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.

Arianne Suggs July 5, 2017July 5, 2017Leave a Comment

In the world of black girl hair styles sometimes you feel like you have truly seen it all. Braids, updo, waves, braids, curls, twists, straight and sleek. Then out of no where some ingenious hair stylist throws us all a curve ball. Did you hair lovers catch the newest one to hit the trendy hairstyle scene?

Black Girl Hair: Karrueche’s TNT Claws Large Hoop Earrings Hairdo

TNT’s new hit television show Claws certainly came out swinging! The series instantly garnered fans creating a cult following. Now of course the acting and numerous beauty looks have received much praise. Side Bar: If you have not seen some of the Claws’ fab claw creations aka nail designs. You have to hit up the series’ IG page. They are serving looks honey!

Nevertheless, being that the show follows the lives of beauty professionals it makes sense that much flair and style would be apart of the show as well. For in stance, Karrueche’s character, Virginia is beyond Bad and Boujie! From furs to six inch heels Virginia rocks them all.

Moreover, a BTS shot of Tran on set revealed a hair look that is every bit urban fresh. Karrueche’s blonde tresses are pulled back into a some up, some down fashion. To add drama braids as well as humongous hoop earrings are incorporated. We have seen flowers, gold clasps, crowns and even bobby pins be used as hair accessories, but never large hoop earrings.

Definitely a hair look that is outside of the conventional black girl hair box. What do you think of Karrueche’s style for Claws? Would you rock it or pass?

Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

Arianne Suggs July 4, 2017July 4, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set as seen at the 2017 Shaggfest.

You Asked: Hey 1966! Ever since you posted that mermaid color dress on Ashanti I have been stalking her page lol! I love her. I love her clothes. And I saw this green and black look that is slaying my life! I’m going away so I want this so bad. I cannot find it on the site online anywhere. Do you have any information on this?

Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

The Verdict: Hey Love! You are not alone. So many girls hit us up about Ashanti’s killer summer concert attire. However, we hate to break to you, there is good news and bad news regarding the Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set. The bad news is this ensemble is not up on the Angel Brinks Fashions website yet. The brand released the following statement in lieu of all the demand Ashanti stirred up, stating,

“Ashanti x Shaggfest 2017. She’s performing wearing a two piece set from our boutique collection (not up on the website just yet).”

That was two days ago. However, hours later we found this out from Angel Brinks, “Everyone’s crazy about this bathing suit set! It sold out in store before I can make it available on my website. We got more in… If you want one call in tomorrow and order yours. Available in small, medium and large. (323) 455-2336.”

So then, hit those digits! Also, notice that belt Ashanti is wearing? It is called “King Lion” and it is up on the site for purchase, so you can at least buy that part online now!

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

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.

Do you all know how much it cost? Or if it is on sale? I really need a deal lol but I know celebrities can afford anything so hopefully its not too much.

The Verdict: Photo evidence always helps so thanks for forwarding your photos so that we would know exactly which dress you are referring to! Normally, when it comes to us girls, seeing another chick in the same outfit as us is a fashion nightmare. However, when it is spotted on two ladies that are hotter than the sun’s core.

Moreover, there is some very good news if you are concerned about price. The Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress spotted on Teyana Taylor and singer/actress Christina Milian is under $40!
