Best Fall Haircut Trends and Styles For 2025

Vacation days that aren’t confined to the white-plastered walls of your tiny apartment living room. But as the last few years have shown: societal norms are shifting. Now, it’s fall‘s turn to churn out haircut ideas that are equal parts breezy and bold — and they’re taking some inspiration from the past. Whereas historically the autumnal season saw an influx of polished cuts to match those crisp new wardrobes, those are exactly the types of styles to avoid these next few months. “We are seeing much more…

How to Treat Eczema on Every Part of Your Body
Eczema has a mind of its own. One week it’s a flaky patch on your arm; the next, it’s a stinging red spot near your eyes or behind your ears. And somehow, what works for one flare only makes another worse. That’s because the skin on different parts of your body varies in thickness and sensitivity, meaning eczema needs to be treated differently depending on where it appears. To help decode what works (and what doesn’t), board-certified dermatologists Tiffany Clay-Ramsey, MD, FAAD, and Chinonso Kagha Abisogun, MD, FAAD, explain how to tailor your routine based on location — plus the small, everyday mistakes that can make flare-ups worse.

In fact, I never saw the women in my own family lean into it until well into their 70s or 80s. My Abuela Celeste didn’t start rocking her grays until her 70s, after my grandfather passed away. Before that, she always sported these beautiful ginger tones that looked stunning against her olive skin. My mom didn’t actually start graying until her 50s, and even now, at 66, she’s still not quite ready to make the plunge of going fully gray. In recent years, though, we’ve seen…
