7 Best Hair Growth Gummies Tested in 2025, Approved by Experts

by jummy84 November 15, 2025

“While I’m not typically a peach and mango fan—that’s the flavor of these gummies—I found that the combination made for a mild, tropical taste. Bonus: they’re sugar-free,” says DeSantis.

Because natural hair tends to be drier, it’s more prone to breakage, which can prevent it from growing long and thick. This is especially true in color and heat-treated hair. To strengthen the scalp and the strands themselves and promote nourished hair from the root to the ends, Vegamour gummies are formulated with biotin, vitamins B5, B6, and B12, along with vitamins A, C, and E. “Protecting the scalp and hair follicles from oxidative damage keeps a healthy hair environment,” says Dr. Shamban.

Best for Women Over 50: Xtresse Hair Growth Gummies

Developed by leading dermatologists and hair restoration specialists, Xtresse gummies feature a unique ingredient profile including NAD+, pumpkinseed extract, taurine, and saw palmetto. “[These ingredients] nourish hair follicle health to impact on a more direct cellular level,” says Dr. Shamban. The inclusion of the popular longevity ingredient NAD+ speaks to how these gummies address hair growth at the cellular level, even stimulating dormant follicles, which can be especially helpful in terms of aging-related hair loss.

“These were definitely a bit gummier than most of the other gummies on the list, but the strawberry flavor wasn’t overpowering, and it didn’t leave a lingering taste in my mouth,” says DeSantis. Although Buechner hasn’t tried them for herself, she noted that “the ingredients look fantastic.”

Best for Men: Hims Biotin Builder Gummies

The brand offers a prescription hair growth gummy along with a non-prescription option, and this is the latter. “Men can benefit from the same foundational nutrients that support hair structure and growth in women, including zinc, B vitamins, vitamin D, and collagen peptides (i.e., short protein fragments),” says Maciej Chichlowski, PhD, the senior director of nutrition research at supplement brand, Shaklee.

While treating true male pattern baldness will require targeted, prescription options, gummies are a great place to start if you’re looking to improve and encourage the health of the hair that you do have, and support a well-rounded hair growth regimen, should you implement more aggressive treatments. “It is essential to target the root cause first; potential deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, zinc, and overall protein intake might be the key,” says Dr. Chichlowski.

“These tasted the most candy-like to me and have a sweet cherry flavor, which makes sense because they actually worked with a confectioner (along with doctors) to get the gummy right,” says DeSantis.

Best Vegan & Gluten-Free: Grande Gummies

This vegan and gluten-free gummy is a great place to start in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. The biotin, amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E in this supplement come together to boost collagen—an essential element of healthy hair growth that naturally diminishes as we age (it starts to deplete in our 20s, womp, womp).

How to Master Your Curly Hair Routine, According to Pro Stylists

by jummy84 November 15, 2025

written by jummy84

Have you ever seen a curly hair routine on TikTok that made you question…everything? You’re not alone. For every texture from loose 2A waves to tight 4C coils, there’s a trending curly hair routine that promises unprecedented bounce, definition, and shine. And while every curl type deserves its own unique consideration, most routines employ the same basic formula. There’s plenty of great advice on CurlyTok, but if you expect a whole new head of hair the first time you try a new method, you might end up frustrated. That’s why we brought in the experts to break down the essential steps of any great curly hair routine—plus, insight on how to nail down yours.

Ahead, you’ll find…

Which steps should be part of every curly hair routine?

Cleanse

“A well-rounded curly hair routine should always include a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup,” celebrity hairstylist and curly hair specialist Mirna Jose tells Glamour. Alternatively, if you’re trying out the Curly Girl Method or prioritizing hydration, you can use a co-wash—a cleansing conditioner.

Condition and Detangle

After you’ve lathered up, you’ll want to lock in moisture and detangle your hair while it’s still wet. “I would use the Kristin Ess Ultra Hydrating Curl Repair Conditioner to hydrate and detangle, working your way from the ends to the roots,” says Sabrina Porsche, celebrity hairstylist on the Kristin Ess Hair Artistry Team.

