How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color? This post will dive into how to choose the right color for your skin tone. Of course, there are plenty of fun colors trending right now. For instance, Vogue Italia for their big September issue is featuring four models with blue, orange, pink and yellow hair. You may want cotton candy or fire engine red hair but will it really be the best color for you? Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind.
Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color
Tip #1 The best hair color is one that is flattering to your skin tone and eyes. Most likely you already know your natural eye color well. To figure out your skin tone take a glance at the inside of your forearm. This area is usually not contacted by the sun giving you a pretty accurate picture of your skin tone. Test out different tints using this color (skin tone) as your guide.
Tip #2 Just freaking wig out! Not out of stress but seriously head to a beauty supply store and test out different colored wigs. For free you will be able to see which colors look best.
Tip #3 Find your celebrity twin. Hair experts swear by this trick. Look for a celebrity who shares the same eye color and skin tone as you. Celebrities tend to change their hair color often in order to seem innovative and on trend. Therefore, if they look fabulous in certain hair hues you know you will too.

Eat your way to healthy, gorgeous strands? No fairytale here ladies, there is actually proof to the hair slash food consumption story. So then, let’s tackle the question everyone wants to know. Brazil Nuts – Can They Really Help Give You Repunzel Hair?
Brazil Nuts – Can They Really Help Give You Repunzel Hair?
Let’s begin with an even simpler question. What are Brazil nuts? Brazil nuts come from South America and are apart of the Lecythidaceae tree family. They are super rich in selenium as well as mono-saturated fats. Moreover, Brazil nuts are also becoming more and more popular due to being high in calcium, protein, zinc and iron. It is deemed as being one of the best dietary components that improve not only health but longevity.
Therefore, what does all of that mean when it comes to hair and hair growth? Stunted hair growth and even loss of hair is often times caused by a deficiency of essential nutrients. So then, if your hair is constantly falling out it is not likely that you will experience or see much growth.
Remember we mentioned that Brazil nuts contain selenium? Selenium is a trace mineral that is major component that can promote hair growth. As a result, eating a food packed with an essential nutrient such as Selenium can cut down on loss of hair. Getting such an issue under control can help you achieve the desired hair result.
How Much Should You Eat?
A word to wise when it comes to Brazil nuts is that they are very high in calories. Yes, they are packed with good stuff but you want to pace yourself. Otherwise, you will be watching your waist grow along with your tresses.
How many Brazil nuts should you consume in order to see benefits? We chatted up several hair experts who all gave us the same answer. Consume just 3 or 4 nuts on a daily basis. Doing so will help your hair grow stronger and healthier in a short amount of time. You can expect to see a change in your strands in just a few weeks.

We recently had the honor of speaking with Terrinique Pennerman the CEO genius behind haircare line Kurlee Belle! Moreover, we gabbed away about natural haircare, business goals, inspiration and of course, all the wonderful Kurlee Belle products. Therefore, we are beyond excited to share our little chat with all of you. Keep scrolling to check out our exclusive interview with Terrinique Pennerman.
Natural Haircare: Meet Terrinique Pennerman of Kurlee Belle!
Kurlee Belle CEO Terrinique Pennerman
Q: Terrinique thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us. Tell us, what inspired you to start your own hair company?
A: Kurlee Belle started as a result of my natural hair journey. I wanted to stay away from harmful chemicals now that I was wearing my hair in it’s natural state. At the time, I couldn’t find products made from natural ingredients that gave me the results I desired so I started mixing my own hair treatments and twisting cremes— from the knowledge that I had acquired as a child growing up in The Bahamas. We would mix mayo, banana, avocado and egg as deep conditioning treatments and shea butter and coconut oil to moisturize and define the hair. My friend saw how well the treatments and butters were working for me and he encouraged me to start my own hair care line. That is how Kurlee Belle began.
Q: We absolutely love your brand’s name! Has such a nice ring to it. How did you come up with the name, Kurlee Belle?
A: Thank you! I actually came up with the name during a trip to Rome, Italy. At that time, I was transitioning from relaxed to natural, so I would wear curly weaves to blend in with my curly hair. As a tourist in the city, I think I stood out because of my very dark complexion. I would go to the local restaurants and the waiters would be like “Bella! Bella!” which means beautiful in Italian. The word Bella really stuck with me so I started playing around with the combination of Belle and Bella. Kurlee is the pronunciation of the word “curly” so Kurlee Belle stood out more to me than Kurlee Bella.. and that is how I came up with the name. 🙂
Kurlee Belle Products
Q: Please tell us more about your line. What type of products can women expect to find and buy?
A: Kurlee Belle is inspired by hair care recipes from the Islands of The Bahamas (The country that I am from.)

