Hair Wars: Light Purple Hair Color -Justine Skye x Amber Rose AND Tutorials!

Light Purple Hair Color

Today’s hair battle is epic! You guys have been asking for it so here you go. A hair color showdown between two divas who know a thing or two about being a style chameleon. Celebrity mogul Amber Rose and crooner Justine Skye square up for a light purple hair color face off. Here we go… let purple reign!

Hair Wars: Light Purple Hair Color -Justine Skye Versus Amber Rose

Purple is a great color to indulge in especially if you are bold, daring or love to hit the music festival season. Nonetheless, it can come with it’s challenges, such as maintenance. We girl talked with several colorists who told us on average this particular tone will look fresh for about a month. After conversing with everyone we believe it’s safe to say every 4-6 weeks a touch up will be necessary.

Light Purple Hair Color

Funny thing is one stylist mentioned that at one point they had the color fade away in just two weeks and on another occasion it lasted 24 weeks! The main key is finding a great colorist who can do it right as well as having good home care routines. Such as, always use color formulated hair products (i.e. shampoo/conditioner); and use a shower cap when showering to protect your hard-earned lavender color.

While it may not work in the workplace; if you can squeeze this style into your current lifestyle you are sure to turn some heads. Just like with Justine and Amber! We love how both of these stunners rocked this look. Justine kept hers sleek and straight; while Amber added a tad more drama with a deep side part and slight waves. Therefore, who wins?

Light Purple Hair Color

You all came through with the votes and it was a landslide. While it started as a close match up, in the end 73% of you felt Justine’s light purple hair color style was the best. Congrats to Justine, you truly are the purple unicorn love!

Light Purple Hair Color

Ahh, don’t you just love a great bonus? Well, today’s Hair Wars comes with a bit of a treat, tutorials! So many of you DMed us after this particular battle wanting to know how to get a rich purple hairstyle; and if it was safer than going a paler purple.

To answer your inquires, the answer is yes and no. Oftentimes hair coloring, especially, when going light can require bleach. Bleach, when used incorrectly can cause tons of damage. Moreover, the darker your natural hair color, more processing it will take to reach a super light hair tone.

Nevertheless, this does not mean you can not get awesome purple hair all on your own. We just believe that seeking the help of a professional is not only less stress but safer. With that being said, here are a few amazing tutorials that we have watched a million times (LOL), that can aid you in going a gorgeous purple. Check them out and happy coloring!

CurlFest 2018

CurlFest 2018 left the entire natural hair realm shooketh! We’re talking curl comradery, peace, love and undeniable black beauty appreciation. This amazing event is now the world’s largest hair festival and this year it went down in Brooklyn at Prospect Park.

We have had a ball checking out all the gorgeous hair and fashion style looks from ladies from all over who were in attendance. It was VERY difficult to narrow down a few of our favorites to just 75. However, we think we may have done it.

Moreover, if you are looking for inspiration to go natural OR new hairstyle ideas; you will definitely find both. PLUS, as a little fun extra we will be including some helpful natural hair tips along the way. So then, enjoy our Curlfest 2018 album and happy natural hair!

Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.

If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.

The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!

As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.

Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!

Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

Wave Those Toothbrushes! Christina Milian’s Cornrows Style and Baby Hairs

Cornrows Style

Thank you Brandon Almengo! Brandon is the man aka photographer behind one of Christina’s latest photo shoots. For this particular visual the singer sports a cornrows style and some seriously LAID baby hairs. We are totally hair crushing on this look and Christina is making us want to rock them from A.M. to P.M.! (Old school Milian song reference kiddos).

Christina Milian’s Cornrows Style and Baby Hairs

For several seasons now, the cornrows style as well as baby hairs have become more en vogue. Not to say that these hairstyles have not been “around” or trendy, especially within black culture. It is just that now everyone and their mama as well as all of mainstream pop culture is getting down them too. Literally, you can’t scroll the Gram timeline or Explore page without seeing it. Therefore, if you are looking for a style that keeps giving, you have found it.