Treat

Jose recommends that every curly hair routine incorporate a scalp serum “to promote balance and healthy growth.” To lock in moisture, she also recommends adding a hydrating hair mask for deep nourishment, or a leave-in conditioner straight out of the shower.

Dry

Most curly hair routines combine drying and styling as one step, with the products and techniques working together to maximize curl shape and definition as the hair dries. Instead of a regular towel, which causes friction against the hair which can lead to breakage and frizz, try a microfiber towel or even a T-shirt to remove excess water from your curls.

Jose says that using a diffuser can speed up dry-time and “help define curls and minimize frizz while drying.” But if you’d rather skip the heat, Porsche says you can also air-dry with a curl mousse, gel or curl cream (specific to your texture), and use hands-on techniques like scrunching to enhance your curls’ shape.

Which factors should you consider when crafting your curly hair routine?

Lots of individual considerations, including curl type, hair thickness, and time commitment will help determine the products and techniques you adopt in your custom curl routine. But experts say that catering one factor—which isn’t quite so obvious—can make a big difference in your results.

Porosity

“The first thing you should consider is your hair porosity, which determines how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture,” Jose says. Not sure what your porosity level is? You can do a quick ‘strand test’ to tell, Ona Diaz-Santin, the CEO of 5 Salon Spa, says: Float a clean strand of hair in a glass of water; if it sinks to the bottom, you have high-porosity hair; if the strand floats at the top, you have low-porosity hair; if it floats somewhere in the middle, you have medium-porosity hair.

Now, back to tailoring your curly hair routine: “If you have low porosity hair, you would use a lightweight based product and not too much heat,” says Porsche. “If you have medium prosody hair, your hair will most likely work with most products. If you have high porosity hair, you need to use heavier, oils, or cream based products to help contain frizz and locks in that moisture.”

What are some common curly hair routine mistakes?

Rushing the process

The golden rule of the curly hair routine is that you need to be patient with your curls in both the short and the long term. For starters, “you want your curl to be completely dry before heading out the door, for not only frizz protection but also for extended curl formation throughout the day,” says Jocelyn Smith, stylist and senior director of education at Ouidad Salon.

The 8 Best Straighteners for Curly Hair, Per Beauty Editors

by jummy84 November 15, 2025

written by jummy84

Seven years ago, I made the decision to cut out heat tools and no longer straighten my curly hair. I did the well-known “big chop” and decided to start over in hopes of giving my hair the revival it needed after over a decade of straightening it religiously.

Admittedly, I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that straightening my hair on occasions was okay but protecting your curls from heat damage is important too. I would also tell her that she needs to swap out her straightener, stat. I have a very clear memory of using my neon-pink cheetah-print flat iron that I purchased from Justice and holding on to it for dear life until eventually swapping it out for a Conair one that lasted me all through high school.

The key lesson I learned over all those years? The quality of the tools you use is just as important as the products you put in your hair. Since then, I’ve also learned a lot about what to look for in a good hair straightener for curly hair. Below, I’ve put together a tailored list of the top hair straighteners I would recommend to any curly girl who wants to protect her strands but also wants to switch things up and wear different styles. Read on for all the details.

1. Best Overall: Dyson Airstrait Wet-to-Dry Straightener

Dyson

Airstrait Wet-to-Dry Straightener in Ceramic Pink

My top pick may not be budget-friendly, but it is worth every penny. This Dyson flat iron was designed specifically with wavy, curly, and coily hair in mind. While you can wait for your hair to dry before using it, waiting is also an option. Unlike many others on the market, the Dyson Hyperdymium motor can dry hair as it straightens, cutting the time it takes to style in half. Additionally, the arms contain glass-bead thermistors that regulate temperature to reduce heat damage—a must for delicate curls.

Pro: Prevents heat damage

Con: Expensive, not many heat settings

Heat settings: 3

Customer review: “If you’re a lazy girl like me this is perfect. I normally have really thick curly long hair and shower at night so normally don’t have the energy to blow dry and straighten my hair. This honestly changed my life! It straightens and drys faster than I find my normal straightener and dryer. 10/10 recommend.”

