• Hair loss is a common condition that is said to impact 40 percent of women in the US by the age of 40.
• The condition has been a big topic of conversation since it was identified as a long term side effect of COVID-19.
• Celebrities Alyssa Milano, Jada Pinkett Smith, and more have opened up about their experiences with hair loss.

For years, the condition was considered something to hide and worry about in private, often leading to shame for millions of people around the world. Luckily, many celebrities have started breaking down those stigmas by revealing their personal experiences with hair loss. The causes behind each person's story varied: some have dealt with traction alopecia from wearing too-tight hairstyles, while many others experienced shedding as a lingering side effect of COVID-19.

This is normal: "Hair fallout (or shedding) [is] triggered as a result of sudden shock to a body function," Bridgette Hill, certified trichologist and founder of Root Cause Scalp Analysis, previously told POPSUGAR. "It can be stress induced, hormonally, mentally, nutritionally, or physically induced." Hair loss on the other hand is when "something stops hair from growing," according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association. The causes for hair loss can be hereditary, due to harsh hair-care products, or an immune system overreaction, amongst other causes.

Still, stars speaking up about their experiences helps normalize the reality of hair loss and, hopefully, inspire action instead of grief. Keep reading to see which celebrities have gotten real about hair fallout, along with what they've been doing to help.

While Julia Fox's Ye-influenced attire at Paris Fashion week certainly incited a buzz, the fixation was on the dramatic smoky eye she consistently wore throughout each appearance. As she attended parties and shows arm-in-arm with Kanye West, the Uncut Gems actor accompanied each of her out-there outfits with bold graphic liner looks slightly different than the last.

On Sunday, Fox was first seen wearing dark winged shadow to complement her Canadian tuxedo ensemble, which she then extended all the way up to her brow line later that night. The next day, she once again wore graphic eyeliner, this time with a more abstract wing.

Though makeup artist Daniel Kolaric was credited for Fox's makeup at PFW, Fox shared a behind-the-scenes photo of West applying her eyeliner to her Instagram. "Wanna kno [sic] who my fave makeup artist is?" she captioned the snap. Perhaps West was only responsible for evening touch-ups? Ahead, see Fox's 'gram and get a closer look at her extreme smoky eye looks at Paris Fashion Week.

If there's one thing Dr. Barbara Sturm knows, it's skin care and science. OK, that's two things, but this doctor knows - and combines - them both in her medical background and her beauty treatments. With experience in anti-inflammatory medicine and a focus on nonsurgical antiaging skin treatments, Dr. Sturm created her Molecular Cosmetics skincare line to include everything from eye creams to enzyme cleansers, all using nonaggressive ingredients.

Lucky for us, that means these luxe, scientifically proven products are available to help common woes like dryness, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging - and can be found right at Sephora. They're already popular with celebrities and POPSUGAR editors alike, so will you be next? Shop the brand's top beauty products for healthy, glowing skin ahead.

I consider my oily skin a blessing and a curse. I rarely have to deal with dryness, but I'm saddled with chronically clogged pores. I've tried just about every pore-cleaning product out there - from high-end liquid exfoliants to clay masks - but nothing has ever made much of a difference. Even those popular peel-off nose strips never did anything for me.

One beauty product I have become a big fan of its original Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch ($13 for 36 patches). These pimple patches have worked wonders for my acne, another condition I deal with frequently as a member of the oily skin club. So naturally, I was the first to volunteer to try the new Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose ($18 for 10 patches). Like the pimple patches I know and love, these nose-sized stickers are made from medical-grade hydrocolloid, a material that draws out oil and debris while promoting healing.

True story: I was so excited about the prospect of clearer pores that I tested these patches out within hours of receiving them in the mail. Keep reading for my full review.

• Halsey has over 38 tattoos covering her body.
• The singer has always been pretty open about the meaning behind each of their designs.
• They have tattoos for their fans, as well as matching ink with their partner.

