CurlFest 2018

CurlFest 2018 left the entire natural hair realm shooketh! We’re talking curl comradery, peace, love and undeniable black beauty appreciation. This amazing event is now the world’s largest hair festival and this year it went down in Brooklyn at Prospect Park.

We have had a ball checking out all the gorgeous hair and fashion style looks from ladies from all over who were in attendance. It was VERY difficult to narrow down a few of our favorites to just 75. However, we think we may have done it.

Moreover, if you are looking for inspiration to go natural OR new hairstyle ideas; you will definitely find both. PLUS, as a little fun extra we will be including some helpful natural hair tips along the way. So then, enjoy our Curlfest 2018 album and happy natural hair!

CurlFest 2018 – 75 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Two

Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.

If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.

The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!

As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.

Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!

Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

Spotlight: Meet Desiree Byfield – The Boss Woman Behind Young, Gifted and Black!

Boss Woman

In the words of Kelis, many women around the world are starting to shout, “I’m a boss!” … and truly live it! So then, what does it actually take to be a Boss Woman in today’s Instagram, online and ever-changing business realm? Well we recently, had the honor of chatting up Desiree Byfield, one of the co-creators of one of our fave platforms, Young, Gifted and Black.

Desiree spilled all on what it took for her to get started as an entrepreneur and how you can do it too! Ready to be inspired? Read on to learn more about this amazing and empowering female CEO!

Spotlight: Meet Desiree Byfield – The Boss Woman Behind Young, Gifted and Black

Q: Desiree thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us for this edition of Spotlight! First of all, please tell us a little about yourself. Where are you based, and also what are you interested in, etc.

A: I’m 25 years old and I’m based in West Palm Beach, Florida. I’m interested in fashion, makeup, but also how we can make the world a better place by coming together.

Boss Woman

Q: Wonderful! What inspired or motivated you to start your own platform?

A: Honestly I felt a strong urgency to bring the black community together. A dream came to me and all I remember seeing in my dream was the words Young Gifted And Black. I couldn’t figure out why but eventually it all came together.

Spotlight: Meet Desiree Byfield – The Boss Woman

Q: Simply amazing. Would you say it was easy to get started, or were there a few challenges in the beginning?

A: Surprisingly it wasn’t a hard thing to get started because everyone in our community instantly loved the concept and supported it. [Furthermore] they all felt like it was something we needed to do.

Q: Yes, it is definitely needed it. You know, we always aim to encourage young black girls and women in general to become entrepreneurs; but sometimes we notice they don’t do it because they do not believe they can. So how do you stay motivated to keep pushing as a boss woman?

A: I always wanted to be an entrepreneur because I never liked the thought of working for someone else. What keeps me motivated is that very same fact, a lot of black women quit before they even get started. I have a younger sister she’s 19 and she’s an amazing artist. I just want to show her it is possible with the right steps taken of course!

Boss Woman

Spotlight: Meet Desiree Byfield – The Boss Woman Behind Young, Gifted and Black (Continued)

Q: Alright, we hear that! Plus by the way, we absolutely love all the empowering merch that you are selling! They’re cute, fun, and inspirational. Why do you feel it’s so important for girls of color to be able to purchase clothing and accessories that has such an upbuilding message?

A: It’s important for me to advertise uplifting messages for young black girls on our brand because, unfortunately, in the year of 2018 I am 25 years old and I still don’t see enough mainstream brands for people of our color. In mainstream news/media etc. the image of women with lighter skin colors are glorified; and forced on the public like that is the only image that is viewed as beautiful, smart, or positive even. It’s very important for young black girls to view themselves on TV or in fashion in a positive light or else they simply will never believe those things.

Boss Woman

Q: Love that! So then, what do you hope that Young, Gifted and Black will accomplish in the coming years?

A: I hope that it can bring our black community together so that they can genuinely support one another. I hope that it can be accepted & viewed by other races as something positive and not something that is threatening or something that makes them feel uncomfortable. Sometimes there is a confusion when it comes to the black community showing self love.

Boss Woman

Spotlight: Meet Desiree Byfield – The Boss Woman Behind Young, Gifted and Black (Cont.)

A: I try to drink lots of water and I’m working on transitioning into eating healthier it’s a work in progress lol. But I am interested in becoming vegan because health is very important and a lot of people who became vegan look great!

Achieving the Dream: 6 Tips to Reach Your Goals Once and For All!

Achieving the Dream

I’m going to finish school! I will buy a house! I’m going to jumpstart that business! I will get in the best shape ever! Sound familiar? Achieving the dream may seem fantastic and attainable at the beginning of the year; however, for most, weeks and months later they find they are still stuck at square one.

