Arianne Suggs August 26, 2016August 26, 2016Leave a Comment

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.

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut

Arianne Suggs August 22, 2016August 22, 2016Leave a Comment

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.

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.

Lash Extensions Care Plus What to Expect

Arianne Suggs June 9, 2016June 9, 2016Leave a Comment

Lash extensions are an excellent way to cut down on time when creating your daily makeup look. After 6 snooze button clicks, 5 minutes of deciding if your job or education is important then realizing you now have 15 minutes left to get ready in the morning; anything that can help a sista out is truly heaven sent. With that said, imagine waking up every morning with lashes that make your eyes pop with a dazzling radiance which looks 100% natural. It’s no dream and many women are living it.

Lash extensions are becoming a major staple in the beauty world. Numerous salons are now offering the service as part of their beauty lineup. Nevertheless, it is always best to know ahead of time what to expect before having the procedure done. As a wise man once said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

Lash Extensions Care Plus What to Expect

Roadrunner Don’t Play That: This process is not a speedy one. When getting lash extensions set aside at least an hour in your schedule. Your lash extensions professional will be adding in volume/length to your natural lash line literally one hair at a time. So be patient and get ready to just set back and relax for awhile.

Rub a Dub Dub: You are going to want to but you must learn to resist temptation. Rubbing on your peepers will only cause lashes to fall out quicker. To keep your awesome eyelash look longer you need to institute a hands off policy for yourself.

To Clean Or Not to Clean: Well of course you are going to have to wash your face at some point but its HOW you go about doing it that will be a little of a challenge. Since the lashes are held in place by glue you need to be extremely careful when it comes to having any type of moisture coming near your extensions. Cleansing towelettes can help to safely remove dirt or makeup near the lashes. Never pull or tug on them or you risk losing hairs.

You Need to Cut It: (Insert dance moves) On the real you may need to literally cut out certain makeup. Some makeup contains oils that can wreck havoc on your extensions. Oils and lash extensions do not mix! We will say that again… oils and lash extensions do not mix so avoid using eye makeup that is oil based. Such products will only encourage strands to slide right out of their place.

Sleep Like a G: If you normally wake up with your face firmly planted in your pillow you may need to make a few adjustments. Friction created by sliding your face along your big fluffy friend will actually be damaging to your lashes. Lash extensions can easily be pulled out so it is best to rest in a position where your lashes rarely come into contact with your bedding. Women have found success sleeping on their backs or on their side slightly on top of their hand in order to protect the extensions.

I Don’t Think You Ready For This Gel-y: Waterproof eye makeup is very tough remove, however, if eyeliner is a must then using gel liner would be a better option. Gels a little easier to remove but care is still needed in order to not disturb the extensions.

Get Low: As time goes by you will notice your once full set of lashes looking a little on the low side. The lashes will fall out so this means going in to get them replaced. How often will you need to go in to see a lash extension expert? Every lady is different and it will depend on how well you take care of them. Most women average around 3-4 weeks with 6 being the max.

Betta Have My Money: Lash extensions are not cheap but many salons offer a discount to first-timers. This is done of course to get a girl hooked so that she will continue to get them in the future. Right at the gate you are looking at least $100 or more depending on volume as well as style. More dramatic looks will cost you more money. Also, keep in mind the maintenance costs. To maintain your lovely lash look you will need to go in for refills just like you would for acrylic nails.

Amber Rose Shows Off New Haircut!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 1, 2016June 1, 2016Leave a Comment

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.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 4, 2016May 3, 2016Leave a Comment

This year’s hairdos spotted at the 2016 Met Gala were just as exciting as the fashions that accompanied them. It wasn’t just about length or whether strands were up or down. There was one trend in particular that seemed to take the cake among the stars.

Hair color, hair color, hair color and say it with us, hair color! The 2016 Met Gala saw a wide range of hues. The varied looks included all ends of the spectrum. From platinum to rich deep, reddish plums. Highlights were also big on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet. However, enough yapping right? Here is quick breakdown of all the various hairstyles that revived our 2016 Met Gala Hair of the Week Award!

Amandla Stenberg

She literally allowed her hair to be her crown of glory. We absolutely adored her gold hair accessory.

Cynthia Bailey

After the show is the after-party! Reality starlet and model Cynthia Bailey hit the 2016 Met Gala after parties with a voluminous curly fro accented with a crown braid.

FKA Twigs

Here’s how to give those French braids a twist… literally. Twigs wore a braided updo that twisted at the nape up to about center. The look also incorporated hair jewelry that seamlessly went with her designer gown.

Beyoncé

Many could not simply take their eyes off Bey’s backside. We couldn’t either… her sleek tresses with the blonde hair color and highlights were seriously on point!

Zendaya Coleman

This is so modish and elegant we can’t stop staring. This cut is all about precision and execution. If you were born with retro and vintage vibes running through your veins you just gazed upon your new hairstyle.

Kerry Washington

She may have been wearing all black but Kerry’s hair was all types of bold. There was nothing subtle about her hair color that complimented her loose waves. If you’re going to the attend the Met Ball you might as well go all out or just stay home.

Jourdan Dunn

She had us at asymmetrical hair cut. Dunn’s Bob was pure perfection and only seemed to become more stunning from every angle. Moreover, the gray hue with dark roots was just killer.

Nicki Minaj

Her expertly placed platinum hair color showed true craftsmanship. Take note how the color extended all the way to the very tips. Bravo colorist, bravo.

Ciara

She’s currently working on a new album so why not a new hairstyle? CiCi came to slay with vintage waves and metallic silver strands.

Lupita Nyong’o

One of the most talked about hairstyles of the 2016 Met Gala outside of Ciara came via Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita took natural hair to new heights with a five tier updo.

2016 Black Hair Trend: Sleek Braids

Arianne Suggs April 27, 2016April 27, 2016Leave a Comment

Looking fabulous and growing your hair in 2016 has never been easier! If your hair is your crown of glory all you need to do is indulge in a sleek 2016 black hair trend to look effortlessly stylish. Recently, one major style was spotted on three glamorous starlets: Zendaya, Tika Sumpter and Aja King.

Zendaya, Tika Sumpter and Aja King enjoyed a luncheon together hosted by Zendaya herself and Glamour mag. The dynamic trio all wore the 2016 black hair trend gorgeously and as if they had sent out a memo to each other first! Whether by intention or not all stunning ladies came rocking sleek braids.

In the past braided trends included a looser feel. However, 2016 braids are all about precision. Neat and sleek execution is what’s trending.

Moreover, braids can be tailored and altered to fit various couture looks as well as personal taste flawlessly. We loved the halo crown variations just as much as Zendaya’s cornrows. Nevertheless, if longer hair is your end hair game then this trend is the way to go!

Will this 2016 black hair trend really aid in achieving hair growth? The word “aid” is truly the answer to this popular question. Braids are excellent for hair retention. Your hair is growing at a steady rate but you may not see much growth due to hair damage factors. Hair breakage from styling or split ends for instance can cause strands to become shorter. Thus making tresses seem as though your hair is literally not growing at all.

Braids are a “protective style” because they allow hair to be protected from elements that could cause harm such as too much heat styling with a hot curler. This protection provided by braids allows hair to grow safely while maintaining length. A true win for any girl with Repunzel ambitions.
