Release: A New Beginning Is Almost Here Can you feel it? The light is softer, the mornings are slower, and there's a little voice saying it might be time to begin again. We've been listening to that voice. And we've been making something. Meet Release Release is our new collection, and it's all about new beginnings. We can't show you everything yet (good things take time), but here's what we can tell you. It's inspired by the changing seasons. It wanders through woodland and open meadows. It's built around simple rituals like making a wish, gathering together and letting things grow in their own time. And at the heart of it all is a simple dandelion. We chose it as...
Back to (Hair) School: Tips from the Queen's Former Hairdresser
September always feels like the start of something, even long after school is over. New notebooks, new routines, a general sense that it's time to get our lives (and our hair) in order. So this month, we're heading Back to Hair School with a teacher who genuinely knows his subject: Ian Carmichael, hairdresser to the late Queen for 25 years and now part of the Trevor Sorbie team.

How to Use a Silk Hair Wrap for Sleeping (And Why It Works)
Most of us don't think about this. We invest in shampoo, conditioner, treatments, styling... and then lay it all down on a cotton pillowcase that works against us until sunrise. A silk hair wrap changes that equation entirely. What a silk hair wrap actually does The principle is simple: silk creates a friction-free barrier between your hair and your pillow. But the effects of that barrier are surprisingly far-reaching. It reduces friction. Cotton and synthetic fabrics have a textured surface that catches and tugs at individual hair strands as you move in your sleep. Over time, this leads to breakage, split ends and thinning, particularly around the hairline and at the nape of the neck where contact is greatest. Research...
