If you enjoy low maintenance then aim for a Chocolate ombre hair look. Dye jobs fade anyway and this particular look will ebb away gracefully. Plus, chocolate brown is universally flattering on everyone because its not too dark or too light.

Raven Blue

As Seen on: Nicki Minaj

This color is perfect for the cold, winter months. Its moody as well as mysterious yet reads as sleek and extravagant. If you want a no frills, sultry hair color this is the way to go.

Golden Blonde

As Seen On: Blac Chyna

Do blondes have more fun? By the looks of future Mrs. Rob Kardashian we would definitely say so! Winter hair colors do not need to be drab to look amazing. Golden or caramel blonde works well on lighter skin tones. Medium brown to dark skin tones can achieve amazing results with golden/caramel highlights.

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors – For the Bold

Deep Purple

As Seen On: Justine Skye

They don’t call her the Purple Unicorn for nothing. Justine Skye’s signature plum tresses fall nicely right between allurement and calmness. Moreover, purple is the balance of red and blue and denotes royalty. Personality types drawn to this color are usually eccentric, creative and peaceful.

Stark White

As Seen On: Instagram Sensation Bee aka Melvnin

Nothing says winter like white snow so why not white dyed hair? Stark white used to be reserved for comic book and GOT characters. Not anymore, this trend was born out of the gray/platinum craze and looks to have serious staying power.

Blonde Highlights

As Seen On: Ciara and Zendaya

If going full on blonde is not your cup of tea then adding a few well-placed highlights could be the answer. Zendaya and Ciara’s soft highlights are chic and sophisticated. This is how to do color on a very subtle basis.

Winter Hair Colors – Super Sick Shades

Vibrant Red

As Seen On: India Westbrooks

When your career is getting as hot as India’s your hair color should match it! Westbrooks has returned to bold red locks and the result is purely fabulous. Red suits India’s sassy persona as well so if that describes you too consider a rouge tint.

Pastel Pink

As Seen On: Lil’ Mama

This type a color is for the girl that just wants to have fun and party with other fellow unicorns. Roots are kept dark to add contrast as well as depth.

Platinum

As Seen on: Malaysia Pargo

Out of all winter hair colors this one is for the brave. If you enjoy standing out in a crowd platinum is your shade. Leave roots opaque for an even more dramatic effect.

Electric Blue

As Seen On: Monica Brown

Show off your confidence this winter by infusing your strands with strong color only in the front. The differentiation reads business in the back and entertainment in the front. Besides confidence the color blue represents loyalty, wisdom, trust and imagination.

Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Every day us girls are bombarded with images of women with small waists, shapely derrieres, beat faces and down-to-there hair. Companies promise that teas, waist trainers or a pill can create this look for each and every one of us. Yet, when it comes to hair growth what is that we really need to help us to attain results? We have the key, read on to learn how to grow hair faster.

Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

If you were to poll a group of open and honest girls you may find nutrition to be towards the bottom of the how to grow hair faster list. Not because it does not work, but since there’s so many things that can place the spotlight elsewhere. There’s shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, hair oils, hair masks, deep treatments, vitamins and the list goes on and on.

However, consuming the right foods should never be overlooked. Why would having the right diet help a lady grow hair faster? It really boils down to three things:

nutrients
revitalization
essential oils

While product may give your hair great results, there is nothing like working from the inside out. Think about it, to run properly your body needs good foods in general. Your strands are not any different. The overall health of your hair depends on the type of nourishment you supply it. Therefore, if your hair is shedding, dull or very weak you may need to take a closer look at your diet. The right diet will ensure that your hair is receiving all of what’s listed above so that longer hair will definitely be in your prospects.

Grow Hair Faster

So what type of foods should one eat and why? To grow hair faster hair experts the world over swear by a diet rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Some examples of this include:

Lean Fish
Beans
Leafy Vegetables
Chicken
Seeds
Eggs

Eating these foods are helpful because hair is basically made up of protein. As a result, tresses in turn need protein in order to remain healthy and shiny. Hair growth can only be promoted when strands receive all the sustenance and provisions they need to grow.

Moreover, getting enough protein affects the construction of hair and revitalizes it. This means you will make your hair stronger and refresh it so that it is all set and ready to grow longer. Eating right in a way lays the foundation and groundwork for longer, silkier and healthier hair in the future.

On a yearly basis black girls spend millions of dollars on hair care and related products. Hair is a lucrative industry that is quite “untapped” when it comes to black female entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, in recent years there has been a real push and emergence of boss ladies who are helping to change the scene for good. Therefore, today meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine, the hair industry’s natural sensation!

Meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine – Hair Industry’s Natural Sensation

Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine

Nancy would like everyone to know more about her and her awesome hair products. Here is what she had to say:

“Hi guys! I’m Nancy Twine, the founder and CEO of Briogeo Hair Care. I’ve been lucky to have met a handful of Briogeo fans during events and visits to many of the stores that carry our brand. But the truth of the matter is, most of you don’t know who I am and I’m hoping to fix that.

I’m a pretty behind-the-scenes type od person and have been so focused on the backstage elements of the brand. Like with our team of chemists to create awesome new formulas we hope you fall in love with or helping to support our small team of 4 kickass women in our NYC office. But despite all of that, I think its super important that I get to know you and you get to know me.

I’ll be sprinkling some behind-the-scenes love on our IG page more often so you can get a firsthand glimpse into what goes into creating and building a beauty brand. Also, the unfiltered realness of what it’s like to be a 30-something-year old running a business in NYC. Wherever this journey leads I’m excited to share it with you. Nice to meet you. 🙂 xx, Nancy.”

