Wedding Hair!

One of my readers sent me this beautiful picture. I love the hair! Thoughts?

Beautiful!

R.I.P. Donna Summer

Donna Summer died this morning after a battle with lung cancer. The disco diva was 63. Summer was a 5-time Grammy winner who shot to superstardom in the '70s with iconic hits like "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls." Who could ever forget those songs? And that HAIR!  R.I.P. Donna!

Must-Have Dolls!

My buddy Kim Petyt pointed this link out to me. Look at all these original beauties from Natural Girl's and Women United! How could we not buy one of these dolls? This idea comes from Karen Byrd, who wanted to take-on the project of customizing dolls hair, to have the look and feel of styles and textures of African American & Mulit-Cultural (ethnic) women and girls. I'll try to get more info soon. These are just lovely!!!

MET Gala 2012

We might be in Paris but we still keep tabs at what's going on back in the U.S. of A. Of course! These beauties are known world wide. Beyonce and her little sister Solange got a lot of ink due to their look at the MET gala this year (the Oscars of fashion!).  Thoughts? Personally I like Bey's look (although a bit risky one might argue) and I love Solange's. Well done, ladies. Well done. Here are some of my other favorite looks as well (La La Anthony, Paula Patton).

Paris Natural Hair Academy Featured in Essence

Remember the Natural Hair Academy that I attended on April 1 with experts Felicia Leatherwood and Jane Carter? Well ESSENCE magazine has featured pictures of the event on its site! Check out the lovely ladies here. Bravo to Clarisse and Bellebene for going international with this!

A Day at the Salon with Mark Clement

Mark Clement is an African-American hair stylist and owner of Mark Clement Salon in Paris. Mark's been living in France for over 20 years and knows the ends and outs of the hair industry here. Check out the review I did on his salon here. Recently Mark allowed me to snap a few photos of him doing his thing. I wasn't able to hang out long enough to see all of the final results, but I promise to get you more pictures soon! And by the way, if you'd like to get a copy of my latest book Next of Kin, swing by his salon.
