How to Make a Messy Bun – 5 Styling Tips to Get Zendaya’s Look!

Arianne Suggs July 6, 2017July 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Want to look as hot as a Victoria’s Secret supermodel? Or how about one of the most talented starlets of Young Hollywood? Well, then we suggest you perfect the messy bun as of yesterday. This style is a favorite on the Gram as well as your favorite celebrities. However, as easy as it may seem, looking undone while not being undone is not always a walk in the park. Nevertheless, no need to fear, we have several tricks on How to Make a Messy Bun!

How to Make a Messy Bun – 5 Styling Tips to Get Zendaya’s Look

Yes, you can rock designer garb with a messy bun and still look high-end! See that is the true beauty of this hairstyle. It is extremely versatile. Can be worn during the daytime or at night. To a pool party or classy dinner date with your man.

An excellent example of this hair look is Spiderman Homecoming’s Zendaya. Our girl was on her merry way to the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala when we spotted her looking glam with the messy bun hairstyle. We love the easy, breezy vibe of Zendaya’s hair. Gorgeous without feeling stuffy. Fashion Side Bar- That ensemble Zendaya is wearing is a design by Viktor and Rolf. Aye!

How to Make a Messy Bun

Alright, now the real fun begins. It’s your turn to get the look. Here are few tricks to help make it happen.

Twist and Shout- Twisting strands is an easy hack for creating a cool messed up chignon look. Simply twist the entire tail or parts of it until coiling occurs. Then use bobby pins to secure hairs and design a messy bun.

OMG! You’re Such a Tease!– Creating volume and roughing up your strands a bit is major key when creating a messy bun. The volume ensures the hair gains a little more shape. While gently “roughing” up tresses through teasing helps the style look less than perfect. So take out those combs and get busy dolls.

Hang Loose- Normally having a hair out of place in Girl World is a sentence worse than death. However, when rocking a messy bun you want that slightly disheveled effect. Get it by first creating the style and then gently pulling hair loose from the bun. Also, having loose strands framing the face makes for a very sexy look. You will look like you rolled out of bed looking as flawless as the Queen Bey.

Finger Play- Now we know your parentals probably told you it is wrong to play with your food. Yet, when it comes to your hair all bets are off! Instead of using styling utensils such as a hair comb or brush to pull strands back securely into a ponytail. Use your fingers to work tresses into this style. The result will be a little messier than normal. Which is good because you want the hairstyle to look “lazy” without seeming like you faked it or tried to hard to achieve it.

How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 28, 2017June 28, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Today’s quick hair tip has to do with keeping strands healthy by trimming off any damage. This subject throughout the years has sparked quite the debate. Differences of opinion emerge from how often this procedure should be done to how much hair should actually be cut off. We plan to give you total disclosure as well as the real answers to such questions, especially if you wish to grow more hair. Nevertheless, for now our focus will be on, How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

How to Trim Hair: Should Hair Be Wet or Dry?

In short it is best to trim when your hair is dry. Why should strands be dry? When tresses are wet they stretch. Strands can literally stretch to almost 50% of it’s original length.

In essence this means you will not be getting a real accurate idea of how much to cut. One inch of wet hair due to stretching can look more like two inches dry. Therefore, if you wish to not cut off more hair than necessary it is highly recommended to trim hair once it is no longer wet or damp.

Dry hair trimming allows you to see clearly what’s damaged and what part of the strand(s) are not damaged. Thus, helping you to chop off only what needs to go. Instead of lopping off your hard-earned hair growth in the process.

So then, in conclusion did you learn how to trim hair when it comes to strands being wet or dry? Yes, dry hair is better because it’s easier to see dead ends which in turn helps you to trim only what needs to go.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair is an accessory. If you want an ensemble to be a perfect ten then tresses can not be simply ignored or overlooked. The fashions of the BET Awards 2017 red carpet were drop dead gorgeous and spotlighted 6 hot style trends of 2017. Did you catch them all?

If not be sure to hop over to our BET Awards 2017 fashion recap post where we break it all down and recap yesterday’s best looks. Nevertheless, right now it’s not about the gowns, suits or high end designer garb. One hairstyle flexed its power during the award ceremony proving that it’s not about length when it comes looking elegant and sexy.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Will the hottest hairstyle of 2017 please stand up? At the BET Awards it was The Bob that was spotted every single time we looked right or to the left. Shorter length hair seemed to be the look of choice of the night. Letoya Luckett, Amber Rose as well as Sibley Scoles all sported shorter locks.

However, which ladies came to the award show with slamming bob cut hair? We noticed: Remy Ma, Karrueche Tran, Cardi B, Kat Graham and Nafessa Williams rocking bobs, to name a few.

Thinking about giving this trendy hair look a try? When it comes to to styling remember blunt cut bobs translate into being more edgy. If you would like to wear a bob with a softer effect, aim to add waves or curls for a more care free tousled effect.

