The color blonde has been associated with high energy, brightness and glamour.  Wearing various shades of blonde such as platinum, honey, golden or buttery blonde can make a person's look pop and also provide an eye catching beauty aesthetic. Blonde has always been associated with glamour by way of stars of our yesteryear.  Old Hollywood stars such a Etta James, Joyce Bryant, Marilyn Monroe, Sally Blair and Betty Grable made blonde hair a part of their signature look.  Present day stars like Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce and Eva Marcille stay true to the blonde hair game.  Blonde hair is not synonymous with any particular race.  With so many shades of blonde, this hue can look amazing on individuals of varying skin tones. Looking for a tried and true confidence booster? Go blonde but with a wig! That way, you'll save yourself from hair damage that can result from bleaching. We love working with blonde hair at Essence Wigs and currently stock many shades of blonde ...

Jay-Z has embarked on an event with The Roots for "The Roots Picnic," a two day music festival that also featured other musical acts.  The 56 year old rapper and businessman showcased a new look to the sold out crowd!  He's unraveled his freeform locs and debuted an afro on the first day of "The Roots Picnic" which began on May 31st in Philadelphia, PA.   Jay-Z's natural hair journey evolved when he decided to grow out his hair for starters locs during the era of he and Beyonce's, Everything is Love album.  On the album cover, he was seen sporting a TWA (teeny weeny afro).   The powerhouse duo stood in front of the acclaimed and revered Mona Lisa painting which is situated in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.  The photo itself, much like a work of art, could be interpreted in a number of ways.  Were they declaring their net worth as a couple-- much like the value of the Mona Lisa? Or was it a declaration of the significance of the couple's...

It was just a another day in a scissor happy beautician's world when a hair stylist from 717 Hair Studio refused to straighten her client's natural hair.  The client came into the salon with mid-back length afro textured hair.  The beautician proceeded to give her client a long winded speech about her opinions on the state of her hair.  In the midst of tooting her stylist horn and bragging about her years of experience, she stood over her client and spewed a great deal of negativity towards her hair.  As she proceeded with her speech, she was quite hands on as she expressed that her hair was the worst she's ever seen.  At one point, she began to exclaim that "As woman of color, we hold onto length and you don't realize that you're holding onto the length but it's not healthy. So you're holding onto dead length." The stylist's behavior became even more distasteful after she took a section of the client's hair, flipped it up so that it stuck ...

Beyonce and Jay-Z attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix event in Las Vegas on November 22 and surprised everyone when the couple took a bold ride with seven-time world champion, Sir Lewis Hamilton.  Hamilton and the couple's son share the name Sir, as the racing professional received the honor of British knighthood four years ago.  Beyonce usually keeps a very low profile when she is not on tour so the appearance was quite a surprise to her beloved fan base who are patiently waiting for her next album (Act III). The most decorated artist in history stepped outside in a zip front Louis Vuitton white and black leather racing inspired 2 pc custom suit that showcased a daring neckline.  She accessorized the look with bright red fingerless gloves and stunner black out shades.  Jay-Z was dressed in brand, Fear of God and his signature Timberland boots. Always the star, this time, Beyonce's luscious blonde curls was the star of this racing show.  Her gorgeous golden blonde...

Tekashi 69 went off on a remarkably shady rant towards people who had been talking negatively about his newest purple hair topper. Tekashi had been making multiple appearances in the colorful pixie wig which was seen in different posts and a recent interview.  He unleashed a barrel full of shady comments to individuals pointing the finger at his new cropped wig which some had been referring to as a 27 piece.  In his rant filled video, he employed a stylist to remove the wig while boasting about his natural hair which was notably long. He also made a point to show even the very scalp of his head.  During the rant, he claimed that he wanted to remind "bald-headed, no edges having @$$ h**s" about his actual hair.  He then went on to say that he wears a wig because he wants to and made it a point to say that those who've talked about him wear wigs because they have to.  Lastly, he called out all bald headed women asking viewers to tag them to his post.   T...

Who would have thought that a day would come where a popular hair trend is forced to an end.  If you aren't clear about what hair trend that is, think of those swirly waves that are shaped and molded onto a woman's hairline often with the precision, grace and perfection of an artist creating complex paintings and illustrations in the studio.  We're talking baby hair, curlfriends! Not a Monet, a Picasso or a Van Gogh! The obsession that some women have with baby hair should really be studied on a super grand scale.  Some ladies won't feel that their look is complete if their edges are not laid or slicked.  As a wig store dealing with various clientele, we can attest to the fact that some women take the baby hair trend to a whole nother level.  Having baby hair or "laid edges" means different things to different folks.  Baby hair may look cute when styled correctly but should females become so enmeshed in the baby hair craze?  What happens when an  ...
