Can Beyonce’s hair get some poetic justice? Many remember Janet Jackson’s iconic hairstyle from the 90’s. It was not fried, dyed and laid to the side, just long twisted glory. However, it is Queen Bey’s turn to rock this trendy look.
Beyonce and her sister Solange have never been afraid to support team natural. Braids are a great style if you are transitioning from a relaxer to your hair’s natural state, growing your tresses longer or if you are needing a protective style to shield your locks from harmful elements. Beyonce has recently been posting photos on her social media pages of her long braided hairstyle. What do you think you think of Beyonce’s hairdo? Should she continue to bring braids back?
Oh snaps, we take it back maybe little Beyonce had Ms. Jackson beat! Mrs. Carter posted to her Instagram this throwback photo of her getting the braid treatment in 1989.
Spring showers really do bring spring flowers. During fashion week designers adorned their collections with the season’s little natural jewels via hair pins as well as head bands. Spring and summer hair should be easy and carefree. Hair accessories are a great way to transform an ordinary hairstyle into a more exquisite affair. Therefore, as we transition into summer if you are debating how to fashion your hair just think like a flower child.
This year the classic bob hairstyle received a major makeover. The updated modern take on this look has a flair of punk as well as rock n’ roll vibes. Several celebrities including, Beyonce have given this look a world making it an instant trend. The choppy look doesn’t just have to be created with straight locks. Up the ante and turn heads by adding even more dimension with waves and curls.
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.
Jada Pinkett Smith let her down as she attended the FOX 2014 Programming Presentation in New York City. From head to toe Jada looked like a masterpiece in an Alberta Ferrett Straw Fringe Dress accompanied with Nude Jane Calfskin Sandals by Saint Laurent. However, the glamour did not stop there! Mrs. Smith brought back her signature bob that nicely framed and brought out her facial features. We loved the hair and the color choice of her locks were also beautiful which why Jada Pinkett Smith reigns supreme as our Hair of the Week. Until next time, love, peace and great hair all week!

The Met gala did not disappoint in giving lovers of couture much to talk about in way of gorgeous fashions. Not to be ignored is the lush hairstyles that accompanied them. One of our favorite looks of the night came from petite songstress, Jonelle Monae.
Monae has become known for notoriously rocking a mean Pompadour. The stunning singer caused quite a stylish stir as she graced the event with a full braided pompadour that was just fabulous. From every angle Jonelle’s tresses photographed extremely well, which is why she is rightfully holding the title of our Hair of the Week. This is the perfect protective style for those searching for a natural hairstyle.
Hair Notes: Supermodel Joan Smalls also wore a style highlighting the braid trend. This side braid hairstyle exuded elegance, class with a dash of teasing flirtation.
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 Quickie: Always check the list of ingredients on the back of your hair products to avoid needlessly drying out your hair. Avoid products that contain alcohol or sulphur that can dry out your tresses leaving them damaged and brittle. Serums, gels, mousse and hair sprays may include such ingredients; therefore, avoid completely or keep your use of such products to a minimum.
For months now, Ciara has been a blonde who is having much fun preparing to be a mom. However, CiCi posted a picture for her adoring fans showcasing her new hair look, which she described as ‘wild.’ Ciara’s long and full beach-y waves are definitely on trend for this season and the highlights complement her skin tone very nicely. We always love how Ciara styles her locks, but this wild child look is definitely a keeper.
