Hair Is Curly is a reader-supported publication. This page explains, in plain language, how this website earns money and what that means for you.
Affiliate links
Some links on Hair Is Curly go to retailer or brand websites, such as Amazon or a product’s official store. These are called affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited the retailer directly.
You can usually recognize these links on our product cards and inside our reviews, and pages that contain them carry a short disclosure notice like this one.
What affiliate links do not change
Our opinion is not for sale. A commission never decides what we recommend. Every product review on Hair Is Curly follows the same rules:
- We tell you who a product suits and who should skip it, even when that costs us a sale.
- If the author has not personally tested a product, the article says so instead of pretending otherwise.
- We check prices before publishing, but retailers change them often — always confirm the final price on the retailer’s own checkout page.
- We never publish fake ratings, fake reviews, or fake testimonials.
Advertising
Hair Is Curly displays advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense. Ads are supplied by advertising networks and are not endorsements by Hair Is Curly. Ad partners may use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy, and visitors in the EEA, UK, and certain US states are shown a consent message with real choices.
Sponsored content
From time to time we may publish sponsored posts or accept gifted products. When that happens, the article is clearly labeled as sponsored, and any links a sponsor pays for are marked so search engines treat them as advertising. Payment never buys a positive verdict — sponsors get honest coverage or none at all.
Buying through external retailers
When a button on Hair Is Curly takes you to another website, your purchase happens on that website, under its prices, shipping, returns, and customer-service policies. Hair Is Curly does not process or fulfil those orders. Questions about an order should go to the seller shown at checkout.
Why we do it this way
Commissions and ads are what keep our guides free to read and pay the licensed stylists, trichologists, and dermatologists who write and review our content. Being upfront about that is part of the same promise our articles make: no fluff, no fake claims.
