How to Wear Bandanas When Your Hair Refuses to Cooperate
8:00 a.m.: day-three hair, roots gone shiny, avoiding your own reflection. 8:03 a.m.: satin square tied at the nape, two loose strands pulled out front, and suddenly the whole thing reads as intentional. Three minutes. That’s the entire distance between “I give up” and “she woke up like this on purpose,” and it’s why bandana…
The Understated Manicure That Goes With Every Thanksgiving Outfit
Think a Thanksgiving manicure means tiny turkeys on your fingertips? Not even close. That’s the assumption I want to challenge today, because the best Thanksgiving nails are the ones nobody can date to a specific holiday. I speak from experience. I did the cartoon turkey accent nail one year, thought it was hilarious for approximately…
Back-to-School Beauty for College: 5-Minute Hairstyles and Nails That Actually Last
Do you wash your hair the night before you want to style it? And paint your nails right after moisturizing your hands? If you said yes to either, that’s your answer.

The Wedding Smokey Eye I’d Trust to Last Past Midnight
9 out of 10 wedding makeup disasters happen the exact same way: the eye look that was perfect at 2 p.m. is a gray smudge under the eyes by the first dance.

Braided Cornrows That Last for Weeks and Look Good Every Day
How many weeks should one braiding appointment actually last? Six. That’s the real number, straight from professional braiders. Not one week.

Beach Wedding Hairstyles That Holds Up in the Salt and Wind
Hair finished at 9am. Photos at 10. Car door opens at 11 and the ocean air hits you like a wall. By the first shot on the sand, you’re holding your whole head with one hand. Sound familiar? That’s the part nobody puts on the mood board. Beach wedding hairstyles get pinned by the thousands…
French Tips I’m Actually Trying This Season, Not the Basic Ones
The thick, chalky-white French tip from the early 2000s is officially tired. We all remember the chunky square acrylics with the harsh, opaque line painted straight across the top. It was the absolute standard look for every single prom and wedding for a solid decade. Today, that exact aesthetic feels completely out of place in…
Slicked Front Hairstyle Ideas for a Polished Look
Have you been using a palm full of heavy gel to get your front pieces to lay flat? That is exactly why your hair looks greasy instead of sleek. The clean, polished aesthetic is everywhere right now, but recreating these looks at home usually ends in a sticky, frustrating mess. You wash your hair, try…
Easy Layered Haircuts Ideas for a Glamorous Look
Unpopular opinion: blunt cuts aren’t for everyone. Asking your stylist to just trim straight across the bottom is the fastest way to make your hair look flat and lifeless. A solid block of hair rarely does anyone any favors. If you want that bouncy, expensive, glamorous aesthetic that takes over your feed, you need to…