If you follow Halsey on Instagram, then you know just how many tattoos the singer has. Or, rather, you know they have a lot, but it's hard to keep track of the exact number because her body art is seemingly never-ending. (Halsey's arms alone hold over 10 pieces of ink.) Every time they post a new selfie or bikini picture, you get a glimpse at the seas of tattoos that cover their entire body.

Unlike some stars who keep their ink hidden, Halsey has always shown off her tattoos and been pretty open about the meaning behind each one. According to our calculations, Halsey has over 38 tattoos, making them one of the most decorated pop singers. Some of Halsey's tattoos are self-explanatory - like the word "NIGHTMARE" tattooed on their spine after her hit song - but other pieces of artwork are more obscure. They also has two tiny stars on the side of their head and a small cartoon with the thought bubble "I wonder if they'll remember me," on their forearm - however, they're hard to see in photographs.

If you're curious what each of Halsey's tattoos mean, we rounded up all of them ahead. Keep scrolling for a complete guide to Halsey's tattoos and their meanings.

• Neutrogena launched a new complexion product called the Clear Coverage CC Cream.
• The $13 CC cream comes in 34 shades and contains niacinamide.
• One editor tested the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream and was able to skip concealer.

I woke up very tired today. Around 4 a.m., there was a loud noise outside my apartment (presumably from a passing car), and I couldn't fall back to sleep, meaning I didn't get as much shut-eye as I normally do - and it showed. When I'm tired, my skin does a terrible job of hiding it. My complexion gets blotchy and dull, my eyes and eyelids get red, and don't even get me started on my blue undereye bags. If I'm going to disguise just how exhausted I am, I need some good makeup, and the new Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream ($13) fits the bill.

Admittedly, I'm not a huge foundation fan, but I do have a sweet spot in my heart for CC creams. The name stands for color-correcting cream, and it's perfect for improving your skin's tone and reducing redness. These products also often include skin-loving ingredients. For example, the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream contains niacinamide, which is a powerhouse ingredient for brightening discoloration and keeping skin free of breakouts. These formulas typically boast medium to full coverage but with a lightweight feel.

The Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream is oil and fragrance free and offers buildable full coverage with a matte finish. It's supposed to camouflage and blur imperfections and blemishes without irritating skin or causing future breakouts. The product also comes in 34 shades, which is the most expansive shade range in Neutrogena's portfolio yet.

I found the shade "Cool Beige 2.5" to be a great match for my skin tone. When I applied the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream, I decided to put a dab of the product on the back of my hand and then smear it onto my cheeks, forehead, and chin. Immediately out of the tube, you can see just how full coverage the formula is, as one swipe completely covers the area. To blend, I used a damp makeup sponge with minimal effort and was able to spread the product evenly on my face in a matter of seconds.

A tiny bit of product - about the size of a pencil-eraser head - was enough to cover my entire face. One layer of the product gave me great, even coverage. I noticed immediately how smooth my skin looked and how the redness on my cheeks and around my eyes was neutralized. Because I wasn't in the mood to do a full face of makeup, I wanted the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream to pull double duty and eliminate my need for concealer, and it did just that. Although you could still faintly see the tiny breakout I had by my nose if you looked closely, the CC cream took care of the redness, making it almost invisible.

The feel of the complexion product is slightly heavier than a skin tint but lighter than most full-coverage foundations. As I mentioned, it blends effortlessly and melts into skin for natural-looking coverage. You can barely feel it on your skin once blended, but you can certainly see it working. Although the product claims to offer a matte finish, I'd say it's more of a satin or soft-matte look, as you can still see some glow in your complexion. This is perfect for me because I gave up wearing truly matte finishes a long time ago.

My Skin Using Only the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream

If you're looking for an affordable drugstore CC cream that stacks up to the products double in price, the Neutrogena Clear Coverage CC Cream is worth every dollar and then some. The product will work for no-makeup makeup and full-face looks, and wearers will appreciate how well it covers imperfections while still looking like skin.