2. Best for Frizz: Chi 1-Inch Titanium Flat Iron

3. Best 2-in-1: T3 Curling Straightener

4. Best Volumizing: Kristin Ess Flat Iron Hair Straightener and Curler

5. Best Budget: Tymo Ring Plus Ionic Hair Straightener Brush

7. Best for Avoiding Breakage: Drybar Reserve Vibrating Flat Iron

8. Best for Travel: Chi Lava Ministyler

What to Look for in a Straightener for Curly Hair

Price is one of the biggest factors that come with purchasing anything beauty related, let alone hair tools. If you’ve already skimmed the list above, you likely know that many of the straighteners that deliver high quality aren’t exactly the cheapest. That said, you don’t have to spend a ton of money on a straightener that works for you. There are plenty of options on the market that are $100 or less, so if you’re on the fence about splurging and decide to do so, definitely look into all of the features that are available to make sure it’s worth your money.

Heat settings are also extremely important. Not only do they allow you to have more control over the straightener, but they can also prevent you from damaging your hair even more (depending on the state of your hair). For example, if you have very damaged hair, a straightener with many heat settings or a lower temperature range may be best. If you have thick or coarse hair, you’ll want a tool that can go higher in heat.

A few other factors you might want to consider include whether or not the straightener can be used for other styling purposes, the plate material and length, and the weight of the tool.

12 Best Curling Irons and Wands of 2025, Tested on All Hair Types

by jummy84 November 12, 2025

written by jummy84

If you want a more traditional curling wand that can do it all, this interchangeable option from Paul Mitchell is a smart investment. It comes with three ceramic barrels—a 1-inch rod for loose waves, a 1.25-inch cone for natural-looking curls, and a 0.75-inch cone for tighter ringlets—so you can easily switch up your look depending on the day. The clamp-free, wrap-and-release design speeds up the styling process and helps minimize damage, while the brand’s far-infrared technology and super-charged negative ions help deliver shiny, frizz-free results. It’s also dual voltage for travel and has a one-hour auto shutoff for safety.

Testing notes from Glamour commerce writer Kilkeary

“I have to say, this tapered curling iron is one of the best I’ve ever tried for shorter hair. I used the superthin barrel to create corkscrew-like curls that completely changed the look and texture of my hair. It added so much volume and stayed put for hours throughout the night. I’d recommend this one if you have hard-to-curl hair like mine—it’s truly a game changer. You can see it clearly in my before-and-after,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.

Best on Amazon: L’ANGE Hair Le Curl 25 MM Titanium Curling Wand

Original video of Alanna Martine Kilkeary testing the L’ANGE Hair Le Curl 25 MM Titanium Curling Wand

What we love: Lightweight; easy to maneuver; heats up quickly
What could improve: May not be ideal for thin or fine hair

This titanium wand has a lightweight design that makes it easy to maneuver, and its 25mm barrel creates loose, glamorous waves. Just be mindful: Our tester found it heats up fast and runs hot, so it’s best suited for medium, thicker hair that can handle higher temps.

Testing notes from Glamour commerce writer Kilkeary

“The iron itself is light and easy to maneuver around your head, but I didn’t love that it was hard to see what temperature it got up to. I’d use this again at a lower temp, but did enjoy the looser, Hollywood-esque curls it gave me,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.

Best Interchangeable: Drybar The Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron

Drybar The Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron

Original video of Brigitt Earley testing the Drybar The Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron

What we love: Highly versatile; heats up quickly; long power cord
What could improve: On the bulkier side

This multifaceted tool comes with three snap-in attachments, making it easy to switch between a 1-inch wand, a 1.25-inch curling iron, and a triple-barrel iron. Use it for sleek curls or beachy waves, depending on your mood. Either way, the digital temperature control and a 9-foot cord make styling a little bit easier.

Testing notes from Glamour contributor Earley

Testing notes: “I’ve tried many of Drybar’s signature tools, and this one is especially versatile, which frees up space in a jammed vanity drawer,” says Earley. “Their tools do tend to be on the heavier and bulkier side, but heat up quickly to deliver a style that lasts.”

10 Best Shampoos for Oily Hair 2025, According to Dermatologists

by jummy84 November 11, 2025

written by jummy84

Testing notes: “This shampoo has probably one of the best textures on this list. It’s a gel that foams into a really nice lather and washes out easily for smooth, grease-free strands. I noticed that my scalp was less flaky and oily post-wash and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to combat oily roots and an unbalanced scalp,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.

