Like a fine bottle of Pinot Grigio, some things just better with age – fellas, this includes you. First up, going grey is nothing to fear, it’s just a way of life. There’s science behind it. Our hair is naturally coloured by melanin pigment, and as we age, the production of this pigment slows down. That means going grey will happen to all of us (unless balding strikes first), but your genetics will decide when. Whether you’re keen to cover it, or ready to style it out, here’s what we’d suggest. 

Yep, you lot are busy, we relate. But to make sure you don’t miss out on the really important stuff, we’ve rounded up the top five Treatment Files posts from this week. It’s been a lively few days at the Treatwell office (mourning England’s football loss and eating one too many Fab ice lollies in the balmy UK sunshine): here’s what we’ve been talking about on the blog.

Each to their own on hair removal folks (I’m all for keeping my hair in tact when the mood strikes), but if you are shifting it this Friday 13th, please don’t risk a DIY disaster. Nowadays there are a number of methods for shifting unwanted hair including threading, laser, epilation and removal cream, but today I’m fighting waxing's corner, as a swift treatment for mighty-smooth legs that’ll keep me hair-free through my holiday and beyond. Save yourself the at-home struggle and head to the salon for a wax. No luck required with this trusted treatment, here are a few of the…

Eyebrows: we speak of their importance all too often yet there are definitely questions that still need answers. Eugene Levy may not have time to guide us on the path to great brows (that thickness), but we do. So, to prepare you for your next threading appointment, or to keep the hairs above your peepers looking tip-top, here it is: your eyebrow questions, answered. 90s crew, you’re going to want to read this.

Deep tissue massage is served up with strong pressure for a reason. While it still has the stress-busting benefits of a Swedish massage, it goes one step further to target specific aches and pains. A serious rubdown can loosen up scar tissue, untangle knots and move sub-layers of muscle back into the right place (if you're squeamish, don't worry – it all feels surprisingly satisfying). Here are three tell-tale signs you'll benefit from a deep tissue massage.

There’s more to the coloured lash tint than meets the eye. Your eyelash tips tend to be lighter than the roots, so while a tint can’t physically add any length, colouring them can definitely give the illusion of it. It's also versatile, low-maintenance and can be surprisingly subtle – so you don't need to worry about scaring your postman early in the morning. Unless you've gone for the somewhat less subtle – but oh so pretty – rainbow tint.

You've worked pretty hard on perfecting your designer stubble / well-groomed beard, but nostril and ear hair? Not so much. Thankfully there are ways to tackle those niggly little hairs that are too sparse or awkward to wax, and electrolysis is one of them.  

While of course you're free to do whatever you want with your brows (the limit's your imagination), they can do a lot complement your face shape. A high arch, for example, can work wonders for a round or square-ish shaped face. If you've tried as many brow styles as brightly coloured mascara shades (our teens were a time of discovery) but now you're on the hunt for The One, read on.

Oh, the decisions we have to make in life. But this one's important – is a fake tan best sourced from a bottle or a salon? Luckily you don't need to hop on a flight to the Bahamas if you're after a golden glow for yourself (although we wouldn't say no).

We know you’re a busy bunch, so we've rounded up the top five posts from this week to make sure you don’t miss any of the important stuff. It’s been a lively week at Treatwell (not just discussing Megan from Love Island or chanting 'it's coming home'): here’s what we’ve been talking about on the blog. By Rachel Spedding

Warning: this trend is love it or hate it (come on, love it with us). We can’t deny that the World Cup has taken a firm grasp of all our attention, so we're fledging full support for the Three Lions – mani included. Since you're obviously heading for a nail appointment anyway this weekend (because there's no greater Saturday plan, pre-match), we figured some football nail art inspiration was a good idea. It's too hot for a football shirt, face paint is a no-go, and you might not yet know the words to sing along to that 'Three Lions' song (yeah right). Instead, make the most…

No more topping up your lippie after your lunchbreak (or third glass of red), the blurred lip trend answers our low-maintenance prayers – and looks great too. The hazy lip look has been doing the rounds for a few years now, cropping up on catwalks season after season, but today marks the perfect occasion to talk about it. Why? Because this Friday is World Kissing Day. Pucker up. Time to ditch the lip pencil and embrace the blurred-edge effect. The out-of-focus look is purposefully messy, and super easy to achieve. How’s it done? First up, grab your concealer. Relax –…

If you've already tried LVL lash lifts, we reckon it's safe to assume you're now *a bit* addicted to having super-charged eyelashes. The good news is, miracle lash treatments don't just start and end with LVL. And trying out other treatments is the perfect excuse to keep that (healthy) addiction in check. Here are a few of our other favourite ways to get stand-out lashes.

