Spotted: Queen B, as in Blake Lively, has officially launched a new haircare brand. Now, we can all get lively locks just like Manhattan’s elite.
Blake Lively’s new haircare brand, Blake Brown, is inspired by Lively’s personal regimen of shampoos, masks, and styling products for healthy, nourished, and strong hair.
“Blake Brown has been more than a 7-year labour of love,” said Blake Lively, Founder of Blake Brown. “I was determined to bottle up a premium, salon-quality haircare line that’s cleaner, cruelty-free, easier, yummier, more sustainable, and more accessible than anything I saw out there…”
Launching with 8 core Haircare Products, Including Shampoos, Masks, A Styler And Mousse, as well as nourishing and strengthening masks in Place of Traditional Conditioner, Blake Brown provides an innovative, every-wash approach to haircare, created in partnership with Give Back Beauty.
All of the products are formulated with clean ingredients, are vegan and cruelty-free, and utilize recycled materials to create as little waste as possible. Not only are the products designed to strengthen, nourish, and style the hair, but the fragrances featured were developed by best-in-class master perfumers in order to create a multi-sensorial journey inspired by Lively’s personal favourite scents.
“Performance was paramount. We were uncompromising, which is why it took an absurd amount of time, but the products show our level of dedication and strict quality control. I couldn’t be more proud…” shared Lively.
Blake Brown will be officially available to shop on August 4th, exclusively at Target and www.blakebrownbeauty.com.

10 Easy Hairstyles That Are Perfect For Summer
Beachy waves are one of our all-time favourite hairstyles for summer. They look so effortlessly cool! But as with everything that looks effortless, they do require a bit of effort. We don’t always have time to indulge in a full beach day in order to create authentic beachy waves, after all (sigh). With the right products, tools, and techniques, we can look like we just got back from a beach vacation any day of the week!
Here’s how to get perfect beachy waves – without the beach!
Note: Everyone has different hair, and there are multiple ways to achieve various beachy wave hairstyles. This is just an option we’ve been loving!
Step 1: Add texture
Honestly, this hairstyle works best when your hair isn’t at its freshest. But you can always add a bit of extra texture to your hair with a sea salt spray and/or some styling cream! Some prefer to use styling products after heat has been applied; however, for beachy waves in particular, we like to get as good of a base as we can before we go in with the hot tools!
Step 2: Wave Your Hair
As we mentioned above, there are plenty of different ways to get different styles of beachy wave looks. At the moment, we’ve been loving using a hair waver, ensuring we get a consistent look every time!
First, comb out your hair with a wide-tooth comb and apply a heat protectant. Then, part your hair in however many sections you need (probably 2 or 3), working from the bottom to top. Within each section, take little sections of your hair at a time and run the waver through it, from the top to bottom of the strands. It may take a little bit of trial and error to figure out how large of sections to use through the waver. Do the same process until you reach the top! And remember – the whole point of beachy waves is to look effortless, so don’t fret if it doesn’t look perfect.
Step 3: Wait To Cool Down & Comb Out
Now, give your hair a second to cool down, if you comb it out while it’s still hot, you risk messing up your waves, and not in a good way. Once your hair is completely cooled down, you can take a comb and brush it out, allowing the waves to blend nicely together and get out any knots before the finishing touches.
Step 4: Add A Finishing Oil To Reduce Frizz
If you struggle with frizz, simply add a little bit of hair oil to keep frizz at bay and add some extra texture and shine!
Step 5: Shake It Out & Lock It In
Lastly, it’s time to add that “undone” messy look to your waves in order to give them that “beachy” appearance! Shake out your hair with your fingers until you’re happy with how it looks, then lock it all in with hair spray! And you’re done!

