Anyone who has ever grown out a short hairstyle knows that the journey back to a lengthy mane can be long and tedious. The awkward “growing out” phase typically requires a lot of patience – and liberal use of the slicked-back bun. But now, celebrities have found a new way to bridge the gap. Meet the “clavi-cut”, so named because of how the ends of the hair hit right at the collar bone. The hair is long enough to easily throw up into a French twist, but sufficiently short that, with the right hair tools, it can be styled with bob-like precision.

As the daughter of Nicaraguan immigrants in San Francisco, I am the first in my family to go to college. But my academic journey hasn’t been easy: Several schools, plenty of frustration over financial aid, and two babies later, I accomplished my goal, but it would have been impossible without a strong support system.

Deodorants are a staple in our daily hygiene routines, but not all of them are created equal. Many people have experienced the discomfort and pain of boils under their arms after using certain deodorants.

I exfoliate my face bi-weekly—yet, save for the occasional clarifying shampoo, I rarely slough dead skin from my scalp. My lack of attention becomes particularly apparent in the soupy summer months, when sweat and product buildup (often from excess dry shampoo) mix and form a palpable film at my roots. Physical sensation aside, buildup hinders hair health and may even prevent strands from growing their strongest. As trichologist Gretchen Friese previously told InStyle, “Creating a healthy [scalp] environment for hair to grow is essential for thick, healthy hair.” The Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo is formulated to do exactly that—and, per shoppers, it creates thicker hair by proliferating strands.
