Write for Us: Hair, Beauty, Fashion and Honest Reviews
Have useful experience, a sharp idea and something original to say? Hair Is Curly accepts carefully reviewed pitches from professionals and knowledgeable contributors who can help readers make better choices.
We Want Helpful Work, Not a Backlink in a Trench Coat
Our readers come for practical hair, beauty and style guidance. Every accepted article must fit that audience, answer a real question and add something that is not already sitting in fifty near-identical search results.
You do not need to sound academic. You do need to be accurate. Professional experience, careful research, original photographs, personal testing and clearly explained limitations all make a pitch stronger.
Choose the Right Write for Us Category
Pick the closest category and show us the specific problem your article will solve. A clear angle beats a broad idea every time.

What Every Submission Must Get Right
These standards protect readers, contributors and the site. They are requirements, not decorative website furniture.
Original and accountable
Submit work created for Hair Is Curly. The named author must personally review every claim, example and recommendation before submission.
Experience must be described honestly
Tell readers whether you personally tested a product, used a technique professionally, interviewed a source or relied on documented research. Never manufacture a salon story or product test.
Claims need suitable sources
Link medical, scientific and safety claims to primary research, government guidance or recognized professional organizations. A retailer description is acceptable for price or product specifications, not proof that a treatment works.
Readable, direct and useful
Use short paragraphs, descriptive headings and lists or tables only when they improve understanding. Answer the main question early and remove padding that does not help the reader.
No hidden promotion
Disclose brand relationships, free products, commissions and conflicts of interest. Promotional copy, paid link placement and keyword-rich backlinks are not accepted.
Images need permission and purpose
Send original or properly licensed images that clarify the topic. Include ownership details and identify illustrative or generated visuals so they are not mistaken for genuine results.
Show the Evidence Behind Your Verdict
A good review explains how the conclusion was reached. If you have not personally tested the product, say so in the pitch.
- State how long, how often and on which hair or skin type the product was used.
- Include price, size, important ingredients, application and realistic limitations.
- Explain what it does better or worse than a relevant alternative.
- Include original photographs when claiming firsthand results.
- Disclose gifted products and brand relationships in line with the FTC disclosure guidance.
Pitch the Idea Before Writing the Article
A short, specific email is enough. Please do not send a finished article, a folder of unrelated drafts or a message addressed to every editor on the internet.
Choose one focused topic
Explain the reader’s problem, your proposed angle and why the topic belongs on Hair Is Curly.
Send a brief outline
Include a working title and three to six main sections. Mention the evidence or firsthand experience you can provide.
Introduce yourself
Share relevant credentials, work experience, published samples and any brand relationship connected with the pitch.
Wait for editorial approval
If the idea fits, we will reply with scope, format and submission instructions. Approval of a pitch does not guarantee publication.
What Published Contributors Receive
Publication is based on editorial value, not link placement.
A named byline
Your article is credited to you, with an accurate biography and relevant qualifications.
Thoughtful editing
We may edit structure, wording, links and claims for clarity, accuracy and consistency.
A relevant profile link
One appropriate website or portfolio link may be included after editorial review. Links are qualified when necessary.
Before You Email
Do you pay guest contributors?
We do not currently offer payment for unsolicited guest contributions. Any paid assignment would be agreed in writing before work begins.
Do I need professional credentials?
Not for every topic. Hairstyle inspiration or an honest product-use article may rely on demonstrated experience. Medical, scalp, nutrition and treatment claims require suitable qualifications and strong evidence.
Can writing tools or AI be used?
Tools may assist with organization or proofreading, but the author remains responsible for the work. We reject fabricated experience, unsupported claims, copied material and bulk-generated drafts that add no original value.
What article length do you prefer?
There is no automatic word target. Cover the question completely and stop when the useful answer is finished. We prefer a focused 1,000-word article to 2,500 words of polite wandering.
Can I include links to my website or client?
You may suggest one relevant profile or portfolio link. We do not accept paid links, keyword-rich anchors or links inserted primarily to influence search rankings. Final links remain an editorial decision.
Can the article be published somewhere else?
Accepted articles must be original and exclusive to Hair Is Curly unless a different arrangement is approved in writing. You may share and link to the published article from your own platforms.
Do you accept sponsored posts?
Not through this contributor process. Commercial proposals must be clearly identified and reviewed separately. Paying for a post does not buy an unqualified link or a positive product verdict.
Have a Pitch Worth Opening?
Send the working title, short outline, your relevant experience and links to two writing samples. Keep it focused. Our inbox will thank you.
