We all hate that awkward phase—so let’s find a way to style it out    Embarking on a hair growth journey is like starting off on an adventure. We all love witnessing the dramatic transformations, from the jaw-dropping moment of someone trading their flowing locks for a blunt bob to the daring decision to chop it all into a pixie cut. It's a testament to the power of change and the courage it takes to embrace it, and you can’t knock it til you try it. The problem is, you’ve now tried it and are left wondering, why did I do it? But let's address the elephant in the room: the dreaded awkward phase. We've all been there, grappling with hair that seems to have a mind of its own, defying gravity and every attempt to tame it. And don't even get us started on bang regrowth. That in itself is like a whole other battle. It's a phase that tests our patience and challenges our creativity, but luck for us, we love a challenge.  Gone are the days of hiding under beanies and headscarves, my friend. We've curated a collection of 17 fabulous hairstyles specifically designed to ease you through every stage of growth with style and grace. Whether you're dealing with unruly bangs or stubborn bobs, these hairstyles are your secret weapon to conquering the transition with confidence. So, if you're ready to bid adieu to hair-related woes and welcome back your mane in all its glory, you're in the right place. It's time to transform those awkward phases into opportunities to slay, to own your style, and to look downright fabulous while doing it. Trust us, with the right hairstyle, anything is possible, and girl, we've seen it all.   How Long Does It Take for Hair to Grow? As easy as it may seem, there is certainly no definitive answer that suits every head of hair.  Before we take a walk into the world of fabulous hairstyles for growing our hair, let's address a common question that often pops up on this journey. How long does it take for hair to grow? Well, the answer isn't as straightforward as we might hope. On average, hair grows about half an inch per month, which translates to about six inches a year. However, this can vary depending on a multitude of factors such as genetics, age, overall health, and even the season. So while some lucky individuals may see rapid growth, others might experience a slower pace.  It’s all in the luck of the draw. Remember those girls in high school who chop into their locks from home and have an absolute hair faux pas moment? Then come back to school like it never even happened? Yeah, well, that’s a little something called luck. But fear not, regardless of the speed, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your hair growth journey with stylish and versatile hairstyles!   Hairstyles for hair that is growing out  Now, let's dive into the fun part—exploring our curated collection of 17 stunning hairstyles for growing out your hair. From chic updos to playful braids, we've got you covered at every turn. So grab your hairbrush and let's get started on this hair growth journey together. It's time to unleash your inner hair goddess and show the world what you're made of. Before we get to that, a word of advice: don't be afraid to experiment and make these hairstyles your own. After all, style is all about self-expression and embracing your unique beauty. So, without further ado, let's dive in and discover the hairstyles that will take your hair growth journey to the next level.   1) Switch up your hair part You may have had the same part since way back when, but changing up a parting can make that transitional phase a whole lot more manageable. Why stick to the same old part when you can switch things up and completely transform your look? Experiment with different partings to level up your style and effortlessly conceal awkward lengths. Whether you opt for a sleek center part, a deep side part, or a playful zigzag part, changing your hair part can make a world of difference. Oh, and a little top tip? Try the trusty ear tuck to hide away that awkward mid-length whilst it grows out. You know, the Edna Mode style that we’re all trying to steer away from. One minute we’re asking for an old money bob, and the next we're walking out as Willy Wonka—you can’t win them all.    2) Try using headwraps Vamp up your style with head wraps that not only make a bold fashion statement but also help disguise transitional lengths, or dodgy haircuts full stop. From bold prints to embellished designs, head wraps are ideal for adding a touch of drama and flair to your look while keeping your hair out of your face. Not only are they loved by everyone’s favorite RiRi, but they’re also perfect when you’re frolicking around the pool hiding from the sun. You do you, babe.   3) Have fun with hairpins Channel your inner artist by getting creative with hair pins and using them to dress your locks in super chic ways. Whether you opt for delicate floral pins, sparkling rhinestone pins, or trendy pearl pins, the possibilities are endless. Get playful with placement and experiment with different designs to add personality to your hairstyle. The best part about pins is you can use the old-school classic bobby pin as a secret weapon to hide those awkward bangs. They’re not a hairstylist's secret pin anymore! The clean girl aesthetic claims them, and we’re wearing them.    4) Hairbands can do wonders  As obvious as it may sound, hair bands are the saving grace with all awkward and transitional styles. It pushes your hair off your face when it's flapping around aimlessly, but also dresses it up when there is very little to be done. Accessorize with headbands to effortlessly elevate your hairstyle while concealing in-between layers. Whether you prefer classic fabric headbands, embellished designs, or French-girl chic pearl styles, headbands are perfect for adding a pretty and polished touch to your look.   Plus, they're a lifesaver on those days when your hair just won't cooperate, thank us later.   