'I stopped straightening my hair after 22 years': The psychology behind women in their 30s and 40s choosing their natural curls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've been straightening my hair since I was 14. And I'm 36 now. For more than two decades, my hair has been subjected to hair straighteners, hairdryers, and all sorts of strategies aimed at one very specific goal: making sure it doesn't look curly. Getting to the point where I am now, wearing my very curly hair naturally, wasn't as simple as just putting my straighteners in a drawer. It has taken time to get used to seeing myself with curly hair, to figure out what kind of cut my hair actually n
Self-care to control: What your manicure says about your state of mind, according to a psychologist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Keeping your nails freshly done tends to trigger all sorts of quick assumptions. People will jump straight to perfectionism, image obsession or a deep-seated need for control. The reality, though, is usually far more nuanced. A pristine manicure can be nothing more than a personal preference, a creative outlet or that one hour a week when you switch off from everything else. And yes, it can genuinely help you unwind.

The hidden psychology behind why a new haircut changes how you act (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You step out of the salon, catch your reflection in the lift mirror, and something shifts. You don't just look different—you feel different. You walk with a new spring in your step, you actually feel like making plans, and you even reply to messages with a completely different energy. It might sound superficial, but it isn't quite that simple according to psychology. A great new look can lift your mood because it touches on something deeply personal: the way we see ourselves. Ana Galán, a psycho
A psychologist reveals what your go-to lipstick shade says about your personality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For many of us, putting on lipstick is second nature. A bold red before a big meeting, a subtle nude for everyday wear, or a touch of gloss for that effortless, well-rested look. At the other end of the spectrum are those who go months without so much as glancing at the lipsticks buried in their make-up bag—skipping them even for weddings or special dinners. It might seem like a simple, even superficial habit, but a single swipe of lipstick actually raises fascinating questions about self-percep
