Miss Destiny was among the high profile guests invited to Rihanna’s long awaited Fenty x Puma Spring and Summer seasons 2018 fashion show. Rihanna’s runway extraordinaire did “work” at the 69th Regiment Armory. In regards to the show, Ryan only had glowing remarks. She mentions,

“This entire SS18 collection called my name. Thank you for being a boss at everything you do Badgalriri (Rihanna).”

We could not agree more with those thoughts! Nevertheless, Ryan also explained just how much she is feeling her new hairstyle. She says,

“This hair makes me want to roundhouse kick a villain in a film. Or Trump in real life. With heels on. Thanks Wigs by D. Davis.”

Love Will Never Do Without You! Ah, it looks like another bit of 90’s style nostalgia is coming back by popular demand. For a recent photo shoot for fashion brand and website, Story and Rain, model Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson. Moreover, if this sexy iconic look is the way of the future count us in!

As they say what’s old is new again. The Story and Rain shoot had Janet Jackson down with a capital “T.” Black crop top, tight denim jeans and the infamous black hairband updo. All that was missing was the super hot male models in their skivvies.

Nonetheless, the Internet never fails to weigh in on any hot topic especially when it comes to fashion and hair! We gathered a few stylish thoughts across platforms proving that we weren’t the only ones seeing Ms. Jackson, because we’re nasty!

“Gorg- total Janet Jackson, “Love will never do without you” moment.”

“Janet Jackson.”

“Cool.”

“Channeling Janet!”

“Twins.”

“Janet Jackson vibes!! Love it.”

“Beautiful.”

“Looking flawless as per usual, your hair is just fantastic.”

“Gorgeous.”

“Isssaaaa babe.”

“Sexy pie.”

“Reminds me of the Janet Jackson video. This is fire!”

Hair Notes: Jasmine Sanders sassy hairstyle could not have been created without a rockstar celebrity hairstylist at the helm. Sanders’ Janet hair was slayed by the one and only, Ted Gibson. Gibson is behind some of the famous hair looks seen on Lupita Nyong’o, Cameron Dias, Tessa Thompson, Ariana Grande, Naomie Harris and Angelina Jolie just to name a few.

All in all, we are loving this shoot which was lensed by Mike Rosenthal. Can’t wait to see the official photos!

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.

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.

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?

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.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair is an accessory. If you want an ensemble to be a perfect ten then tresses can not be simply ignored or overlooked. The fashions of the BET Awards 2017 red carpet were drop dead gorgeous and spotlighted 6 hot style trends of 2017. Did you catch them all?

If not be sure to hop over to our BET Awards 2017 fashion recap post where we break it all down and recap yesterday’s best looks. Nevertheless, right now it’s not about the gowns, suits or high end designer garb. One hairstyle flexed its power during the award ceremony proving that it’s not about length when it comes looking elegant and sexy.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Will the hottest hairstyle of 2017 please stand up? At the BET Awards it was The Bob that was spotted every single time we looked right or to the left. Shorter length hair seemed to be the look of choice of the night. Letoya Luckett, Amber Rose as well as Sibley Scoles all sported shorter locks.

However, which ladies came to the award show with slamming bob cut hair? We noticed: Remy Ma, Karrueche Tran, Cardi B, Kat Graham and Nafessa Williams rocking bobs, to name a few.

Thinking about giving this trendy hair look a try? When it comes to to styling remember blunt cut bobs translate into being more edgy. If you would like to wear a bob with a softer effect, aim to add waves or curls for a more care free tousled effect.
