Share Your Expertise With Women Who Actually Need It
Hair Is Curly publishes expert-backed, science-grounded content written by real professionals. If you’re a dermatologist, hairstylist, trichologist, or nutritionist with something worth saying, we want to hear from you.
Not Another Generic Hair Blog
Hair Is Curly exists because most hair care advice online is recycled, unverified, and written by people who’ve never touched a client’s hair. We do things differently. Every article on our site is written by a credentialed professional, backed by real research, and reviewed for accuracy before it goes live.
Our readers are women in the US and UK who are tired of vague tips and product-push content. They come to us for answers they can trust. That’s the standard we hold every contributor to, whether they’re on our core team or writing as a guest.

What We Expect From Every Submission
We review every piece before it goes live. These aren’t suggestions. They’re requirements.
100% Original, Human-Written
No AI-generated content. No spun articles. No repurposed posts from other sites. We check everything. If it reads like a machine wrote it, we reject it.
Credible Sources Required
Every medical or scientific claim needs a real source. We prioritize .gov, .edu, PubMed, NIH, and peer-reviewed journals. No random blogs or affiliate sites.
Expert Voice, Not Generic Advice
Write from your actual experience. Client stories, professional observations, things you’ve seen work or fail. We don’t publish content that could’ve been written by anyone with Google access.
Clean Structure & Readability
Proper heading hierarchy (H2, H3). Short paragraphs. Tables, lists, or visual elements where they help the reader. No walls of text.
Quality Images
Include relevant, high-resolution images. Original photos preferred. If using stock, ensure they’re royalty-free. We add proper alt text for accessibility and SEO.
No Promotional Content
We’re not a billboard. If your article reads like a sales page for a brand or service, it won’t make it past our editorial review. Genuine recommendations based on professional experience are welcome.
We Work With Real Professionals
Hair Is Curly isn’t an open submission blog where anyone can publish. We maintain editorial standards because our readers depend on us for accurate, trustworthy information. That means we need contributors who actually know what they’re talking about.

- Professional Hairstylists (5+ years experience)
- Certified Trichologists
- Registered Dietitians and Nutritionists

Before You Pitch
We don’t offer monetary compensation at this time. Contributors receive 2 permanent dofollow backlinks, a full author profile with credentials and social links, and exposure to our growing audience of health-conscious women in the US and UK.
There’s no strict word count. Cover your topic thoroughly without padding. Most published articles fall between 1,200 and 2,000 words, but a strong 900-word piece beats a bloated 2,500-word one every time. Quality over length.
We require exclusive content. Once published on Hair Is Curly, the article stays exclusive to our site. This protects both our SEO and yours. You’re welcome to link to your published piece from your own website or social media.
It depends on your experience. If you have significant, demonstrable expertise in hair care, skin care, or beauty (10+ years in the industry, published research, recognized authority in your field), we’re open to hearing your pitch. Include your background and relevant work samples.
