Beauty Insider: Be Matchy-Matchy

Arianne Suggs October 29, 2014October 29, 2014Leave a Comment

Makeup and your ensemble should be like peas and carrots…they should complement each other, not compete with each other. Therefore, how does the matchy-matchy beauty look work? Whatever your OOTD (outfit of the day) is you simply wear colors that are exact matches or come very close. Choose a color from your outfit then utilize it on your lips or maybe to play up your eyes.

What if you are wearing a piece that is multi-colored or has a print? Does this mean it is time to become one with the Care Bears rainbow? Makeup should always be fun, but a more streamlined look will truly work best. Choose one of the colors that are not as pronounced and draw it out with your makeup for a dramatic effect.

Over the years the match makeup look has been seen during runway shows for fashion houses such as Fendi and by style-riskers Rihanna and Kerry Washington. Here are a few more celebrity looks to help get you in the match making mood.

What Is a Safe Hair Length For Extensions?

Arianne Suggs October 8, 2014October 8, 2014Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Having hair that’s flowing and down-to-there is a very glamorous look, but you have to keep in mind what it could be doing to your scalp. For most women extensions that are between 26″-30″ (inches) can be worn safely. Tresses that are longer, thanks to the laws of gravity can begin to pull on your own strands and put unnecessary weight on your scalp. Such continuous damage after awhile may not be able to be reversed. Extensions when properly installed and maintained can result in a healthier head of hair. Be sure to watch the length in order to enjoy these benefits.

Hair Wars: Beyonce vs. Meagan Good

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 28, 2014August 28, 2014Leave a Comment

Today we are battling it out to see if its true that blondes truly do have more fun! In this corner we have diva songstress, Beyonce with her version of the short blonde bob. Queen Bey has worn her blonde locks in curly as well as wavy style bobs, but we personally thought she looked killer with it super straight.

Bey’s opponent today is Ms. Good who has joined the blonde girls club. Not everyone can pull off this bold tint, however Meagan looks fierce! Good gives her short hair the curly treatment that perfectly frames her face. So then, the time has come, who wins this match up? By a very slim margin we are giving the win to Mrs. Carter for the fact she has seniority with this particular hairstyle. Both ladies look fantastic and are both hair winners in our book.

Nevertheless, enough talk on our end now it’s time for all you to weigh in. Who wins this hair war, Beyonce or Meagan? Meet us on our social medias, leave a comment and cast your vote now!

Don’t Get Tied Down

Hair Quickie: Tying your hair back super tight could eventually run you the risk of developing hair loss. Pulling your tresses back tightly can train your locks to grow scarily close to the surface of your scalp. Over time if this continues, your hairs can grow so close to the surface that they lose their grip in the skin and fall out. Don’t get tied down, keep things a little more loose when you can.

Can Beyonce’s hair get some poetic justice? Many remember Janet Jackson’s iconic hairstyle from the 90’s. It was not fried, dyed and laid to the side, just long twisted glory. However, it is Queen Bey’s turn to rock this trendy look.

Beyonce and her sister Solange have never been afraid to support team natural. Braids are a great style if you are transitioning from a relaxer to your hair’s natural state, growing your tresses longer or if you are needing a protective style to shield your locks from harmful elements. Beyonce has recently been posting photos on her social media pages of her long braided hairstyle. What do you think you think of Beyonce’s hairdo? Should she continue to bring braids back?

Oh snaps, we take it back maybe little Beyonce had Ms. Jackson beat! Mrs. Carter posted to her Instagram this throwback photo of her getting the braid treatment in 1989.

Coachella is a musical festival that highlights not only amazing up and coming artists, but today’s most popular established chart toppers as well. Therefore, it was fitting that flamboyant songstress, Solange, take to the stage and was even joined by her mega pop star sister, Beyonce. While everyone focused in on the music, we zoomed in on their luscious locks of hair.

Big hair don’t care was in full in effect as the sisters shook and gyrated while swinging their curly locks to Solange’s song, Losing You. Beyonce swung her trademark blonde hair and Solange’s tresses was a la Diana Ross. If you plan on stealing a page from these ladies’ style book, be sure to keep your strands well moisturized. Curly hair tends to be drier and needs hydration to stay looking fresh and beautiful. Beyonce and Solange performed together at Coachella at the Empire Polo Club on April 12 in Indio, California.
