The Verdict: We feel you! Beyonce’s House of CB ‘Fifi’ dress has certainly been the talk of the social media town. Another we love that is a little overshadowed as well is Bey’s emerald Bougessa coat.

However, we digress. Let’s talk heels on heels on heels! Beyonce wears heels by iconic couture label, Yves Saint Laurent. The heels apart of Bey’s ensemble are known as the YSL Velvet Amber Ankle Strap Heels. They come with a little bit of a price tag retailing for a cool $795.

Solange Covers Elle Magazine March 2017 Issue

For the March edition of ELLE Solange talks about a little bit of everything. She dives into music, love, her ambitions, art and her huge 2016 album. Regarding creating her wildly successful music she stated,

“Writing felt like this insular thing that I could go back in my room and express all that I would observe. [Also] all the emotions that would arise. It felt like mine, my little thing.”

Salamishah Tillet who is a scholar, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and activist shared thoughts on Solange. Inside the March issue Tillet gives her views regarding A Seat at the Table. She says,

“A Seat at the Table boldly channels the contradictions of our moment. The stew of pride, disappointment, vulnerability, and anger that African Americans are experiencing. In an era marked as much by the election of our first black president as the murder of young black people.

[Nevertheless] the record is sweeping in its reckoning with the nation’s vexed racial past and present. Furthermore its intimate and unexpectedly gentle.”

How did A Seat at the Table make you feel? Get the full scoop and check out Solange’s chic editorial when the ELLE March issue hits stands!

There are numerous black hairstyles that black women are wearing to help grow and maintain healthy hair. Celebrities in many ways are at the forefront in setting hair trends that will have us all running to the salon to cop it A to S and AP. Here are 10 celebrities who beautifully pulled off braided hairstyles.

Braids can look beautiful but to keep them looking pristine there is some maintenance needed. We will get into more of that in our next black hairstyles post. However, one issue some ladies come across when wearing braids is the dreaded itch.

We have all seen it or done it… the palm of the hand slowly creeps it way towards the head and the patting begins. Or if that doesn’t do it then as a last resort scratching becomes the next best option. Nevertheless, are there any black hairstyle tips that can be kept in mind in order to resolve this hair matter?

1. Dryness: Itching can occur when the scalp is very dry. In this case adding moisture could help to relieve any discomfort. Think braid oils as well as sprays and you will be on the right track.

2. Wash Cycle: The dreaded itch could also be a sign or indicator that it is time for cleansing to take place. Many naturalists are finding that using a dry shampoos do wonders to remove any itch.

Alicia SuggsUpdated on April 14, 2014April 13, 2014Leave a Comment

Coachella is a musical festival that highlights not only amazing up and coming artists, but today’s most popular established chart toppers as well. Therefore, it was fitting that flamboyant songstress, Solange, take to the stage and was even joined by her mega pop star sister, Beyonce. While everyone focused in on the music, we zoomed in on their luscious locks of hair.

Big hair don’t care was in full in effect as the sisters shook and gyrated while swinging their curly locks to Solange’s song, Losing You. Beyonce swung her trademark blonde hair and Solange’s tresses was a la Diana Ross. If you plan on stealing a page from these ladies’ style book, be sure to keep your strands well moisturized. Curly hair tends to be drier and needs hydration to stay looking fresh and beautiful. Beyonce and Solange performed together at Coachella at the Empire Polo Club on April 12 in Indio, California.
