Write for Us Hair: Hair Blog Guest Post Guidelines

The results for hair write for us are an odd mix: brands asking customers for reviews, freelance job ads, salon partnership news and word lists for writers describing hair in fiction. There's hardly a page that tells a stylist or barber how to share what they know. That gap is the opening here. I'd love to hear from the colourist who can explain why a colour went brassy and how she corrected it, the barber who's built a full book of regulars, or the salon owner who's cut down missed appointments.

Who reads this? Business owners, freelancers and creators, and a good number of them run salons, rent chairs or style hair for themselves. My guides to becoming a hairdresser, salon booking software and barber shop software are among the pages they use. A hair post needs to help them look after clients or grow the business, so it can't just be a trend roundup.

60-second hair guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work as a stylist, barber, colourist or salon owner, or write about hair care
• Is your advice tied to hair type, so readers know whether it applies to them
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you avoided medical claims about hair loss or regrowth
• Would a newly qualified hairdresser learn something they can use with clients

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders

• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong hair pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd like to write about the best hair products of the year." A strong one says "I'm a curly hair specialist, and I want to explain how I read a client's curl pattern at the consultation, the three routine changes I suggest first, and why I tell some clients to stop using a product they love." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Reading curl pattern at a consultation
• Why colour turns brassy and how a colourist corrects it
• Filling a column as a newly qualified stylist
• Protective styles that look after the hairline
• A no show policy clients don't resent
• Heat tools and the settings a stylist would choose
• Barbering skills worth learning in the first year
• What makes a client rebook before they leave the chair

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept hair guest posts?

Yes. Hair guest posts are welcome from stylists, barbers, colourists, salon owners and hair care writers with real experience. We publish practical care, technique and salon business advice and decline medical claims, miracle products and brand written promotion.

What hair topics do you accept?

Curly and textured hair care, cut and colour technique, routines by hair type, protective styles, styling tools, building a client base and running a salon, including bookings and no shows. Every pitch should teach something a client or stylist can use.

Do you accept beauty or skincare guest posts too?

Yes, but makeup and skin pitches suit the beauty and skincare pages better. Whichever page you use, it's the same editor reading, and the bar stays put: experienced, specific and fair to readers.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a hair guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience cutting, colouring or styling hair, or running a salon. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
