May was a busy month on Anatomicals Indulgence. We covered everything from the exact order you should apply hair products to why some makeup brands cost a fortune. Whether you’re looking for quick salon etiquette tips or deep‑dive anti‑aging facts, you’ll find something useful here.

Hair & Salon Highlights

We started the month with a step‑by‑step guide on the right order for a hair care routine. The piece shows why shampoo comes first, how conditioner fits in, and where mask or leave‑in serums belong. It also warns against overloading products, which can weigh hair down.

Next, a simple‑to‑follow list of actions to bring dull hair back to life. The article points out common damage sources, picks the best ingredients for repair, and suggests everyday habits that actually work—no expensive gadgets required.

For anyone confused about salon titles, we broke down what to call a female hairstylist. The guide explains the difference between “hairdresser” and “stylist” and gives tips on finding a pro that matches your vibe.

Salon etiquette got its own spotlight with a quick math guide on tipping for a $40 haircut. We show the 15‑20 % rule, explain why tipping matters to stylists, and share a few real‑world anecdotes.

Ever wondered what makes salon hair feel silky? We revealed the key products—deep conditioners, serums, and the occasional spray—that give that glossy finish. The article also lists budget‑friendly alternatives if you don’t want to splurge.

Skin & Makeup Insights

Our cruelty‑free corner answered the burning question: does AVEENO test on animals? The post clarifies the brand’s stance, defines what “cruelty‑free” truly means, and suggests animal‑friendly alternatives.

Choosing makeup got easier with a beginner‑friendly guide. We walk you through matching foundation to skin tone, picking colors that flatter, and spotting ingredient red flags. Even seasoned beauty lovers can pick up a few new tricks.

We also took a hard look at luxury branding, asking if Lancôme belongs in the high‑end category. Pricing, quality, and user reviews were compared, and we gave tips for scoring deals if you decide to splurge.

For fans of clean beauty, the “healthiest cosmetics” article broke down what makes a brand truly organic. It lists brands that prioritize transparency, highlights ingredients to avoid, and warns against greenwashing.

Anti‑aging concerns were tackled with an age‑specific guide on when the face changes most. We explained collagen loss, lifestyle impacts, and recommended treatments that actually deliver results at each decade.

Two posts explored the salon vs parlour debate and the foundation debate for mature skin. One clarified service differences and ambiance, while the other examined whether skipping foundation can help mature skin look fresher.

Finally, we peeked behind the curtain of beauty subscription boxes. The article revealed how these boxes earn money, what costs are often overlooked, and gave advice for anyone thinking about launching their own box.
