Has My Short Hair Made Me Undateable?
When I cut nine inches off my hair almost 10 months ago, a few thoughts came to mind as great length of it fell to the salon floor: How much sleep would I have to sacrifice to style it every morning? Would that random patch of eczema I had on my neck the last time my hair was short come back? What wasn’t front and centre was how my new neck-grazing bob would affect my relationship status. But since noticing that my dating life has stagnated in the time since I went for the chop, my short ...
White Execs Are Getting Training On Black Hair, Thanks To Black Beauty Roster & NBCU
In 2019, Refinery29 posted an article called Black Actors Are Getting Huge Roles In Hollywood, But Still Doing Their Own Hair outlining the “terrifying and high-anxiety” inducing reality of actors sitting in trailers on sets with artists unfamiliar with doing Black hair and makeup. That year, other Black actresses, including Natasha Rothwell, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Gabrielle Union, took to Twitter (now X) to discuss H&MU horror stories using the hashtag #ActingWhileBlack. A year later,...
Introducing The “Bell Bottom” Bob: This Season’s Breakout Haircut
Looking for a way to update your bob haircut? Let us introduce you to the “bell bottom” bob, a blunt cut with flicked-up ends inspired by the most-loved trouser silhouette of the ’70s. Much like the nostalgic style of the disco era, the bell bottom bob — coined by hairstylist and trend forecaster Tom Smith — features a curve-caressing, concave shape (albeit here, it hugs the head rather than the body), which finishes in swept-up ends. What is the “bell bottom” bob? Over the las...
11 Women On The Exact Moment They Broke Up With Their Hairdressers
I am, without a doubt, a chronic people-pleaser. It’s odd, because I wouldn’t say that I’m scared of confrontation, but there’s something in me that just struggles to say “no” at times. There’s no greater example of this than when I’m sat in a hairdresser’s chair. Oh, you want to chop my hair off until it reaches my ears? Why of course! I only wanted a trim, but no worries if not — whatever you think is best. It’s for this reason that I’ve broken up with a fair few hairdressers (if yo...

This Is What Asian Hair Really Looks Like
For as long as I can remember, I’ve defied the lazy stereotype of Asian hair — pin-straight, ultra-fine, and jet-black. I have an alarmingly thick head of hair — the kind that requires two stylists’ blow-drying simultaneously. The kind that routinely snaps sturdy elastics. My father is Japanese and has stick-straight, fine hair. My mom, who is Puerto Rican, has a gorgeous head of bouncy curls. I’ve been told I’m a fascinating case study, as my hair is naturally thick as a lion’s mane but pron...
![“Like many Black women, I tried numerous hair oils that promised hair growth but saw no benefits… with exhaustion, I gave up,” explains Amanda Cowham to Unbothered over email. “I had a bad sew-in [weave] experience that gave me bald patches due to inflammation and an allergic reaction.

Black Women Are Turning To Minoxidil To Tackle Hair Loss, But Does It Actually Work?
“Like many Black women, I tried numerous hair oils that promised hair growth but saw no benefits… with exhaustion, I gave up,” explains Amanda Cowham to Unbothered over email. “I had a bad sew-in [weave] experience that gave me bald patches due to inflammation and an allergic reaction.

Is Regular Brushing The Secret To Healthier Hair? An Investigation
I’m not too proud to admit that for most of my adulthood, I didn’t own a hairbrush. I was that Brooklyn twenty-something who brushed her brows, but not her hair — and for a while, it served me just fine. However, after moving to Miami from NYC, I quickly realized that a brush might serve me well in smoothing my perpetual halo of frizz; it worked like a charm, but I never expected it would make my scalp and strands feel healthier than ever. In a world where high-tech gadgets were everywher...
5 Hairdressers On The Exact Moment They Broke Up With A Client
Hairdressers are sacred. When you find a good one, you tend to stick to them like glue. For the longest time after I moved to London, I would travel back to Nottingham just to get my hair done, lest I regret going to someone new. I did eventually try someone local, and when I left feeling pleased with the result, I felt guilty — like I’d just cheated on my beloved Amy. Eventually, I had to “break up” with her — (“I just can’t afford to travel all the way here — it’s not you, it’s me…”) — and ...
Yes, It’s Possible To Have Relaxed Hair That’s Strong — I’m Proof
I couldn’t tell you what my natural hair looks like, even if I tried (I imagine it would be coily and tight, coarse and thick). And I couldn’t tell you how to even begin to manage my natural hair, even if I tried. It’s because I have no memory of it — I can’t remember what my hair looked like before the age of seven, when my mother started taking me with her to our neighborhood salon in Brooklyn to get our strands relaxed. As a child, my hair was always “done,” because my mom’s was. I tho...