5) Embrace your natural texture with textured waves  Au natural is best. Yep, you heard that right. Showcase your hair's natural beauty with textured waves, adding volume and dimension to your growing locks. Whether you have naturally wavy hair or prefer to use a curling iron or wand like the TYME Iron Pro, textured waves are perfect for enhancing your hair's natural texture and creating a relaxed and effortless look.   6) Try half-up hairstyles  When in doubt, grab the top section of your hair and clip or tie it up. This is a foolproof method that’s super easy and works at almost every length. Keep hair off your face while showcasing your length with chic half-up styles that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you opt for a classic half-up ponytail, a stylish half-up top knot, or a romantic half-up braid, half-up hairstyles offer versatility and elegance in one effortless look.   7) Give yourself the perfect pony Don’t we all love an Ariana Grande pony? It’s sassy, it’s chic, and it hides all our troubles. Why don’t you try and achieve a sophisticated and polished look with a sleek ponytail that tames unruly strands? Whether you prefer a high ponytail, a low ponytail, or a sleek side ponytail, ponytails are perfect for adding sass and style to your look with minimal effort. Stuck with shorter hair? Perfect, add in a pony clip-in extension, and nobody will ever know.    8) Braids are your new best friend Whilst you wait for your hair to grow out, sometimes all we can do is just hold out. In this process, we recommend incorporating braids into your hairstyle repertoire for a touch of texture and charm while concealing shorter layers. Whether you opt for classic French braids, trendy fishtail braids, or boho-inspired milkmaid braids, braids are perfect for adding interest and personality to your look.   9) Messy buns do the trick  Get ready to channel your inner Kendall Jenner with effortlessly chic messy buns that exude laid-back elegance. These versatile styles are not just reserved for casual occasions, they're suitable for any event on your calendar, whether you're running errands, catching up with friends over brunch, or even strutting down the red carpet. And not to mention its ability to hide those awkward flyaways that come with a grown-out mid-length bob.  With messy buns, you can effortlessly transform your look with a touch of Kendall-approved style that's equal parts cool and sophisticated.   10) Add voluminous curls for a little drama Transform your hair from drab to fab with voluminous curls that serve as your ultimate style savior in navigating a bad haircut you'd rather forget. Whether you're battling awkward layers or attempting to disguise the fact that your hair is in the tricky growing-out phase, voluminous curls are here to rescue your locks.  From tight coils that redefine your mane's structure to loose waves exuding effortless allure, or voluminous ringlets stealing the spotlight, these curls aren't just about adding volume, they're about unleashing drama and glamor like a boss. Say farewell to hair woes and hello to mesmerizing curls that not only showcase your natural beauty but also effortlessly conceal any haircut mishaps.   11)  Slick it back for a sleek look Elevate your hair game to superstar status with sleek, slicked-back hairstyles that make hair gel your ultimate MVP. Just like Zendaya rocks the style effortlessly, your grown-out hair will adore the sleek sophistication of this look. Whether you're opting for a chic low bun, a fierce slicked-back ponytail, or a glamorous polished updo, slicked-back styles are your go-to for adding an air of sophistication and undeniable style to any occasion.  Oh, and gel works wonders in hiding any bad hair secrets, that’s a promise.    12) Accessorize all you like!  Step into the world of hair accessories where the options are so fabulous, even our 12-year-old selves would be swooning in jealousy. With hairstyles for hair that are growing out, the possibilities are endless, especially when bows are involved.  Bows are currently stealing the spotlight, and it's no wonder why. They effortlessly elevate any look with a touch of feminine charm, requiring absolutely zero amounts of effort. Plus, they're perfect for transitional styles, adapting seamlessly to any hair length and personal style.  So, why not add a dash of whimsy to your look with bows and embellished accessories? Whether you're rocking a playful bow headband, a bedazzled hair clip, or a sparkling barrette, these accessories are your ticket to expressing yourself and hiding away hair that won’t grow.    13) Add a bit of length with extensions Why settle for lackluster locks when you can unleash your inner goddess with hair extensions? Everyone loves an instant transformation (just like us in the salon chair six months ago), so why not give extensions a go while your hair grows out to perfection? Whether you're craving extra length, volume, or both, hair extensions are your ticket to hair dreams. Whether you prefer the convenience of clip-in extensions, the seamless look of tape-in extensions, or the long-lasting hold of sew-in extensions, these beauties are perfect for adding instant length and volume to your hairstyle with minimal effort.  So, why wait for your hair to catch up when you can slay the hair game right now with hair extensions? Sounds like a no-brainer to us.   14) Up your hat game When it comes to masking hair that's in the awkward growing-out phase, accessories will become your ultimate BFFL. And what better way to do it than with picture-perfect hats? No matter the season, there's a hat waiting to be worn, ready to level up your look to new heights. From trendy buckets to classic fedoras, the world of hats is your oyster, offering endless possibilities to amp up your style game.  So, why not add flair to your look with a stylish hat that not only conceals shorter layers but also adds a fashionable touch?