In the last year, there has been an increasing push toward virtual reality in tech. Market research company eMarketer.com estimated that the number of people using some form of extended-reality technology, particularly virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR), made up 18 and 28 percent, respectively, of the US population in 2021. For context, that is 58.9 million people who have used some form of virtual reality and 93.3 million who have used some form of augmented reality. One thing is clear from this information: extended reality is becoming increasingly popular.

It should have been no surprise, then, when Facebook's chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that he believed that the metaverse was "the next generation of the internet" and claimed that the social media company would be gradually heading in that direction over the next few years. But what exactly is the metaverse? Coined in 1992 by science-fiction writer Neal Stephenson, the term "metaverse" by its most basic definition refers to "the concept of a highly immersive virtual world where people gather to socialize, play, and work."

In present-day application, however, the metaverse may take on a slightly different meaning, particularly as we look at it through the lens of beauty. In beauty, whether you're a consumer or a business, the metaverse has the opportunity to open up access to beauty experiences at all levels - without anyone having to step foot outside of their homes. From the way people shop to how beauty brands interact with customers and even how brand activations are approached, we're exploring below what the world of beauty might look like in the metaverse.

What Does the Metaverse Look Like Right Now?

Since the full concept of the metaverse has not yet been actualized, its present-day advantages are only starting to be explored. This is especially true in one particular sector: the virtual e-commerce space.

"When we think about what exists today, augmented reality and live shopping are two examples of early glimmers into the metaverse," Yulie Kwon Kim, vice president of product management at Facebook, says. "Experiences like AR Try On allow us to preview products, like accessories and beauty products, before we buy them so we get a real sense of how products will look on us." Kim adds that she expects the beauty industry will only continue to build on this early success in the metaverse by "leaning into social commerce, building out their presence on Shops, and experimenting with new formats like Live Shopping."

Alongside nontraditional shopping capabilities, beauty brands will be able to use the metaverse to expand their networks and build stronger, more engaged audiences. That means events will no longer need to be exclusive to people living in large metropolitan cities.

"I think brands will increasingly think about how they can launch and activate products beyond an event in NY or LA," Brooke Ozaydinli, creator marketing manager at Instagram and host of the Naked Beauty Podcast, says. As the metaverse rises in popularity, Ozaydinli says that brands will "really build experiential moments that allow customers and their community to preview and experience their product offerings virtually."

The Future of Beauty in the Metaverse

The collision of the beauty industry and the metaverse may extend simply to how people show up in the space. Ozaydinli has increasingly become aware of the desire for avatars to be individualized, adding that personalization in the metaverse can even go a step further to incorporate the talents of people you might not otherwise meet outside of the virtual world.

"We'll have the opportunity for our avatars to be 'flier than us,'" Ozaydinli says. "For example, you may not have the makeup skills to pull off an elaborate eye look, but maybe a creator like Doniella Davy, the lead makeup artist for Euphoria, can offer looks [that your avatar] can try on and wear in the metaverse. A hair artist like Nikki Nelms, who creates elaborate looks for Solange and Janelle Monáe, may offer the opportunity [for avatars] to rock her hairstyles in the metaverse."

Users may also be able to own the digital versions of products that they already have and use at home in order to reflect their real-life tastes. "If I'm going live or doing a 'house tour' of my space in the metaverse, I probably want to show off my skin-care collection I've worked hard to build in the real world," Ozaydinli says. "My avatar doesn't have skin that needs moisturizer, but do I want my digital skin-care shelf to reflect all of the products I'm using now? 100 percent."

This may also extend to the products people want to own. "While someone may not be able to afford a Tom Ford fragrance [in real life], maybe they would want one on their beauty dresser in the metaverse."

Even creators that are not affiliated with large-scale beauty brands might also be able to benefit from the breadth of accessibility options that the metaverse has to offer. While metaverse continues honing in on what Ozaydinli calls "interactive experiences that feel closer to what it's like to be in person than our current interactions on our phone or tablet," for independent and nontraditional creators like her fellow podcasters, who rely heavily on self-promotion, that can look like hosting spaces (or "lives") in the metaverse, which would allow their supporters to have face-to-face access to them, regardless of geographic location, in real time. With an industry like social media marketing, where creators are dependent on audience engagement, being able to interact with supporters in such a personal way could make a huge impact.

