Arianne Suggs July 6, 2017July 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Want to look as hot as a Victoria’s Secret supermodel? Or how about one of the most talented starlets of Young Hollywood? Well, then we suggest you perfect the messy bun as of yesterday. This style is a favorite on the Gram as well as your favorite celebrities. However, as easy as it may seem, looking undone while not being undone is not always a walk in the park. Nevertheless, no need to fear, we have several tricks on How to Make a Messy Bun!

How to Make a Messy Bun – 5 Styling Tips to Get Zendaya’s Look

Yes, you can rock designer garb with a messy bun and still look high-end! See that is the true beauty of this hairstyle. It is extremely versatile. Can be worn during the daytime or at night. To a pool party or classy dinner date with your man.

An excellent example of this hair look is Spiderman Homecoming’s Zendaya. Our girl was on her merry way to the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala when we spotted her looking glam with the messy bun hairstyle. We love the easy, breezy vibe of Zendaya’s hair. Gorgeous without feeling stuffy. Fashion Side Bar- That ensemble Zendaya is wearing is a design by Viktor and Rolf. Aye!

How to Make a Messy Bun

Alright, now the real fun begins. It’s your turn to get the look. Here are few tricks to help make it happen.

Twist and Shout- Twisting strands is an easy hack for creating a cool messed up chignon look. Simply twist the entire tail or parts of it until coiling occurs. Then use bobby pins to secure hairs and design a messy bun.

OMG! You’re Such a Tease!– Creating volume and roughing up your strands a bit is major key when creating a messy bun. The volume ensures the hair gains a little more shape. While gently “roughing” up tresses through teasing helps the style look less than perfect. So take out those combs and get busy dolls.

Hang Loose- Normally having a hair out of place in Girl World is a sentence worse than death. However, when rocking a messy bun you want that slightly disheveled effect. Get it by first creating the style and then gently pulling hair loose from the bun. Also, having loose strands framing the face makes for a very sexy look. You will look like you rolled out of bed looking as flawless as the Queen Bey.

Finger Play- Now we know your parentals probably told you it is wrong to play with your food. Yet, when it comes to your hair all bets are off! Instead of using styling utensils such as a hair comb or brush to pull strands back securely into a ponytail. Use your fingers to work tresses into this style. The result will be a little messier than normal. Which is good because you want the hairstyle to look “lazy” without seeming like you faked it or tried to hard to achieve it.

Then out of no where some ingenious hair stylist throws us all a curve ball. Did you hair lovers catch the newest one to hit the trendy hairstyle scene?

Black Girl Hair: Karrueche’s TNT Claws Large Hoop Earrings Hairdo

TNT’s new hit television show Claws certainly came out swinging! The series instantly garnered fans creating a cult following. Now of course the acting and numerous beauty looks have received much praise. Side Bar: If you have not seen some of the Claws’ fab claw creations aka nail designs. You have to hit up the series’ IG page. They are serving looks honey!

Nevertheless, being that the show follows the lives of beauty professionals it makes sense that much flair and style would be apart of the show as well. For in stance, Karrueche’s character, Virginia is beyond Bad and Boujie! From furs to six inch heels Virginia rocks them all.

Moreover, a BTS shot of Tran on set revealed a hair look that is every bit urban fresh. Karrueche’s blonde tresses are pulled back into a some up, some down fashion. To add drama braids as well as humongous hoop earrings are incorporated. We have seen flowers, gold clasps, crowns and even bobby pins be used as hair accessories, but never large hoop earrings.

Definitely a hair look that is outside of the conventional black girl hair box. What do you think of Karrueche’s style for Claws? Would you rock it or pass?

How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 28, 2017June 28, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Today’s quick hair tip has to do with keeping strands healthy by trimming off any damage. This subject throughout the years has sparked quite the debate. Differences of opinion emerge from how often this procedure should be done to how much hair should actually be cut off. We plan to give you total disclosure as well as the real answers to such questions, especially if you wish to grow more hair. Nevertheless, for now our focus will be on, How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

In short it is best to trim when your hair is dry. Why should strands be dry? When tresses are wet they stretch. Strands can literally stretch to almost 50% of it’s original length.

