Serena Williams Appears Several Shades Lighter in a Post to Promote Stuart Weitzman

Serena Williams posted a photo as a brand ambassador for Stuart Weitzman, the designer shoe brand. There was an outward feature that was very noticeably different.  In the photo, Serena was seen sitting down in a black sweatshirt with a ‘5’ graphic with a pair of red Stuart Weitzman heels.   Social media unleashed on Serena and various accounts began posting shock memes.  Mediumsizemeech on Instagram stated: @sips_with_ree said “The f#@ y’all do to Serena.  Change it back right g$#%$ now.”  Serena has always been a radiant dark brown tone so it’s understandable why many were expressing their concern and wondering whether Serena intentionally lightened her skin.   Sometimes sunlight can make a person appear lighter than they are depending on the angle that the photo is taken.  If Serena is lightening her skin, it’s not anyone’s business but people still want to know why.   She’s always been seen in her photos with darker toned skin s...

Should You Glue Your Wigs Down?

The quick answer is NO! Using hair glue and adhesives can be hazardous to your scalp with prolonged usage.  We don’t recommend the use of glues on the hair. The Gorilla Glue lady is one of the most famous examples of what happens when you use glue to adhere wigs.  The end result is that it will also stick to the hair and may end up being hard to remove when it is dried. The adhesive or glue may provide a strong hold but your edges or hair may end up suffering in the long run. As easy as it is to lay a hold with the glue, your real hair can get caught in the glue mixture.    there are wig adhesive removers but these contain a cocktail of chemicals.  wig adhesives contain a cocktail of chemicals (Acrylamides, hydroflourocarbons), which can be harmful to the skin, body and environment.  Use of these ingredients contributes greatly to global warming.  Not only that, many hair and wig glues have fumes that should not be inhaled over a prolonged period of ti...
