I Tried Sneex, the Viral Sneaker Heels by Spanx’s Founder
While each product featured is independently selected by our editors, we may include paid promotion. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels — largely attributed to Sara Blakely, the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex — happened by accident. “Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world’s most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her,” a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which…

Aimee Lou Wood Made Me Love My “Imperfect Smile”
Growing up in an environment with a parent who negatively commented on my appearance led to my inevitable self-doubt. My constant swirling thoughts told me that anything less than flawless is not to be tolerated. For most of my life, I struggled with my appearance — specifically my teeth. They had a mind of their own. Friends would attempt to make a discrete comment, saying things like: Why don’t you just get braces? What about Invisalign? And I would think to myself, what an odd thing to say to someone. Perhaps it was genuine curiosity, but it came across as an unnecessary comment that only fueled my anxiety. I began…

I Tried TikTok’s “Drop” Ponytail Hack on My Fine Hair
PS Photography | Renee RodriguezPS Photography | Renee Rodriguez While each product featured is independently selected by our editors, we may include paid promotion. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. My hair type is fine (and dry, if you care), and more often than not I wear it down and styled in a blowout or loose waves.

How Hair Salons Are Supporting Mental Health
Want the 411 on something? Ask your hairstylist. They’re the keeper of secrets. The salon is a sacred space rooted in the age-old practice of connection, like a real connection. We entrust them with our most intimate thoughts, share our most dramatic life events, and even get their opinion on our biggest dilemmas; naturally, the relationship between a stylist and a client is much more than a hair service. For many, the salon has long been a trusted sanctuary, but what if these casual chats could be transformed into intentional discussions about mental well-being? That’s precisely what psychologist, research scientist, and hair historian Afiya Mbilishaka, PhD, envisions with PsychoHairapy. This…