There's nothing quite as disheartening as feeling like your hair growth journey is at a standstill, but don’t worry. If you're experiencing a lack of hair growth, you're not alone.  Several factors can contribute to this frustrating phenomenon, from internal imbalances to external stressors. Here are some common reasons why your hair growth may not be doing what you want it to…  Nutritional deficiencies A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals is very important for healthy hair growth. Nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, biotin, vitamins A and E, and omega-3 fatty acids play key roles in maintaining the health and vitality of your hair. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to weakened hair follicles and slowed growth. Ouch!    Hormonal imbalances As if we don’t have enough problems, now it’s stopping us from living our Blake Lively alter egos? Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders, can impact hair growth cycles and even cause hair loss (cry). Hormonal imbalances may lead to excessive shedding or stunted growth, leaving your hair looking thin, brittle, and craving for length.   Stress and lifestyle factors If you put yourself through the wringer, chances are, it’s having an impact on your trust locks, too. High levels of stress, poor sleep quality, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can take a toll on your hair health. Chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding and slower growth.  Additionally, habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can impair circulation to the scalp, preventing nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. So no more midweek parties. It’s time to look after yourself.    Environmental damage City girlies, who’s with us? Pollution ruins your hair, as much as being in the sun! Exposure to harsh environmental factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and extreme weather conditions can damage the hair cuticle, inhibit growth, and even cause breakage! Yuck. UV rays can weaken the hair shaft and cause dryness and breakage, while pollution particles can clog the scalp pores, leading to inflammation and hair loss. So next time you’re jetting off for your summer vacay, remember your hair needs protection too.    Overprocessing and chemical damage If we haven’t told you enough, those bleaching days from yesteryears are the ENEMY (not just because of the photograph proof) but they damage your hair like no tomorrow. Chemical treatments like bleaching, dyeing, and perming can compromise the structural integrity of the hair, leading to breakage, split ends, and overall damage.  Overuse of heat styling tools can also weaken the hair shaft and disrupt the hair growth cycle, resulting in slower growth and diminished volume. So put down the iron. It’s time for some tender loving care and some gentle beauty.    Above all else, always check the ingredients  Before you start splurging and running around the store on a hair quest to restore your long locks to health, take a moment to decode the magic within each bottle. By scrutinizing the ingredients, you're not just unlocking the secrets to healthier hair, you're ensuring your hair fairytale will flow as it should. Remember to keep in mind the products that are right for your hair, and prevent doing the things that aren’t (AKA those extra shots). As you journey towards your own version of Rapunzel's castle (minus the locked-up part), get ready for a long adventure ahead of you. All takes a bit of patience and some self-care, and hair magic awaits. 

Who got the memo for 2024? Big hair, don’t care The ‘80s called, and they want their hair back. Just joking, it never went anywhere. Big hair will *never* go out of style, but some of us just can’t get it big enough. Are you ready to add some oomph to your hair game? Whether you're rocking a sleek bob or cascading curls, there's no denying that there will always be a dream of having voluminous locks. From runway models to Hollywood icons, big, bouncy hair has always been a symbol of looking damn good on the runway. But for those of us with fine or thin strands, achieving that coveted volume can feel like an uphill battle—and sadly, you can’t change your hair follicles. If you were born with thin hair, no product can change that. It’s genetics.  But, there are things you can do to add that bit of oomph by yourself. We’re going headfirst into the world of hair volume to bring you nine tried-and-true tips that will instantly boost your mane's volume and take your style to new heights.  Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of hair volumizing techniques, let's take a moment to appreciate the journey that brought us here. From the iconic 80s bouffants to modern-day beachy waves, the search for voluminous hair has been a timeless pursuit. And while trends may come and go, one thing remains constant—big, beautiful hair is a need, not a want.  So, whether you're gearing up for a night out on the town or just want to inject some va-va-voom into your everyday look, sit back, relax, and get ready to unlock the secrets to hair volume that lasts.   How to increase hair volume at home  Ever heard the phrase ‘size doesn't matter’? Well in this instance, it really does. But, you're on a mission for volume, where do you start? Fear not, we've got you covered with a mixture of tips and tricks to help you achieve hair that's as full as your social calendar. From salon-worthy styling to going blonde, here are all the tips to give you bigger-than-ever hair.    1. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner We have said it before, but we’ll say it again—your choice of shampoo and conditioner sets the foundation for any hair type, let alone voluminous hair. Look for products specifically formulated to add body and fullness to your hair, to ensure there’s added oomph, even before styling. These formulas often contain ingredients like proteins and polymers that coat the hair shaft, creating the appearance of thicker strands.  