The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show came back bigger and better than ever!  It was a fantastically colorful night as the Empire State Building lit up pink right before the show. The Victoria’s Secret fashion show has always been a huge symbolic representation of fashion for the brand but past leadership hit the snooze button on the annual showcase ever since the pandemic.  The fashion show is the brand’s premiere event to introduce the season’s hottest undergarments and lingerie. During the show, fans are treated to looks that manage to blend high fashion with fun, flirty and luxurious pieces that are signature to the Victoria’s Secret brand. The 2024 fashion show was an epic event that saw the return of numerous former Victoria Secret Angels both from the far and recent past.  Beauty was clearly on display on the catwalk with eye catching looks that featured lace, fine embroidery, bling and all that’s glitzy and glamourous. There was one feature of the show's beauty theme...

Almost 90% of black women have used a chemical relaxer at some point in their lives; many of whom began using it as children.  Usage of chemical relaxers has posed significant risks to the health of minority women. Women who use chemical relaxers are often unaware of the health conditions that they can introduce.  They have been clinically linked to reproductive disorders, infertility, cancer and other diseases.   A reporter for the New York Times, Linda Villarosa, spent a significant amount of time gathering facts about the health crisis surrounding chemical relaxers.  Through a lens similar to one idealized by black female epidemiologists, Villarosa discovered the well-researched link between the frequent usage of chemical relaxers and uterine cancer in black women.  These chemically-laced relaxers contain ingredients that act as endocrine disrupters which lead to early puberty and cancer in black women. Chemical relaxers have always been aggressively ma...

Lace fronts made with kinky edges are the latest rave amongst wig enthusiasts.  The wigs are not kinky in texture but the hairline is designed to provide a textured edge line to the wearer.  Most of these "kinky edges" wigs do not possess hair that is uniform in texture.  The hair may be straight, curly or wavy and the hairline or baby hair will be described as "kinky edges."  The hairline on these types of wigs are not actually kinky but more so textured.   Naturally kinky and afro textured wigs do not require kinky edges or a kinky baby hair line because the hair is all uniform and made to match the specific texture of the wig whether it be kinky or curly.  Essence Wigs " Fluffy Curls " Tousled Afro Lace Wig   Essence Wigs " Angela" Afro Wig       Essence Wigs " Idealistic " Afro Curly Wig         Essence Wigs Solo Fro 100% Human Hair Afro Lace Wig Kinky edges look best on wigs that are of a kinky straight tex...

Isis Gaston bka Ice Spice is the IT Girl of Generation Z.  Like a roaming colorful butterfly, she seemingly came out of thin air and blazed her way onto the rap girl scene.  She’s already formed collaborations with female rap heavy hitter, Nicki Minaj and pop sensation, Taylor Swift only three years in the game.  While briefly attending SUNY Purchase in New York, Ice Spice met and began creating music with her producer friend, Riot (Ephrem Lopez Jr.).  Riot encouraged and motivated her to pursue a rap career and she's since been successful. Ice Spice recently released her debut album, Y2K , on July 26th following the releases of her mixtapes in previous years.  The album contains 10 tracks and is 23 minutes long.  She's since embarked on her first world tour in July.  One thing about Ice Spice is that she knows how to get the crowds moving with her catchy drill and trap bops. Ice Spice has always sported a signature curly afro reminiscent of a ginger h...

Summer is finally in full swing and the temperatures are A-rising.  The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirping and the leavings are dancing.  It's one of the most beautiful seasons of the year.  The warmer the weather the less and less fabric is desired.  Hitting the style reset button is necessary during summer months especially if you're used to braving the cooler weather in heavy frocks and other winter essentials.  Just as one's wardrobe must be appropriate for the season, the choice of hairstyle also matters.  Summer worthy hairstyles should allow the hair and scalp to breathe.  Protective hairstyles and hairpieces should be lightweight without contributing to excess heat generation in the wearer.  Summer is also the time where folks vacation and encounter places and experiences where getting wet is the norm.  Hairstyles worn in water filled settings must be able to withstand high moisture levels.  Crochet units (netted cap) are p...