Cornrows Style

Nonetheless, if you want to learn how to execute a look properly it’s best to look toward the source right? Therefore, who was the mastermind behind this glamorous hairstyle for Christina? Naima Lewis (@bellacheveux on instagram) is the stylist that completed the cornrows style on Ms. Milian! Lewis’ artistry just goes to prove that natural hairstyles can bring the drama and je ne sais quoi as much as any other hair look.

Furthermore, we also love this hairstyle because it’s a chic protective style. If you are trying to grow out your hair or maintain length this hair look will help shield your strands from harm. Also, there is so much freedom and room to create one-of-a-kind versions. As a result, you could steal Christina Milian’s cornrows style or you can design one with your own personal flair. It’s all up to you!

Cornrows Style

Don’t know how to cornrow hair? Girl… that used to be us! However, practice makes perfect and if you get to learning the skill now this hairstyle could be yours very soon! Here is one of our favorite video tutorials. It’s short and to the point. Plus, it really zooms in there so that you can get the technique down pact.

We’re talking products, tools and tips even on combating shrinkage. So if you are ready to take your natural waves and curls to the next level, read on!

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel B Mason Reveals How to Get Her Hair

Tamera Mowry

As all curly girls know, your strands are only as beautiful and manageable as your product arsenal. Here’s what Rachel keeps in hers get Tamera Mowry glamorous curls! Mason states,

“I want to give a shout out to Deva Curl for providing us over on The Real with some of your styling products and tools. They get Tamera Mowry’s curls so luscious and fluffy. And for those of you who wanted to know  what we use on Tamera’s hair, well here it is.”

Tamera Mowry

Deva Curl is absolutely amazing especially if you are currently wearing your tresses curly or wavy. The products are affordable and effective. Plus, they even have styling tools to make hair drying a cinch. Nevertheless, are there any other products Mason would strongly recommend for the curly and wavy hair squad? There is! She says,

“Product of choice today [is] Shea Moisture’s new product Red Palm Oil and Cocoa Butter [collection] for shrinkage prone hair. I tested it on a client and I liked how the Curl Strench Pudding has just enough weight to it to keep the hair from shrinking too much during the dry process.

Tamera Mowry

It’s not drastic but you notice a difference in the hair shrinkage. What’s key during the diffusing is to leave very little dampness in your hair, you don’t want to dry your hair out.”

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel Mason

With numerous awards, celebrity clientele and several hit shows under her belt; we wanted to know what inspires Mason to continue to be so successful in the hair industry. She reveals,

“Yeah so I was at mom’s place and came across these old photos of my pops and granny. Let me just say they are the reasons why I am the professional Hairstylist I am today. They were driven. They were innovative. They had growing hands.

They had knowledge. Skills. Spiritual. They were creative. They were hungry. They were determined.

They had strength during times when we (you know what I mean) weren’t acknowledged for our talents and creations but set pride aside and did what needed to be done to support their family. And honey child I am here to say I got all that in my DNA. 3 generations… different eras.. similar challenges; [and] all good people. I wish they were here today so I could thank them at least; for passing it down to me. Forever grateful.”

Last thing we wanted to know was Mason’s thoughts on the long held black hair question, “What really does it mean to have ‘natural’ hair?” There are so many opinions out there. However, many do not realize being natural does not necessarily refer to hair being curly or coily.

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel B Mason Answers the BIG Question

Tamera Mowry

Therefore, this subject is something we felt a professional view would be cool to have. So then, what does hair stylist, Rachel Mason have to say about it? Rachel states,

“Okay, so I want to make clear what going natural means. It means cutting out any and all chemical services to your hair. No color. No highlights. No relaxers. No perms. Virgin hair.

Easy enough right? I mentioned previously that I was going natural. I am. I am just going through something called a transition stage. You can cut it all off and rock a cute fade if it fits you to do so; rock a TWA or just cut the hair that is chemically treated and start there.

This is MY transition look and I chose to gradually go natural. I like to curl it, press it out or set it on some rods. I personally like the ability to change my hair when I feel like it and not be stuck with one look. I used to be like that once upon a time.

[However] very soon I will be completely natural, free of chemical or have virgin hair. But don’t be surprised if you see some color later down the line for summer! Here’s the thing ladies if you want to do it, do it! Make sure you do it for you and do it right. If you need help or ideas entering your transition speak to your Hair Stylist or just hit me up if you need a little inspiration.”

