Darkyonce -The Fierce Beyoncé Hair Color We LOVE!

Darkyonce

The return of Darkyonce was everything we wanted, hoped for and dreamt of. Yes, Beyoncé is a beautiful woman, but we would be completely lying if we said we didn’t love her with darker toned hair.

For a couple of decades now, Bey has become known for several signature things…observe:

Darkyonce

hard dancing,

Darkyonce
a leotard,

Darkyonce
vocals

Darkyonce
and of course, blonde tresses.

In the hairstyle department… It doesn’t matter if her strands have been short, long, curly or straight. The constant of her look has consistently been to be a blonde.

However, it’s not a bad thing in any way. It’s a look Mrs. Carter has effortlessly maintained through multiple albums, tours, pregnancies and award seasons. Plus, heck, don’t blondes have more fun? (We’ll answer that, at times yes lol).

And fun she has definitely had with her looks. The queen always seems to dance to the beat of her own drum when it comes to her personal style and flair.

So then, where did the return of dark hair Beyoncé occur? The singer and her hip hop mogul husband, Jay Z, were spotted at a Houston Rockets game. The couple sat court side catching plenty of fan and camera attention.

Darkyonce

Beyoncé wore an eye-popping ensemble by Marine Serre. Instantly, her “moon” printed leggings became a couture hot topic. While most of us rock a pair between $20-$50; Queen Bey did it up! She hit the scene in the Marine Serre Women’s Moon-Print Footed Leggings in Black which retails for… wait for it… $515.

Darkyonce

Yes, that was just the price of the Queen’s leggings. Oh us peasants (Lol). Nevertheless, if it’s been a good month and you’d like to splurge on Beyoncé’s leggings you can find them online at Barney’s New York.

Darkyonce

However, we digress. This posting is supposed to be about hair. You see, we love Beyoncé with darker hair because it we believe it brings out her beautiful features. Her eyes, cheeks and skin tone just seem to pop more.

We’re glad she brought it back after a long dark hair sighting drought. How long she’ll keep it remains to be seen. Nonetheless, it’s a great look that can’t be ignored. Welcome back Darkyonce we missed you!

Janet Jackson Hairstyle -Her New Curly Look for the New Year

Janet Jackson Hairstyle

At first glance, Janet’s curly do’ seems to be a modern take on an old classic. If you recall back when Got ’til It’s Gone, What About, Go Deep and I Get Lonely was ruling the charts; Janet rocked a head full of glamorous copper-red tone ringlets. The style is a look Janet not only used for her album cover that year, but in a plethora of videos and photoshoots.

Janet Jackson Hairstyle

Nevertheless, Jackson is back to performing and she seems to be back to one of her iconic hairstyles, i.e. VR days. Fans got a first glance and glimpse thanks to photographer, Solaiman Fazel. Fazel captured Janet backstage getting ready before she hit the stage out west in the United States. Janet was performing in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas.

Now while there is a hard, fast rule that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Jackson’s new look broke that unspoken standard in all of two seconds. Janet Jackson posted a pic of herself posed in front of a mirror in all her curl glory with the caption, “New Year, new look.”

Will this iconic queen keep this look for the rest of the year? Probably not, because she is the master of reinvention. However, for now we love it and are glad to still she here switching up her chic hair game.

Scam on Instagram: Wig Scammers, Fake Ads and Fake Hair Accounts

Scam on Instagram

There is a huge scam on Instagram right now and it involves wigs, fake ads; and fake hair accounts. Have you seen them? Most likely, you have.

These awful folks have been following and spreading their harmful lies for the last few months. Worst part, is that Instagram has done absolutely nothing about it. These scammers are still roaming free looking for their next victim.

However, YOU do not have to be a casualty and get conned out of your coins. All you have to do is be aware of what’s going on; and be sure not to get involved with such people, ads or accounts. What signs should you look for?

Scam on Instagram: Wig Scammers, Fake Ads and Fake Hair Accounts

Scam on Instagram

Influencer Brittanie Evans laid it all out on the table in order to protect her fans as well as other hair enthusiasts. She says,

“Seriously, Instagram! I see so many hair stylist, wig makers; and wig review videos STOLEN and used to scam people out of their money — on Instagram! Every day, I am followed by dozens and dozens of fake hair pages. All with the same photos and stolen pictures.

I have seen ads where they will crop the video and put their fake business name or steal a review video; and say the hair is theirs. I mean, sometimes they don’t even care if the video has another business name on it. They will steal it and advertise its their wig for $20. Then you read the comments and all the women are complaining that they ordered and they received a fake shiny Party City wig.

Scam on Instagram

It’s beyond ridiculous. I report every fake ad and page that I see but there are so many and more with every scroll. These fake pages have even purchased comments and likes to further scam you into thinking they are real. AND if that doesn’t work, they have gone so far to create an account to advertise another “fake” account in the stolen ad video comments. IT”S CRAZY! I am so sick of this. Do something about it, Instagram!”

Scam on Instagram: Wig Scammers, Fake Ads and Fake Hair Accounts (Continued)

As one can see, there is some major foul play going on the Gram. Plus, with lace front wigs and extensions being so trendy, that leaves a lot of women vulnerable to being taken advantage of and suffering a hair “L.”

Nevertheless, as Brittanie stated, while online you have to be very mindful of stolen images, fake users and fake comments. So far these scams are still very prevalent on Instagram so BEWARE. Watch out for yourself and your fellow girlfriend; so that you can keep your cash instead of getting sent some fake trash.

CurlFest 2018

CurlFest 2018 left the entire natural hair realm shooketh! We’re talking curl comradery, peace, love and undeniable black beauty appreciation. This amazing event is now the world’s largest hair festival and this year it went down in Brooklyn at Prospect Park.

