I casually mentioned to my friend the other day that my hair had seen better days. Normally when my hair is short it looks and feels healthier, but between the sun, the sand, and pool, my ends were feeling dehydrated. Since cutting my hair short, I still try to hold off on washing at least every two days, however, my lob requires a bit more styling than my long locks. Rather than air dry every other wash, I feel like…

The only thing worse than my nail roots were my grey hairs all over my scalp. For some backstory, I have had grey hair since around my 12th birthday. I started dying my hair Liv Tyler Empire Records era auburn in middle school to mask it, which went well with my Doc Martens and flannels.

A good hairstylist is life changing, and I am humbled to say that’s exactly what happened to me when I met Randi Deverson in 2010. We could also call her The Artist Formerly Known As Chloe.…
My very first hair wand was gifted to me by a friend almost a decade ago. Clipless curling irons were new to the market, and she was working for Amika, which was little known in the US. The first few times I tried it, I burned myself so many times I gave up. Soon after, it became an indispensable tool in my hair care kit.…
A few of you have asked how I get my super straight hair to get and stay in loose beachy waves. I’m currently working on a video to show you exactly how I (lazily) go through the actual process, but in the meantime, I thought I would share the most important tool I use. Any suggestions on best quick video editing tools are welcome here puh-lease.…
Some of you asked about what kind of shampoo I use after I admitted that the best thing I ever did for my hair was quit washing it every day. Let me back up a bit and say that the right shampoo and conditioner is key in making this “wash-less” lifestyle work, and I found the best shampoo and conditioner ever.…
The best thing I ever did for my hair was quit washing it every day. Since then, my mane has never been healthier, softer and shinier. However, my naturally straight, fine hair gets flat and oily on no-wash days. My only style savior on day two and three is dry shampoo, so I’ve tried every single one of them. Suffice to say, I am an expert. Check out my picks for the 5 best dry shampoos on the next page.…