We recommend, when washing your hair, focus the shampoo at the roots to remove excess oil and product buildup, wash twice, and then use conditioner sparingly to avoid weighing down your hair—and leaving it limp and lifeless.    2. Blow-dry like a pro Now, we all love a salon blowout, but isn’t it impossible to get the same feeling at home? Wrong. The blow dryer is your secret weapon for achieving salon-worthy volume at home, but you need to do it right.   Start by rough-drying your hair with a towel to remove excess moisture, then reach for a big barrel brush to create lift and volume at the roots. Choose a brush with natural bristles for smoothness and nylon bristles for added tension and bounce.  Divide your hair into sections and use the brush to lift each section at the roots while directing the airflow from the blow dryer downwards. Once your hair is dry, switch to the cool setting to set the style and lock in all that volume. Perfect!   3. Tease, tease, tease Now, by this, we don’t mean the Amy Winehouse-era beehive backcomb style, we mean gentle teases for added height. Backcombing or teasing is a classic technique for adding instant volume to your hair, but always use a fine comb to do so. Start by sectioning off your hair and spraying a volumizing spray at the roots for added grip. Then, grab a fine-tooth comb to gently backcomb sections of hair at the roots, working from the underside of the hair towards the scalp. Once you've created the desired volume, smooth the surface with a paddle brush to polish the look and keep those flyaways at bay. We’re going for the sleek look, not the beehive look, so the paddle brush is your best friend.    4. Invest in quality styling tools  When it comes to achieving voluminous hair, the right tools are VERY important. Invest in a high-quality blow dryer with multiple heat and speed settings to customize your styling routine for various looks. Look for a round brush with a large barrel for creating lift at the roots and smoothness throughout the lengths of your hair. And finally, add some extra bounce and lift, by incorporating big Velcro rollers into your styling routine to set your hair after blow-drying. Are those not cutting it? For added versatility, opt for a curling iron or wand with interchangeable barrels that allow you to create different types of curls and waves for more depth and fun!    5. Play with product The right styling products can make a world of difference when it comes to adding volume to your hair. Start with a volumizing mousse or foam applied to damp hair to create a foundation for volume to hold when styled. Then, apply a root-lifting spray or powder at the roots for added lift and texture.  Your beauty secret which is a *must* have in any future voluminous hair girlie? Hairspray! Finish with a lightweight hairspray every single time or a texturizing spray to lock in your style while maintaining flexibility and movement.   6. Layer your haircut No, not a pixie cut, just some choppy layers that can hold style and give you volume. Not necessarily a tip to be done from home, but still one that’s worthy of the list. A well-executed haircut can work wonders for adding volume to your hair—just ask your stylist to incorporate layers into your cut to create movement and texture, making your hair appear thicker and fuller. We recommend going for shorter layers around the crown and face-framing layers to add volume and dimension to your style. It’s bang season anyway, so this is your excuse to run, don’t walk. Along with layers, regular trims every 6-8 weeks will also help to maintain the shape and integrity of your haircut, preventing split ends and breakage—and keeping your hair packed with volume.   7. Opt for lighter hair colors Again, put the bleach down, this one’s for the professionals. Lighter hair colors can create the illusion of thicker hair by reflecting more light and adding dimension to your strands.  Why not try adding highlights, balayage, or ombre techniques to your next salon appointment to create depth and texture.  Work with your colorist to choose shades that complement your skin tone and enhance your natural features, creating a customized look that's uniquely you. Oh, and we’re in Spring now, it’s almost summer, so now is the time to do it.    8. Don't skip the dry shampoo Ah, any beauty lover's go-to weapon for those no-wash hair days. Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for giving you that hair wash-in-a-bottle look, but did you know, it also adds a heap load of volume? Look for a lightweight formula that absorbs excess oil and adds lift to the roots without leaving behind any residue. Apply the dry shampoo to the roots and massage it with your fingertips to distribute the product evenly. Finish by brushing through your hair to remove any excess powder and enjoy instantly refreshed and volumized locks.   9. Finish with a volumizing spray You’ve done all this work getting your hair as big as it can be, but here’s the kicker—you need to use product to set it! To lock in your new voluminous style and add extra hold, finish with a lightweight volumizing spray or finishing spray. These products are designed to provide long-lasting hold and support while adding texture and volume to your hair.  Hold the spray bottle 8-10 inches away from your head and mist evenly over your finished style, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths for maximum lift and volume.   Whether you go big, or go home, just look after it  Remember, achieving voluminous hair isn't just about styling—it's also about nourishing and caring for your strands.