Best for Fine Hair: Nécessaire Rosemary Shampoo

Nécessaire Rosemary Shampoo

Pros: Smells great; lightweight formula; lathers nicely
Cons: Pricey

This luxurious rosemary shampoo might be a little pricey, but Glamour’s Kilkeary says it’s well worth it if you have fine, oily strands. Kerry E. Yates, a trichologist and founder of Colour Collective, agrees. “It has antimicrobial properties that can decrease inflammation and help increase blood circulation,” she says. This can help thicken your hair over time and make your hair look fuller and more voluminous (sans the grease). It also has ceramides that nourish and hydrate the scalp’s skin barrier.

Testing notes: “My hair gets pretty oily if I skip a wash day, so I simply can’t go without a clarifying shampoo. This super-nourishing shampoo (which smells amazing, by the way) helps absorb grease and promotes growth in sparse areas, and I’ve noticed such a difference in my hair since I first started using it. The hair at my root is much thicker and stronger, and I don’t find that my strands get as greasy as quickly. My hair feels and looks fresh and has much more body and volume,”Glamour’s Kilkeary says.

Best for Dry Ends: Kérastase Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo

Original photo from Jenifer Calle testing Kérastase Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo

Kerastase Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo for Oily Hair

Pros: Keeps hair shiny but not greasy; helps with itch
Cons: Expensive

Have greasy roots but dry ends? Bradley Leake, a professional hairstylist based in Los Angeles, suggests this balancing shampoo, which he describes as “an ultralight formula that balances scalp oiliness.” It contains amino acids to reduce excess oil and odors, while vitamin B₆ helps gently nourish lengths. Leake also notes that it’s a great volumizing shampoo for flat hair, which is yet another reason he loves using it with clients.

Testing notes: “My hair tends to get shiny after a day, but I’ve noticed that after using this Kerastase shampoo, my strands stay shine-free for up to three days. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t lather at all, so I would recommend double- (or triple-) washing with another shampoo. I have coarse, long hair so I do end up using a lot of product, which adds up, but I can honestly say that this is the only hair product that’s actually helped my greasy strands,” says Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle.

Best Scent: Aveda Rosemary Mint Purifying Shampoo

FAQ for hair masks

How is a hair mask different from a conditioner?
A conditioner provides surface-level smoothness and detangling benefits after every wash. In contrast, a hair mask penetrates deeper into the hair shaft, repairing damage, restoring moisture, and improving hair elasticity over time. It’s more of a weekly treatment than a daily one.
How often should I use a hair mask?
For most hair types, using a hair mask once or twice a week is ideal. If your hair is dry, chemically treated, or damaged, you can use it 2–3 times a week. For oily or fine hair, once a week is usually enough.
Can I leave a hair mask on overnight?
Some nourishing masks can be left overnight for extra hydration, especially if they’re made with natural oils or butters. However, always check the label — not all masks are suitable for extended wear, and leaving some on too long can weigh down your hair or cause buildup.
Should I use a conditioner after a hair mask?
Usually, you don’t need to. A hair mask already provides intense conditioning. However, if your mask is protein-based (for strengthening), you can follow up with a light conditioner to restore softness.
Can hair masks help with hair fall or dandruff?
Yes, certain masks are formulated with ingredients like biotin, keratin, argan oil, or tea tree oil that target hair fall, scalp irritation, and dandruff. Always choose a mask that matches your specific concern.

Blueface took to social media to show off his fresh retwist, but it wasn’t the hair that caught everyone’s attention. With the close-up video, fans couldn’t help but notice the Cali rapper’s face tattoos.

BlueFace Shows Off His New Hairstyle

Blueface has been up and down the timeline ever since his release from jail. This weekend, the ‘Thotiana’ rapper took to his Instagram Story to showcase his latest hairstyle, offering fans a close-up of his fresh retwist. In the video, he even joked that he looked like the “Black girl from Jimmy Neutron.”

