2015 Grammys Hair: Zendaya’s New Pixie!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Singer and actress Zendaya came to the 2015 Grammys looking like a brand new young woman! Zendaya rocked a super short pixie hair cut that put the focus where it belongs, on her pretty facial features (just look at those eyebrows…say it with us, “ON FLEEK”). Her makeup was so gorgeous as well and we loved the dark lip liner with lighter lip color. Made us think of the good ol’ days aka the 90’s but with a modern twist of course due to the lines not being nearly as severe.

What do you think of Zendaya’s new hairstyle, should she keep it? Talk all things hair with us on our Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram or tweet us @1966magazine.

After several months with Raven black locks and a more reserved look, Nicki Minaj stepped out today back to her Barbz aka Black Barbie days. Besides her bold Versace and Guiseppe Zanotti ensemble what we took note of most was her return to blonde hair. Nicki has worn this hair look before, platinum blonde hair color while keeping dark roots in play.

Nevertheless, so far her fans have had mixed reactions to Minaj’s changed style. Fans on Instagram have given the music star over a million likes that span across the 9 pictures Nicki posted a little over an hour ago. Comments include sentiments that Minaj is the ultimate diva to pleas for the hip hop genius to return to her black hair color. Of course we loved Nicki with darker tresses but as we always say, style is all about self expression. Therefore, if Nicki loves it then Nicki should just rock it!

3 Hair Tips Every Girl Should Know

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard someone say, “I wish I knew then, what I know now.” Knowledge is truly everything and should not be taken for granted, especially when it comes to taking care of yourself. Keep hair healthy and gorgeous with these 3 tips!

1. Sulfate Free Shampoo- Not only are sulfate free shampoos more gentle on your tresses but they can possibly even clean your hair and scalp better. Some shampoos that cause tons of lather often contain a large amount of moisturizing products that can leave nasty build-up on your hair, the very opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. Gross!

2. Cool It Down- Once the shampoo and conditioning steps have been taken always, always, always rinse your hair with cold water. Cool water will seal the cuticle which add sleeker finish to your locks.

3. 10 Minute Rule- Before you blow dry, curl, roll, twist, braid or straighten your hair, you should aim to apply any protection or styling products 10 minutes before you begin your hair process. Doing so will give the products time to penetrate and absorb into strands so that you can derive the most benefits from said products.
