Dandruff can be quite the embarrassing pest, but have no fear you can conquer this hair woe. If you are noticing that shampooing with any regular shampoo isn’t doing the trick anymore, it is time to move on to anti-dandruff shampoos. However, not all anti-dandruff shampoos are created equal, the ingredients listed on the back of any product bottle will clue you in to what is best. When shopping for an anti-dandruff shampoo look for a product that contains one of the following:

Salicylic Acid
Zinc Pyrithione

These ingredients help to stop and prevent flakes from becoming out of control. Nevertheless, you should never forget that your scalp can eventually become immune to a shampoo’s effect over time. Therefore, it is highly recommended rotate your preferred brands at least once a month.

Alicia SuggsUpdated on April 14, 2014April 13, 2014Leave a Comment

Coachella is a musical festival that highlights not only amazing up and coming artists, but today’s most popular established chart toppers as well. Therefore, it was fitting that flamboyant songstress, Solange, take to the stage and was even joined by her mega pop star sister, Beyonce. While everyone focused in on the music, we zoomed in on their luscious locks of hair.

Big hair don’t care was in full in effect as the sisters shook and gyrated while swinging their curly locks to Solange’s song, Losing You. Beyonce swung her trademark blonde hair and Solange’s tresses was a la Diana Ross. If you plan on stealing a page from these ladies’ style book, be sure to keep your strands well moisturized. Curly hair tends to be drier and needs hydration to stay looking fresh and beautiful. Beyonce and Solange performed together at Coachella at the Empire Polo Club on April 12 in Indio, California.

Diesel’s Only the Brave 2014 Colognes

Alicia SuggsUpdated on April 14, 2014April 13, 2014Leave a Comment

Your man will thank you as he drenches himself in a bottle of man-power greatness that is oozing of masculinity. We have found a kick-butt product that is guy approved and woman appreciated. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is Diesel’s colognes for 2014, you just have to experience them for yourself.

They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but in this case we think that rule should go out the window. A product’s presentation only heightens the excitement that can be derived from its use and if that is true then Diesel has hit the nail on it’s head. Diesel’s 2014 colognes pack a powerful punch (literally), they are actually shaped as fists accompanied with knuckle rings that say “Diesel.” HOT!

If you have a strong man that thinks he can be an action hero, then this probably is the perfect gift for him. Only The Brave comes in two different bottles, Only The Brave Tattoo (black) and Only The Brave The Original (blue). Happy gifting ladies!
