Justine Skye High Ponytail Flipped To Side!

Arianne Suggs April 18, 2016April 18, 2016Leave a Comment

We cannot put it into exact words but there is just something absolutely hair-licious about a high ponytail reaching towards the heavens. If such a hairstyle could talk it would say something to the effect, “Hi, I’m a style and I’m like super fierce. What up?” Beyond that mix in some more dramatic attitude by flipping the script and pulling said hairstyle to the side and you’re just asking to command attention! The Purple Unicorn recently decided to let her tresses reign the hair game. The Justine Skye High Ponytail is what spring 2016 hair trends are all about and then some!

What’s not to love about the Justine Skye High Ponytail? It’s cool and modern thanks to her signature deep purple hair color. Plus, the volume of the tail makes the style seem less stiff and ridiculously fun to rock.

Nevertheless, what makes the voluminous tail such a nice touch is the sleekness leading up to the tail. To pull that off you will need a product with some serious holding power! All gels, pomades and edge control products are not created equal. Steer clear of of any gels that contain alcohol. Such gels will dry out your strands which is a major no-no if your goal is hair growth. Therefore, what are our suggestions for sculpting the Justine Skye High Ponytail?

Piece of cake! Here are two products that will have your hair laid in no time:

ECO STYLER OLIVE OIL STYLING GEL

ORGANIC ROOTS STIMULATOR OLIVE OIL EDGE CONTROL

We recommend using the gel to mold the ponytail into place. Then use the edge control for any stubborn strands. Nevertheless, if your hair is being a total you know what, just apply the edge control all over the base and brush like you’re in an aerobics class. Happy ponytail creating dolls!

Many wake up to the beautiful Tamron Hall bright and early, but we bet viewers have never seen her quite like this! The Today Show co-host had social media burning with her sleek, blunt cut pixie hairstyle. The blunt edges with longer wisps of strands framing Hall’s face gave her short locks a futuristic, modish vibe.

For award season celebrities know that they have to bring it which means fresh, innovative styling. Hall’s hair look for this year’s Golden Globes definitely fit the bill and then some. Tamron’s cut was met with mixed reviews with fans loving the look while others not so much. Some fans even compared Hall’s precision cut to Star Trek.

Tamron who is beautiful inside and out with a great sense of humor took all the social media buzz in stride. Hall even went as far as poking fun at herself on Twitter.

We love that Tamron Hall was a style risk-taker on the red carpet and it paid off. What do you think of Hall’s Golden Globe hairstyle, yay or nay?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 21, 2016January 11, 2016Leave a Comment

From the time she first made her appearance on the red carpet to her epic Golden Globes 2016 win (becoming the third African American woman to win a Golden Globe) Taraji P. Henson oozed Hollywood glamour! Literally, from her head down to her feet, Taraji’s ensemble easily made her a contender for Golden Globes 2016 Best Dressed. In the words of Beyonce, Henson looked absolutely ‘flawless.’

Now in our upcoming post and fashion recap of the 2016 Golden Globes we will get to the nitty gritty of the couture that made up Taraji’s look. Nevertheless, for just a moment can we make it clap for Henson’s hair? Short hair is already sassy, sexy and cool; case in point, Halle Berry yet Taraji added her own flavor.

For her big win Henson adorned her chic bob with some additional texture. Roughing strands up a little bit gave the hairstyle a modern, flirtatious feel. If you love to be bold in the hair department this is definitely the style for you!

Add even more appeal by mirroring Taraji’s deep side part. You will be surprised how changing up your part can change and alter your entire hair look. In the following pic you can clearly see a demonstration of vintage and modern chic. Both styles are classic it just really depends on your own personal style.

Hair Tips: Are you feeling Taraji P. Henson’s texture mane? It still takes precision to make messy hair look “on purpose.” Keep edges in check with an edge control product and don’t allow strands to go to astray with the help of a light holding spray.