The Downsides of Beauty in the Metaverse

With the announcement of the metaverse came some expected skepticism, particularly surrounding how inclusive the metaverse will actually be. The tech industry has been heavily criticized for being intentionally exclusive and heavily dominated by rich white men, and some people think that this atmosphere will only carry over into the metaverse. Since the beauty industry continues to make strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion, stepping into a metaverse that does not value the diversity of its users could greatly impact a successful integration.

Though Ozaydinli says she believes that the metaverse is a step in the right direction for inclusivity in terms of geographic location, she adds that the conversation regarding diversity and equity in particular is critical as the metaverse evolves.

"Designers, when building avatars, will need to [accurately] reflect racial diversity, body type, and gender diversity," Ozaydinli says. "[If] you go to set up your avatar and they have 30 styles for straight hair and two for textured, kinky, and curly hair, it sends a pretty clear signal about who was being thought about and prioritized behind the scenes."

This issue can be addressed, and diversity must be top of mind at every stage of building the metaverse. Not only do designers need to be cognizant of diversity when building aspects of the metaverse like avatars, but they also need to be "building teams of coders and designers that are racially and gender diverse themselves," Ozaydinli says.

With potential users keenly aware of how issues surrounding inclusion in the metaverse could manifest, beauty brands in particular must be cognizant of how they plan to be inclusive of their audience regardless of race, class, ability, or geographic location - whether that's holding events that have no geographic restrictions or thinking of ways consumers can buy products without money, such as by being an active participant in their community.

The exploration of the metaverse is both exciting and unnerving. While no one can really say for certain what the future of beauty within this space will entail, early integrations have proven to be a success, so the merge of these two worlds will be nothing short of interesting to watch. As a beauty consumer, you can expect the metaverse to be not only a place to spend time online, but as Ozaydinli predicts, a place to "make the time [spent] online more meaningful."

If you've ever searched Sephora for something to get rid of hyperpigmentation, scarring, or dullness on your face, it's pretty likely your results included at least one product with vitamin C. Of course, the ingredient has long been praised for helping us not get sick when we consume it, but it also helps complexions stay healthy. Think of it like a big glass of juice . . . on your face, for your face. And it's not just oranges in this magic juice - there are cherries, guavas, and other vitamin C-rich fruits, too.

Vitamin C can be found in masks and creams (not just that metaphorical face juice), but serums are the most concentrated and best for spot-targeting relief right on your problem areas. These serums exfoliate dead cells and leave a brighter, smoother complexion as a result. This ingredient also aids in the production of collagen, which is key for skin's elasticity now and in the future.

We looked through all the vitamin C face serums at Sephora and picked out the very best - and every single one on this list has earned an average rating of at least four stars from other shoppers, so you don't just have to take our word for it. Check them out ahead.

By the looks of last night's episode of Euphoria, it seems like Cassie is also on Hair-Tok (but would you expect anything less?). In "Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys," the third episode of season two, Sydney Sweeney's character could be seen using the famous heatless hair curling ribbon that went viral on TikTok in the last year.

The Heatless Curling Rod Headband ($13) features a long headband-like tube, two silk scrunchies, and a claw clip that's used to hold the object in place. In the show, Cassie used it during her 4 A.M. morning ritual to get ready for school. After showering, she put it in her hair and let it dry while she continued to gua sha, ice roll, self-tan, and more. The result: blown-out curls that looked effortless (despite the three-hour beauty pampering that came with them), in hopes of grabbing Nate's attention.

The heatless hair accessory in Cassie's routine was rocketed into fame in 2021 with millions of people on TikTok trying it out to achieve voluminous waves without the use of hot tools. Though, most people use the heatless hair hack overnight - as opposed to waking up at 4 A.M. Given Cassie's affinity for hair and makeup, we're not surprised that she's a proud owner of the TikTok-famous hair tool, and we could totally see her creating one of the tutorials that we see on our FYP.

