This older Black diva is here to give you the “411” about many of the stylish and trendy hair dos that African American women rock today. I'm not just talking about the creative braids, twists, locs and Afrocentric dreads. Also among my listed recommendations, you'll find tips regarding everything from natural, curly, or chemically straightened hair, to wigs, weaves, and everything else in between. What I didn't learn and experience 1st hand, about any styles, products, and procedures shared below, I discovered with the help of my two sisters, four nieces, and four great nieces, all of whom are HAIR FANATICS. I just know you'll love the insight they all helped provide me with, when creating this list. My sisters are basically my age, so we share the same tastes. But all my nieces are younger and they all have some very diverse tastes. My four nieces (all sisters), are all in their mid to late thirties. The ages of my great-nieces range from adolescence (one 12 year-old), to young adulthood (3 early to mid 20's). Each and every one of these Black females in my family are skilled at doing hair. Please enjoy some wonderful recommendations.
Burning the candle at both ends but still want to look lit? I got you! As a creator trying to make my side hustle my full time gig, these products help me stay shining but deliver quick impact.
This curated lineup celebrates skincare brands that stand on their own and havent sold out.
