If you are searching for a hairstyle to help aid hair growth while still being stylish then braids could be the answer that you are seeking. During the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show models trotted down the runway with hair fashioned in two long French braids. The hairstyle is a protective carefree style that needs little maintenance yet has added drama due to the length.

Hair: Going Natural On The Runway? Well it sure seems like it. Many designers have chosen to have some of our models rock “the natural look” aka an afro for their runway show. It was seen at the Givenchy Fall 2015 RTW and Stella McCartney Fall 2015 collection. This look can be absolutely beautiful and shows confidence and individualism when it is groomed and shaped nicely. So if you rock and Afro perfect, you should be confident with your own hair texture and not feel shamed to wear it; it is beautiful. However I hope this just doesn’t become a FAD or the industry trying to make you feel that this is the only way to wear your hair or that this is how all our hair looks like. As black woman we know we all have different textures of hair rather it’s curly, kinky or wavy. So please be confident with your hair alone and whichever way you feel like wearing it wear it like that.
Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear Givenchy Baby Hairs On Fleek. Yeah we said it, on fleek!! Now lets be honest the baby hair game is nothing new. Black girls have been doing this since birth with their …
Here at the office we were kind of torn with this look. Half loved it and the other half loved it too, but felt the look could not be translated for the streets. Is this a look only for the runways never to be repeated in day to day life?
Orlando Pita who styled the model’s hair for the Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 show said the look caused the girls to feel absolutely beautiful. Isn’t that how great hair SHOULD make you feel? Okay, so a point goes to the look itself, but how did Oliver create this style? Pita slipped on a polka veil after first pulling the model’s tresses into a low ponytail. He then secured the look by tying a thick ribbon at the top, fashioning it into a chic cute bow. Oliver said regarding the look, “I’m dressing up the ponytail to give it a couture feel.”
This look brings the drama so of course could not be worn for just any occasion. Nonetheless, a night out on the town or for a fashionable event and this would be a very stylish option. So then, it’s time for you to way in is this hairstyle a do or a don’t?

Shaggy hair can look very groovy baby, yeah! Marc Jacobs models for his spring 2015 runway show sported very care-free shaggy bobs. Their locks had a very retro vibe as if the models could of been walking through a time machine from the 60’s and 70’s. Punk style has definitely seen a rival in recent years and it even made us think back to the punk inspired Met ball not so long ago.
Nevertheless, would you believe that the Marc Jacobs models wore wigs to achieve their Joey Ramone-esqe bowl cut hairstyles? Before the show the wigs had been dyed jet black and then hairstylists custom fitted the wigs to the model’s heads. Wigs are an excellent way to achieve styles quickly or that may be harmful to your real hair. This show emphasizes that when made and fitted correctly wigs can make a powerful statement just as much as the fashions they accompany.

While some of us are making sacrifices at the hair color bar altar praying gray strands stay faraway from our heads. There are other women who are willingly going gray via dyed hair jobs. You may recall celebrities such as Rihanna getting in on the gray hair revolution. Nevertheless, now things are being stepped up a bit by adding in an ombre effect.
Ombre hair color is where the hair color starts off dark and gradually gets lighter as you move towards the tips or ends of strands. Besides RiRi, actress Dascha Polanco who plays on the hit show Orange is The New Black went gray ombre with purple tips. This hair tint can be extremely rough or harsh on your hair. Therefore, what can you do to protect your hair if you are thinking of going gray?
Going to such extreme colors means that you should take extreme measures to protect your hair. It is recommended that you pre-treat or prep your hair with oils and deep conditioners for about a week before the process. Dying your hair can be quite drying which is why some women end up with a “fried” hair look. Moreover, deep conditioning your locks will be be necessary since your tresses will need to be lifted to a platinum blonde shade in order for the true color to show up.
What if your natural hair color is very dark? For women with natural darker shade of hair keep in mind that going so light will not be a simple walk-in and walk out process. It should be noted that in order to safely dye your hair gray it usually takes two processes.