The list of celebrity-owned beauty brands grows. John Legend recently announced plans to launch an affordable skin-care line catering to consumers with melanated and dark skin tones and also keeping in mind pigmentation disorders and skin conditions, like eczema. The line is in the development phase, and a name has not yet been shared publicly.

"Of course, I'm in the public eye, and so there's a bit more of a premium placed on making sure we take care of ourselves and present ourselves well to the public," Legend tells Fortune. "But everybody has skin, and everybody cares about their skin, and everybody cares about presenting themselves well in every situation, whether it's, you know, family, community, or wherever they are."

The singer's skin=care venture is part of his new partnership with A-Frame Brands. (The holding company also has Naomi Osaka's Kinlò and Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade's forthcoming Proudly in its portfolio.) Legend admires the company's attention to traditionally underrepresented and underserved groups, and says A-Frame Brands is "concerned about creating something that is affordable and accessible to all kinds of people" and "truly loves people of color and wants to provide people of color with the care that we deserve."

Florence Pugh has served us quite a few beauty moments over the past few months, and every single one of them manages to keep us wanting more. So, it's no surprise that her latest look has us scrambling for a box of hair dye. Over the weekend, the actor posted an Instagram Story and wrote in text on the screen "Euphoria day means smiley day," and while we too were waiting in anticipation for the hit show's latest episode, Pugh's new brunette hair color is what really caught our attention.

Though Pugh has never shied away from adding a few tweaks to her hair - she did dye the ends of her then-long blond hair a gorgeous pastel purple last June - after cutting her hair into a pixie-mullet a few months ago, she's really packed in the daring hair transformations. From fire-engine red to icy bleach-blond, Pugh has proven to be quite the chameleon when it comes to her hairstyle.

Brown is most likely Pugh's natural hair color, and she may be signaling that she's ready to go back to her roots for a bit, but with the rise of the "expensive brunette" trend, we can't help but wonder if she has yet another hair transformation in store for us in the coming weeks. In the meantime, take a closer look at her brunette hair color ahead.

• The french braid hairstyle is a classic, easy-to-DIY look.
• Doing your french braid on one side of your head instantly elevates the style.
• This easy step-by-step tutorial shows you how to recreate a french side braid in no time.

Sideswept braids are something of a cross between a waterfall braid and the french braid Katniss Everdeen wore in The Hunger Games (not to mention seen on every red carpet Taylor Swift has ever walked). The reason is simple. Not only is the french side braid a chic take on your average braided updo, but it's also still elegant enough to wear during a night out on the town. As a bonus, braided hairstyles like the one we outline ahead really come in handy for those of us who'll be looking to keep our hair up and out of our faces as the weather warms up in the coming months.

That said, not all of us are blessed when it comes to being able to simply DIY seemingly easy-to-re-create hairstyles on other people. If you fall into that category, we're here to help. Keep scrolling to see step-by-step photos and instructions on how you can re-create this side french braid yourself.

• The L'Oréal Hyaluronic Tinted Serum has been hyped on Instagram for its high coverage and dewy finish.
• The product is a makeup and skin care hybrid, with hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin.
• One editor tried the foundation and was impressed with the results.

Unlike my freshman year in college, I now prefer when my makeup is almost imperceptible to the eye. This has led to a slight obsession with complexion products with a dewy finish, as those tend to look the most natural looking on me. The problem that I often find, however, is that dewy foundations tend to lack the coverage that I need. As someone with acne-prone skin, I don't want my makeup to accentuate my breakouts or uneven skin tone, otherwise, why put it on in the first place?

After scrolling Instagram one night, I discovered numerous beauty bloggers and makeup artists alike raving about the L'Oréal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum ($15). The complexion product did, in fact, act like a skin-care serum in terms of consistency, but the fuller coverage was there, so I knew I had to try it.

The water-based serum-foundation comes in 14 shades, with the formula being lightweight enough for one shade to work across multiple skin tones. I chose the shade 7-8. The packaging is chic and minimal, featuring a droplet applicator and thick glass bottle. The texture itself is very runny with a soft-touch finish, which to me feels very high-end. The formula also features hyaluronic acid and glycerin, both of which are known for its moisturizing properties.

