Disclosure
Last Updated: September 8, 2026
At Styles Edit, transparency is important to us. This Disclosure explains how our website may earn money, how commercial relationships may affect content, and how we approach sponsored, affiliate, gifted, and collaborative content.
Styles Edit is an independent online publication available at https://styles-edit.com/.
Our content focuses primarily on hairstyles, haircuts, hair colors, beauty inspiration, seasonal trends, styling ideas, and related topics.
1. General Disclosure
Styles Edit may receive compensation from certain commercial relationships.
This compensation may come through advertising, affiliate commissions, sponsored content, brand collaborations, product features, or other legitimate website monetization methods.
Not every article contains a commercial relationship.
Where a material commercial relationship exists and disclosure is appropriate, we aim to make that relationship clear to readers.
2. Affiliate Relationships
Some articles may contain affiliate links.
When a reader clicks an affiliate link and completes a qualifying purchase, Styles Edit may receive a commission.
This does not normally increase the purchase price for the reader.
Affiliate relationships help support the website and its ongoing content.
The FTC recommends that material connections between endorsers and brands be disclosed clearly and conspicuously, rather than hidden in a general terms page or placed somewhere readers are unlikely to notice.
3. Sponsored Content
Styles Edit may occasionally publish sponsored content or participate in paid campaigns.
Sponsored content may involve payment or another form of compensation from a brand or company.
When content is sponsored, we aim to identify its commercial nature clearly so readers can understand the relationship.
We do not intend to present paid advertising as independent editorial content without appropriate disclosure.
4. Gifted Products
A brand or company may occasionally provide a product or service to Styles Edit or one of its contributors without requiring a purchase.
If a product is provided in connection with content, that relationship may require disclosure depending on the circumstances.
Receiving a product does not automatically mean that Styles Edit will publish positive coverage.
5. Product Recommendations
Styles Edit may mention products because they are relevant to an article or topic.
A product recommendation should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the product is appropriate for every person.
Readers should check the manufacturer’s current information before purchasing or using a product.
6. Honest Opinions
Where Styles Edit provides an opinion about a product, trend, hairstyle, or service, the intention is to communicate information and inspiration honestly.
We do not intend to knowingly make false claims about products or services.
Commercial relationships should not be understood as permission to publish misleading statements.
FTC guidance emphasizes that endorsements should be truthful and not misleading and that material connections should be disclosed.
7. Pinterest and Social Platforms
Styles Edit may promote its content through Pinterest and other social media platforms.
Some social posts may include links to articles containing affiliate relationships, sponsored content, or other commercial material.
Where appropriate, relevant disclosures should accompany the commercial content rather than being hidden only on a separate general information page.
8. Advertising
Styles Edit may display advertisements from third-party advertising providers.
Advertisements may be selected or delivered by external advertising systems.
The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that Styles Edit independently recommends or guarantees the advertised company, product, or service.
9. Collaborations
Styles Edit may collaborate with brands, creators, businesses, photographers, designers, or other organizations.
A collaboration may involve payment, products, services, promotional opportunities, content contributions, or another form of value.
Where a collaboration creates a material connection that readers should know about, appropriate disclosure may be provided.
10. Editorial Independence
Styles Edit aims to maintain a clear distinction between editorial inspiration and commercial relationships.
Payment or compensation does not automatically mean that a brand controls every aspect of an article.
However, individual collaboration agreements may contain specific requirements concerning factual information, product details, trademarks, or campaign materials.
11. Image Relationships
Some visual content may be supplied by brands, collaborators, photographers, creators, or other third parties.
Where appropriate, Styles Edit may provide image credits or identify the source of visual material.
Copyright ownership remains with the applicable copyright holder unless ownership has been legally transferred or otherwise established.
12. Tina Franklin
Tina Franklin is an author and editorial contributor to Styles Edit.
Tina may contribute to articles, guides, trend roundups, and other content published on the website.
Her authorship should not be interpreted as a personal endorsement of every product, brand, retailer, image, or service mentioned throughout the website.
13. Changes to This Disclosure
Our commercial relationships and monetization methods may change.
Styles Edit may update this Disclosure when necessary to reflect new affiliate relationships, advertising arrangements, collaborations, sponsored content, or other material changes.
14. Contact
If you have a question about a sponsorship, affiliate relationship, collaboration, product feature, image credit, or other disclosure, please contact Styles Edit through the contact information provided on our website.
Final Note
Transparency is an important part of building trust with readers. Styles Edit aims to make commercial relationships understandable while continuing to publish useful and inspiring content for people interested in beauty, hairstyles, and personal style.
