Black Hairstyles: Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids for Motorsport Music Video

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 24, 2018December 7, 2017Leave a Comment

What happens when two of the biggest female hip hop artists in the game link up for what’s sure to be a Billboard charter? Music and fashion history! As 2017 wraps up we were already excited about this Nicki times Cardi B mash up; but then the undisputed Black Barbie hit us with the ultimate diva hairstyle! Hair down to there, boisterous hair color straight up with a braided twist. We weren’t ready Miss Minaj… but we are loving the Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids for Motorsport Music Video.

Black Hairstyles: Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids for Motorsport Music Video

Throughout 2017 Nicki Minaj has been rocking some serious inches, just in different variations. Mainly, a change in hair color or hair texture. She’s had hair down to ground that’s been pink, wavy, blonde, raven black, blonde and black braids and straight with pink and blonde coloring. Truly a hair chameleon.

Nevertheless, now the super long braids are back with a pink remix. In the Motorsport music video Nicki can be seen flipping, flicking and swinging her braids to and fro. The hair definitely adds a more dramatic element to her performance. Simply fierce!

The Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids were created by celebrity hair stylist, Kim Kimble along with pro stylist, Kendra Garvey. Kimble has been behind some of the amazing hairdos seen on Zendaya, Laverne Cox, Mary J. Blige, Oprah, Naomie Harris and Beyoncé.

Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids -Haircare and Maintenance

Thinking about taking the long braid plunge like Nicki? Braids can be a great protective hairstyle, but still require some care and maintenance. Here are a few quick tips to make sure your braid experience will be top notch.

1. The day before your braiding session deep condition your tresses so that hair is at it’s strongest.

2. Protect your hair at night with a scarf or silk pillowcase to cut down on damage caused by friction.

3.Wash your braids and scalp well at least every two weeks.

4. Keep locks well moisturized with a spray on leave-in conditioner or specially formulated braid spray. These products make it a cinch to not only keep your braids looking fresh longer, but the scalp well-moisturized. Try adding pure hair oil to your scalp too.

5. Don’t leave your braids in for extended amounts of time. Any new growth could be at risk. Even in braids hair continues to grow and gravity will pull on the hair at the roots. All that pulling could result in hair loss or loss of edges. This is especially true because some braid styles can be quite heavy. So when it’s time to take them out, just do it.

6. If your braids are really long do not wear updos all the time. This can add undo stress to your hair.

7. Use natural based products instead of items that have been produced and riddled with harmful chemicals.

8. After removing braids allow your hair to rest before reinstalling them. A nice two week break along with a deep conditioning treatment will help your hair remain strong, healthy and the provide the atmosphere for it to keep growing.

You Asked: Saw a few pictures of Gugu the other day and I immediately zeroed in on her skirt. Is it available for purchase yet? I’ve noticed that a lot of people are wearing things that haven’t even come out yet. Wondering if this skirt falls into that category too.

Ask and Tell: Tory Burch Resort 2018 Skirt as Seen on Actress Gugu MBatha-Raw

The Verdict: Hello there and yes Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s skirt is certainly a dynamic piece! This particular garment is by designer, Tory Burch. Burch who is well known for her amazing 60s/70s inspired kaftan as well as tunic designs, also steals the couture show due to her fun use of prints. Thus, for The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Women in Entertainment Breakfast event Gugu is adorned in a skirt from the Tory Burch Resort 2018 collection.

So far, we have noticed a couple Resort 2018 items up for pre-sale. However, not this particular skirt. It is still a little early, so give it a bit more time and it should be up for purchasing.

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

Our Hair of the Week trophy was won without any competition! Top Model Jourdan Dunn‘s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls are what top hairstyles are made of! The gorgeous color, the bounce and all that volume. We have the details on how to keep this hair look pristine even after you leave the salon straight from the pros themselves.

Why We Like It: Copper tones are the perfect colors to carry over into winter. The warm hues are a nice contrast against cooler temps and fashions.

Hair of the Week: Top Model Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls

Who is the celebrity hairstylist behind this winning hairdo? Renda Attia, founder of The Hide Out salon in London, England takes full credit of this hair design. Regarding the style she worked for Jourdan Attia says,

“New day, new look, new color, and new style for my girl. Hair cut and color by moi [me] using Olaplex, Wella Hair [as well as] Bumble and Bumble.

Orange is the new black! Jourdan Dunn with some sexy warm copper tones for this year’s British Fashion Awards.”

Renda mentioned using Olaplex, every heard of Olaplex products? Many haven’t, but for the professionals it’s their amazing little secret to keeping color treated tresses in excellent condition right after processing. Forget the days of fried, dyed and laid to the side. Olaplex is all about keeping strands healthy at the salon as well as in-between salon visits. Well thank you hair GAWDS!

Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color – Keeping Color Healthy

How is this brand able to achieve this hairstyling feat? Well, the answer lies right in how their products are formulated. You see, Olaplex is a bond multiplier that dramatically reduces breakage from chemical services. Olaplex is entirely non-toxic, free of silicone, sulfates, phtalates, DEA, peroxide, aldehydes and gluten. The best part of all? It works on all hair types!

For instance, Olapex has a product known as Olapex No. 2. What exactly does it do? Olaplex answers,

“Olaplex No. 2 is one of your most versatile salon tools. Use it after all your color and lightener processes to rebuild and strengthen the hair. You can also use No. 2 as a Mini Treatment by using a small amount in the hair during haircuts as a cutting lotion. [It] blow drys as a blow dry cream or even on its own as a 5 minute treatment at the shampoo bowl.”

Pretty cool right? Plus, the celebrities love these products as well when they go to get their color jobs done. Even NFL player, Odell Beckham Jr. has experienced the Olaplex treatment. So then, the next time you head to a salon, especially to get a style like Jourdan Dunn’s copper tone hair color be sure to ask your stylist about Olaplex.
