Rocking Purple Hair

I decided that I needed some purple hair in my life. Purple is my favourite colour after all so why not. It is the perfect colour for autumn and winter season. I did love the red hair I wore in the summer but I definitely prefer this purple look. It tends to look more purple in the light or close up. So it is kind of like Purple grape or black grape but with more purple. There are close ups in the video below.

Rocking Red Hair

Single braid extensions can set you back a minimum of £50 upwards. So I decided I would do what I had not done in years and and do my own braided extensions.  I think they turned out alright. Anyway check out my video for more information. Oh yeah I know I have not got the best edges but I address that in the video. Stay Blessed x

Lupita Nyong'o Braids Hair

Check out this video that was made for Vogue where Lupita shows off her hair braiding skills. She explains that she had a bad experience in America with her hair so when she was back in Kenya her Aunt showed her how to braid hair. This became a talent that she would use to style the hair of her friends.

It is definitely nice to see an African celebrity who is one of Hollywood's current darlings showing off Black culture to the masses. Hair braiding is a very old tradition that is passed down the generations. As the years go by more creative ways are developed. Mothers daughters aunts teach the younger ones to do this. Nowadays if you are not able to braid hair there is a plethora of tutorials online to show you how. Some traditions are just meant to be for eternity.

Yes to Lupita showing off African cultural tradition! 

Loving the Natural Hair in Hellmann's Advert

Saw this Hellmann's Mayo advert online and now on TV. What I love about it is that on UK TV there is an array of natural textured African-Caribbean hairstyles on display and even being styled in a salon. Well done to the casting team.
