All curls are not created equal . . . and all curly hair products aren't either. For example, if you have very curly hair that's fine and I have very curly hair that's thick , we would benefit from different products, even though we're both technically curly. Or, maybe you need help boosting volume (and that's a pass from me), whereas I have a dry scalp that needs extra hydration (and those things may make your hair feel oily). Figuring out how to manage even the different textures on our own individual heads is hard enough, but once we have that sorted, it's time to find something that can bring our curl types back to their ideal state of balance. One of the top brands for multitextured hair is Mizani (which actually means "balance" in Swahili).

And, even though its products are most

In a time where social distancing and working from home have become the current norm, the luxury of indulging in self-care practices during the day are less of a dream and more of a reality. Responding to emails, binge-watching TV shows, and even hopping on virtual happy hours can be done in the comfort of charcoal, avocado, and collagen. Beauty buffs rely on face masks to clean out pores, restore moisture to dry skin, rid complexions of impurities, and essentially be there for us when we need it most. Brands have come out with all kinds of formulas - including but not limited to - magnetic , bubble , and rubber masks that promise to leave skin looking better in no time at all. But is there such thing as masking too often? Could too much of a good thing be doing more harm than good?
