AND THERE ARE TIPS………..

8 anti-breaking tips via blackgirlonghair.com

1. Avoid direct heat (blow drying, flat/curling irons, hot rollers, crimpers)
1a. Alternative for curls – use flexi rods, curl formers, straws or rods

2. Use Gentle Cleanser (sulfate-free shampoos)

3. Low Manipulation (protective styles are good)

4. Moisturizing & Conditioning (water, leave-in conditioners and oils or butters

to seal the hair)

5. Trim split ends

6. Avoid dyes (if you choose to color your hair, go to a professional or use alternatives like Henna, semi or demi permanent colors.

7. Wrap your hair at night (satin scarf and/or satin pillow case)

8. Give your ends some TLC (the ends are the oldest part of your hair so make sure to keep them moisturized at all times

well HAWTies if you have a few natural tips or blogs or ladies you want us to showcase lets us know, we’ll gladly do!!!! Until Next Times HAWTies…….

A new thing over here at MH, we want to showcase different NATURAL HAWTies. All of have different textures & curls & styles so to show off the different sides of NATURAL!!!!

Let me introduce to you all to Danisha, born & raised in the Bay Area, Cali. Smart, educated mother of 1  & she just so happens to be my cousin (our Dads are Twin brothers) And she is a Natural girl that WERKs!!! I have asked her a few questions on her NATURAL journey……………..

20120831-085237.jpg

How long have you been growing your Locs?

I’ve been growing them for 5 years now……..

20120831-085913.jpg

20120831-085924.jpg

Do you retwist them yourself, if so what routine do you use? And what products do you use?

Yes i do wash & maintain the care of my locs myself… I sue Mango lime wax for retwisting…. I use fantasia brand tree oil shampoo for washing and African healing oil to moisturize them and keep them from getting dry.

What advice would you give to those Thinking about locs?

My advice for those who wish to grow locs is wait until they’re absolutely ready because it requires a lot of patience. It’s not for everyone, but the rewards are so worth it!!!!

20120831-113350.jpg

Lastly what do you LOVE the most about your hair?

I love the THICKness, texture, color and the new-found healthiness of my hair. Its my crown that I wear with a renewed sense of pride. I’ve never been happier of with my decision.

FASHION ODE

Hey HAWTies Hey,

I know I’ve been MIA for a minute now & we have much to catch up on!!! But for now let’s get into our first FASHION ODE of the month, every Wednesday we will be showcasing a different person, style or trend that has made an impact. Some of these FASHION ODE’s should inspiring & others may be HFF but its all in fun in the name of Fashion & Style.

Our first FASHION ODE of April goes out to the Diva of the Muppet Word, The one the only …………………………………

Miss-piggy-shoulder.jpg Miss-piggy---the-muppets.png 

Miss Piggy! Yes HAWTies, LOL! Miss Piggy is described as a Prima-donna pig, but you must admit she is the most fashionable & stylish pig/muppet you’ve ever seen. For you HAWTies not to familiar with Miss Piggy, she is an icon to be F’ed with, she is the soul of feminine charm, but she can instantly fly into a violent rage whenever she thinks she’s insulted or thwarted! She started off as a chorus singer on the Muppet show but quickly became the leading lady after her distinctive personality caught the attention of viewers. She became more than a one joke gag & turned into an actress, singer, Plus-Size fashion editor, perfume maker & Icon.  And yes as a child watching her on the muppet show  & movies, I wanted a few of her diva outfits! She may not have played a signficant role in the fashion world, but as a young child she is one of the first Diva’s I seen in action & for that I salute Miss Piggy with a FASHION ODE, please follow me on Instagram (massivehawtnes) & Tumblr  to check out the rest of the ODE & to check out the rest of my FAB Fotos (yes I know I spelled it wrong LOL)

I know she is just a muppet, but style is in all shapes & forms & apparently species! lol Til mext time HAWTies…………..SMOOCHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NAPURAL FRIDAY…………Dear Diva Diary Edition……..

 

Dear Diva Diary……..

I am obsessed with big hair. Im not sure what it is about having a heaping load of hair of my head. Let me not lie to you of all people! LOL…….. I really love the look of it of course but I honestly feel likes its a security more than anything else. It started off as OOOooo I want curls like that girl, which just happened to be some random girl I seen on one of the NAPURAL blogs I follow. Knowing dang well that my hair pattern wasnt that type LOL so why not rock a wig to get the look. Well that opened up the door to my current love affair…BIG HAIR. So you know that you couldn’t tell me nothing with my first wig LOL yes we know that I an be a bit much sometimes. But I also liked the fact that it covered the side of my head that was & still is growing back from my Cassie moment LOL yea that a whole nuther diary entry ok, Dont judge me, so needless to say that I was WERK’n the hell outta the wig…. Forgot to tell you I got it sale thats ALWAYS a plus.

There goes that Shaved Head I was talkn about

20120224-090233.jpg 

But after that wig I went right to another then another but after that I told myself that I needed to let my own hair down & when I did…………………………………. I was not as pleased as I was with it anymore, well before the big hair. I LOVE MY HAIR, please dont ever get it twisted. But that dang wig did something to me & my hair security! I dont like it one bit either but yet I still put that dang wig back on my Head. And the hair is getting bigger & bigger. I know, I know what your going to say is that I am beautiful either way……..thanks Diva Diary but, yea yea!  Please dont give me a basic answer, a little band-aid to cover the wound. I need to ween myself from the DANG yaki, never thought you would hear that from me huh. Well I super serious I wanna go back to LOVING the way my hair looks on my completely. I just cannot believe that Im not competely just happy with what I got but atleast I can be honest with myself about it all………………..

