“Patients come to me with hair-loss concerns every single day — literally,” says Dr. Neera Nathan, a Boston-based dermatologist. “For years, I’d offer the same two or three treatments in my clinic — minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma and sometimes spironolactone. I’d never heard of plant-based ingredients that could actually help.” In 2020, Nathan was introduced to hair-care brand Vegamour, which launched at Sephora Canada this January. “I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there is data showing that topical ingredients like caffeine, turmeric and red clover can stimulate hair growth.” In add ..read more

You might think that having metal deposits in your hair is associated with hair dye, but, actually, “we all have metals like copper and iron on our strands, even those of us who have never dyed our hair,” says Carin Freidag, senior manager of global retail hair education at Clairol. “These metals are deposited by water when we wash our hair.” Then, if you do go on to colour your strands, those metals affect your results. The key to getting them off? Chelating agents. Clairol’s new Nice’n Easy Pure Brunettes collection features the brand’s Detox+Pure Tone system, which starts with a pre-colour ..read more

Looking to strengthen damaged hair? It’s time to get scientific. “Bonds are important for moisture, elasticity and shine,” says Peter Schuetz, measurement science leader at Unilever. There are three types of bonds in our hair — ionic, covalent and hydrogen — and they act as a bridge between proteins that make up the hair fibre, so having a strong, healthy bridge is crucial for hair to look its best. While hydrogen bonds are the most abundant, they are also the weakest and easily broken or damaged by external factors such as heat. “The new Nexxus Amino Bond line has been designed to repair hydr ..read more

Are you one of the brave souls who can stomach a full-leg wax or multiple sessions of laser hair removal? Or are you halfway through your box of razor blade refills? Sometimes, it’s OK to seek temporary fixes — like hair removal cream. Topped off with a luxe body oil, say hello to smooth skin for days! What is hair removal cream, anyway?

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to finding the best hair curler tool. Like most hair tools, the size and shape make a huge difference in achieving the type of curl you’re looking for, along with factors like your hair type, hair texture and the products you use.

The one thing we can agree on ..read more

Of all the hair styling tools in your kit (which includes hair oil and a hair mask), finding the best hair diffuser is essential. Hair diffusers are bowl-shaped attachments that snap to your dryer to help diffuse the flow of air to your curls to encourage clumping and definition. With one of the top diffusers, you can speed up your drying time, leaving your curls super voluminous and defined, with less frizz and flyaways. What to look for ..read more

Move over, minimalists. Big hair is on its way back — and it’ll be better (and bigger!) than ever. Though slicked-back buns have been all the rage for some time, we can’t help but wonder if more va-va-voom volume is on the way. If you look to the gravity-defying styles recently worn by A-listers like Miley Cyrus and Julia Roberts, plus a runway full of Marc Jacobs models, the answer is a powerful “yes.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Bob Recine (@bobrecine) At this month’s 2024 Grammys, Miley Cyrus took to the stage flaunting a larger-than-life mullet like only ..read more

Is there a stunt more superior than dramatically flipping your hair and leaving behind an irresistible trail of hair mist perfume in your wake? Truly, it’s a tough flex to follow. Though typical pulse points for body sprays and perfumes include the wrists, neck and even behind the knees, who doesn’t want hair that also smells delicious?   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by PHLUR (@phlur) As many of us can likely recall from memory (you never forget the scent of Victoria’s Secret or Bath and Body Works body mists), body sprays were everything in the late ’90s and earl ..read more
