Hair dyes can, at times, cause allergic reactions, even in those cases when one uses the same brand and shade one has been using for years. This is why allergy tests are to be performed 48 hours before applying the dye, to see whether the chemicals in it have a negative impact on the body. In the case of 22-year-old ... |

The first grey hair equals, for many women, admitting that age is catching up on them. They turn to hair dye to cover all these white hairs, arguably doing more damage than good because of the high ammonia content, which actually comes to weaken the hair even more. There is, it seems, a solution for this problem, eve... |

All women must have had at least once in their lifetime what is known under the generic term of “a bad hair day.” For many, this can mean one of those days when the humidity in the air is so high, absolutely none of the hair products they apply can stop it from getting frizzy.

In July this year, Solange Knowles, Beyonce’s sister and successful singer on her own, was photographed picking up her kid from school and sporting a closely shaved head, as opposed to the long mane she used to have.

Tyra Banks, no matter how annoying certain media outlets deem her or her show, is a very active booster of the morale of the average woman, often tackling issues such as self-confidence and standardization of the female beauty on her talk show.

Blondes have more fun and brunettes are usually seen as more intelligent, these are two of the stereotypes that still stand as regards the color of a woman’s hair. Until just recently, redheads were believed to be the most passionate of the lot but, as it turns out, they’re not just that, as they’re... |

As she was slowly climbing the charts and rising in people’s music preferences as the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears’ image was that of a toned, blonde sensation, with blue eyes and moves to die for.

Not long ago, we were telling you about a treatment meant to eliminate the problem of thinning hair and hair-loss for good. LA Science did not label its product a “miracle cure” either for baldness (in men) or serious hair loss (both men and women), which was one of the first things that drew our attentio... |

They say men often find themselves torn between having to make a choice for a styled hair and letting it all natural, to avoid being compared to their partners who usually take at least half an hour to make their hair look right.

In humans, gray hair is listed among life's certainties, alongside growing old. However, thus far researchers have had no idea as to what is causing it. The only known thing about the growth process was that two types of cells are required for the hair to develop and get colored, and that sometimes these cells f... |

It is already a known fact that, for some men, reaching a certain age threshold is equivalent to starting to lose their hair and, as a rule, they often approach the problem in two ways. They either try to cover the thinning hair through whatever means they have or they attempt to make their hair look like it once use... |

In the past years, the segment of the cosmetic industry targeting the elimination of most signs of the ageing process or old age altogether has seen an incredible boost.

Ever since women learned hair only looked good on the head, waxologists have gradually become accustomed to the weirdest requests from customers, like having the earlobes, cheeks and even the neck waxed.

With so many ads hailing the new, revolutionary, less time-consuming line of hair dyes that require somewhere around 10 minutes to get glossy, stylish hair, it’s no wonder we’re often misled into believing getting it done at home is a walk in the park. Still, tragedies can – and do – happen so... |

Stylists usually say that, by 35 or so, women can and should experiment as much as possible with their hair, until they find just the color and the cut that best compliments their face and, why not, personality. Once this age is reached, however, the time for yet another change has come, which should mark a return to... |

Women dye their hair at home all the time, and have been doing so for many years.

Man has always been fascinated with the age-old question of whether blondes really do have more fun than brunettes. Sadly, given the economic downturn, an answer to that is no longer needed, since more and more women with blonde hair choose to darken their locks to be taken seriously at the workplace and, at the same... |

Long hair has been, and will always be the epitome of femininity and utmost beauty. Yet, that is not to say that a long ‘do will not work just as well at the workplace.

Hair is said to be extremely important for a woman, and with good reason while we’re at it. A mane that looks all sorts of tangled or unkempt is anything but good on anyone, let alone a lady.

It’s not unusual for a woman to want to do something for herself after a bad breakup.

Women, it has been argued, have very unique ways of dealing with stressful situations.

The way teenagers dress at school these days has been much debated in recent years.

Aging can be hard on anyone, not just women.

In 2009, the bob, the once-dreaded hairstyle, turns 100 but is still in the top of women’s preferences, and will probably remain so for much longer.
