Jayda Wayda braids are the new style on the block. They’re similar to Coi Leray braids, but there are some key differences. The look is characterized by five (usually, but feel free to get creative here) long, chunky braids–two at the front and three at the back.

Set the scene… You’re getting ready for a glamorous, invitation-only event you’ve been looking forward to all year.

You’ll know as you walk in, knowing one else will have this dress.

French curl braids are the protective style making a comeback! This creative new style is the love-child of the classic box braid and boho-chic goddess braids, and can be achieved using sleek, silky (pre-curled) French curl braiding hair.

Have you heard of labor braids? What about labor twists, locs or cornrows?

Maybe you’re a little late to the game but labor braids have most definitely been a hot topic. Black women like us are giving serious thought to how we want to slay our hair, not just during pregnancy (remember those jaw-dropping pregnancy photoshoots?), but also when we’re ready to pop. You might think it’s a minor thing, but our hair always holds major importance in our lives, and labor is no exception.

We’ve all been loving Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The drama, the romance, the glamor, the costumes and of course, the hairstyles. It’s undeniable, the Black and biracial female cast members have been serving looks and it’s all we can think about! Since its release in early May the Netflix and Shondaland production has claimed its place as the most popular show across the UK and the USA, and amassed almost 60 million viewing hours in its second week.

The internet has a funny way of connecting us over shared woes and dramas, so we scoured Twitter and Insta to find the funniest and most relatable salon problems…
When you think of the salon what words come to mind? A late stylist, color gone wrong or just too much gossip? Yes, we’ve all had those salon experiences that are… less than pleasurable.

Let me introduce you to Windsor! Yes that Windsor, where Harry and Meghan got married and home to the late Queen’s favorite residence, Windsor Castle. Windsor is filled with royal charm and history, but it’s also where I spend weekends with family and friends, where I got my first job, where I go shopping and where I find myself on those random Saturday afternoons.

We took some time to quiz our Un-ruly co-founder (as well as seasoned PR and creative marketing professional), on her skincare routine, her thoughts on professional treatments and her go-to products.

Hustle culture has been stealing our joy for too long. Instagram has hammered the 24/7 hustle narrative into our brains — if you’re not working or using every minute of everyday productively, you’re doing something wrong.

Hair dilemmas! We’ve all had them or we’re going through one right now. It could be damage, dry scalp issues, a haircut gone wrong or maybe growing out an undercut. If you’ve got a hair woe that you’d like some advice on, you can get your question answered from one of our Yeluchi stylists.

Are you in the mood to add some length and volume to your tresses? You could try the classics like clip-ins or sew-in weaves, but have you thought of tape?
