Hair of the Week: Keri Hilson Purple Tip Braids

Hair of the Week Keri Hilson Purple Tip Braids

We have been spotting this fab hairstyle a lot lately on the streets. Fashionistas are sporting long, thin French braids that even go beyond waist length. This style is great for protection and perfect for on-the-go ladies looking for an easy to maintain style.

Pretty Keri Hilson rocked her version of the look and even showed it off on the Gram. Hilson’s braids added a little more oomph to this hair trend by incorporating purple tips. We absolutely love it, it’s a very subtle addition that allows you to showcase your wild side.

Common Relaxer Hair Mistake

common hair relaxer mistake

One common mistake many women make when relaxing their hair is not removing the chemicals from their tresses properly. Letting such harsh elements remain in and on your locks could result in damage. After chemically treating your hair you must neutralize it to stop the process from continuing.

It is very important to remove all of the relaxer from your locks to avoid causing hair breakage. Pay special attention to the neck and nape areas. How often should you wait to perform your next perm treatment? Unless you have a shorter hair length you should wait between 6-12 weeks before receiving your next relaxer.

Beauty Myth: Sleeping on Your Side Causes Wrinkles

Sleeping On Your Side Causes Wrinkles

Beauty Quickie: This myth is actually true…burying your face in your pillow may not be the best idea. Sleeping on your side for extended amounts of time can cause wrinkles to form around your peepers prematurely. So if you are trying to get your hands on the fountain of youth you can start by sleeping on your back. It may feel funny at first, but trust your face will literally thank you later.

Clean as a Whistle

Beauty Quickie: Do not over clean or wash your face. If you completely strip your skin of all nutrients you run the risk of developing dryness and irritation. Maintaining your skin’s natural oils are actually beneficial for having great skin. It is your skin’s natural oils that can help combat acne as well as premature aging. When purchasing a facial cleanser always shop for one that is PH based.

Beauty Quickie: When is the best time to apply firming creams to your skin? Beauty experts from around the world agree that the best time to firm up with your firming moisturizer is at night before bedtime. During the sleep your skin works overtime to repair itself from the day’s stresses so this time period provides the perfect background for rejuvenation.

Nevertheless, what ingredients should you look for in a good firming moisturizer? Aim for creams that contain ginseng, seaweed and caffeine extract to help keep your skin toned and youthful looking.

Quick Tip: Forgot to moisturize with your firming cream last night? You can derive the same benefits with application in the morning after you have showered. Problem solved!
