We've been fans of Olaplex for years. And we're not alone: many other brands are now trying to replicate the popular products. One after another launches a ‘bond building’ shampoo or conditioner that suspiciously resembles that of Olaplex. Everything is being duped – yes, that's apparently just a word nowadays. But just like Charlotte Tilbury, one of the most copied beauty brands in the world, always says: “You can copy the packaging, but you can’t copy the magic.” So Olaplex. With now a very extensive collection of different products, and new ones keep coming out all the time...

New month, new color. To make the endless color choice a bit easier, we highlight the color of the month. In March, we all wear: pampampam... dirty martini. In other words, green, possibly with a touch of dark red. But mainly green, olive green to be precise. And our it-girls Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner are of course the trendsetters of this lovely color, which we undoubtedly want to paint as soon as possible. Olive green may not be the most obvious nail color, but that's exactly what makes it so fun for this month. It's just a bit different from classic red or natural,...

It's never too late for a nail polish color of the month, because to make the endless color choice a bit easier for you, we'll be tipping you the color every month. In February, we're all wearing the long-lasting color Tickle Tackle (1026), just from Hema. For €3.50, you can have this mega beautiful gray/taupe-like color applied to your nails in a matter of seconds. The color matches with everything you wear, and let’s face it, with this gloomy weather, it quickly turns to darker shades (if I can believe the street scene in the city), with an exception for beige-like shades or white, but even then...

There are so many different shampoos in my bathroom: one for hydration, one for volume, one for shine, you know the drill. But a shampoo that actually deeply cleans my hair and removes greasiness and all sorts of other dirt? I hadn't found that yet. Yes, in the form of a scalp scrub, like those from Christophe Robin or Philip B (both very nice), but the focus there is mainly on your scalp, which is of course also so important. Not every shampoo cleans your hair thoroughly. Many nourishing ingredients, like those in moisturizing shampoos, intentionally leave a nourishing layer on...

If you want to curl your hair to the next level, using hair rollers is a must for the most beautiful "vavavoom" result that lasts even longer. Hair rollers are making a comeback, and you see them everywhere. But there's one problem: hair rollers also have some disadvantages. This especially applies to rollers with hard pins. Here they come: Hair breakage. You think you're doing well, but hard hair rollers can damage your hair. If you don't roll them properly in your hair, taking them out can be a disaster. Taking them out needs to be very smooth and rotating for the best result,...

Creating a beautiful high ponytail is like a date with someone you've ghosted three times: it can be heavenly, or you end up with a limp, sad bun and a hefty dose of self-pity. That perfect Hailey Bieber ponytail is simply an art that not everyone possesses naturally. But hey, sometimes you just want to try something fun without spending hours in the bathroom - and not end up with your hairdryer in the toilet out of frustration. Just a look that seems effortless, as if you have a private team of hairstylists. Yes: that is really possible. In twenty minutes, with just...

All year round, I know exactly what I want: for my birthday, for Christmas, for all the moments when something in a cozy package is waiting for me. But the moment the questions really start pouring in, I always get a blackout. Every year, I promise myself to just write it down, you never know, but so far, nothing has come of it. But luckily, this year I do know very well what I want, even without keeping track. And now you do too, with this list...

The holidays have started, and that means a lot of people are going to be made happy with a Dyson (put it on your wish list). And believe me, if you thought it was only handy for drying your hair or doing a simple blowout, you are really mistaken. It's not for nothing that this hairdryer is in the beauty top 100. Because with a Dyson, you can do so much more. Grab your hairdryer, because I'm going to teach you my favorite hairstyles that you can create with your (new) Dyson. Beachy waves with...

For this week's hair trend, we've pulled something out of the old trick box. There's a good chance you recognize it: the French comb (aka side comb) is back. Yes, that one comb with which your grandma fixed a hairstyle in the 70s that no storm could ruin. Or maybe you remember it from your mother, who clicked it into her hair with a few quick movements before disappearing into the night on date night with your father. You too may have to believe it: the time of the colored claw clip in every kind and size is over....

New month, new color. To make the endless color choice a bit easier for you, we'll be tipping you the color every month. In December, we're all wearing pampampam: Winter White. White, but in a wintery way. Now that we're happily pulling our sweaters, scarves, and thick faux fur coats out of the closet, our manicure can definitely match that cozy December vibe. You might quickly think of burgundy, dark green, or even black. But we are really going for winter white. This is not a bright, summer white shade that screams for a cocktail on the beach, but rather the warm snow variant. Think: subtle pearlescent, milky...
