Prince has gone...natural!

OK so I know it's been ages since I've blogged here and I do apologize. A little hard to do it all--write articles, books, blog, interview. But I'm back and I'll try to bring you guys some new information! Starting with...PRINCE! He has gone back to his "roots". Now it makes me wonder what he was doing before. Perms? Relaxers? Anywho, what are your thoughts???? I know France will love it!

South African Film Crew Films Mark Clement Salon

Mark Clement and members of his salon were recently filmed by a South African Film crew. The documentary is focused on Paris and black hair. I was invited to attend but unfortunately could not be there. Still, I look forward to seeing the results of what is sure to be an interesting piece!

Style Icon: Christiane Taubira!

France 24 recently wrote:  "On January 29, French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira appeared before the National Assembly to defend a bill that would allow gay couples to marry and adopt in France. The speech has galvanised the left and given LGBT activists a new icon."

I agree on that, but I'd also like to point out that Ms. Taubira is also a fabulous STYLE icon. Have you noticed how she rocks those braids? J'adore!!!

Favorite Hair Products

Hair products available at Monoprix

What's on your list of favorite hair products? Are they available in Paris? Leave a comment; readers would love to know. I have tons, but one of my favorites is Knot Today by Kinky Curly. It was on Essence Magazine's "Beauty Best Sellers List" in 2008, and rightly so! Speak no more of tangles when you use this product. It truly works!

"KNOT TODAY TM is a creamy herbal conditioner and detangler designed to smooth the cuticle and remove knots, snarls and tangles from thick curly textured hair. Can be used as a regular rinse out conditioner for wavy hair or as a leave-in for thicker curlier hair types. An excellent product to use after removing braids and extensions."

Can't add anything better to that than IT WORKS and you can even get it in Paris. It is NOT available at your local Monorprix or Auchan, but you can shop for Knot Today at www.bellebene.com!