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Fiery Red Hair With 5 Unbeatable Tips!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 17, 2016October 17, 2016Leave a Comment

Angela Bassett’s daughter, oops, we mean Keke Palmer gives us life every time she decides to hit up the Gram. We know she is either going to be killing it with her couture or banging with a new hair look. Right now the talented triple threat is giving Ariel a run for her money. The Keke Palmer fiery red hair is so hot you think you may scorch a finger if you double tap her pic!

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Fiery Red Hair With 5 Unbeatable Tips!

Are you feeling our latest hair crush? We love it because it is bold and completely sassy! The color red is full of passion, confidence, fearlessly and allurement. If you have a personality with a little bit of bite or je ne sais quoi then red hair could do you some justice.

Keke’s take on fiery red hair has included really short strands and a longer length version. Although we adore Palmer with her short cuts we are definitely feeling the longer hair and red tint. Plus, the full bangs give the overall look a chic, modern vibe. Keke looks like she could take Black Widow’s place in the Avengers and never miss a beat! ‘

Style Seen: Work it Keke! Palmer hit us with some of that fierce black on black couture. She wore Ben Taverniti Unravel pants, Alix top and Chiara Ferragni Collection heels.

Keke Palmer Fiery Red Hair – 5 Unbeatable Tips!

Unfortunately, red tends to fade and fast. Use pomegranate or cherry juice as a wash in order to enhance red tones. The juices produce a nice “stain” keeping the hair color more vibrant.
Stylists rule of thumb with red hair color is that the darker your skin tone the darker the red hue should be. If a garment in a particular red tint does not look right on your skin tone most likely neither would it on your strands. When choosing the proper red shade try going to a beauty supply store first and try on various red wigs. That way you can see yourself in the right color before any chemicals touch your hair.
When cleansing red strands use cold water instead of hot water if you can stand it. Hot water will encourage red dye to slip right out. So then, get use to bundling up after showers!
Save your dye job from being ruined from tap water! Water from the tap can be a little harsh on strands due to some of the minerals that have seeped their way in over time. Try adding a few drops of vinegar to your final rinse. The vinegar will aid in dissolving the calcium from the tap as well as lock the cuticles thus enhancing shine.
Also save your color from fading caused by heat styling tools. Keep all heat styling to a minimum and if you absolutely must use a dryer, curler or flat iron always apply a heat protector product first.

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

NYFW is keeping it ninety-nine plus one right now in the hair department. From the shows we have witnessed thus far it seems as though hair trends for next year will be fresh and modern. One look that we are currently dying for is Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair. This hairstyle is simply a Californian’s dream!

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Growing up in Socal your life consists of sun, beach, wind, bonfire and water. The old wash, rinse and repeat. Even with such consistency Cali life is relaxed and glamorously cool.

People love our laid back style out here and we love to serve it. Beachy waves and slick hair screams Cali girl because we all like to think of ourselves as fashionable, water sports lovers addicted to Ventura Boulevard. Maybe that is why we went B-A-N-A-N-A-S for the Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 wet hair.

The overall look is slightly damp hair with more defined waves towards the front that loosen closer to the ends. As a result, hair looks youthful and voguish. We love this hair and thought it complemented the fruity, printed and light palette of the Altuzarra designs nicely.

For instance, Vogue Italia for their big September issue is featuring four models with blue, orange, pink and yellow hair.

Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color

Tip #1 The best hair color is one that is flattering to your skin tone and eyes. Most likely you already know your natural eye color well. To figure out your skin tone take a glance at the inside of your forearm. This area is usually not contacted by the sun giving you a pretty accurate picture of your skin tone. Test out different tints using this color (skin tone) as your guide.

Tip #2 Just freaking wig out! Not out of stress but seriously head to a beauty supply store and test out different colored wigs. For free you will be able to see which colors look best.

Tip #3 Find your celebrity twin. Hair experts swear by this trick. Look for a celebrity who shares the same eye color and skin tone as you. Celebrities tend to change their hair color often in order to seem innovative and on trend. Therefore, if they look fabulous in certain hair hues you know you will too.

Eat your way to healthy, gorgeous strands? No fairytale here ladies, there is actually proof to the hair slash food consumption story. So then, let’s tackle the question everyone wants to know. Brazil Nuts – Can They Really Help Give You Repunzel Hair?

Brazil Nuts – Can They Really Help Give You Repunzel Hair?

Let’s begin with an even simpler question. What are Brazil nuts? Brazil nuts come from South America and are apart of the Lecythidaceae tree family. They are super rich in selenium as well as mono-saturated fats. Moreover, Brazil nuts are also becoming more and more popular due to being high in calcium, protein, zinc and iron. It is deemed as being one of the best dietary components that improve not only health but longevity.

Therefore, what does all of that mean when it comes to hair and hair growth? Stunted hair growth and even loss of hair is often times caused by a deficiency of essential nutrients. So then, if your hair is constantly falling out it is not likely that you will experience or see much growth.

Remember we mentioned that Brazil nuts contain selenium? Selenium is a trace mineral that is major component that can promote hair growth. As a result, eating a food packed with an essential nutrient such as Selenium can cut down on loss of hair. Getting such an issue under control can help you achieve the desired hair result.

How Much Should You Eat?

A word to wise when it comes to Brazil nuts is that they are very high in calories. Yes, they are packed with good stuff but you want to pace yourself. Otherwise, you will be watching your waist grow along with your tresses.

How many Brazil nuts should you consume in order to see benefits? We chatted up several hair experts who all gave us the same answer. Consume just 3 or 4 nuts on a daily basis. Doing so will help your hair grow stronger and healthier in a short amount of time. You can expect to see a change in your strands in just a few weeks.