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

Long or short this doll can rock it all! Skai Jackson continues to kill the game in fashion, beauty and hair. This week she is taking home our trophy for Hair of the Week for her beyond chic hairstyle we spotted at the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere!

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

For the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere (whew, say that fives times fast) Skai Jackson wore a textured bob. Adding texture gives hair slightly more body and dimension. We are almost feeling like this hair look should be considered a lob, since it falls right at shoulder length. However, her amazing stylist says bob, so its a bob hunty! Skai Jackson’s cute hairstyle is a creation of Los Angeles hair stylist, Alexander Armand.

Nevertheless, the part of this particular style that we loved the most is her bang. The length was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t so short that it looked odd or so long that it looked uncomfortably resting in her eyes. It was just right and added a nice touch of panache to the overall look.

Fashion Notes: Did you think we were really going to leave you hanging on the fashion tip ladies? Skai’s dazzling printed floor length dress is by Alice + Olivia. At times, long dresses can really drown a petite girl. However, the tailoring on this dress ensures that Jackson isn’t “lost” in the design. She is wearing it, instead of it wearing her.

From the start, Riggins was highly motivated to foster a positive community. Plus help to instill confidence in women all over the globe. As a result, Shavone set out to design a protective hair styling solutions brand. A line that provides pre-looped, textured curls using the installation method of crochet braiding to achieve effortless curl crochet hair styles.

How Curlkalon Hair CEO Shavone Riggins Built 7 Figure Business In Less Than 1 Year

Shavone in essence turned a problem she faced as a natural hair wearer for 12 years into a solution to her hair maintenance. An issue that plagues multitudes of women all over. The issue of wanting gorgeous looking hair, but lacking the time to create such a style.

Kendras Boutique Hair Barb Product Kit-For Natural Hair and Extensions!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 15, 2017May 15, 2017Leave a Comment

A couple months ago you might recall one of our Obsession features showcasing luxury hair styling tools by the one and only Kendras Boutique. Each piece had more bling than Cash, Money Records! Nevertheless, the hair brand is back at it again with an amazing collection of haircare products. The Kendras Boutique Hair Barb Product Kit is a five piece set that includes everything you need to have amazing healthy hair.

Kendras Boutique Hair Barb Product Kit

There are several pluses about this kit but two stick out immediately. First of all, it has dual capabilities. Not only can you successfully use these products on natural hair, but they also work great on extensions! No more having to switch up products just because you switched up the game with your hairstyle. This set is truly a one kit fits all.

Recognizing this issue among the black market, Kendras Boutique developed a line that’s affordable as well as all inclusive. Regarding the kit KB says,

“Our Hair Barb Product Kit is a must-have. We have your complete set! Make sure you loves get your haircare kits to go along with your bundles and it also works amazing on your natural hair!

BOLD HAIR! Obsessed with India Westbrooks Blue Haircolor

Arianne May 8, 2017May 8, 2017Leave a Comment

India Westbrook’s new two tone blue haircolor is HAWT! Westbrook is never shy when it comes to a bottle of hair dye. The social darling has been a blonde with more fun to a sassy fire engine redhead. However, her current haircut is what dye dreams are made of!

We love how the darker blue transitions into an equally fun light blue. Plus, did you get a load of her divine cut and finger waves combo? The entire look is killer and makes us want to grab a pair of scissors and bottle of blue dye.

India’s awesome blue haircolor was created by celebrity stylist, Christol Williams. Christol is a master color expert as well as cutting specialist. If you can’t get an appointment keep on the lookout for her in-depth Hair Color Symposiums. The next one is in June.

BOLD HAIR! Obsessed with India Westbrooks Blue Haircolor

Thinking about dying your strands with a super vibrant hair color? There are a few things to keep in mind that no one might tell you. These next details should keep down any shock factor.

Cold Showers– It is recommended to wash your color treated strands with cold water to prevent fading. We’re getting chills just thinking about it.
Fadeeeee– You may think of Teyana Taylor dancing in a music video, but we mean your cool Instagram worthy haircolor. Coming from the salon you’ll look amazing but the fading will begin after about a week and when you go to cleanse/condition. Color-safe products will help some but the original vibrancy will still be lost to a slightly less awesome shade.
Process Princess– Getting the color you want depends on your natural hair shade. The darker it is the more bleaching and effort involved. Depending on how light and bright you are trying to go it may take multiple rounds of processing.
Split Ends– Chemicals in hair dye can make your hair weaker. This is why deep conditioning is important and some choose to do light “dusting” from time to time. Dusting is giving your hair a very tiny trim just to keep split ends at bay.
Just Say No– Color makes strands more delicate so you need to treat them like a baby. Avoid using heat styling products as much as possible.
That’s So Pastel– Hair colorists the world over agree that pastels are the hardest to achieve. Therefore, know the risks before you dye your hair. If it seems like too much try using a wig or extensions to get the look you desire. Dead, dried out colorized strands is not cute on anyone.
