Arianne Suggs July 24, 2014July 24, 2014Leave a Comment

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

Arianne Suggs July 23, 2014July 23, 2014Leave a Comment

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 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.