Whether it’s age related or due to your slick back bun, you’re not alone when it comes to hair thinning at your temples  Did you know that we can lose between 50 and 100 hairs every day, often without even noticing? Now that’s a staggering statistic that highlights the constant cycle of hair shedding that our bodies undergo, but for many, it’s the reality. Whether these hairs end up tangled in our hairbrushes, scattered on our pillows, or simply drift away unnoticed, the fact is, that hair loss is a natural and ongoing process for many of us—and something we can’t shy away from.  This daily shedding may seem alarming at first glance, but it's important to recognize that it's a normal part of the hair growth cycle. As old hairs reach the end of their lifespan, they make way for new ones to take their place—a hair awakening if you may. So, if you've ever worried about the handful of strands that seem to fall out every time you run your fingers through your hair, rest assured, it happens to everyone. But here's the thing—while this daily shedding is perfectly normal, there are other factors at play that can contribute to hair loss, and they might not be as innocent as they first seem. Take, for example, those sleek and stylish hairstyles we've been rocking for the last few years—the slicked-back ponytails, the Sofia Richie buns, and the Kim Kardashian gelled-back hairlines. Sure, they may give us that instant "wow" factor, but they also come with a hidden cost. Over time, the constant pulling and tension from these hairstyles can take a toll on our natural hairline, leading to hair loss and thinning in areas like the temples.  So while trends may come and go, it's our hair that's left facing the consequences—and we’re here to get to the root cause and get some answers, once and for all.    Why is my hair thinning at the temples? Let’s find out Hair loss, particularly at the temples, can be a distressing experience for many individuals. Not only does it affect our physical appearance, but it can also impact our self-esteem and confidence levels. If you've noticed thinning or receding hair around your temples, and you’ve recently been using a shadow pallet to fill it in—this is for you.  There are several common causes of hair loss in this area, ranging from lifestyle factors to underlying health conditions. Let's take a look into five of the most common causes and explore effective treatments to address them. 1. Genetics A significant factor in hair loss at the temples is genetic predisposition (that’s right, it’s your parents fault). Whilst that is a common joke in families, if you have a family history of hair thinning or baldness, you may be more likely to experience similar issues. This genetic predisposition can lead to a condition known as androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness—which typically results in progressive hair loss around the temples and crown of the head. While we can't change our genetic makeup, understanding our family history can help us prepare for and manage any potential hair loss. 2. Hormonal changes Like us girlies don’t go through ENOUGH…Hormonal fluctuations can also play a significant role in hair loss, particularly in women. Changes in hormone levels, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders, can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to temporary or permanent hair loss. For example, during pregnancy, elevated levels of estrogen can prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, resulting in thicker, more luxurious hair. However, after childbirth, hormone levels normalize, and many women experience significant shedding, known as postpartum hair loss. Ever heard your mum say her hair isn’t the same since having you? She was right all along—and now we’re going through it! Similarly, hormonal imbalances associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid dysfunction can cause hair thinning and loss at the temples. 3. Stress and lifestyle factors Now, we aren’t talking about a text-back drama kind of stress, so do not panic! Chronic stress, poor dietary habits, and lifestyle factors can all take a huge toll on our hair health and contribute to hair loss at the temples. High-stress levels can trigger a condition known as telogen effluvium, where a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase at the same time and cause shedding. That’s right, not just hair brush shedding, we mean pillow shedding, styling shedding—hair thinning all over (not ideal). Additionally, scientists also note that nutritional deficiencies, such as iron or vitamin D deficiency, can impair hair growth and contribute to hair thinning.  We recommend adopting stress-reduction techniques (hello yoga), maintaining a balanced diet (goodbye cheetos), and prioritizing your self-care to help promote healthy hair growth and minimize your risks of hair loss. Bceuase we needed an excuse for some TLC? Yeah, right! 4. Traction Alopecia Have you ever admired a tight, Ariana Grande-worthy ponytail or opted for a slicked-back top knot on a busy morning or after a few days of relying on your trusty dry shampoo? These clean-girl era hairstyles, while chic and convenient, can unknowingly contribute to hair thinning and loss over time. Traction alopecia is a condition caused by this persistent pulling or tension on the hair follicles, particularly around the temples and hairline. Styles like tight ponytails, braids, and extensions (if done incorrectly) can exert constant pressure on the scalp, leading to damage and eventual hair loss. Along with this, excessive use of heat styling tools can make the problem worse. Have you ever noticed an increase in hair fall after using those straightening irons from the noughties? Overheating your strands or too much heat styling can weaken the hair shaft and compromise its integrity, making it more prone to breakage and thinning. Which is why our TYME iron pro was made to cut the styling time in half!  Protecting your hair from any potential threats is needed for maintaining its strength and vitality. By avoiding tight hairstyles and minimizing heat exposure, you can safeguard your locks against traction alopecia and promote healthier hair growth in the long run. 5. Underlying health conditions In some cases, hair loss at the temples may be a symptom of an underlying health condition or medical issue that needs to be treated. Conditions such as alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss, or scalp infections like ringworm or folliculitis, can lead to inflammation and hair loss around the temples—so if you look after your scalp, care for your hair, and this is still happening—reach out to your doctor.  