When I am looking at fashion magazines or on blog sites, I always look at the model, actress, or musician’s hair. I think hair is so important, especially when creating a specific look.
One look that is very popular in the urban sector is “going natural”.
Now, if you don’t understand what natural hair is, to African Americans it is your hair without a relaxer or other chemical processing (similar to straight hair without a perm.) Right now, with braids in, my relaxer has grown out and my hair is natural. Though, my natural hair is too thick and wavy too keep it that way for long. I have lots of respect for women who go for this look and pull it off with grace and class.
Women like Angie Stone, Jill Schott, Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu have rocked natural looks from the Afro, to wild curls, to dread locks, and even the low fade. These looks show how rich my culture is and I love it! 
I wanted to talk about this trend both to share what is important to my people, and because of the new product I have been hearing LOTS about. It’s called Miss Jessie’s Original, and it helps women going for the natural or curly look. Celebrities from Alicia Keys, to Keri Hilson, and Joss Stone use Miss Jessie’s’ products. These products have also been featured in Allure Magazine, Nylon, Glamour, Ebony, and on the Trya Banks show. To me, the most exciting thing about Miss Jessie’s Original is it will soon be sold in TARGET!
I think EVERYONE should check out these products. You might find something you like!

Product review: Double ended smokey eye brush
Jan 25th
Most people wouldn’t know that I love to do makeup and hair. In fact I try to keep that little piece of information about myself under wraps because last year I lived in a dorm with 50 girls in my sorority and the few that did know this would line up in my room before formals and dates. Well this year for Christmas my dad and step mom gave me a gift certificate to Sephora, knowing very well how much I LOVE that store, so I sat down the other day and gave myself a much needed break to browse online. After looking for quite awhile I decided I don’t really need any more makeup to try and stuff into my already overflowing bags, yes plural. So wanting to get something worthwhile I looked under the makeup brushes because I have realized recently that my eyeliner brush has started to give up on me. I found a double ended smokey eye brush. It was all I could ever ask for, and after getting it in the mail on Thursday and using it everyday since I can happily tell you I am very pleased with the product.
Peace,
Kelci
