Hot Celebrities that need to go Brunette

Kate Upton
This blonde bombshell has claimed to fame as the voluptuous unorthodox model. Kate is very girl next door, blonde babe and shes pretty much a baywatch babe! But as a model, she needs to change it up too. A Brunette hue will give the babe a more demure look, which will take away some of her cookie cutter beach bunny appeal.

Ashley Olsen
Ashley has been a brunette before, but as a busy fashion designer and business owner, She doesn't have much time. Blonde locks need more care and help when it comes to the color department, its pretty easy for blonde to look dirty and unkept. Ashleys stunning Brunette hair not only brings focus to her sexy eyes but makes her look sexy. Go brunette Ashley!

Taylor Swift
Taylor is a huge celeb, and shes the typical country singer; Blonde hair, Blue eyes and Boy crazy! Taylor needs to jazz it up a bit, with her love life going in the blender, I think she should go for a more dramatic change! She looks great with brown hair on SNL, and it makes her look more appealing to me.

Carrie Underwood
American Idol success Carrie should really consider going brunette, she has a great look. But she kind of looks like a soccer mom trying to hard at times, if she goes brunette, not only will she look edgy but a little bit more Interesting. Shes one of the good looking girls, i dont find attractive.

Jennifer Aniston
Seriously Jenn have you ever considered changing up your hair do!! How about some color. Those silky bombshell blonde hair is great, but you're getting a little old..go darker, you'll look more age appropriate...Try a lustrous ash brown. Maybe Brad prefers Brunettes.

Hayden P

Hayden always looks sun kissed and glowing, shes super cute and blonde is great for her, but I do see her eyes always being skipped by my eyes. She has stunning peepers so why not go darker and put more focus on her golden skin and piercing eyes. 

Tara Reid

I always thought Tara was absolutely gorgeous, she has the cutest face! the first movie i saw her was in Urban Legend..I thought she was so pretty, I wanted to be just like her! *just not slutty* Tara came a long way from the beach blonde babe, she really needs to clean up her act and get it together! Start off by ditching the booze and wearing proper clothing. Then throw in some brunette dye and you'll get a whole new Tara ready to book new roles. Moneys draining girl!

Blake Lively
How hot is Serena with this gorgeous brown color! Seriously I can't get over how mysterious and sexy she looks! Blake retire the blonde, gossip girl is so last season. Cross over to the Dark Side..XOX

Taylor Momsen
Another GG babe is Taylor Momsen, shes doing it big with her Rock Star image, the girl needs to try some hair color. Everytime i see her pictures, I feel like a kid dressed up a Barbie in rocker clothes and drew on her with a sharpie... Go big or Go home TayTay

 Amanda Bynes
How hot does Amanda look with brown hair, I think blondes a great color for her, heck she looks good with red hair to, but Brown makes her eyes look sexier and her skin look more golden. Rock the brown mandy and ditch the Platinum.

How hot does Jennifer Lawrence look with long brown hair, its so shinny and sexy. It makes her features look more prominent and her gorgeous skin looks golden. Seriously Jen go brunette!




















Barbie
Barbie needs to go brunette, this woman has been making girls feel bad about their hair for a long time. She always comes in platinum blonde hair! No little girl has Platinum Blonde hair naturally! Go Brunette Barbie and Don't look Back!

Co-Wash Plan

With all the healthy hair posts that I've done, I've come to a realization that it takes a lot more than a healthy hair routine for you to get sexy naturally healthy hair.

I've been a die hard blow dryer lately, and its made me realize the error of my ways.

Recently, I noticed how disgusting and unclean my hair looked, it was sticky and unmanageable, and although I did neglect my own advice and healthy hair routine and treatments, I think it's safe to say my diet and stress is playing a huge role in it as well. I've been wanting to Co-Wash for quite sometime, I always read about it and people boasted about their sexy silky strands, and even youtubers with gorgeous hair.

Till now I thought Co-Wash is for Black girls, that had kinky dry hair, but I was corrected.


After careful research and analyzing my own personal hair needs, I think I'm ready to began my hair journey.

Step 1:
No matter what you do, you're diet and lifestyle plays a huge role in what you look like, so skip the burgers and opt for a delicious healthy shawarma and plain water.Take your vitamins

Step 2:
Analyze your hair, if you're hair is normal, you might not need to go hard like us Dry-ladies. My hair is super dry, and I've been giving myself anxiety because I think I have bubble hair and I know i  have crinkle damage. With all those sexy curls I rocked all of 2012, it's safe to say I'm going to Hair Hell.

Step 3
This is the main step....The Plan..alter this according to your hair.

The Plan

Tips:
Avoid styling tools
Avoid Silicone
Sleep with a light braid
Use a hair dry turban
Don't tie your hair when wet
use a Wide Tooth comb
Keep a hair log, this will help you keep track of everything. You can always go back and alter the plan to see what works for you better and what didnt. 
Color treated girlies try a Protien filler with deep conditioner right after before you do any of these steps..give your hair about 2-3 weeks before starting this.

