Chanel Iman is the cover girl for the Marie Claire Fashion UK May 2015 edition. In the fabulous editorial Iman models fashions by: Michael Kors, Chloe, Emporio Armani and Roberto Cavalli. Chanel seems to channel a modern Roman gladiator as she plays on a track field as well as on and below bleachers. If she really was competing, with the couture she showcases she would definitely be a winner in our book!

Hair Notes: We are seeing long braids in several editorials this year and we are loving them! Last year, skinny and down-to-there french braids were all the rage. Nevertheless, it seems that braids with a middle part is the new hot hairstyle of the year. Moreover, this hair look is a great protective hairstyle to grow hair and keep it strong.

Black Hairstyles: Fake Bang and Topknot

Arianne Suggs April 14, 2015April 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Here is a fun hairstyle that is great whether you are dressed up or more causal. No need to do a big snip to achieve a bang, below you will find a quick tutorial on how to fake one. All you will need is:

2 Hair-ties
Bun shaper or sock
Finishing spray (optional)

1. Pull Up– Fashion hair into a high ponytail and don’t worry about making it look perfect. A little messy actually makes this style look a little more edgy.

2. Add Volume– If your hair is not naturally thick or long enough for a top knot there are ways to cheat and make this look work, I do it all the time. Cut the toe end of a sock off and roll it up until it looks like a donut. Pull your hair through the sock and fashion your hair around it in order to hide the sock then secure strands with a hair tie leaving excess hair out. Nevertheless, nowadays socks are not necessary because pre-made “bun” shapers are available at the mall or local beauty supply store.

3. Move Forward– Pull forward the excess hair not surrounding the bun shaper or sock in order to create a bang.

4. Hold It Right There– Spray hair with a finishing spray if you would like to add a little more holding power to your hair look.