However, when The Shade Room Teens reposted the clip as a “Hair Dos & Don’ts,” the comments section went left. Social media users could only focus on one thing- business logos tattooed across his face. From Walgreens to Chase to Major League Baseball, folks joked that Blueface is walking around like a “human billboard.”

Social Media Reacts

The comments were quick, funny, and somewhat brutal. Here’s what users had to say:

Instagram user @icyyroger wrote, “I’m just curious on who made him get tattoos of a Chase logo, a Walgreens logo, and the MLB logo”

Another Instagram user @_iamprettymarie wrote, “Is that a recycling ♻️ sign on his forehead 😩”

While Instagram user @fwmirah wrote, “Idkkk man he still kinda cute”

Instagram user @divinepressure__ wrote, “Whyyy would he freaking do this to his face 🙄”

Another Instagram user @bewaresheavirgo wrote, “I hate he did this to his face it oissed me off everytime”

While Instagram user @bijancarrie wrote, “a walking billboard literally”

Instagram user @yafavv.Angel wrote, “Walgreens in the middle of his forehead is crazy 😂😂”

Another Instagram user @sweetcarolinagirl1 wrote, “What y’all see in him?”

While Instagram user @ _.Renea._412 wrote, “The post should states, ‘Faces Dos and Donts’ and not ‘Hair Dos and Donts’”

More Timeline Shenanigans From BlueFace This Week

One thing about Blueface, he’s gonna stay in the headlines. Just days before the hairstyle reveal, a clip of him getting cozy with Hazel E in the club made its rounds online.

And if that wasn’t enough, his latest tweet spree had the internet talking. Blueface called out Jaidyn Alexis, the mother of his first two kids, claiming she didn’t hold him down while he was locked up. Jaidyn clapped back in with facts and a little shade, letting it be known she was handling business on the outside, paying rent, car notes, and taking care of her kids.

In a shady tweet, she wrote, “Sorry u couldn’t get your M&Ms, I was buying Happy Meals 😂”

Experts weigh in on the hidden health impact of Delhi air pollution, beyond lungs: Skin, hair, bones, and even fertility

by jummy84 November 8, 2025

written by jummy84

Every winter, as a dense grey haze blankets Delhi, the familiar conversations around pollution return. But the crisis today goes far beyond coughing fits and watery eyes – it’s silently disrupting deeper aspects of health, from hormonal balance and fertility to skin, hair, and even bone strength. Doctors across specialities are reporting a steady surge in pollution-related ailments among Delhiites.

Experts advise reducing exposure and wearing masks as temporary solutions to protect yourself from pollution.(Hindustan Times)

Also Read | Cancer surgeon suggests 6 food groups to protect against rising lung cancer risk due to Delhi pollution

HT Lifestyle spoke to three specialists for their insights on how Delhi’s toxic air is taking a toll not just on the lungs but also on the skin, hair, fertility, and bone health. The experts include Dr Karuna Malhotra – founder, cosmetologist, and aesthetic physician at Cosmetic Skin and Homeo Clinic, Rajouri Garden; Dr Shobha Gupta – medical director and IVF expert at Mother’s Lap IVF Centre, Pitampura; and Dr Akhilesh Rathi – director of joint replacement, orthopaedics, and sports injury at Sri Action Balaji Hospital, Paschim Vihar, and founder of Rathi Orthopaedic and Spine Clinic, Dwarka.

Skin and hair

As the body’s outermost barrier and first line of defence, the skin and hair bear the brunt of toxic air exposure – taking some of the harshest hits from Delhi’s rising pollution levels. Dr Malhotra explains, “Air pollution in Delhi is a cocktail of particulate matter, industrial chemicals, and toxins. These particles are so tiny that they penetrate the skin barrier, triggering inflammation, pigmentation, dullness, early wrinkles, and stubborn acne flare-ups.”

Pollution particles trigger the production of free radicals that break down collagen, causing the skin to age faster. The cosmetologist also highlights that dermatology clinics across the city are reporting a surge in cases of contact dermatitis and eczema during peak pollution months.

Hair is just as vulnerable – pollutants settle on the scalp, clog follicles, weaken the roots, and interfere with the natural hair growth cycle. Dr Malhotra points out, “Over the past few years, I’ve seen a sharp rise in brittle hair, excessive hair fall, and itchy, flaky scalp conditions every time pollution peaks.” She stresses the need for double cleansing and antioxidant-rich skincare routines during this season.