In essence this means you will not be getting a real accurate idea of how much to cut. One inch of wet hair due to stretching can look more like two inches dry. Therefore, if you wish to not cut off more hair than necessary it is highly recommended to trim hair once it is no longer wet or damp.

Dry hair trimming allows you to see clearly what’s damaged and what part of the strand(s) are not damaged. Thus, helping you to chop off only what needs to go. Instead of lopping off your hard-earned hair growth in the process.

So then, in conclusion did you learn how to trim hair when it comes to strands being wet or dry? Yes, dry hair is better because it’s easier to see dead ends which in turn helps you to trim only what needs to go.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair is an accessory. If you want an ensemble to be a perfect ten then tresses can not be simply ignored or overlooked. The fashions of the BET Awards 2017 red carpet were drop dead gorgeous and spotlighted 6 hot style trends of 2017. Did you catch them all?

If not be sure to hop over to our BET Awards 2017 fashion recap post where we break it all down and recap yesterday’s best looks. Nevertheless, right now it’s not about the gowns, suits or high end designer garb. One hairstyle flexed its power during the award ceremony proving that it’s not about length when it comes looking elegant and sexy.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Will the hottest hairstyle of 2017 please stand up? At the BET Awards it was The Bob that was spotted every single time we looked right or to the left. Shorter length hair seemed to be the look of choice of the night. Letoya Luckett, Amber Rose as well as Sibley Scoles all sported shorter locks.

However, which ladies came to the award show with slamming bob cut hair? We noticed: Remy Ma, Karrueche Tran, Cardi B, Kat Graham and Nafessa Williams rocking bobs, to name a few.

Thinking about giving this trendy hair look a try? When it comes to to styling remember blunt cut bobs translate into being more edgy. If you would like to wear a bob with a softer effect, aim to add waves or curls for a more care free tousled effect.

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Arianne Suggs May 26, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

Color Riche Les Ombres in Marron Glace
Lip Paint in Nudists – 209 – Nude on Fleek
Brow Xpert
Paradise Mascara

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

Long or short this doll can rock it all! Skai Jackson continues to kill the game in fashion, beauty and hair. This week she is taking home our trophy for Hair of the Week for her beyond chic hairstyle we spotted at the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere!

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

For the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere (whew, say that fives times fast) Skai Jackson wore a textured bob. Adding texture gives hair slightly more body and dimension. We are almost feeling like this hair look should be considered a lob, since it falls right at shoulder length. However, her amazing stylist says bob, so its a bob hunty! Skai Jackson’s cute hairstyle is a creation of Los Angeles hair stylist, Alexander Armand.

Nevertheless, the part of this particular style that we loved the most is her bang. The length was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t so short that it looked odd or so long that it looked uncomfortably resting in her eyes. It was just right and added a nice touch of panache to the overall look.

Fashion Notes: Did you think we were really going to leave you hanging on the fashion tip ladies? Skai’s dazzling printed floor length dress is by Alice + Olivia. At times, long dresses can really drown a petite girl. However, the tailoring on this dress ensures that Jackson isn’t “lost” in the design. She is wearing it, instead of it wearing her.

Nevertheless, the hair brand is back at it again with an amazing collection of haircare products. The Kendras Boutique Hair Barb Product Kit is a five piece set that includes everything you need to have amazing healthy hair.

Kendras Boutique Hair Barb Product Kit

There are several pluses about this kit but two stick out immediately. First of all, it has dual capabilities.

No more having to switch up products just because you switched up the game with your hairstyle. This set is truly a one kit fits all.

“Our Hair Barb Product Kit is a must-have. We have your complete set! Make sure you loves get your haircare kits to go along with your bundles and it also works amazing on your natural hair!