Fall Hair Trends: Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – The Banana Clip

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

Will the boss ladies please stand up? The Alexander Wang Fall 2018 collection is a modern, yet throwback to the working lady of the 80s. Strong, success-driven, lover of excess and of course, ultra chic!

Nonetheless, no collection is complete without hair and fabulous makeup. For the show, Wang complimented his stunning looks with one simple, but quite noticeable accessory. The banana clip.

Fall Hair Trends: Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – The Banana Clip

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

A hair clip, that’s high fashion? Oh yes, dear! What we love most about this hairstyle and hair accessory combo is that it really exemplifies the attitude of a boss. An entrepreneur is usually busy, attending meetings, running around town and just simple handling things. With that kind of work load sometimes the best one can do is throw their hair in a pony or topknot and call it a day. As a side note, you might also want to try alligator hair clips!

Alexander Wang Fall 2018

Alexander pulls from this business aspect and translates it into a smooth, sophisticated hairstyle. The model’s in the runway show tresses were pulled back with the front kept super slick. After that the now signature silver AW clip was added into the hair mix.

Alexander Wang Fall 2018 – Get the Look

To create this sleek do the Wang Gang called upon the expertise of Redken. Therefore, in order to get the official scoop we went right to the brand. In regards to the runway look and product used Redken reveals,

“This just in the claw clip is back. Redken Global Creative Director, Guido Palau, placed sleek ponytails in sliver clips at Alexander Wang as a nod to the 80s. Guido used Satinwear 04 to blow dry the hair; smoothed hair back with Mess Around 10, and set styles with Forceful 23.”

Hair Notes: One other cool thing we observed about this hair look is the use of double clips. Two AW silver clips were used for the models that had thicker or longer strands. This is a neat trick for curly girls who would like to try this out, but have a lot of volume. By utilizing multiple accessories this style can still be achieved.

Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids

What happens when two of the biggest female hip hop artists in the game link up for what’s sure to be a Billboard charter? Music and fashion history! As 2017 wraps up we were already excited about this Nicki times Cardi B mash up; but then the undisputed Black Barbie hit us with the ultimate diva hairstyle! Hair down to there, boisterous hair color straight up with a braided twist. We weren’t ready Miss Minaj… but we are loving the Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids for Motorsport Music Video.

Black Hairstyles: Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids for Motorsport Music Video

Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids

Throughout 2017 Nicki Minaj has been rocking some serious inches, just in different variations. Mainly, a change in hair color or hair texture. She’s had hair down to ground that’s been pink, wavy, blonde, raven black, blonde and black braids and straight with pink and blonde coloring. Truly a hair chameleon.

Nevertheless, now the super long braids are back with a pink remix. In the Motorsport music video Nicki can be seen flipping, flicking and swinging her braids to and fro. The hair definitely adds a more dramatic element to her performance. Simply fierce!

Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids -Haircare and Maintenance

Nicki Minaj Long Pink Braids

Thinking about taking the long braid plunge like Nicki? Braids can be a great protective hairstyle, but still require some care and maintenance. Here are a few quick tips to make sure your braid experience will be top notch.

1. The day before your braiding session deep condition your tresses so that hair is at it’s strongest.

2. Protect your hair at night with a scarf or silk pillowcase to cut down on damage caused by friction.

3.Wash your braids and scalp well at least every two weeks.

4. Keep locks well moisturized with a spray on leave-in conditioner or specially formulated braid spray. These products make it a cinch to not only keep your braids looking fresh longer, but the scalp well-moisturized. Try adding pure hair oil to your scalp too.

5. Don’t leave your braids in for extended amounts of time. Any new growth could be at risk. Even in braids hair continues to grow and gravity will pull on the hair at the roots. All that pulling could result in hair loss or loss of edges. This is especially true because some braid styles can be quite heavy. So when it’s time to take them out, just do it.

6. If your braids are really long do not wear updos all the time. This can add undo stress to your hair.

7. Use natural based products instead of items that have been produced and riddled with harmful chemicals.

8. After removing braids allow your hair to rest before reinstalling them. A nice two week break along with a deep conditioning treatment will help your hair remain strong, healthy and the provide the atmosphere for it to keep growing.