Pregnant women and fertility

A growing yet often overlooked consequence of air pollution is its harmful impact on reproductive health – affecting fertility, hormonal balance, and even pregnancy outcomes. According to Dr Gupta, “Long-term exposure to toxic air increases oxidative stress in the body. This can disturb hormonal function in women, reduce egg quality, and in pregnant women, raise the risk of complications such as low-birth-weight babies and preterm deliveries.”

The gynaecologist explains that microscopic pollutants can enter the bloodstream and even cross the placental barrier. Expecting mothers with pre-existing respiratory conditions often experience heightened breathlessness, fatigue, and disrupted sleep during periods of severe pollution.

Men aren’t spared either – they are affected equally. Prolonged exposure to air pollution can drastically plummet sperm count and motility. Dr Gupta notes, “Among couples trying to conceive, we are increasingly seeing pollution-linked decreases in sperm health. This is now an emerging factor in infertility, especially in urban settings like Delhi.”

The impact of air pollution on bone and joint health.(Image generated via ChatGPT)

Bone health

While the effects of pollution on the skin and lungs are well recognised, its impact on bone health remains surprisingly underreported. According to Dr Rathi, “Air pollution interferes with how the body processes calcium and Vitamin D. Because people avoid going outdoors and sunlight is blocked by smog, Vitamin D deficiency becomes almost universal in winters.”

The orthopaedician points out that vitamin D deficiency weakens bones, raises the risk of fractures, and exacerbates conditions like osteoporosis. Moreover, pollutants can indirectly trigger inflammation in the body, intensifying joint pain – particularly among older adults.

Dr Rathi adds, “Many patients complain of stiffness, knee pain, and chronic fatigue during the pollution season. These are not just age-related changes; pollution is a key contributing factor.”

A call for awareness and collective action

Dr Malhotra notes, “Pollution may be external, but its impact is deeply internal. Awareness and proactive care can prevent long-term damage.” While masks, air purifiers, and lifestyle tweaks can provide short-term relief, experts emphasise that meaningful change requires systemic, long-term solutions. Until then, individuals must take proactive steps to safeguard their health. Doctors recommend adopting antioxidant-rich diets, using air purifiers indoors, following regular detoxifying skincare routines, supplementing with vitamin D and omega-3s, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak smog hours.

Delhi’s pollution crisis has evolved from an environmental concern into a full-blown public health emergency. Toxic air is silently damaging everything from skin and hair to hormonal balance, fertility, and bone strength. What makes it even more alarming is its invisibility – few connect everyday issues like fatigue, joint pain, or hair fall to pollution. As the city battles its annual smog surge, experts urge citizens to protect themselves while pushing for systemic change – because clean air isn’t a privilege, it’s a fundamental right.

10 Designer Hair Perfumes That Make You Smell so Expensive

Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 currently costs a cool $355, but I can douse myself in the sweet, woody-amber situation for $95. The same goes for Parfums de Marly’s Delina, a delicate floral and known compliment magnet—tagged at $410, but I’ve hit the jackpot with a $97 bottle. No, I don’t have access to some secret sale or fancy underground fragrance market. (Hit me up, though, if you do!) I’ve simply discovered the ultimate cheat code for smelling expensive: designer hair perfumes.

Okay, technically speaking, a hair perfume won’t look exactly like its eau de parfum counterpart. The juice tends to be less concentrated (not as much fragrance oil) and packaged in more utilitarian bottles you can easily spritz with abandon—though, many luxury options do honor the brand’s original gorgeous designs. That said, the notes are the same, and so is the effect (read: “You smell incredible!” compliments from coworkers, friends, and strangers). I tend to spray eau de parfums directly on my strands anyway—a hack French women swear by for scent longevity—so swapping it out with a proper hair mist just makes sense. And the thought of smelling just as delightful without making my wallet cry? Score!

See below for my favorite designer hair perfumes—from Dior J’Adore to YSL Libre to the iconic Baccarat Rouge—and feel free to gatekeep our little secret.
