It’s no secret that afro and curly hair can be very complex to navigate around.

So, you’re in the market for painting your strands. Nothing drastic. Just something rich, beautiful and thoroughly autumnal. You could start by making your way through your favourite winter drinks menu. Maple latte, hot chocolate and pumpkin spice have been pegged to take off.

Back when the FLARE team shared an IRL office space (RIP to my abandoned aloe plant…), my mornings looked a little something like this: rush to get up the elevators in time for our 8:30 a.m. daily meeting (for which, I admittedly showed up to at approx. 8:32 most days), hit the button on my

We’re approx 674824 months into the Coronavirus crisis, and if the cooler weather has got you trading park dates in for autumn recipe testing (read: attempting with all your might to make something out of leftover pumpkin flesh that doesn’t taste *gross*), you’ll need to invest in one of the best cookware sets.

The latest, sure-to-be-sold-out collection from Beyoncé and sportswear giant Adidas is officially on the way.

Keeping her makeup fresh and neutral and her

The history of protective hairstyles for textured hair dates back 30,000 years.

Jessica Alba has lived at least three different lives: Teen TV star turned blockbuster action heroine; modern domestic goddess and mom of three; and clean beauty pioneer.

Ever since it was announced that Mary-Kate And Ashley’s New York Minute was coming to Netflix this November, we’ve been craving all kinds of nostalgic TV.

If there’s one thing we’ve learnt in 2020 (you know, besides where to buy the chicest face masks and how to actually make banana bread), it’s the importance of positive stories. Something to make you smile and remind you of the good things in the world in amongst all the doom and gloom. And the

And now they can be downright sexy. Here are 8 cardis we love. It’s possible that I have the soul of an 70-year-old woman. It would explain my penchant for tea, blankets, cozy sweaters and an early bedtime. My love for cardigans has endured the longest and my childhood photos are proof. But cardigans haven’t always

Yes, getting a bold new colour can really spruce up your hairstyle but actually, the secret to an enhanced look likes in the cut. There’s a plethora of haircut options to choose from in salons, from a simple trim and undercover layers to the blunt lob and The Shag, but one is reigning supreme in

Exclusive Fashion Nova’s pimping a new bunny costume that looks real familiar to anyone who’s read Playboy — for the articles, of course — at least that’s the magazine’s claim in a new lawsuit.
