Shalwah Evans is a contributing writer for Glamour, and has more than a decade of experience covering beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and culture. She has worked at several top media companies, including Essence, Vox and People Inc., and has penned stories for dozens of publications, like Consumer Reports, Real Simple, Business insider, Well+Good, and The Cut. She's also tested hundreds of beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and personal care products.

When she's not writing, she's watching more television that the average person, painting art for her home, or watching wig videos on TikTok.
