Disclosure

Last Updated: October 19, 2025

At Pretty Ideas (https://outfitian.com), we believe in transparency and building trust with our readers. This Disclosure page explains our relationships with brands, how we may earn income from this website, and our commitment to honest and ethical content.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We are committed to providing honest, unbiased, and helpful hairstyle ideas and hair care information. This Disclosure page is designed to help you understand:

  • How we may earn money from this website
  • Our relationships with brands and companies
  • How we maintain editorial independence
  • Our commitment to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines

Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

What Are Affiliate Links?

Pretty Ideas participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our Site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These links are called “affiliate links.”

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

We may participate in various affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

  • Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
  • Other Affiliate Networks: We may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers, hair product brands, beauty supply stores, and service providers.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase:

  1. You are redirected to the retailer’s website
  2. Your purchase is tracked through our unique affiliate link
  3. We receive a small commission (typically 2-10% of the sale)
  4. You pay the same price – affiliate commissions do not increase your cost

Our Affiliate Promise

We only recommend products and services that:

  • We believe may be valuable to our readers
  • Are relevant to hairstyling and hair care
  • Fit within the context of our content
  • We would genuinely recommend to friends and family

Important clarifications:

  • Not all product links are affiliate links
  • We have not personally tested every product we mention
  • Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial decisions
  • We are not responsible for the quality or performance of affiliate products
  • We do not control pricing, availability, or shipping from affiliate partners

Your Choice

You are never obligated to click affiliate links or make purchases. You can:

  • Choose to search for products independently
  • Navigate directly to retailer websites
  • Shop wherever you prefer