We’re all busy people so when we can kill two birds with one stone we are happy campers. Did you know you can mix fitness and haircare? Get a great physique and awesome head of hair. Check out the deep conditioning hair workout plan that actually works!
The Deep Conditioning Hair Workout Plan
We were kind of skeptical when we learned of this hair tip. In theory of course it sounded logical, but some of the best sounding tricks at times fall flat. Nevertheless, so what exactly is the deep conditioning hair workout plan?
First, you begin by completely saturating your tresses with a hair oil. We tried coconut, grapeseed, argan and Moroccan oil. Next, toss your hair up in a bun or if shorter pin it back and away from your face. You don’t want to clog your pores with all that excess oil do you?
After hair is in position go exercise! That is when the magic starts to happen. Once your body begins to heat up due to your movements the oil in your hair will also heat up. While you workout you will be giving your strands a nice hot oil treatment. Thus, deep conditioning your hair.
Deep Conditioning Hair Removal
Oil does not mix with water so you will need more than just H2O to remove it from your strands. All you have to do is wash your hair like normal and the treatment will rinse out. The deep conditioning hair workout plan is a very easy at-home treatment that can be done as often as you need.
Moreover, all that exercise you will be doing will have you looking like an IG baddie too. As a result, in no time flat you will achieve a sexy bod and beautiful hair! So try try out this hair trick because you will love the outcome.

Okay it’s official Keke Palmer is Angela Bassett reincarnated. I may have been too little to see Waiting to Exhale when it came out but I know a Bassett cut when I see one! Nevertheless, this isn’t a discussion of who did it first because Palmer is simply slaying my life right now. The Keke Palmer short cut is definitely one of my 2016 hair crushes!
Keke Palmer Short Cut
No this isn’t the first time Keke has chopped off all her locks. However, each time I absolutely love it. There’s some women who make short hair iconic. Like Halle Berry, Toni Braxton, Zendaya, Rihanna, Amber Rose, Dorothy Dandridge and Diana Ross. Palmer is right in the mix for me.
Not everyone can pull off short hair yet Keke makes it look like a sizzling trend every single time. The Keke Palmer short cut is a pixie dream. Short but with plenty of texture. The hairstyle says I’m all business with sassy allure.
Plus, I just love the attitude this style gives her! You can tell in her head she’s thinking, “I didn’t come to play with y’all!” She always seems more feisty (in a good way) when she rocks with the short hair.
The Keke Palmer Short Cut Reaction
I’m not the only one who is feeling Miss Palmers tresses. Fans have been weighing in on her look too. Here’s a few of their lovely thoughts.
“Love the short hair!”
“Damn she gorgeous.”
“Serving Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale!”
“Killin it.”
“Look like a young Angela Bassett.”
“Yasss.”
“Beautiful.”
“Yas girl.”
“She do look like Angela Bassett.”
Guess its unanimous. Palmer is Angela’s honorary daughter (LOL). They both share the same awesome acting chops and apparently great hair.

From the moment she came out onto the Entertainment scene we have loved Amber Rose. Her fearless style, attitude and iconic hair just slays our life. Who else can rock a bald cut like her? Yet, one thing people have debated over and over again is Amber’s heritage. Well, Rose set the record straight and gave us a look at her new glamorous hairdo! Read on because Amber Rose confirms ethnicity and rocks longer hair!
Amber Rose Confirms Ethnicity
We’ve always seen a gorgeous mixed race girl before our eyes. Body always on point and makeup looks from the cosmetic gods. Yet, for some fans knowing her exact ethnicity was of concern.
A quick google search and you can see just how popular the subject truly is among Muva’s tribe. Heated back and forths with some claiming Rose wasn’t even black. If you or your friends ever wondered about Rose’s genetics here it is straight from her mouth. She stated via Instagram,
“I’m Black/Portugeuse/ Irish and Italian. So now y’all can stop arguing in my f***in comments about it.”
We could of sworn she had already said this years ago. Nevertheless, Amber Rose confirms ethnicity for her fans and other inquiring minds even though she didn’t have to at all. That’s a real G who keeps it ninety-nine plus one.
That Hair Though
Amber… Girl you better work! Rose changed things up again and we love the new hairdo. She added length to her famous blonde locks and fashioned them into a chic vintage style.
Just weeks ago Amber stunned with a longer haircut. As much as we love Rose bald we do enjoy seeing her switch it up every now and then. Her hair was sculpted by the fab Tony Medina and her makeup was beat by Priscilla Ono.