If you weren’t going through a lot already, it is also worth noting that certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs or those used to treat autoimmune diseases, can cause hair thinning as a side effect.  Please, please, seek medical advice for an accurate diagnosis, and never self diagnose yourself. We know it can get scary on the internet, but sometimes your scalp may just need a little bit of nourishment and TLC. You got this.    Long-term hair-loss treatments for hair thinning at temples While addressing the underlying causes of your hair loss is necessary to get to the root cause, implementing long-term treatments can help promote sustained hair regrowth—and prevent further thinning.  Here are some effective strategies that we would recommend investing in to save those tresses.  1. Topical treatments Over-the-counter topical treatments, such as minoxidil (Rogaine), can help stimulate hair growth and improve the density of thinning hair. These treatments are applied directly to the scalp and are available in various strengths, depending on the severity of hair loss. It's essential to follow the instructions provided and use these treatments consistently for the best results. We recommend daily usage, and massaging it gently into clean, dry hair.  2. Oral medications  Oral medications, such as finasteride (Propecia), may be prescribed to individuals experiencing genetic hair loss, but it's mostly given out for male pattern baldness.  Finasteride works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair follicle shrinkage and hair loss. While effective, it's important to discuss potential side effects and risks with a healthcare professional before starting this medication as it isn’t recommended for some of us girls and definitely not for those planning to become pregnant. Do your research girlies! 3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy This is probably one of the biggest things on the market for hair loss right now, and it’s taking social media by storm. PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood into the scalp. It’s conducted by taking a vial of blood from your arm, spinning it into a machine, and injecting the ‘liquid gold’ directly to the scalp. The growth factors present in PRP help stimulate hair follicle activity, promote hair growth, and improve overall hair density.  While multiple treatment sessions may be required, PRP therapy brings significant improvements in hair thickness and coverage—but can come at a hefty cost. Do some digging for the best prices and approved doctors.  4. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Another Insta trend coming thick and fast for the hair loss girlies is LLLT. Also known as red light therapy or cold laser therapy, it is a non-invasive treatment option that uses low-level laser light to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth. This therapy can be administered at home using FDA-approved devices or in clinical settings under the guidance of a healthcare professional.  While individual results may vary, LLLT has been shown to be effective in improving hair density and reducing hair loss. Oh, and red light works wonders on your skin, so invest in a good laser machine and you’ve got yourself the perfect skincare routine sorted. Thank us later. 5. Nutritional supplements This one may not come as a shock, but keeping yourself healthy on the inside is one of the most important things to remember. Nutritional supplements containing essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids can support overall hair health and promote hair growth. Key nutrients for hair growth include biotin, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and protein—and by incorporating these supplements into your daily routine, you can help address nutritional deficiencies that may be the reason behind those first signs of hair thinning. All of these long-term treatments, once added into your hair care regimen, can support healthy hair growth and combat hair thinning at the temples effectively. But, we truly recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment to ensure that it's safe and appropriate for your personal needs.   Keep yourself healthy and your hair will follow  In addition to medical interventions, there are several proactive steps you can take to support hair health and minimize any further loss. Practicing good scalp hygiene, avoiding harsh chemical treatments, and protecting your hair from excessive heat and styling damage can all help maintain the integrity of your hair follicles.  We also recommend adding in some nutrient-rich foods to your diet and staying hydrated with plenty of H20. Stocking up on all the superfoods and water can provide the essential vitamins and minerals that your hair is lacking.  While hair loss at the temples can be a challenging issue to navigate, it's important to remember that you're NOT alone—and there are resources and support available to help you along the way. Whether you choose to explore medical treatments, adopt a cleaner, greener lifestyle, or seek emotional support from your friends, know that there is hope for restoring your hair health back to how it once was.   Your haircare is a journey, not a destination  As we've explored the various causes of hair thinning at the temples and learned about effective treatments, it’s important to note that our hair's health is a journey—not a destination. From hormonal changes to lifestyle factors, there are many influences on our hair's growth and vitality that come thick and fast with daily life. Rather than viewing hair thinning as a setback, we can choose to see it as an opportunity for growth, self-care, and some ‘me-time’,  So, whether you're experiencing hair thinning at the temples or simply seeking to enhance your hair's strength and beauty—remember, our hair is a reflection of our overall well-being, and investing in its health is an investment in ourselves. Here's to healthy, vibrant hair and growing back those wispy temples. P.S. For now, we heard through the grapevine that root touch-up fixes those temples perfectly for your big night out. 