10 Of The Best Hair Oils To Hydrate Hair In The Winter
As the transition into fall begins and the air begins to cool, we can’t help but notice particular hairstyles and cuts are on the rise. Throughout summer, all too often we start the day with a certain hairstyle and then end up throwing it in a hair tie because it’s just too hot to deal with. Fall is the perfect time to play around with different hairstyles because it’s the sweet spot in between summer humidity and winter snow, here in Canada anyway.
Hair can be so expressive, of someone’s individual identity. Which is why it’s so fun to try out different hair trends and see what works for your style and particular hair type – and who knows, maybe you’ll find your new go-to! Some trends we’ve been spotting lately have been strong enough to carry over from past seasons, and some are fresh and new.
Whether it be a new haircut, hairstyle, or hair accessory, we’ve sorted out some of the hottest current hair trends that you should definitely have on your radar!
Wavy Hair
Wavy hair, or “beach waves” as some call it, is a hairstyle we saw all throughout summer and it’s here to stay! Having a nice wave throughout your hair gives it a perfect amount of volume and texture without looking too formal. You can achieve the popular wavy-hair trend with the help of Drybar’s ‘The Beach Bender’ hot tool (which is currently on sale at Chatters!). It’s super easy to use, and provides the exact look that we’re referencing!
Sleek Buns & Ponytails
This model-off-duty hairstyle continues to stay on trend! We love a sleek bun or ponytail for how easy it is to accomplish, yet it always ends up looking so tailored and put-together. Bad hair day? Sleek it back into a ponytail. Hair needs a wash but you’re in a rush? Sleek bun. Your best friend when achieving the sleek pulled-up hairstyle is having second or third-day hair, a hair gel to smooth it all out and a boar-bristle brush to help avoid bumps while you pull your hair back.
Blowouts
Blowouts have been having a major moment over the past couple of years! The more volume the better. Luckily you don’t need to go to a blow-dry bar to achieve a gorgeous blowout, thanks to Revlon’s viral One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer! It makes giving yourself a blowout so much easier than with the old-school hair dryer and round brush. A voluminous blowout in the fall is *chefs kiss*.
Layers Layers Layers
In terms of trending haircuts, it’s all about layers right now! There are tons of different layered haircuts and they all seem to be trending. Short or long, having an abundance of layers with some face-framing bangs or pieces to style is all the rage. Some of the boldest haircuts within the layered hair trend are known as wolf cuts, shags, and of course the boldest of all, the mullet.
The Side Part
Side parts are coming back to play! Not so long ago side parts were considered somewhat dated and middle parts took over. But now the side part seems to be coming back strong! Especially in an editorial way. We can’t help but notice the controversial side-part making more and more appearances on the runway and in magazines. That being said, part your hair however you like, regardless of what’s trending, and don’t let anyone tell you the way you part your hair is out of style!
Bobs
The level of chic that a bob creates is unmatched. If you’re sick of your hair and want something new and fresh… Why not give it a chop? Sleek bobs, as well as textured bobs, are super trendy right now. Even Emma Chamberlain is currently sporting one, and we all know anything she does or wears becomes instantly trendy. The best part about this chic haircut is it’s a great excuse to refresh your hair and make it healthy again! There’s no better time than now to chop off those dead ends.
Copper
Although most hair colours don’t really go out of style, there always seems to be a hair colour that dominates the scene in terms of trendiness. In the past it has been brunette to blonde ombré and currently, it’s copper. Copper hair looks good on virtually anyone and any skin tone. As fall approaches it gives off the perfect autumnal vibes, we’re obsessed!
Stylized Barrettes & Clips
We can’t get enough of this hair trend! It makes styling the hair so fun and playful. Simply add some cute barrettes or bobby pins to any hairstyle and you’re set! It can even elevate a simple ponytail in a literal snap.
Headbands
The queen of headbands, Blair Waldorf, would definitely approve of this trend. Whether it be fabric or structured, headbands in all styles are making their way back just in time for fall! Who doesn’t love a full head-to-toe preppy look every once in a while? Embrace the prep-school, old-money vibes by simply putting on a cute headband.
Au Natural
Last but not least, is simply your hair in its natural glory. No matter what your natural hair texture is, it has become way more accepting – some may even say trendy to wear it just as is. There’s something beautiful about accepting our natural hair and not trying to manipulate it to look a certain way. Of course, you can always assist your natural hair with some product like a leave-in conditioner or even some mousse to help maintain frizz and let your natural texture shine!

Looking to perfect your hairstyling abilities this year? There are a bunch of hair tools on the market that can help you accomplish any type of curl and wave that you desire. We got advice from celebrity hair stylish and Chatters brand ambassador, Cindy Duplantis, on her fave hair tools and got the scoop on all of her professional tips to achieve your dream curls.
Here are the best hair tools to achieve every type of curl.
DRYBAR The Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron
CINDY’S TIP: All three attachments can be used to achieve one glamorous look! Try using the Waver to add natural volume to pieces that fall a bit flat, the Wand for curling away your fringe or face framing layers and the Curling Iron can be used all over sporadically to give your curls a more natural look.
HOT TOOLS Black Gold Volumizing Brush
CINDY’S TIP: Ensure your hair is 80 – 90% dried before using the Hot Tools Volumizing Brush, this is how to get the best results! To get that fresh out of the salon look and mimic the skills of your stylist, maintain clean sections beginning at the nape of your neck and working your way up.
KENNETH BERNARD Vibe Flat Iron
CINDY’S TIP: If you’ve only ever used your flat iron to achieve the bouncy glamorous curls, give the beachy S-waves a try by alternating the direction of your wrist to form an ‘S’ as you glide the flat iron down each section of hair.
HOT TOOLS Gold Spring Curling Iron
CINDY’S TIP: Not only is this great for those who want to achieve a super curly look, but it’s also great for those born with naturally tight curls! The Hot Tools Gold Spring Curling Iron can help you to spruce up some of your natural curls that have loosened or gone frizzy over time.
GAMA PROFESSIONAL IQ Dryer with Diffuser Attachment
CINDY’S TIP: After applying your product to soaking wet hair, scrunch remaining moisture out with a microfiber towel (such as the DEVACURL Towel) and finish the look with your diffuser. When using your diffuser, ensure you’re holding in one spot at a time, alternating between hot and cold temperature, instead of vigorous movements – vigorous movements will break up your curls and create frizz.