We have had a ball checking out all the gorgeous hair and fashion style looks from ladies from all over who were in attendance. It was VERY difficult to narrow down a few of our favorites to just 75. However, we think we may have done it.

Moreover, if you are looking for inspiration to go natural OR new hairstyle ideas; you will definitely find both. PLUS, as a little fun extra we will be including some helpful natural hair tips along the way. So then, enjoy our Curlfest 2018 album and happy natural hair!

Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.

If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.

The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!

As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.

Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!

Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

Tamera Mowry

As all curly girls know, your strands are only as beautiful and manageable as your product arsenal. Here’s what Rachel keeps in hers get Tamera Mowry glamorous curls! Mason states,

“I want to give a shout out to Deva Curl for providing us over on The Real with some of your styling products and tools. They get Tamera Mowry’s curls so luscious and fluffy. And for those of you who wanted to know  what we use on Tamera’s hair, well here it is.”

Tamera Mowry

Deva Curl is absolutely amazing especially if you are currently wearing your tresses curly or wavy. The products are affordable and effective. Plus, they even have styling tools to make hair drying a cinch. Nevertheless, are there any other products Mason would strongly recommend for the curly and wavy hair squad? There is! She says,

“Product of choice today [is] Shea Moisture’s new product Red Palm Oil and Cocoa Butter [collection] for shrinkage prone hair. I tested it on a client and I liked how the Curl Strench Pudding has just enough weight to it to keep the hair from shrinking too much during the dry process.

Tamera Mowry

It’s not drastic but you notice a difference in the hair shrinkage. What’s key during the diffusing is to leave very little dampness in your hair, you don’t want to dry your hair out.”

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel Mason

With numerous awards, celebrity clientele and several hit shows under her belt; we wanted to know what inspires Mason to continue to be so successful in the hair industry. She reveals,

“Yeah so I was at mom’s place and came across these old photos of my pops and granny. Let me just say they are the reasons why I am the professional Hairstylist I am today. They were driven. They were innovative. They had growing hands.

They had knowledge. Skills. Spiritual. They were creative. They were hungry. They were determined.

They had strength during times when we (you know what I mean) weren’t acknowledged for our talents and creations but set pride aside and did what needed to be done to support their family. And honey child I am here to say I got all that in my DNA. 3 generations… different eras.. similar challenges; [and] all good people. I wish they were here today so I could thank them at least; for passing it down to me. Forever grateful.”

Last thing we wanted to know was Mason’s thoughts on the long held black hair question, “What really does it mean to have ‘natural’ hair?” There are so many opinions out there. However, many do not realize being natural does not necessarily refer to hair being curly or coily.

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel B Mason Answers the BIG Question

Tamera Mowry

Therefore, this subject is something we felt a professional view would be cool to have. So then, what does hair stylist, Rachel Mason have to say about it? Rachel states,

“Okay, so I want to make clear what going natural means. It means cutting out any and all chemical services to your hair. No color. No highlights. No relaxers. No perms. Virgin hair.

Easy enough right? I mentioned previously that I was going natural. I am. I am just going through something called a transition stage. You can cut it all off and rock a cute fade if it fits you to do so; rock a TWA or just cut the hair that is chemically treated and start there.

This is MY transition look and I chose to gradually go natural. I like to curl it, press it out or set it on some rods. I personally like the ability to change my hair when I feel like it and not be stuck with one look. I used to be like that once upon a time.

[However] very soon I will be completely natural, free of chemical or have virgin hair. But don’t be surprised if you see some color later down the line for summer! Here’s the thing ladies if you want to do it, do it! Make sure you do it for you and do it right. If you need help or ideas entering your transition speak to your Hair Stylist or just hit me up if you need a little inspiration.”

Fall Hair Trends: Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – The Banana Clip

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

Will the boss ladies please stand up? The Alexander Wang Fall 2018 collection is a modern, yet throwback to the working lady of the 80s. Strong, success-driven, lover of excess and of course, ultra chic!

Nonetheless, no collection is complete without hair and fabulous makeup. For the show, Wang complimented his stunning looks with one simple, but quite noticeable accessory. The banana clip.

Fall Hair Trends: Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – The Banana Clip

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

A hair clip, that’s high fashion? Oh yes, dear! What we love most about this hairstyle and hair accessory combo is that it really exemplifies the attitude of a boss. An entrepreneur is usually busy, attending meetings, running around town and just simple handling things. With that kind of work load sometimes the best one can do is throw their hair in a pony or topknot and call it a day. As a side note, you might also want to try alligator hair clips!

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

Alexander pulls from this business aspect and translates it into a smooth, sophisticated hairstyle. The model’s in the runway show tresses were pulled back with the front kept super slick. After that the now signature silver AW clip was added into the hair mix.

Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – Get the Look

To create this sleek do the Wang Gang called upon the expertise of Redken. Therefore, in order to get the official scoop we went right to the brand. In regards to the runway look and product used Redken reveals,

“This just in the claw clip is back. Redken Global Creative Director, Guido Palau, placed sleek ponytails in sliver clips at Alexander Wang as a nod to the 80s. Guido used Satinwear 04 to blow dry the hair; smoothed hair back with Mess Around 10, and set styles with Forceful 23.”

Hair Notes: One other cool thing we observed about this hair look is the use of double clips. Two AW silver clips were used for the models that had thicker or longer strands. This is a neat trick for curly girls who would like to try this out, but have a lot of volume. By utilizing multiple accessories this style can still be achieved.

However, Allure magazine is diving into a different mindset and space. One where people can try to open and stretch their thoughts or opinions to see not only the beauty, but versatility of curls, waves, coils and kinks.