We’ve all seen our hair go from fab to drab in an instance—well, you have your hair’s porosity to thank for that.   Are you tired of the endless cycle of trying out different hair care products, only to be left disappointed when they don't deliver the results you're looking for? If so, you're not alone. Many of us have been there, conditioning and moisturizing like no tomorrow, only to find our hair still plagued by dryness and frizz. But fear not—there might be a solution you haven't considered yet—and that’s the wild and wonderful world of understanding your hair's porosity. Porosity is your hair's ability to retain and absorb moisture—an extremely important factor in determining its overall health and appearance. While genetics are usually to blame for your hair porosity (thanks mum), other factors such as chemical treatments, environmental conditions, and heat styling can also influence it—oh, and those bleaching days of the past? Well, there’s your culprit.  Like your hair type, knowing your hair porosity is also needed for selecting the right products and ingredients to address your hair's unique needs. It's this insider knowledge that empowers you to make informed decisions about your hair care routine, from choosing the best conditioners to determining which styling techniques will give you the best results. Whether you're battling frizz or seeking hydration, understanding your hair porosity is the key to unlocking your hair's full potential. So, if you're ready to break free from the cycle of trial and error and take control of your hair once and for all—you've come to the right place. Bad hair days no more, let’s take a walk down the hall of hair porosity fame and discover how understanding this fundamental concept can transform your hair game for the better.   What is hair porosity? Before we dive into why hair porosity is essential, let's first understand and break down what it actually means and what it is. Hair porosity refers to your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture—and essentially, it determines how well your strands can soak up and hold onto the products you apply, influencing everything from hydration levels to styling results. So if your curls are dropping or your hair takes too long to dry, chances are it’s down to its level of porosity. Hair porosity is typically categorized into three main types—low porosity, medium porosity, and high porosity. To put it plain and simple, imagine your hair as a sponge—just like a sponge absorbs and holds onto water, your hair absorbs and retains moisture. Now, picture three different sponges—one with tightly packed holes, one with medium-sized holes, and one with large holes. These sponges represent low, medium, and high porosity hair, respectively.    The sponge with tightly packed holes (low porosity hair) struggles to absorb water, while the one with large holes (high porosity hair) quickly soaks up water but struggles to retain it. Finally, the medium porosity sponge strikes a balance between the two, absorbing and holding onto water effectively. It all comes down to which sponge you are, and understanding your hair's porosity is like knowing which one you’re working with. As the high-maintenance queen it is, when it's given the right hair care routine for its needs, then it will shine the night away (and do as it’s told).   Why is hair porosity important? Hair porosity affects how your strands interact with products, meaning that using the wrong products can lead to lackluster results or even damage, breakage, and all the things we do not want. For instance, girlies with low porosity hair may struggle to absorb moisture effectively, resulting in product buildup and frizz. On the other hand, those with high porosity hair may find that their strands quickly lose moisture, leading to dryness and breakage and craving those nourishing oils.  Think of it this way—if you have a straw with holes in it, you can easily take in liquid, but you can't retain it. Once you remove the straw from the liquid, it all runs out. Similarly, high-porosity hair quickly absorbs moisture but struggles to retain it, leading to dryness and frizz. By getting to grips with these simple analogies on your hair's porosity, you are then set up to select the best possible products and haircare techniques to nourish those tresses.    How to test hair porosity Now that we've covered how important hair porosity is, let’s take a look at how to work out your hair's porosity level accurately. There are several methods you can try at home to assess your hair's porosity, from simple observations to more hands-on tests—and we’ve done all the digging to get them for you. There is an old-age method involving placing a strand of clean, dry hair in a bowl of water and observing how it behaves—and if the hair sinks quickly, it likely has high porosity, while if it floats, it may have low porosity.  Experiment with different techniques to find the one that works best for you.   Hair porosity test—the float test There are some simple ways you can test your hair's porosity at home, and all you need are two things—a glass of water (use a clear glass) and a strand of hair (yours, of course).  We recommend that you try this after washing with a clarifying shampoo to remove any product and build-up from your strands, as this will give you the most accurate reading. Start by combing your hair to release strands that are shedding, and then take those stands and drop them into your glass of water. Hair that is low porosity will float. Hair that is 'normal' porosity will float and then begin to sink slowly. Hair that is high porosity will sink immediately. Determining your hair porosity will inform your product decisions and hair care routine so your hair gets the moisture it needs.    Consideration for curly and wavy hair Curly girls be aware! While hair porosity is important for all hair types, curly and wavy hair girlies should especially be knowledgeable of their porosity type as curly hair tends to dry out more easily (sigh). Curly hair has a natural tendency for dryness because the natural oils your scalp produces can travel down the strand of straight hair much easier than a curly one. So, even with healthy and normal porous hair, moisture is always essential to keep those curls glossy and shining.    The strand test Another option for at-home porosity testing is the strand test, which works especially well if you have curly hair (we got you). To perform the strand test, gently stretch a tiny section of curl strands from different areas of your head—front hairline, crown, or temple.  