Be Hair Inspired: Photos Of The Day

How is it going people! I hope you are all having a wonderful and blessed week. So today, while checking out what was happening in the natural hair world, I couldn't help but gasp at the pictures on Curlynikki (I adore her blog)of her on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry. I will post the pictures she took with some other beautiful naturals as well on the show. My heart is always filled with joy when I see women carrying their own hair with so much confidence. The woman with the gray fro is on point and Actress Nicole Ari Parker is looking lovely with her TWA. Congrats Nikki for doing a good job on the show and you look stunning. As always I will put the pics below for you to see that it's possible for you to exude such beauty and elegance with your own hair (curly or straight). The key is to work with what you have, make the best out of it, and then rock it with CONFIDENCE. Source Source

Be Hair Inspired: Photos Of The Day

I am still smiling from ear to ear after seeing pics of some Naija babes looking so take away. They exposed most if not all of their hair growing from their scalp, whether chemically straightened or not. These ladies were looking so beautiful and fresh, I like to see women rocking something different. The pictures are from Bellanaija at the “Music for the Pair of You” Event in Lagos. Enjoy and get inspired. The girl in the red with the red hair accessory is just too cute. That is a mean side hair bun.

Focus on girl in the middle with the locs

Leave the dude and focus on the ladies' hair

Styling Feature: Pompadour

Currently, one of my go to hairstyle is the pompadour and I have been incorporating it into my daily styling regimen. This particular hairstyle gives me a more sophisticated and elegant look which I love. It is very important when choosing a style, to go for one that helps accentuates your facial features, and this does it for me 100%. I adore this style because I can get creative with ways of making it my own and just having fun with it. Pompadour hairstyle to me is an elegant style for both a day and night look. I always put a twist to this style by either french rolling the back of my hair, creating a bun, or wrapping up the back of my hair with a scarf. The pompadour dates back to the 18th century when it gained initial popularity among fashionable women such as the mistress of King Louis XV, Madame de pompadour, which the name pompadour originated from. A pompadour can be achieved by combing the sides of the hair back, while pulling the top of the hair forward and curling over itself. However, there are different ways as to how to achieve a pompadour, and pictures below will show how these styles can be worn giving you ideas on how you can make it your own.

Men do rock pompadour too you know :)

In my subsequent post to come I will be showing you how I rock the pompadour hairstyle and what I did to achieve the various looks. Remain blessed.