I applied the foundation both with a makeup brush and my hands to see if there would be a difference in coverage. For the brush I used the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush ($10), and the finish was a radiant medium coverage. However, when I applied it with my fingertips, that's when I really saw what the hype was about.

The finish after applying it with my hands was more full-coverage because there was no barrier (like a sponge or makeup brush) to soak up any of the product, which I appreciated. The technique made my skin look even more radiant - like I just had on my favorite moisturizer, not an entire face of foundation.

This serum-foundation hybrid is a masterclass on how to get natural-looking base makeup right. Not only did my skin look dewy, but the coverage it provided for a product this lightweight, is exceptional. Though my skin veers on the combination to oily side, the added hyaluronic acid means it could also work for people with dry skin.

I couldn't recommend this foundation more. It has become a staple in my makeup collection, particularly during these drier winter months, and blows all my other dewy complexion products out the water.

• The Derol Lip Plumping Duo is going viral on TikTok for making a dramatic difference in the appearance of lips.
• The duo features two lip glosses; one to give that "plumping" effect and the other to add a sheen.
• One editor tested the duo to see if it lives up to the hype.

While they are all the rave on TikTok, I've never used a lip plumper before. The category has never caught my attention because I don't have particularly small lips, so whenever I wanted them to look a bit fuller, I just used a lip liner to create the same effect. After doing that for some time, I realized that my upper lip is a bit smaller than my bottom, and when I'd finish adding my lip color, if I wasn't careful, my lip product would end up way above my top lip line. Surely, there had to be a better solution.

After mindlessly scrolling TikTok one day, I came across numerous videos of people claiming a lip plumper on Amazon worked wonders. I decided to give it a try to see if it could help even out the playing field between my upper and lower lip.

The product, I found out, was the Derol Lip Plumper Duo ($17) and it came with two clear lip glosses. The gloss that could be used during the day was the plumper - it contains peppermint oil to serve as the "irritant" - and the gloss for night use was a normal lip oil. Both came in an adorable pill-like container with a small doe-foot applicator, which makes them extremely easy to travel with or to just slip inside of a purse on the go.

I applied the lip plumper as I would a normal gloss and it left behind a beautiful shine. The tingling effect of the peppermint oil was immediate, but it wasn't painful. I took a picture at 10:55 am to see how long it would take to see any plumping results.

Six minutes later, I felt the tingling sensation winding down, so I took another picture. While there was a slight difference after wearing the lip plumper, the effect was akin to me biting my lips and then putting a lip gloss on, which is to say a bit underwhelming. Where I noticed the most difference was near my upper lip line. Compared to the before photo, the line was definitely more prominent, so the plumper made my upper lip look not necessarily bigger, but a bit more structured, which could prove useful when outlining it with a lip liner in the future.

After this picture, the tingling did subside completely and I was left with a beautiful glossy finish to my lips. While it didn't give the dramatic result that I was hoping for, this product definitely helped fix my mismatched lip shape and is perfect for prepping the lips when getting ready. Though my search for a more dramatic plumper continues, this set is a great entry point for beginners looking for an introduction into the world of lip plumpers.

• Space buns were a popular hairstyle in the '90s but they've gotten a makeover for 2022.
• The "elevated" space bun hairstyle trend has been worn by countless celebrities.
• See examples of the hairstyle on Yara Shahidi, Marsai Martin, Olivia Rodrigo, and more.

The '90s have made a huge comeback and we're soaking up every second of it, but not every retro beauty trend has come back quite as strong as the space buns hairstyle. The beloved double-bun look has proven to be a favorite among celebrities like Marsai Martin, Charli D'Amelio, Olivia Rodrio, Yara Shahidi, and many, many more – not to mention countless people on TikTok and Instagram alike.