Place the stretched curl between your thumb and finger and slide it up the hair strand from the tip towards your scalp. If your fingers move easily up the strand and it feels dense and hard, you have low porosity hair. If it feels smooth, you have normal porosity hair, and if the strand feels rough, dry, or breaks, you have high porosity hair—sadly.  You don’t have to be a hair salon expert to learn about the ins and outs of your hair, by performing these simple tests at home, you can gain valuable insights into your hair's porosity level—allowing you to tailor your hair care routine to its high maintenance behavior. Whether your hair is low, normal, or high porosity, understanding its unique characteristics is the first step towards achieving healthy, hydrated, and vibrant locks, and it’s all worth the wait.    Caring for different types of porosity If you’ve got this far, then you’re at the part that everyone wants to know—how to care for this newfound porosity of my hair? Each porosity type presents its own challenges and problems, which means tailored care is always recommended.  Here's how to effectively care for each type of hair: Low porosity hair – Opt for lightweight, water-based products to prevent buildup and promote moisture absorption. – Incorporate clarifying shampoos to remove buildup and enhance moisture penetration. – Utilize heat during deep conditioning treatments to open the hair cuticle and facilitate moisture absorption. – Avoid heavy oils and butters that may exacerbate buildup and weigh down the hair. Medium porosity hair – Seek products that offer a balanced blend of hydration and strengthening ingredients. – Regularly indulge in deep conditioning treatments to maintain optimal moisture levels and prevent dryness or damage. – Exercise caution with heavy products to avoid buildup and maintain hair's natural balance. High porosity hair – Embrace rich, emollient products such as creams, butters, and oils to seal moisture into the hair shaft. – Integrate protein treatments to strengthen the hair and minimize breakage. – Limit heat styling and exposure to harsh chemicals to mitigate further damage and moisture loss. So, girl, now that you're armed with the lowdown on your hair's porosity, it's time for you to get involved with some serious self-care! Embracing your hair's unique needs is like unlocking a secret weapon in your beauty arsenal, and when you’ve cracked it—you’re on the home run. At the end of the day, it’s all about experimenting with different products and techniques until you find that magical combo that makes your hair sing. Don't be afraid to get a little adventurous and try out new products or styling methods—because, after all, TLC is what us girlies thrive off, right? So, go forth, and show those strands some love. With the right approach and a sprinkle of confidence, you'll be well on your way to achieving the luscious locks of your dreams.    Washing your hair based on its porosity We’ve worked out your hair porosity, conquered how to test hair porosity from home, and got some new TLC secrets—but let’s get down and dirty (literally) with how to wash your strands. Each and every person's makeup of their hair is made differently, and they all need nourishment in a variety of ways.  Low porosity hair – Low porosity hair tends to be resistant to water and product absorption, so it's essential to use warm water when washing to help open up the hair cuticle and allow products to penetrate. – Choose lightweight, water-based shampoos and conditioners that won't weigh your hair down or cause buildup. – Consider incorporating a clarifying shampoo into your routine to remove any product residue and prevent buildup, which can hinder moisture absorption. Medium porosity hair – Medium porosity hair is considered the most balanced, requiring a moderate amount of moisture and protein. – Opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners to maintain your hair's natural balance. – Use lukewarm water when washing your hair to avoid stripping away natural oils and causing dryness. High porosity hair – High porosity hair tends to lose moisture quickly, so it's essential to use hydrating, nutrient-rich shampoos, and conditioners to help replenish lost moisture. – Consider incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your routine to help repair and strengthen the hair cuticle. – Use cool or cold water when washing your hair to help seal the hair cuticle and lock in moisture. Regardless of your hair's porosity level, it's essential to avoid over-washing, as this can strip away natural oils and lead to dryness and damage. Aim to wash your hair no more than two to three times a week, and always follow up with a nourishing conditioner to help maintain moisture balance and keep your strands at bay.  By tailoring your washing routine to your hair's porosity level, you can ensure that you're providing the best possible care for your locks, leaving them healthy, hydrated, and full of life.   Heat styling and hair porosity—finding the balance Ah, the allure of heat styling—the secret weapon in our beauty arsenal for achieving those Instagram-worthy locks. But for those of us with high porosity hair, the sizzle of the curling iron or flat iron can often come with a side of anxiety(and stress). Our hair, with its thirsty nature, is more prone to damage from heat exposure, leaving us caught in a dilemma: to style or not to style? It's a conundrum many of us face daily, balancing our desire for sleek, voluminous locks with the fear of causing irreparable harm.  But fear not, for there is hope on the horizon. By understanding the unique needs of high porosity hair and arming ourselves with the right tools, techniques and care, we can navigate the world of heat styling with confidence and finesse. So, grab your favorite heat protectant, fire up that styling tool, and find yourself the perfect balance between style and hair health. Heat styling can be a game-changer when it comes to achieving the perfect hairstyle, but for those of us with high porosity hair, it can also be a double-edged sword. While the right protectants can help cut out damage, the truth is that excessive heat exposure can still wreak havoc on our delicate strands—but that's where the TYME Iron Pro steps in as a lifesaver. Our flat iron is a game-changer for anyone seeking flawless hairstyles in a flash (hello lie-in mornings).
