Is Your Hairstyle Giving Away Your Age?
Who doesn’t love to keep a good thing going? When several people compliment you on your hairstyle, you might think to yourself, “this is awesome, I’m keeping this style forever!” However, if you received those compliments several years ago then it’s time for a change and fast. Just because you rocked a do in the 80’s doesn’t mean you can rock it in the 00’s. To freshen yourself up, consider making slight changes to your hair from year to year like adding a bang, altering a bang, adding some layers or shortening it a little. You don’t have to make a big, sweeping change, just a simple change to help keep you looking up to date and fresh. In the interest of fairness though, there are some women who have created a classic look that never goes out of style and it has become their signature. So unless your name is Halle Berry or Toni Braxton, you will need to make some slight adjustments from year to year so your hair won’t give away your age.
Teyana Taylor Releases Taylor’d Extensions Line
Gorgeous songstress Teyana Taylor has finally given us and her fans what we have been asking for… the ability to look just as beautiful as her, well, in a way. Okay, so we won’t be able to have her super toned physique over night (bummer), but in no time flat you now can immolate her stunning tresses. If you have ever had the opportunity to even view pictures of Teyana you may have found yourself developing a healthy dose of hair envy.
Taylor already has an amazing head of hair, but the singer doesn’t mind changing her look up from time to time with the aid of hair extensions. One of our favorite hairstyles worn by Teyana is down-to-there tresses enhanced by full, luscious spirals. Anyone woman who has ever shopped for extensions knows that at times it can be quite a challenge to find a product that will look fabulous and last.
The guessing game and long searches are over because Taylor has now thrown her own chips into the hair game. Teyana has released her Taylor’d Textures extensions line now available on myextensionz.com. Taylor’s hair extensions are a combination of Peruvian and Brazilian locks that can be worn straight or in their natural wavy/curly texture.
What served as the inspiration behind Teyana starting her own hair line? Taylor revealed all via her personal Instagram stating it was all thanks to a chance meeting between her and one of her fans. Teyana wrote:
“I ran into a young lady who came over to me and was like “I love you! I love your movies! I love you as an artist! And I am so in love with your hair!” We began talking, and she was still raving about my hair, and in the middle of talking; her Mom came out and said “She has cancer.” I was stunned & I cried.. She was so strong tho it blew away. Her spirit was so warm. And just knowing all of the ailments that come from having cancer, I know one of the things that can be experienced during chemotherapy is hair loss… And with that being said She is pretty much my inspiration behind starting my hair line.. So to the young lady I met if u see this, I want to thank you & send u watever u need! …make sure you ladies go out and get ur #TaylordTextures#Myextensionz Available tomorrow at www.myextensionz.com.”
We probably can all agree that is quite an inspiring story with a wonderful outcome. Congratulations to Teyana Taylor on her new business venture, girl you are a class act! Be sure to tailor your own look with Taylor’d Textures now available for purchase.
Hair Dictionary: Temporary Hair Color
Hair Quickie: There are actually more than a couple hair dye terms to keep in mind when determining how you would like to change up your hairstyle. You’ll want to think about how much of a drastic change you are going for and for how long. Temporary Hair Color: When coloring your tresses at home this product basically just sits on top of your locks, lasting only from shampoo to shampoo.
Should I Color My Hair at Home?
Hair Quickie: Should I color my hair at home? If, you are looking to do a major color change to your tresses it is always best to get it done professionally.
You will want to seek a hair stylist for color if:
1. Your hair is damaged- You never want to inflict more hair pain.
2. Hair is relaxed- Applying chemicals upon chemicals should not be taken lightly. Let a professional do it right so that your hair stays healthy.
3. Plan on going lighter/darker by 3 shades- This is a drastic change and you may not successfully get the look you want out of a store bought bottle.
Therefore, little color changes such as covering gray hairs to blend with your natural hair tint may be done at home, but bigger jobs should always be done by a professional colorist.
How Often Should I Relax My Hair?
Hair Quickie: How often should I relax my hair? That is an excellent question, but one rule of thumb is to go by hair length. If locks are fashioned in a shorter style, relaxing more often may be necessary to keep your look in place. However, for longer lengths it is recommended to allow 6-12 weeks in-between relaxer treatments.