What happened? Life. We get busy, changes occur or things just don’t go our way. Regardless, of what the background story or reason may be; our dreams and accomplishing goals never disappear into thin air. We still want to stretch out our hand as far as it will go to scoop them up, but sometimes we don’t always get there in one try.

Actually, you will be comforted to know that MOST people will experience “failure” or “setbacks” before they reach the success they are after. Nonetheless, is it really a failure if we try yet don’t succeed? Of course not!

Achieving the Dream: 6 Tips to Reach Your Goals Once and For All

Achieving the Dream

You can still get what you want and to where you want to be, it just means you may have to start fresh. A little reboot if you will. Here’s 6 tips that can help you reach your dreams even after starting over.

  1. Think of your dream as the overall objective. Set 2-3 smaller, reasonable goals that will help you to reach that particular objective. For instance, if your objective is to get into shape; your goals may include: walking 3 times a week, doing resistance training twice a week and to cut out soda completely. By doing those three things consistently you will certainly notice a change and get closer if not attain your objective.
  2. Buy a planner or calendar. These nifty tools will help you to not only stay organized but be accountable. You’ll be able to schedule tasks that will help keep you focused daily, weekly and monthly.
  3. Make a list of things that waste your time. Try to eliminate at least one of them. Wasting time on unimportant tasks is one of the biggest reasons people lose their focus and get off track.
  4. Leave the past in it’s rightful place … the past. Mistakes happen, things get overwhelming and restructure may be in order. The key is not to allow anything to throw you off. Let your history be just that as well as a learning lesson as to what worked and did not work so well.
  5. Be willing to embrace change and try new things. Doing the same routine and act will only yield the same old results. So if you want to start fresh and achieve a new ending you must aim to step out of your comfort zone and try out new things as well as tactics.
  6. Don’t beat yourself up for starting fresh or over. Embrace the process and realize that it’s persistence and consistency that will make you successful.

Achieving the Dream: 6 Tips to Reach Your Goals Once and For All -Final Words

Achieving the Dream

Think of achieving the dream as a baseball game. A player steps up to bat. The pitcher hurls the ball and the player takes a swing. Miss. Pitcher changes up his pitch style when throwing the ball for a second time and the player up to bat swings again. Another miss.

Now let’s say the third pitch is different from the first two and the pitcher throws this one with all of his might. The player batting takes a final swing. A HOME RUN! Now do you think the batting player or the crowd is upset that the home run took a few tries?

Of course, they don’t care! They are still just as excited as they would be if it had happened sooner or later in the game. So then, never get upset if it takes you a few tries in order to get where you want to be.

That’s just how the game of life is. Sometimes we get it right the first time, and at other times we might have to wait till our next turn.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

Lean Mass Gainer

STOP! If you lift weights you are going to bulk up!!! Unfortunately, that is the fitness myth women have been scaring and passing along to other women for decades. The truth is if you desire to be a lean mass gainer; it is not how much you’re lifting, but rather how you are lifting it.

You see, the truth about toning is that heavy weights help you to not only gain more strength; but also require less cardio and maintain moderate fat loss. A goal that many ladies aiming to be thinner would like to achieve. However, that is not how most go about.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

We all have done it… crash diets, excessive amounts of cardio and trying out the latest record breaking fat-burning workout. Yet, these types of methods are not always to keep up in the long run. Many of us have the power to dig deep within to keep up for bit, but then find ourselves back at square one again. So what’s the answer?

To be leaner, you have to do what it truly encompasses then take the right actions that will get lean and remain that way. So then, to begin with it’s important to know what does it mean to have a lean body mass.

Lean body mass is basically a calculation of taking your total body weight and subtracting body fat weight. It’s the mass of the body minus the storage lipid otherwise known as fat. Or in real super basic terms, it is the amount of weight you carry on your body that is not fat.

The goal many women have is to keep their lean body mass while dropping your body fat percentage down. As the fat falls away they will look leaner and very toned. So how can this be done?

Training with heavier weights will help to develop actual muscle. Now if your end goal is tone up and decrease fat, it is highly recommended to stop one or two reps before hitting muscle failure. If you push past muscle failure and come to fatigue the muscle then you will most likely add size.

For a bodybuilder that’s awesome news! Nevertheless, for most of us that is not our fitness goals. We want the tone without minus the bulk. So it’s all about pushing yourself, but not going all the way to complete muscle fatigue.

Lastly, always remember that fat loss is dependent upon consistency. Allow us to repeat that. If you want to experience steady and sustainable fat loss you have to be consistent.

Stop and go may work for traffic on the streets, but it works havoc on any weight loss or fitness plan. Therefore, truly commit to your goals and yourself. You owe to YOU to become everything you want to be and should you. Anything is possible and you can do it because now you have the real secret to being a lean mass gainer!
