I know I am late with this because I didn’t get a chance to catch Black Girls Rock yet, but I did catch some of the fab hair including Marsha Ambrosius styled by Motions Global Brand Ambassador Ursula Stephen. She does Marsha’s hair quite a bit and I remember while we were in New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival she styled Marsha’s hair before...
I love going to Shawnda Dee because it’s very rare to find someone who does extensions that actually cares about your hair underneath. She wants your hair and scalp to be healthy and help people grow their hair out. AND she taught me how to take care of my hair at home so I don’t have to rely on a stylist for regular daily maintenance. In college and after,...
I had the opportunity to briefly interview MaCray and Austin of Chicagolicious at Bronner Bros but it was sooo loud in there and plus it was tons of people trying to take pics with them.. StyleNetwork hooked me up with a phone interview on Thursday so I got to chat with them again and get some more questions answered. I was especially excited because I love hair salon...
This past weekend, I headed to Lenox Mall to interview the fabulous celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine. If you haven’t heard of him, he is responsible for great looks on Iman and many other celebrities. He is now the Creative Makeup Director at Fashion Fair. I used to use Fashion Fair back in the day (Toasted Almond was my favorite lip color!!) I haven’t revisited Fashion Fair in many years due to the huge popularity of some other brands. I actually went by the counter not too long ago though. When I found out Sam Fine was...
I had the opportunity of being on set with Kim Kimble daily during the previous season of “The Game” when I was working with Tia Mowry. When I tell you, Kim has tons of personality so when I saw her tweeting about having a reality show, I thought she would be perfect!! Her reality show “L.A. Hair” premieres tonight at 10pm on WeTV. It’s pretty much the day to day of her, her stylists and her salon in LA. She does EVERYONE’S hair so I am excited to see who will make a guest appearance. I see Kelly Rowland...
I am a huge fan of pompadours and have been doing (attempting) them for years. I can never get it quite as good as when professionals do it but I always try. I really just need a good step by step and knowing what to do where. I have done this with my hair in it’s natural state, but never a smooth one so I can’t wait to try this. I reached out to SoftSheen Carson to find out how we can achieve this style at home with slightly blown out hair ________________________________________________________________ The 1950’s classic...
There is a new hair show on WE TV and it is featuring celebrity stylist Kim Kimble. I had the awesome opportunity to work on set with Kim Kimble when I was working on the set of “The Game” the season before the current season. I always watched her create these awesome styles on all of the ladies of “The Game”. I tried to pick up some techniques while watching her style hair every morning bright and early. To top off her hair skills, she has an awesome personality so I know this show is going to be alot of fun. When...

Johnny Wright, Artistic Style Director for SoftSheen-Carson & Celebrity Hair Stylist answered alot of the questions I get in my e-mail. Since I am not a stylist, I figured, “Hey, Why not ask a professional?” And to top it off, you know he does First Lady Michelle Obama’s hair!!! 1. What are some overall tips for haircare in the winter? Do we need to do anything differently than we would in the warmer/hotter months? Winter air and harsh indoor heat can be extremely damaging to your hair. Johnny Wright, SoftSheen-Carson...
