A note from our team

We spend our days talking about hair, and one of our favourite things is sharing the little details that make a difference. This month, we’re answering questions we hear behind the chair—from finding a colour that complements you to creating volume that actually lasts. Consider this your little November beauty lesson. Love, The Beverly Team.

How do I know what hair colour suits me?

Start with the little clues. Does gold or silver jewellery make your complexion look brighter? Do you notice golden flecks or cool tones in your eyes? Try holding ivory and bright white near your face in natural daylight and see which makes you feel more radiant.

A little trick: look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in natural daylight. Blue or purple can suggest cooler undertones; green can suggest warmer ones. Together with jewellery, eye colour and contrast, these are clues we use to start the conversation—not strict rules.

Toffee Bronde — Our Current Colour Crush

Not quite blonde, not quite brunette. We’re loving the return of warmth in hair colour right now. Think honey, caramel and beautiful ribbons of golden dimension. It’s rich, versatile and feels especially beautiful heading into winter.

What haircut will look good on me?

One of our favourite things about hair is how much it can do. We can draw attention to your eyes, highlight your cheekbones, define a jawline or soften angles. We look at where to create width, where a little length might work beautifully, and which features you love.

Sometimes it’s as simple as changing a part, where a fringe falls or where layers begin. A great haircut doesn’t change your features—it gives you a way to highlight them.

Why does my blowout always fall flat?

The little things we do differently when we want BIG hair.

Less weight: When maximum volume is the goal, avoid heavy conditioning and smoothing creams near the roots. Keep fragile ends conditioned.

Lift while rough-drying: Try taking off the nozzle for the initial rough-dry, moving the roots in every direction. Put it back on for controlled brush styling.

Dry against your part: Lift the roots up and over to the opposite side, then flip back.

Brush up, not down: Place the round brush under the roots and lift the section upward, slightly forward, rather than pulling straight down. Direct the nozzle down the hair shaft as you shape the lengths.

Let it cool: Heat creates the shape; cooling sets it. That’s why large rollers work—they let the hair cool in a rounded shape. Wait until they’re completely cool to remove them.

Our roller pick: Kitsch Ceramic Thermal Rollers 8pc Set. These self-gripping rollers help set volume as your hair cools.

Why does my hair feel different in winter?

Calgary’s dry air, indoor heating and friction from winter clothing can leave hair static, tangled and rough. Think moisture and softness: use a mask in place of conditioner when you need it, try a leave-in, add a little oil to the ends and wash as often as your scalp actually needs.

Moisture or repair? Bond builders target certain kinds of damage. Conditioners and masks help with softness, manageability and friction. Sometimes hair needs both—just in a different balance.

For curls: Try conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends before shampooing to reduce tangles. Cleanse your scalp and condition again as needed.

Winter wardrobe trick: Before heading outdoors, try a loose braid or gently tuck your lengths into your coat to protect them from winter wind and help prevent tangling.

Girl dinner

Brown-butter sage popcorn, a good movie and nowhere to be.

Serving inspiration

1. Brown the butter. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sage and swirl gently as the butter cooks.

2. Watch for golden. Lift out the sage as soon as it crisps. When the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, immediately pour it into a heatproof bowl to stop it cooking.

3. Toss and settle in. Drizzle the warm butter over the popcorn a little at a time, tossing between additions. Crumble over the sage, add salt to taste and press play.

Your November soundtrack

Warm soul, French pop and a little disco for getting ready, slow mornings and everything in between.