The secret to this Zenon-inspired hairstyle is its versatility. The simplest version of it - two pigtails twisted into buns - can be created in a matter of minutes with just two hair-ties, but as this trend has grown over the last year or so, we've seen different variations of the space bun hairstyle hit our social media feeds, leading to the creation of the "elevated space buns hairstyle." Half-up half-down, curled, and braided details make the style extra trendy and wearable outside of the original festival-type destinations that the look was produced from.

"I've been seriously loving space buns and have been seeing an increase in requests from my clients for that style," celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko tells POPSUGAR. "It's a universal style that looks great on any hair type and texture, and lets your face truly shine through."

When you make it your own, it gives the nostalgic style a refreshing update, making it perfect for 2022. Get inspiration for the elevated space buns

• Ariana Grande has over 34 tattoos to date.
• The singer has tattoos ranging from sentimental reminders to matching designs with bandmates.
• Most of her tattoos are dainty pieces on her arms and hands.

While singer Ariana Grande isn't as tattooed as her longtime friend and fellow "Stuck With U" singer Justin Bieber, she does have an impressive collection that extends into the double digits.

Each of Grande's tattoos tells a story and holds sentimental value. She has a tattoo of the nickname her grandfather gave her, a few pop-culture related designs (like a Breakfast at Tiffany's quote), and many designs to represent her music (like a the Sweetener World Tour tattoo she got with her bandmates).

Some of Grande's designs are in a few not-so-obvious spots, while others are on full display on her fingers or her back. To get a closer look at Grande's tattoos and learn about their meanings, keep reading.

• As restrictions slowly go back into place, many of us are going back to DIYing our beauty routines - particularly our haircuts.
• Having to cut your hair at home can be tricky. From deciding on the right tools to figuring out how to navigate your hair, the process can feel overwhelming.
• Celebrity hairstylist Sunnie Brook shared via Instagram some tips on cutting your hair at home.

Normally, it's always our best advice to go to a professional stylist for any kind of haircut or hair-color service, but when push comes to shove and you need to DIY, there are a few steps you can take to make the process a little easier to do at home. This is especially true when it comes to cutting your hair at home.

Celebrity hairstylist Sunnie Brook is proving it doesn't have to require a lot of resources, either. All you'll need are a towel, a comb with wide and fine teeth, scissors, a scrunchie, and fine mist spray. Once you've gathered those, check out her very helpful play-by-play of trimming your own hair at home.

Step 1: Gather the Right Tools

Lay a towel on the surface you'll be cutting over to make the cleanup super quick and easy. Pick up your comb with wide and fine teeth. Brook says the wide-tooth side gives less tension, which is great for wavy or curly textures. You'll also need a good pair of scissors (we like the Equinox Professional Shears ($22)) , so it glides through and doesn't chew your ends. The main goal is to open up your hair around your face, add some movement, and remove dry ends while keeping the length.

Step 2: Create a Guide on Dry Hair

You'll need to cut on dry hair so you can see the shape. Wet hair isn't the best indicator, Brook said, as it stretches. Create a guide in the front, by taking the supertiny pieces on both sides. Use your ears to section those away. Twist the part where you want to cut it, take the scissors, and cut down. That gives the hair more of a tapered end instead of a blunt one. Remember, if you have wavy or curly hair, less is more because your hair will bounce up.

Step 3: Cut in Small Sections

Go little by little - you don't want to cut off too much. Then use a scrunchie or a hair tie to put up the back half of your hair - these Goody Hair Scrunchies ($5) work great. Then, keep cutting the front part of your hair from top to bottom, toward the floor.

Step 4: Move On to the Ends

Don't forget to check along the way that the sides are even by bringing both ends side by side in front of your face. Once you are done with the front, take out your ponytail. Separate your hair onto both sides, and cut into the ends vertically. This will soften your blunt ends and add a little more movement.

Step 5: Revive Your Hair

You're done! Use a facial spray like the Mario Badescu Rose Water and Aloe ($7) spray or fine hair mist (the Ouai Texturizing Spray ($26) is phenomenal) to revive the hair and see the shape.

