MPL Hair Black Castor Oil Launch

By

About a week ago, I had the privilege of being invited to the beautiful Munro Boutique Hotel for the launch of MPL Hair’s latest addition to the family. Upon arrival, I was blown away by the amazing views and decor. What a great space to get in conversation with other women of color on our crowns and the importance of taking care of them even under the weaves and protective styles we may opt for. When it comes to natural hair, the primary hair-care tip to never forget is to moisturize. Using oils on your hair not only leaves it moisturized, it also helps seal in the moisture the hair currently holds.The most consistent member of my hair care routine, especially as I transitioned to natural hair about 6 years ago, has been MPL Hair. With over two decades of experience and becoming the trusted name in scalp and head health,…

TRESemmé | Inspired By New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Hair Collection

By

So last night TRESemmé hosted the Inspired By New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Hair Collection. Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to work commitments, but thank goodness for social media and press releases right?!The lovely event was hosted by Lalla Hirayama, a well known presenter in the South African entertainment space. Quite an unassuming selection, but it makes perfect sense! The event showcased the latest hair trends straight off the NYFW runway. The hair styles were created by Ceecee Mabaso, a local stylist that TRESemmé partnered with and sent to work backstage at NYFW, alongside global TRESemmé hairstylist and stylist to the stars, Justine Marjan.  I know CeeCee Mabaso personally and am so thrilled she got this opportunity of a lifetime. She literally lives and breathes HAIR. Her love and passion for hair is unquestionable. CeeCee currently owns and runs her salon in Durban which is called Hair Trends.…

Red Alert

By

I’ve never been brave enough to wrap myself up head to toe in such a daring color! However, for the color series, Junia Tsekiso (creative director for this shoot) had me well out of my comfort zone.Of all the looks we played around with, this one in particular is definitely my top favorite! I loved the fact that we were playing around with denim, and not just any basic denim denim. The sleeves of the jacket add much character to the overall look which makes this outfit particularly a great pick when you want to go for an effortless look. I wore both the top and pants for this combo, but if it’s all too overwhelming for you, you can wear the pieces separately. Look, I’m saying why not go on and be BOLD for a change. Summer is knocking at the door and red is definitely top of the list…

Beauty hacks

By

Some days are better than others. And on the good days, everything is always smooth sailing. However, it’s the bad days which you so happen to have so much to do and so little time! So, I got to looking up some simple beauty hacks on the internet to help my fellow sisters out with this life thing.One of my biggest struggles is applying nail polish. It’s either I get the application right but am far too impatient and end up smudging it all. Or, I remember in the last minute I have to look cute and do a terribly messy job. Some nail polishes now dry quite quickly and some simply don’t. If you’re as bad at the nail polish game and as impatient as me , here’s a beauty hack you might appreciate. I personally have found myself in safe hands with the LCN Quick Dryer right after…
