Sarah Hyland Shares Inspiring Message for 'Fellow Invisible Illness Warriors'

Sarah Hyland has never been shy about sharing health updates with the world. In 2017, the Modern Family star revealed to fans that she had to undergo a kidney transplant as she was born with kidney dysplasia, a chronic health condition caused when the kidneys fail to develop fully in the womb. However, the actress is now sharing another part of her wellness journey: her fight against insecurity.

“To my fellow #invisibleillness warriors. It’s ok to be insecure about your body,” Hyland shared in a new Instagram post alongside a paparazzi shot of her leaving the gym. “Just remember to check in with yourself at least once a day and say thank you. Our bodies have endured unfathomable feats that our minds barely have time to comprehend what has actually happened.”

Hyland went on to explain, “With inflammation, excess water gain, and medications, my skin has a hard time bouncing back. I saw this picture and HATED it but quickly readjusted my attitude and decided to celebrate it. Love yourself and be patient. We are all stronger than we think we are.”

Just a few months ago, Hyland shared another snap to the social media platform in an effort to openly discuss her body issues. In the older post, Hyland wrote in part, “And a final thank you to my ever-changing self-confidence for making the decision to not wear Spanx and let my KUPA (kidney upper pussy area) shine like the badass bitch she is.”

Indeed, the term KUPA has become a favorite one of both Hyland and her fans. In the comments of her most recent post, one follower wrote, “Thank you for reminding me this. Also thank you for making up the term KUPA (Kidney Upper Pussy Area) I will now always refer to my lower right abdomen as that.” Another added, “Yes! Real bodies that battle everyday are beautiful. Love that you posted this.”

Long story short, keep the body positivity posts coming, Hyland, because every body is here for it.

Invisible Layers Are the Best Haircut for Subtle Volume

Thanks in part to Jennifer Aniston, a whole generation of women chopped their hair into flippy layers, never to return to the style again. While the term “layers” may bring to mind flashbacks of a choppy cut that needed heavy styling, the technique has had an overhaul in recent years and is now so much more less work. “Invisible layers” are the secret for adding that whole cool-without-trying thing to your haircut in a totally modern way, no harsh layers in sight.

“The most modern variation of layering is a slight angle around your face, usually starting around your chin and working its way down to the length,” says celebrity hairstylist Alex Brown. If you’ve ever looked at literally any it-girl’s —Suki Waterhouse, Alexa Chung, Chloë Grace Moretz—perfectly tussled shag cut and wondered how she gets all that movement without sacrificing length, invisible layers are to thank. The trick is to keep the layers long and seamless to take out weight, and add texture and volume without looking too obvious. “Blending the layers is very important—they have to be cut properly to look seamless,” says Brown. “Using a technique to remove weight from the ends will make the layers appear very soft and blended.”

According to Joel Warren, founder and creator of The Salon Project, this technique works best for fine hair and anyone who wants that effortless, wavy look nearly every influencer has on Instagram. “Seamless layers are created by blending the ends of the hair and keeping a straight line while doing this,” says Warren. “This way the hair that is cut falls smoothly on top of one another to eliminate choppiness.”

In addition to movement, another benefit of this style is that it instantly defines your face and brings all the attention right to your cheekbones. “How the hair frames and hits your face can completely change your overall face shape,” says Brown. “I love a layer that hits near the cheekbone to accentuate it.” She recommends asking your stylist for slight layering around your face (just past the chin) to open up your face and add movement, as well as very light layering through the interior.

If you’re currently growing out choppy layers, fear not, as you can transition to invisible ones, it’s just going to take some time. Brown says to be patient, and under no circumstances let anyone add more layers. Instead, she suggests wearing your hair up or wavy to hide the layers, and get a trim every three to four months to clean the ends. She also says to only have your stylist cut out weight, not length. In no time you’ll have the face-framing, shaggy layers of your dreams. Consider yourself an honorary it-girl.
