Review: RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer

Image
This expensive hair vacuum quickly dries and smoothes kinks out of your hair. It's impressive, if you can afford to pay for it and can store it. STRAIGHTENING MY CURLY, poofy hair is an arduous, two-day affair. I would do almost anything to make the process faster and easier, but I never quite pictured myself loading locks of my hair into the nozzle of a vacuum-like device in my bathroom. There was no way this would work. But it did. The RevAir, or reverse air dryer, is incredible. It dries and straightens hair in one step. Mileage may vary—depending on your hair texture and the style you prefer, you could have perfectly straight hair with no follow-up. But at the very least, it will greatly reduce the overall time spent on your styling. Quick Dry If you've ever gotten a blowout or done one yourself, you know it's quite a process, especially the thicker and wilder your hair is. You hold a brush with one hand and the blow dryer with the other, painstakingly smoothing out e

Lucy Hale's Flower Manicure Is the Summer Nail Inspiration I Need Right Now

Image
It's been a while since our favorite celebs have blessed our Instagram feeds with their stunning manicures and nail art, but now that some restrictions are lifting, it's back to business (sort of) for many of them. Just as folks like Kylie Jenner and Megan Thee Stallion have reunited with their glam teams and showed off their new looks on social media, so has Lucy Hale, who shared a picture of her new manicure on June 24. Just days after revealing a few new tattoos in honor of her dog, nieces, and nephew, the Katy Keene actress showed fans her negative-space flower manicure via her Instagram stories earlier this week. The look was created by celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen , who's also worked with Joey King, Reese Witherspoon , and Issa Rae, among plenty of others. The nails feature a plain, glossy base with flowers painted near her cuticles. Get a look at Hale's new manicure, and then check out other celebs who have reunited with their nail techs .

You Can Add Kaia Gerber to the List of Celebrities Going Blond For the Summer

Image
The summer hair transformations have officially started rolling in. Kaia Gerber traded her natural brunette hair for a much lighter style : platinum blond. We first got a peek at Gerber's new hair color on June 19 when she was photographed going to the gym in West Hollywood, CA, but it was pulled back into a ponytail. Since then, she met up with a friend for lunch on June 22 and we got to see her blond hair in her signature choppy lob style. Gerber isn't the only celebrity to go blond for the summer. As hair salons reopen all over the country, people are flocking back to their stylist for a long-overdue style refresh. Emily Ratajkowski shocked everyone with her never-before-seen blond hair on June 23, and Kylie Jenner debuted a new, golden-blond wig on June 24. Going blond during the warmer months is always a classic choice, but if you're looking for more out-of-the-box inspiration, this season's hottest hair-color trends have a lot to offer.

The Brown Beauty Co-op Is More Than a Retailer - It's a "Beauty Playground" For Women of Color

Image
In an industry that's been criticized for its lack of diversity, sometimes all you can do is carve out a special place for yourself and the countless other women who often feel underrepresented - and that's exactly what Washington, D.C., residents Kimberly Smith and Amaya Smith did in 2018 with The Brown Beauty Co-op . The two women - who are best friends, not sisters - joined forces over a year ago to create their D.C.-based retail space that offers a curated selection of makeup, hair, and skin-care products made by and for people of color. The business is a cooperative of Kimberly's Marjani Beauty , an online shop selling women of color-marketed makeup and skin-care products, and Amaya's Product Junkie , a collection of natural hair products from Black-owned brands. With Kimberly being a corporate healthcare attorney by background and Amaya, a former communications executive at a nonprofit, their partnership was birthed as a result of their frustration with the be

This Is What Angel Merino's Beauty Routine Looked Like For a Virtual Pride This Year

Image
Pride Month in June is something that members of the LGBTQ+ community look forward to all year. So, when COVID-19 interfered with this year's festivities, canceling all of the large-scale, in-person events and parades that have become synonymous with Pride, many people were understandably upset - especially coming after the all-out celebrations of Stonewall 50 WorldPride 2019 the year prior. "I was pretty bummed at all of the festivals across the country were canceled due to COVID," Angel Merino , megainfluencer and founder of Artist Couture , told POPSUGAR. "Pride is always something that's super near and dear to my heart personally, as a member of the LGBTQI community." But instead of calling it quits, Merino started brainstorming a way to celebrate Pride Month in a different way - virtually. "I wanted to still be able to celebrate Pride but also just make it about equality in general and really be supportive of not only the LGBTQI community but

Ciara Posted a Bikini Photo Wearing No Makeup, and the Pregnancy Glow Is So Real

Image
Nobody knows how to kick off the summer season quite like Ciara . The singer recently posted a series of photos on June 24 wearing a pink fringe bikini and no makeup - and we have one thing to say: it's not just the palm tree backdrop that's stunning. Really, people, the pregnancy glow is real . In another post the same day, she also shared a TikTok video of herself looking fresh-faced and happy, showing off her Spanish-speaking skills as she sang along to the chorus of "In My Feelings" by Juhn Star. This isn't the first time we've seen Ciara post a photo to Instagram without makeup. Last year, the singer posted a bare-faced photo of herself with no extensions, encouraging fans to embrace their natural beauty and share their "rawest selfies" (for the potential to be included in her project related to her Beauty Marks album). "No makeup. No extensions. Vulnerable. My Beauty Marks & all," she wrote in the photo's caption. "Th

Amandla Stenberg Did Their Own Box Braids Like a Pro in This Makeup Tutorial For Vogue

Image
It's no secret that Amandla Stenberg is a hair chameleon - they've proven time and time again that they can pull off any style, from braided bobs and twists to natural curls in various shades and colorful box braids . In a new beauty tutorial for Vogue , The Hate U Give actress revealed they had recently learned how to do their own box braids while in quarantine and walked us through every step, in addition to showing their simple skin-care and makeup routine. "I've been trying to figure out a braid look that feels kind of gender neutral, but still femme," Stenberg said, as they parted their hair into a triangle-inspired part. After two and a half to three hours of sectioning their hair, Stenberg then undid their bantu knots and moisturized their hair with DevaCurl's Supercream Coconut Curl Styler ($28). They then applied Cantu's Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel ($4) to keep everything sealed, and then looped their kanekalon around each sectioned piece