Day 1

1. Apply coconut oil mixed with Honey to your hair and leave it on for atleast 3 hours. This will soften the blow from the next step.
2. Use your favorite Clarifying Shampoo (Neutrogena makes a great one, but I'm currently using Garnier pure clean) * Rinse and Repeat*  - This will make your hair DRY as a fucking bone..Don't you worry though. 
3. Apply a thin layer of olive oil from root to tip..if your hair is really dry like mine, Put on a deep conditioner mixed with some of your favorite oil *Except coconut*, try to use one that does NOT contain any silicone. Leave it on for 30+ minutes with a shower cap over your head.
4. Put some almond oil or olive oil to your ends to protect them. 

Next wash (should be within 3-5 days)

1. No more Shampoo for you, so instead of rinsing your hair out with  shampoo, steep some green tea and let it cool. Rinse your hair out with green tea, letting it sit in your hair for 3-4 minutes. Massage your scalp gently to promote blood flow. Skip this step if you want to, but I think it maintains the cleanliness
2. Apply your conditioner and leave it on for 3-4 minutes and wash it off as you would. I wouldn't apply it to the roots, because it can cause buildup.. Opt for a silicone free one.
3. Apply oil to the ends to protect them

 Next wash (3-5 days)

1. Analyze your hair, is your hair really dry, or feels really unclean. 
2. Repeat previous step if you're hair is still feeling somewhat dry or really dry
3. Otherwise take about a spray bottle and mix 1 part Apple cider vinegar and 1.5 part water (preferably distilled) and spray your hair. leave it on your hair...Let it dry and condition as usual
4.  If you HAVE to and you're hair looks like KFC fried chicken , take a quarter size shampoo with no sulfate *Macadamia Oil has a great one* and wash ONLY your roots with it. let the product run through your hair. Skip the conditioner, opt for just oil around the ends..

Repeat till you hit the 2 week mark..
If your hair is doing well with this continue on..whenever you feel like its had too much build up and you just want a squeeky clean, restart from day 1.

Pre-Poo (Dry, damaged, colored hair)

Hey guys,

I've been looking for a great way to restore tons of moisture back into my hair, as i recently dyed it from lighter brown to blue black. I could feel my hair drying up more and more thanks to the winter weather and my neglect of at home all natural hair treatments!

I decided to research a little and found that what I've been doing for years, is actually a great way to moisturize and prevent Damage. It's called Pre-Poo ! ! !

It's huge in the black people community, as their hair is very easily damaged and super dry. So the sistas did me a favor, I've already been using oils on my hair since I was a kid, and it has worked so well!


Let me share my tips and tricks on your best Pre-Poo yet.

What is Pre-Poo?
Pre-Poo is basically applying your favorite type of all natural oil ; coconut, olive, avocado, jojoba etc to your scalp and hair. You wait anywhere from 30-60 mins and then hop in the shower and go about your shampoo and conditioner routine.

Heat and Pre-Poo?
Many women use hair steamers or heat during their Pre-Poos, i personally just apply my oil and use a hair dryer periodically to let my hair really soak in the oil.

Conditioner?
You don't need to apply conditioners when you pre-Poo, but if you want the added satisfaction, go ahead and add some.

Mayo?
Go all natural and skip the conditioner..Opt for Mayo instead for a lustrous shine
 
Detangle?
use a wide tooth comb to detangle your hair




 Tips:

• Use a natural oil for better results
• skip the argaan oil bandwagon and opt for coconut oil or olive oil
• use blow dryer, because its much safer than a hair steamer and hat dryer
• Put on a plastic shower cap or bag after every blow dry
• only blow dry each section for about 3-4 seconds on high heat
• Apply conditioner after an hour of only oil
• Use a shampoo thats moisturizing as well
• Apply a few drops of olive oil after for optimal results
• Skip the blow dry and go for air dry or low heat setting...Checkout my Healthy Blow Dry Tips
• Do this Everytime you shower, and don't neglect your all natural deep conditioning hair mask

10 Min to Glowing Skin

 Disclaimer:
These steps work really well for me, So I'm sharing MY EXPERIENCE
Try these steps at your own risk/Discreation
I only do this Once a month, maybe twice if my skins not feeling great.
Research EVERYTHING before you try
Know your skin; Allergies, sensitivity, reaction anything.
Jolen works great by it self, but others have had a reaction, so BE CAREFUL! AVOID EYES, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. 

My steps work well for me, because I exfoliate my skin and Apply the enzyme mask and finish with a natural oil to moisturize. I do this all at night, so my skin can rest up throughout the night and wakeup looking fresh..