• Box braids are a staple protective style that can last weeks with proper maintenance.
• The hairstyle, while fairly straightforward, can be complicated without the right tools.
• We asked celebrity hairstylist Annagjid Taylor the best products to make the installation process more manageable.

So you've decided to install your own box braids - along with plenty of other people who have decided to become their own hairstylists over the past few years. While some people are seemingly innately skilled in the fine art that is doing their own hairstyles, others (definitely not referring to ourselves here) are simply not. Though admittedly, the best thing about putting yourself in charge of your own beauty treatments is the amount of money you save, one of the only drawbacks to DIYing is figuring out how to get the same salon-quality looks you'd get from a stylist at home. (Well, besides having to sit down and commit to a hairstyle, but we digress.)

Box braids in particular, as well as other protective styles, are a special kind of DIY project; they're doable with the help of some handy YouTube tutorials and the right tools, but if you fall into the camp that may need a bit more help with the style, it's still helpful to take some cues from a professional on the best ways to pull off your install.

We reached out to Annagjid "Kee" Taylor, celebrity hairstylist and author of All Hair Is Good Hair, for some input on which products are must haves if you're installing your own box braids. From scalp cleansers to gels and even the right bonnet, check out a few products that will make this process much easier ahead.

• A new hair hack for heatless curls is gaining popularity on TikTok.
• The process involves twisting damp hair and using hair clips to pin it up, then sleeping on it overnight.
• One editor tried the hack and was impressed with the results.

When scrolling TikTok the other night, I came across a new heatless hair hack from TikTok user Emma August that immediately piqued my interest. In the video, she twisted her damp hair away from her face into faux-French braids, pinned it at the top of her head, and slept on it overnight. In the morning, she was left with soft, bouncy waves, without needing to put in tons of effort. Plus, it only required snap clips, which I knew I had shoved in one of my bathroom drawers. Since I'm always on the lookout for ways to give my hair a break from hot tools, and I loved the last heatless hair tool I tried, I knew I had to test this one out.

Since this hack is best tested on damp hair, I took a shower and washed and conditioned as normal. After my shower, I let my hair air-dry to about 90 percent. I then sprayed the Gisou Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner ($34) all over my hair and combed it through. Next, I dispensed a small amount of Gisou's Propolis Infused Polishing Primer ($34) into my hand and applied it to my hair. I love using this primer rather than a mousse when doing heatless hairstyles because I've found that it helps set the style without leaving my hair feeling crunchy or stiff.

Next, I parted my hair where I normally do-down the middle- and I separated my hair into two sections as if I were going to put my hair into pigtails. I then picked up a small section of hair at the top of my head and began twisting it backward, away from my face. I then continued adding sections of hair (similar to how you add hair when French braiding) and continued to twist the hair away from my face all the way until I reached the end of my hair.

I then twisted that hair back and up so that the end of the twisted hair was sitting on the crown of my head, where I pinned it in place using two snap clips from this Amazon Snap Hair Clips Pack of 120 ($9). I then repeated these steps on the other side of my hair. I don't own a silk hair cap like the woman in the original video, but I do own a silk pillowcase so I opted to sleep on that. I then let my hair dry overnight while sleeping.

In the morning, after showering and doing my morning routine, I took out my hair to survey the results. I was left with soft, loose waves that I absolutely loved. I was honestly surprised that I was able to get such a nice-looking wave just from twisting my hair back.

I did notice that although my front pieces were fairly curly, the hair in the back didn't have much curl to it and stayed pretty straight. I think this is because the majority of the hair I was twisting was situated at the front of my face. I think the next time I try this I'm going to see if there's a way to also twist the hair in the back so I have more defined pieces throughout my hair.

The bottom line? This is one of the more simple and user-friendly heatless hairstyles I've tried, and it doesn't require many tools. I was able to test it out using items I already had at home, which is always a plus. I will definitely opt to use this hack when I'm traveling and I want to pack light (aka when I want to leave my many flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryer brushes at home). All it requires is a few hair clips, so if you're looking for a way to achieve heatless curls with minimal effort, why not try it out?
