Editorial Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
HairLysia exists to give clear, specific, age-inclusive hair guidance. These are the standards every article is held to, and an honest account of how the work gets made.
Who writes here
HairLysia publishes under a single editorial byline rather than named personal authors. We don’t employ licensed stylists, and we’d rather say so than invent credentials we don’t have. Articles are the work of the HairLysia editorial team, and the publication stands behind them.
How we use AI
Article drafts are AI-assisted. A human editor reviews every article before it publishes — checking claims against sources, cutting what isn’t useful, and correcting what’s wrong. We use AI because it lets a small team cover a wide subject at a consistent standard; we review because a draft is not the same thing as an article. Our images are AI-generated illustrations of the styles described, not photographs of real clients.
Sourcing
Where we cite science, we link the primary source rather than a secondhand summary, so you can check the claim yourself. Where the evidence is thin, we say so instead of overselling it. We describe techniques as published practice and mainstream stylist consensus — not as personal testing, because we don’t test products or techniques ourselves.
Accuracy and updates
We stamp each article with a last-updated date and revisit evergreen pieces as trends and evidence change. We update the date only when the content substantively changes. Outdated advice gets revised, not quietly deleted.
Corrections
Mistakes get fixed in the open. Email corrections@hairlysia.com and we’ll update the piece and note the change.
Independence
Editorial coverage is independent of any commercial relationship. We are an informational publication and do not let sponsorship dictate verdicts.