 


So a few months ago, I've been looking for a way to brighten up my complexion and get rid of the peach fuzz on my face, I decided to try Bleaching. After careful and long research, I read many women use this to lighten facial hair and skin.

I picked up Jolen Creame Bleach from my local walmart. ..Come night time I looked at the box and decided to try it out right then and there, I Followed every single step to the core, and applied it to my face. I have pretty good strong skin, thank you god and parents!








It tingled a bit and after 10 minute, i used a wash cloth to wipe my face clean. I washed my face with water (luke warm) , then used Freeman Kiwi and Yogurt Face Wash , to ensure the bleach has been completely removed. I washed the face wash off with hot water then splashed cold water.  I used my Olay exfoliating system for the face wash.

----------------
Add 10 Minutes more to Sparkle
----------------

Because I have pretty good strong skin, i decided to use Freeman enzyme mask, to provide my skin with nutrients. Kind of like getting a lollipop after an injection.

Wash the mask off with some lukewarm water and finish by splashing cold water after 10 minutes (I keep it for as long as I can).
----------------
Finishing touches
----------------
Moisturize with your favorite moisturizer, I prefer to use almond oil as my skin is pretty dry and because its pure, your skin doesnt have to deal with more chemicals..


If your skin isn't looking as glowey, just wait till tomorrow morning. Let your skin rest and watch it glow tomorrow ;)

Perfect Blonde for your Skintone

Pale skin

When you want to get sunlight strand, and you're super fair, try to keep the tones very golden, the more golden tones you have the nicer your skin will look. Skip the platinum and get some darker roots and low lights.

We know the platinum beach barbie look is in, but NO, unless you want to make casper jealous..stick to the darker shade of blonde.

When you have gorgeous skin like Candice, topped with a beautiful summer glow, you want to keep a light dirty blonde look, its sexy and compliments your skin.

What the hell was Marissa thinking? Mischa has got it all wrong with her unpolished hack job blonde. the color is all over the place, and just super dull, which is bringing down the whole look. Not to mention it's called conditioner hunny, try some.

Jessica Simpson is synonymous with Blonde Bombshell, this sexy siren knows hair thanks to BFF Ken Paves. Jessica keeps her tanned skin and gorgeous sunlit hair. Opt for multi dimensional blonde, with tons of light dark and medium pieces.

The buxom blonde got it wrong, seriously her hair makes me wanna cringe. Skip the porn star look, and go for softer colors.

Why is it when Beyonce has that blonde hair, she looks downright gorgeous...MAYBE because beyonce has the color that is going for her skin. Not alot of darker skin ladies can pull off blonde, so kudos to Bey who got it right.

Talk about a bad accident.. Jessica always has a great sense of style, and shes very careful with her appearance..but what on earth made her go beach blonde and wear blu......ohh fantastic four..another horrible car crash. Jessica looks great with a more conservative shade of blonde, Jess skip the beach blonde for Kate Upton

Skin Rehab / Recovery *Extra Strength*

Okay this is one of the bad habits I really want to deny, but I can't help myself. After a long night at the club or a party, or simply just crashing, I sometimes Don't wash my makeup off. It's one of the worst things you can do to your skin! But accidents happen and I try my hardest to slather on Vaseline on my face and eye lashes to soften the makeup. Sometimes I even try to use my Equate exfoliating wipes.

I have put together a treatment for my face, to help myself recover from the toxins and dirt that I left behind, due to my selfish reasons.

1. Apply any kind of oil to your face, and leave it on for 10-15 minutes (i usually leave it on for 30, because my skin is super dry). This will help break down your makeup and moisturize your skin, while also supplying your skin with some much needed nutrients. Blow Dry your face periodically to open up pores, and let the oil seep in. (careful not to burn yourself)
   
   
2. Exfoliate! This will help remove any stuck on microscopic makeup and remove dead skin cells. Also will help wash away the oil.
   
3. Put on your favorite pore cleaning mask! I personally like to mix Freeman masks: Strawberry and Chocolate: Detoxifying, Dead Sea Minerals: To clarify and Purge and Add a bit of the Pineapple Enzyme Mask: AHA for a delicious skin treating concoction. If you want to go a natural route, you can always just apply Honey+Lemon Juice.
   
4. Wash off your mask after 10-20 minutes
   
   
5. apply your favorite extra moisturizing face cream. I like Cetaphil for myself!
   
6. Finish and seal your whole face off with some Aloe Gel, this will also help to soothe the skin.

Disclaimer: this may not work for you, but this works amazingly for me. You can change a few things to suit your skin. Before doing this always make sure you know Exactly what your skin likes or dislikes, reacts to or doesn't react to. It's important to know your skin and body before attempting ANY form of home repairs.
 Do a Patch test behind your ears if you need to be sure. Substitute for your favorite products if need be.

Drink tons of water and don't forget the chapped lips!