Stay Tuned!
The 1966 Magazine Beauty Store is launching this week! If you have ever tired of going black hair product shopping to only not find what you need and deal with staff that doesn’t understand the struggle we got you! All products will include in-depth information so that you can get the Hair-edu-cation you need to look fly.
We don’t know if it’s the pregnancy glow, but Blac Chyna is pumping life into us in the beauty and hair department. Just a few weeks back Chyna had us doing a double take with her luxurious long, raven waves. An elegant and sophisticated look that we completely went ape over. Now the model/reality star has changed it up again going full rouge. Okay, we can admit it, we love the Blac Chyna new red hairstyle!
The length is shorter and the curl pattern is tighter but the hairstyle is still fly! As soon as we saw her rocking her new look we knew we had to get the deets on it ASAP. The style is perfect for any gal who is fearless in the salon chair. Want the Blac Chyna new red hairstyle? Keep reading…
Blac Chyna’s extensions are from Kendra’s Boutique (on the Gram search for @kendrasboutique you’re welcome LOL) and were custom colored to achieve their very red tint. The hair is the boutique’s Brazilian Deep Wave Hair. Lengths that were used to create Blac Chyna’s look were: 20/22/2-24 and a 16″ Deep Wave Lace Closure.
As you can see, the Brazilian hair trend is continuing its reign right into summer. Since so many women are indulging in the trend do a Blac Chyna and change things up a bit by incorporating a little color. We love that she went fiery red, serving up some mad Jessica Rabbit vibes. Betta work Blac Chyna!
Want to shop the Blac Chyna New Red Hairstyle look right now? Piece of cake, head over to www.kendrasboutique.com and have a great time shopping!

You probably read this feature’s headline, “Amber Rose Shows Off New Haircut,” and thought why is that such a big deal? Well, the gorgeous model normally rocks a hair look that can be summed up or described as rather… well, bald. Rose’s infamous platinum shaved hairdo has been inspiring many other hair brave women to follow in her fearless footsteps and do the big snip. We had become so accustomed to seeing Amber Rose with her super short hairstyle that we almost didn’t recognize her as of late.
Amber’s Infamous “Bald” Hairstyle
Let’s get some more details on the whole Amber Rose Shows Off New Haircut shall we? Amber was partying it up in hotlanta aka ATL aka Atlanta, Georgia when her new hair made its debut. Rose lived it up with a huge crowd and friends at the Gold Room. Moreover, her style was as fresh as her tresses. There was nothing mellow yellow about her attire! Rose wore an ensemble that showed off all her insanely stunning lady lumps. She wore a sunflower Gallagher dress by Jay Godfrey. She accompanied her sassy yellow dress with shoes by Aquazzura.
Going back to her hair (we digress LOL) Amber showcased another short hairstyle with a longer length. It still read fierce, it still was very edgy. However, is it bad that we prefer her bald look? It’s like when Halle Berry wears longer hair, don’t we all just wait it out till she goes back to her sexy crop cut? Some women just honestly do not need any hair on their heads and Halle as well as Rose are neck deep in that grouping.
Nevertheless, it was still a very beautiful look and it highlighted her stunning facial features. That is rule number one when thinking about going short dolls. Take into consideration your face shape and features when deciding on the perfect short hairstyle. Since once the locks are all gone there’s nothing left to hide behind. Short hair puts everything front and center.
In conclusion we loved Amber Rose’s new look. It’s always nice to change things up a bit. However, she kills the bald style like no other and we wouldn’t be mad if she went back to it.
Beauty Notes:Red lipstick is still a classic beauty look and immediately screams, “Yeah, I’m sexy and you know it, so take a picture it’ll last longer.” Maybe not in that order, but pretty darn close. Oh, and always line your lips to avoid the dreaded color bleed.
