Hair Care Guides

Hair advice for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair. The guides cover hair loss and shedding, scalp problems, dryness and breakage, porosity, heat and colour damage, protective styles, and what popular oils and treatments actually do.

Sudden or patchy hair loss can have a medical cause, so each guide says when it's worth seeing a GP or dermatologist.

Every article links to the studies and health bodies it draws on. Read our editorial policy.
