Wake Up Your Skin With Coffee

Beauty Quickie: You may need a cup of joe in the mornings to feel somewhat human, but did you know those little brown beans are great for your skin too? By mixing coffee, vanilla extract and sugar (really sounds like you making a cup of coffee huh? LOL) you will have created an excellent exfoliant for your skin. Due to the coffee’s antioxidants and the sugar you will be able to smooth any rough areas to reveal softer skin. Plus, the vanilla extract will provide a tantalizing fragrance that is sure to relax you during the process. So then, go ahead and indulge in a little coffee, it is good for you!

We See You Sun!

Arianne Suggs July 21, 2014July 21, 2014Leave a Comment

When most people think of sun damage the first thing that may come to mind is their skin. However, it is not just your skin you need to be worried about when it comes down to the sun’s harmful rays. The sun literally sucks the moisture out of our hair like a straw in a soda pop can.

Therefore, after prolonged exposure your tresses can begin to look like a character straight out of the Wizard of Oz… straw. To help your locks maintain moisture and lustrous shine you need to wear or use materials to shield them. Hats, scarves and umbrellas are great stylish accessories to get this task done. Also, by styling your hair in a braid or bun can help to protect delicate ends from getting damaged.

Summer Hair Inspiration: Rihanna never goes wrong in the hair or personal style department. Whether loose or curly RiRi shows that a chignon can be flirty and fun!

Our girl Kelly has had short hair, long hair, curly hair and even rocked a mean Afro. The gorgeous singer takes the cake this week due to the hairstyle she wore to the event headlined by basketball superstar, Carmelo Anthony Kehinde Wiley Dinner hosted by Grey Goose on Thursday, July 16.

Rowland’s deep waves reminded us of Egyptian queens and goddesses. The style is elegant, chic with a hint of sassy allurement. Kelly was all smiles for the dinner and posed it out with Carmelo as well as Tina Knowles. What do you think of Kelly’s hair look, would you wear it?

Milk Does Your Tresses Good

Arianne Suggs July 18, 2014July 18, 2014Leave a Comment

Milk may do your body good, but it can do wonders for your hair as well. All you need to do is the day before you shampoo and condition your hair is soak your tresses in whole milk. Really work the milk in, massaging it from roots to the ends. After you have massaged in the milk leave it on for at least an hour then rinse with water.

The next day shampoo and condition your locks like normal and you will immediately notice that your tresses are luxuriantly glossy! Whole milk aids in bringing lustrous shine to your hair. Perform this milk treatment as often as you wash your locks to help breathe life into dry, brittle strands.

Oprah’s Hairstylist Andre Walker Spills the Deets on Summer Hair!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 9, 2014July 7, 2014Leave a Comment

Is all of this recent heat causing your hair to look a little beat? A beat face in the beauty world may mean a good thing, but when it comes to our tresses lackluster locks are not praiseworthy. Rain or shine we want to look fabulous 24/7. Andre Walker, Oprah’s longtime hairstylist and creator of Andre Walker Hair, has the perfect remedies for fighting summer frizz and maintaining sexy hair in the unforgiving heat.

1. Use Q-Oil by Andre Walker Hair

The Q-Oil is great for controlling summer frizz and is recommended for all hair types.

2. Braid your hair

Braids are cool and clean looking in summer heat. A French braid in the front will keep hair from falling your face, while a side fishtail braid can be a very sexy option.

3. Try a pulled back knot

A pulled back knot is intriguing and can show off a great pair of earrings. Try securing the knot on different areas of your head, like on top, or to the right or left side of your nape. Pulling the hair together in these ways, beats both heat and frizz.

Q-Oil by Andre Walker Hair, $35, available at www.andrewalkerhair.com and www.doobop.com
