NeNe Leakes Sports a New Do’!

NeNe Leakes Sports a New Do

Reality starlet, actress and Broadway It Girl NeNe Leakes is showing why she is one of Atlanta’s baddest. NeNe rocked a brand new look this week which has deviated from her short hair cuts that she has worn for several years now. NeNe was one of the many celebrities in attendance for the amFar gala which was held in New York. Leakes wore a shimmery black dress, strappy heels and a new sassy hairdo’!

Leakes kept the blonde hair color but is now wearing long wavy hair with a side part. We think the hairstyle looks absolutely fab on NeNe and you can tell that she is feeling it! What prompted the change? Well, who can forget during last season’s escapades where a fellow RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) cast member contrasted Leakes tresses to that of a pack of ramen. Definitely a low blow filled with buckets of shade.

Nevertheless, NeNe is not one to let any woman’s opinion deter her so the change was because she simply wanted it! We always say to rock a style not according to what the masses say but because it is a personal choice. So then, what do you think of NeNe’s new hair look, are you feeling it?

2015 Summer Hair: Low Ponytail

2015 summer hair low ponytail

Sleek, low ponytails are an easy and trendy hairstyle to look great during the summer heat. Attain the super slick back look with the help of a pomade or edge control product. Nevertheless, ponytails can also do a number on your strands if you do not take proper precautions? How can you protect your hair while sporting this hair trend?

When tying your hair back their are two things you can do to help prevent or minimize the possibility of breakage:

1. Always use elastics that are covered with cotton or silk materials. Elastics made from rubber, plastic or metals can snap hair.

2. Before fashioning your hair into a ponytail first spritz hair with a light silicone spray to encourage strands to glide against the hair ties which will in turn prevent splitting.

Today’s battle is between two ladies who are no strangers to the short hair club. The hairstyle we are throwing into the ring of tress fire is The Crop. Solange Knowles’ version was a nice twist thanks to her showcasing her natural curls. However, Eva Marcille still takes some swings due to her daring platinum blonde hair color.

Therefore, who wins this hair war? Well, as always it was a tough choice that came down to one vote of a staff member. The winner is Eva for her hair color bravery!

Who do you think the winner should be?

Hair Scene: Dreadlocks

Hair Scene Dreadlocks

We are absolutely in love with this hairstyle! We love the silky texture of the locks and how it was styled with some up and some down. The coiling on top as well as the nicely laid baby hairs make this hairstyle modern and youthful. As more and more women go natural it is always great to get inspired to try out new looks. This shows that dreadlocks can be quite a versatile hair look and can be changed up according to vibe or style.

Hair of the Week: Zendaya Coleman at 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards

Zendaya Coleman at 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards

Zendaya looked like an exotic Repunzel walking the red carpet at this year’s Radio Disney Music Awards. The starlet rocked hair down-to-there in soft lush waves that looked like she had just emerged from the ocean waters like Ariel. Alright, alright enough with the fairy tale references, it’s the Radio Disney Music Awards we couldn’t help it! Nevertheless, we digress…we loved Zendaya’s beachy waves and hope that she keeps this look.

Black Hairstyles: Fake Bang and Topknot

black hairstyle fake a bun

Here is a fun hairstyle that is great whether you are dressed up or more causal. No need to do a big snip to achieve a bang, below you will find a quick tutorial on how to fake one. All you will need is:

  • 2 Hair-ties
  • Bun shaper or sock
  • Finishing spray (optional)

1. Pull Up– Fashion hair into a high ponytail and don’t worry about making it look perfect. A little messy actually makes this style look a little more edgy.

2. Add Volume– If your hair is not naturally thick or long enough for a top knot there are ways to cheat and make this look work, I do it all the time. Cut the toe end of a sock off and roll it up until it looks like a donut. Pull your hair through the sock and fashion your hair around it in order to hide the sock then secure strands with a hair tie leaving excess hair out. Nevertheless, nowadays socks are not necessary because pre-made “bun” shapers are available at the mall or local beauty supply store.

3. Move Forward– Pull forward the excess hair not surrounding the bun shaper or sock in order to create a bang.

4. Hold It Right There– Spray hair with a finishing spray if you would like to add a little more holding power to your hair look.