2012 Grammy Red Carpet

Hey HAWTies Hey,

Last night was the Grammys & the show was pretty good. Although there was nothing that stood out for being crazy like someone arriving in an Egg LOL But I really enjoyed the tribute to Whitney Houston from Jennifer Huson, Chris Brown & Rhianna both performed last night & they both ripped it! Adele came back after having survey with that sultry voice of hers. the red carpet itself was full of celebs with plunging necklines, mouse masks, sparkly accessories…tons of them! Lets check out a few pics from the night HAWTies………

I will start with who was HANDS DOWN BEST DRESSED, Rhianna looked awesomely stunning in this one-of-a-kind all black Armani dress with gold accessories to top off the look. Rhi Rhi needs to share the ancient secret of her glowing skin, against that black dress she it looks delicious. Not to mention her Blondie ‘do is super HAWT on her, but what hair color is not HAWT on her….WERK is all I can Rhi Rhi WERK!

Rhianna Back stage

 

Katy Perry hit the red carpet with an Aqua color do, which looks great on her. She showed up wearing this pale blue Elie Saab dress. I actually like it, she looks beautiful & not thinking about her EX

Katy on stage last night

 

Adele blessed us with her souful voice, but shocked us with this Old Hollywood look she rocked a gorgeous Giorgio Armani sparkle number with three-quarter sleeves, a cinched waist, and to-the-floor length. To top off the look that ‘do is what did it for me. The side part blonde curl ringlets. True Diva

 

Nicki or Roman, who ever she was last night showed in this red Versace cape dress. This look is right up her alley.  I a little Red Riding Hood mixed with a little Evilness. If you never mind the dress & just look at her Face!! Flawless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the minimal make up.

 

Nick & Taylor, Princess of All things Perfect & Queen of All things not Normal! Loves this pic.

 

Taylor got her grown up on in this Zuhair Murad form-fitting gown with rose gold appliques, a mandarin collar, and sweeping train. She looks gorgeous in the dress but she most def looks like Nicole Kidman.

 

Fergie, Fergie, Fergie  wore a Jean Paul Gaultier number. I think its a little young looking , not saying that Fergie is old. I love & appreciate her edgy style but this is not for her. Maybe on Rhi Rhi in a differnt color.

 

Lady Gaga in her many original outfits! I actually like it, she looks a little scared but pretty!!! lol SIDENOTE- Look at Vinc in the background, looks like he has lost some weight! I know Tamar is all over her teddy bear!

 

Carrie Underwood showed up on the carpet in a white Gomez-Gracia gown with silver sequins that covered everything but her neck. Then she turned around & showed us that she isn’t all that conservative.

 

A. Keys hit up the carpet in this knee-length  totally sleek  Alexandre Vauthier black dress with rounded shoulder pads. What made the look was the BOLD GOLD triangle neck piece she rocked. I really didn’t care for the hair but the whole look was a HAWT one for the singer

 

Now her husbands look…………………………………..HATED IT!! ( In Living Color Voice)

 

Kelly Rowland showed up with a beautiful Naputral hair style & rocked a peaches n’ cream Alberta Ferretti dress with silver flower appliques, mesh neckline, and soft draping. Very basic look for Kells, I’m very happy her hair was on point cuz she is known to be sketchy in that area.

 

Basic & Bold………………….Kells & Gaga

 

Kelly Osbourne wore this more than beautiful Tony Ward Couture one shoulder sparkley gown. Her lilac hair is cute on her too.

 

 

Legend Diana Ross & showed us that BIG hair still don’t care!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Paris was there, why not sure but she wore this white Basil Soda dress accented in gold floral motifs. She looked very Regal & Classy. Had to give it to her she is growing up.

  

Corrine Bailey wore  a Christian Siriano black unique dress, which is pretty to me. But I really don’t like the hair ‘do with the dress. I wanna cast her in the next Tim Burton movie…… With a different ‘do the look could’ve have been stunning.

 

Jessie J wore this silver Julien Macdonald gown made of a cotillion of small squares. I really like the dress, well part of it. The bottom mermaid part I could have done without & maybe fit the bust part a little better on her & trimmed the hemline off about 2 inches or so. Just a thought.

 

 Esparanza Spalding, I love the fact that she is a Napural but that is no excuse for this dress. Have nothing else to say.

 

Taraji was there to present & honestly the fit of her dress had me super mad at her stylist!!!!! We have seen in her so many more better looking dresses………………….WHY is my only question?

 

Amber Rose showed up with her Boo in the Yellow number. This doesn’t really feel like an Amber Rose outfit to me. Not sure but she almost looks uncomfortable in it………

LL Cool J & his wife Mrs. Smith looked really good, Dont konw why we don’t think of them when we think of Hip Hop couples!! They’ve been together for Years!!! Loves it!

Russian singer, Sasha Gradiva was barely known here in the states until she showed up on the res carpet in this Robocop-mated-with-Barbie couture dress. LOL, I aint going to lie I want on!!!! That ish is DOPE as hell…..  

  

Ice-T & Coco showed up & HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Coco has something on where we cannot see that 11th Toe of hers! They are a cute couple & looked real good last night.

OKAY HAWTies, what did you think of last nights looks, performances & do you think anybody wasnt deserving of their award? Let’s chat about it all. O yea fashion week has started &  if you want to check out a few shows hit up my sister in style blog  theurbanclassboutique.com/