Well, we’ve had a mighty fine month celebrating Pride so far, but our glitter pots haven’t ran out yet. This Saturday (July 7th), Pride month culminates in an epic, all-out parade through London. Good cause, good times, good excuse to share the love. There’s only one rule when it comes to Pride: anything goes. But… if you do need a hand with the dressing up side of things, we’ve pulled together a gallery of inspiration to peruse before the party kicks off (conga and all). Nail art, hair dye, and all the glitter: you should do you this weekend (and always).…

Well, well, well. Either you’re still smiling, you’re still chanting, or your head’s seriously pounding. The England match was a tense affair, but ended on a major high (Jordan Pickford, we salute you). So, how can our lads maintain their condition ahead of Saturday’s match, to bring that winning streak against Sweden? Massage and muscle treatments, that’s how. In case you need some suggestions, gents, we’ve rounded up the ultimate ‘recovery’ checklist. Football might be coming home, but it’s time you left it – and headed for a treatment.

Aside from the fact gel nails last longer than the polish you get in a manicure, they're also ideal if you're prone to the post-mani smudge or the dreaded chipping.

Like the circle of (skin) life, cells die naturally. It’s part of that regenerating process that goes on from top to toe. Alas, if we don't remove the dead skin cells, they can cause causing ingrown hairs, clogged pores, and acne. Good news, exfoliators are the skincare superheroes, saving arms, legs, the whole darn body by removing the surface layer of our skin, and speeding up the natural shed cycle. From facial peels, to full body scrub-downs, exfoliation is a one way ticket to the skin of your younger years (real young, newborn baby, in fact): here’s how it’s done. By…

The words 'pay day' send shivers of pleasure down our spines. Reasons we go to work: 1) So we can fork out for 6am gym classes (however we feel at 5.15 when the alarm goes off) 2) So we can justify buying a new foundation tint each time there's a 2 degree change in temperature 3) So we can fund our addiction to peanut butter oh and 4) you know, to pay bills. After all that, whatever's left over needs to be really worth it. We're putting the latest eyelash craze under the microscope to see if it's worth our…

Body wrap, sounds snuggly. For a long time, the treatment has been considered a go-to method for instant weight loss – though it’s reputation may have stayed the same (it’s a short term fix and sweating is the culprit), the benefits of wrapping stretch way beyond your waistline. As usual, the ancient Egyptians are treatment trend-setters, as they were the first to use wraps back in the day. So, what’s the deal? Is it uncomfortable? Is cling film involved? Is the weight loss thing real? We’ve wrapped up all the details, right here (touché). By Rachel Spedding

You may have heard of it, and you’ve definitely seen it (it’s the one with the needles): acupuncture is a treatment derived from Chinese medicine. The main goal of the treatment is to relieve physical and mental tension, through balancing qi (pronounced ‘chee’) in the body. It’s an oldie, but a goodie, as the ancient technique has been practiced over the centuries, and is still hugely popular today. Ready to give the needles a try? Here’s what’s involved, the benefits, and the answer to the question you’re all wondering: how much does it hurt? By Rachel Spedding

We’re told to wear SPF every day, that it prevents skin damage, ageing, and lobster-red skin situs, but what exactly is it? Maybe you struggled to listen to this bit in science lessons, or the whole number/star system has gotten too tricky to keep track of. Unlike many skincare products, you can tell exactly what your sun cream is doing, just by looking at the bottle (factor, star rating, the whole lot), so to get you all clued up on covering up, it’s time for a lesson in SPF. By Rachel Spedding

Heaps of summer beauty myths have been doing the rounds since way-back-when – the whole lemon juice in your hair thing, aftersun in the fridge, yogurt on burnt skin? We thought it was about time someone spoke up. No more bypassing the SPF for a ‘golden (crispy) tan’. Get ready to revise everything you thought you knew about summer beauty. By Danielle Petch

A bit like when your mum cut your fringe in primary school, but much cooler. Baby bangs, micro fringe, mini fringe; Audrey Hepburn put the cropped cut on the map, Uma Thurman’s was killer in Pulp Fiction, and my Instagram feed reminds me on the daily why heading to the salon would be a good idea.  The conventional ‘mini fringe’ is cut straight for a fresh, modern vibe. It’s kind of edgy, it’s laidback, and it looks great if your face is a little longer (a short-cut fringe will accentuate roundness). The thinned-out mini fringe is a little quirkier –…

It’s a confusing world of ‘coffins’ and ‘squovals’ out there, so we thought we’d clear things up. Turns out, there’s a science behind your nail shape: from lengthening short nails, to shapes that suit ‘wider’ fingers, there’s a style to suit everyone (though please don't start hating on your fingers, we're all beauties, no matter how large your knuckles may be). To brush up on your nail shape knowledge, and for a little inspiration pre-filing, here are the shapes to know in 2018. As for the colour – neutral, neon, nail art – we’ll leave that bit to you.
