Ariana Grande, small pig owner and Pete Davidson appreciator, has a ponytail that, if laid out next to her prone form, would likely be almost as long as she is. It is smooth; it is silky. It is soft. It swings from atop her head like a glossy horse mane, its height supposedly dictates her moods, and unfortunately, it…

Ariana Grande is known for many things—possessing no tears left to cry, ruining the Titanic alongside Satan herself (James Corden) and, of course, the horse tail that grows atop her tiny head. In a new interview with Popsugar, Grande’s longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton argued that the varying heights and style of…

Continuing the recent celebrity trend of being entirely unrecognizable on the cover of a magazine, Ariana Grande let’s her hair down—both literally and, perhaps, figuratively—on British Vogue’s July cover.

NBC has announced that its next live musical—a follow up to star-studded productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Hairspray, Peter Pan, The Wiz, and Sound of Music—will be Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. So now the real question: Will the cast hang brain?

As *NSYNC makes the media rounds this week to promote the band’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, there has been something of an elephant in the room—or perhaps more of a wild-maned, unbridled stallion. It’s the hair. It’s JC Chasez’s hair. A spectacle so all-consuming that it was able to entirely derail an important…

The cast of Felicity is meeting up at the ATX TV 2018 Festival for their 20th anniversary, and the vibe is very: “Get your phones out for a big announcement.” It’s sort of like a marriage proposal on Christmas—everyone will already be there, so let’s do it.

Claire’s has died, which means soon the world is going to run out of its supply of neon scünci® snap clips, and then what?? The time has arrived to face the 21st-century, while retaining the general look of youth which I’ve clearly been projecting over here with my scrunchies, thirties be damned. I need to pivot to a…

Good morning, it’s another Monday, and Lupita Nyong’o once again looks radiant. Here she is, wearing beaded braids on the March cover of Allure, where she talks about the politics, stigmas, and insecurities attached to the subject of black hair.

I used to be very excited about makeup, and grooming in general. I experimented a lot with sparkles and brightly-colored eyeliner, and once went to an 8th grade dance with blue mascara on—a bold and sensual choice because, having blonde eyelashes, I appeared to have bright blue pipe cleaners jutting out of my eye…

Martin Shkreli is a huge idiot and now he’s in jail for it. (Also, there were a bunch of other things he did that landed him there, but all, I think, generally stemming from the same core issue.)

This week in empathy: hairdresser Kayley Olsson of the Iowa cosmetology school Capri Waterloo shared a story on Facebook of a 16-year-old girl who, she wrote, was too depressed to brush her hair. When asked to cut it all off in order to spare her the pain of preparing for school picture day, Olsson wrote that she…

Hi friends!!! I’m so sorry it’s been longer than usual since I checked in and brought you your hair dish; everything is FINE, I’ve just been really really bogged down with summer FUN (if you’ve also made it your goal to visit every single place on Gothamist’s “The 12 Best Frozen Drinks in NYC” list, holler at a girl!)…

Hair! Everyone, for the most part, has it! Sometimes it’s short and sometimes it’s long and sometimes if you use Vogue as your personal grooming barometer, it’s... ugly.

It has come to my attention that the latest cool and fun trend for those looking to change their looks for the summer is an outright lie perpetuated by the beauty industry. Reader, beware: salmon sushi hair is NOT REAL. Do not fall for this shit!!

It’s so upsetting what’s happening with my former favorite former couple Rob and Blac Chyna, but in the meantime, I’m glad to see Chyna is out and about and able to live her life without that negative energy around her—even if no one can decide whether her hair is rainbow, unicorn, or mermaid!

I consider it my sworn duty to be bold and honest when communicating with you, my devoted Hair Cariacs. That’s why I’m going to do something I haven’t done before and share some news about myself. Normally I consider myself just a strict journalist, here to report highlights from the hair news of recent weeks’ past.…

Now before we dig into this week’s frankly huge investigation, I have a little fun for you guys: this incredible interview with Gwen Stefani’s (yes, she of the impeccable platinum locks) colorist. Of course he credits some of her look to the magical power of leave-in conditioner, but listen to these details about how…

Hi Hair Cariacs! (Okay, I know that name isn’t exactly clicking yet, so share in the comments what you want yourselves to be called.)

I know that for many of you, beauty is a chance to escape from the rough times we’re all living in. So I’m sorry to say that this week’s column is going to be a little more obviously serious than most. For those wondering, no, I am not referring to the Hollywood Life piece pitting Amber Rose (a longstanding member of…

Remember a few years ago when gray hair was actually cool? Zayn had gray hair. Rihanna had gray hair. The New York Times wrote Style Section pieces on those zany millennials going silver. Everyone was like a really hot version of the Granny emoji.
