Before you pitch

Check whether the idea fits Hair Is Curly

A strong pitch includes

  • A clear benefit for curly, wavy, coily or beauty-focused readers
  • Professional knowledge, genuine experience or well-supported research
  • A specific angle that does not duplicate an existing article
  • Reliable sources for scientific, medical or product claims
  • Disclosure of connected brands, clients, employers and links

We normally reject

  • Generic articles created mainly to place a backlink
  • Copied, spun, thin or lightly rewritten content
  • Unverified treatment, hair-loss or medical claims
  • Hidden advertising and misleading product recommendations
  • Casino, gambling, crypto, adult or unrelated submissions
Topics we consider

Write for us about hair care, beauty and relevant style

The proposed article must match our audience and add useful information beyond what is already available on Hair Is Curly.

Porosity, breakage, scalp care and responsible ingredient education.

Editorial requirements

Standards for every guest post submission

01

Original work

The article must not be copied, spun, republished or submitted to several publications at the same time.

02

Reader-first writing

Answer a real question clearly. Avoid filler, keyword stuffing and unnatural search-engine language.

03

Accurate sourcing

Support scientific, health and safety claims with credible primary or authoritative sources.

04

Honest authorship

Do not invent credentials, testing, customer results, quotations or personal experience.

05

Responsible links

Links must be relevant and useful. Final wording, placement and attributes remain editorial decisions.

06

Editorial review

We may revise the title, structure, claims, sources, images, links and wording before approval.

Product reviews: Do not claim firsthand testing unless it genuinely occurred. Research-based assessments must be presented honestly.
