Side braid
I Love Her Hair
This is a great natural hairstyle that can contribute to hair protection as well as hair growth. The ends of the hair which are susceptible to damage are well protected within the braid. Moreover, this side braid hairstyle includes a front cornrow that can help keep unruly edges along the hairline under control.
How To Do It:
1. Part hair on the side.
2. Cornrow hair to the left of the part.
3. Once the left side braid is cornrowed down to the nape pull all hair to the right side.
4. Part remaining hair into two sections.
5. Holding the two sections (one in each hand), take strands from the left section and cross it over to the right section of hair.
6. Next, take strands from the right section and cross it over to the left section of the hair.
7. Continue repeating steps 5 and 6, crisscrossing sections of hair until the fishtail side braid is at your desired length.
Want more ideas? Check out this great article on African hair braiding.It can be a style, a statement or a way to bring a storied history into the wearer’s modern-day life. In many ways, hair braiding has deep roots in the African-American community. From their origins in Africa, through the days of slavery and into today’s pop culture, cornrow braids have long been associated with the black community. But many don’t realize just how deep those roots go.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL!
Rihanna has the Internet crashing over news regarding her latest upcoming release. You ready? Better be because they’re here, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! A sexy step away from her sick lineup of lipsticks and diverse foundations. So then, what are these new beauty must-haves for summer 2018?
Literally, just the products that will be in every beauties makeup arsenal. Starting with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava, this gem is a full body luminizer that will give your skin an out of this world gleaming effect. Like forget highlighter, Rihanna’s body illuminators are all that is necessary in order to achieve an intense, all day wear glow up.
Miss Fenty is kicking off her Body Lava collection with not one, but two luxurious tones. Beginning on April 6th you will be able to purchase the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in both: Brown Sugar and Who Needs Clothes.
Brown Sugar is the deeper of the two body illuminating products. It has a more golden, coppery finish unlike Who Needs Clothes with it’s more pink pearl, lighter appearance. Nonetheless, each one packs a powerful, mesmerizing punch.
Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL
However, even though Rihanna is flaunting it, why should one use an illuminator? What is it’s sole purpose anyway? To answer those questions allow us to ask, “Well, have you seen the Gram lately?” Everyone is glowing like they were created from the sun directly.
Nevertheless, not all of us are born with picture perfect skin with gorgeous luminousity. In fact, most of us are not. Thus, why using an illuminator product can come in handy; among other reasons, here are just a few:
Radiance– At times our delicate skin can look a little dull. Adding a smidge of product with a sparkling effect can instantly give skin a boost. Allowing for a more natural, healthy finish.
Go Baby Go– We’re all busy, so being able to brighten and enhance on the fly is anyone’s dream. Body luminizers are easy to use and give off super quick results. Instead of months of treatments you can get a celebrity glow in seconds.
Like a Rose Petal– Another amazing aspect of these glowing products are that they usually contain some sort of skin softening agent. Therefore, not only do you get to enjoy awesome highlighting elements, but softer, smoother feeling skin. WINNING!
Definition– Why do you use highlighter on your face? Besides it looking absolutely fabulous in a selfie, you most likely also use it for its contouring benefits. Highlighter allows users to bring out their best features while slightly altering the ones they are not so fond of. The same can be accomplished with a body luminizer.
You can apply it to only the areas you decide, in order to give definition and more contour to your body. Got a great chest? Show it off by illuminating it. Got sexy shoulders, taut stomach or neckline? Well then, you know what to do! Body illuminators can help you enhance any body part that you love.
Fenty Beauty Body Lava
So now that you know why you should use an illuminator, you may be wondering how exactly it works. Well, its pretty simple. You see these products are formulated with gentle pearlescent molecules that shimmer and shine once applied.
They can reflect light so that whether you are chilling on the beach or serving looks at a party; your skin can look A-list status. While the lightly textured mixture should make quite the impact with one pass. It can also still be layered in order to achieve even more intense yet beautiful results.
So we all have something to definitely be excited about when it comes to the release of Fenty Beauty Body Lava. However, did you know it is actually a member of a much bigger product lineup? Yup, it’s true, the Lava illuminators are apart of the Fenty Beauty Beach Please Collection.
As a result, Rihanna took to social media to talk about her new glow-worthy products. On Instagram she says,
“Summer came early with my Beach Please collection [by] Fenty Beauty. Body Lava Luminizer and Fairy Bomb glittering Pom Pom are coming to fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP on April 6th!”
Fenty Beauty Body Lava -EVERY DETAIL
Besides the nice reveal to fans the world’s favorite Badgal went a step further. Yes, Rih went full YouTube style on us all with tutorials demonstrating exactly how to use the new Beach Please collection. The tutorials were not only enlightening and a great plug for the line itself; but, also gave a cool sneak peek about another tool!
Beach Please will also incorporate a new kubuki brush to help one and all get their glow on. The brush works hand in hand with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Luminizers to blend them in seamlessly into the skin. Not only will this provide a more professional looking finish; but will also help keep fingers clean. Since who really wants to deal with a messy application? UHM, no one (Lol).
Now that we have talked extensively about brushes and illuminating body lava. However, there’s still one more item to discuss and it’s just as fabulous! If you’re not feeling liquid, then maybe glowing up with powder will be more your speed. Enter the Fenty Beauty Fairy Pom Pom!
Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Pom Pom
Remember wanting to steal Tinker Bell’s wand so you can sprinkle pixie dust everywhere? Oh wait, that was just us (haha)? Well, now you can dust yourself with a powder puff loaded with glitter.
The Fairy Pom Pom is reminiscent of old Hollywood. You may be reminded of classic starlets sitting in front of their vanities daintily patting themselves with powder puffs. Nonetheless, this is not your grandma’s powder. Instead of being baby powder fresh you will be able to puff your skin to a more luminous epidermis.
As one can see April 6th is gearing up to be quite a busy shopping day. However, since we are sure that the Beach Please Collection will sell like hot cakes there are a few things you should know. For instance, the collection will available for purchase on the 6th on the Fenty Beauty as well as Sephora website. Also, the Sephora app will have purchasing powers.
Furthermore, items will also be available via Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP just at different times. Availability will begin at 8a.m. on the Harvey Nichols website; and 10 a.m. in store at Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP. That’s it for now, happy shopping everyone!

Did you know there are two different types of aging? Well, in today’s Beauty Quickie we are going to briefly breakdown down to the two types of aging you must know.
Beauty Quickie: Aging Face -The Two Types You Must Know
There are two types of aging, Intrinsic and Extrinsic. Intrinsic is chronological aging. It is a natural process responsible for 20% of aging. This type can be very difficult to control because it is already determined by genes.
That brings to Extrinsic aging. Extrinsic is influenced by external factors. 80% of premature aging is caused by lifestyle choices. Which means you are still very much in control of what your face will look like. Factors include such things as sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial expressions, a poor skin regimen as well as an unhealthy diet.
Oftentimes women as well as men ignore taking care of their skin as a teenager or while in their twenties. Uh, wrong move babe! While it is never too late to start a skincare routine that will eliminate various skin issues. Prevention is still the best way to stave off any future problems.
Therefore, take the information in this post and use it to your advantage. Be aware of any factors that may cause premature aging and steer clear. Plus, regardless of your age you are never too young to start taking amazing care of your skin. If you do you can avoid a badly aging face and maintain a more youthful appearance.
Skincare Products: Thanks to genetics your skin may not “crack” but it is always good to help the process anyway. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Image Skincare Ageless Collection. The collection’s product range which includes serum, masque, cleanser and moisturizer; is specially formulated for aging skin.
