescue my locks. I naturally have type 2c - 3a hair and do everything I can to make my hair as big and wild as possible. Unfortunately the result is more Hagrid chic than curly goddess.

How Luxury Scalp Treatments Elevate Hair Appointments

Scalp health is often overlooked in the broader context of hair care, yet it plays a critical role in maintaining both the appearance and integrity of your hair. In the UK, scalp issues such as dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis are remarkably common, affecting a large portion of the population. Dandruff alone impacts up to 50% of adults, often leading to discomfort and embarrassment due to visible flaking and itching. Similarly, conditions like scalp psoriasis affect around 2-3% of the population, causing thick, scaly patches that can severely impact both scalp and hair health.

The Biggest Cut & Style Hair Trends for Autumn 2024

The cosiness of Curtain Bangs fits perfectly with the change of season and has a practical element that facilitates the generous trimming of the weaker face-framing hairs after a summer of potential damage. The Tiara Bun offers a practical yet regal option that fuses ‘health and wealth’ once more, while Cloud Curls celebrate texture and youthfulness for those opting to retain length and natural movement. Two trending bob shapes, one Tucked and one Laser Sharp, offer options for those who prefer a mid-length style, both focusing on precision and perfection. A noticeable lack of shorter styles is due to a year-long emphasis on hair health, meaning the majority are enjoying chin-length or longer styles as we move into the cooler seasons.

Why Blonde Hair Turns Green by the Pool and How to Prevent It

Blonde hair can turn green after swimming in a pool due to the presence of dissolved copper and other metals in the water. Contrary to popular belief, chlorine itself is not the direct cause. When copper is present in pool water—often introduced through pool pipes, algaecides, or the water source—it can undergo a chemical reaction, particularly when the water is chlorinated. Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent, causing the copper to oxidize into copper oxide. This copper oxide is then attracted to the proteins in the hair shaft, especially keratin, which is the primary structural protein in hair. When these copper particles bind to the keratin in the hair, they impart a greenish tint, which is more noticeable in lighter hair colors like blonde.
