Beyonce Fake Bump Versus Fake Hair

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
Beyonce Fake Bump Versus Fake Hair

Beyonce With Golden Blonde Hair

Beyoncé is never far from the spotlight.  Recently there was rumors which spread like wildfire that the superstar actually was wearing a fake bump.  Even Kathy Lee and Hoda showed a video of Beyoncé in the video where her bump appeared to collapse.  Of course Beyoncé’s reps said the rumors were ridiculous and that the popular singer is definitely pregnant.

Putting aside Beyoncé’s fake bump what about her fake hair?  It has been rumored that she spends upwards of $2 million dollars a year on wigs alone.  Anyone who follows Beyoncé knows that she transitions from super straight to super wavy and then curly hair in no time.  For some of her televised performances she has changed her hair as often as her costumes.

In the past InTouch magazine reported that Beyoncé has wigs made from her own hair clippings.  Since the wigs are hand made and use all or part of Beyoncé’s real hair, they can cost thousands of dollars to make.  Insider reports on the custom made wigs have indicated that they look like real hair and are spectacular.

The insider told InTouch Beyoncé’s wigs “are magnificent and well-made. You don’t notice them because they seem so real and are a big part of the singer’s image, which is one of perfection. She takes them with her and uses different ones depending on what she is doing . . . a concert and a party doesn’t call for the same look, and she knows that.” (more…)

Nivea Pulls Offensive Advertisement And Apologizes On Facebook

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Nivea Pulls Offensive Advertisement And Apologizes On FacebookCompanies like to push the envelope with their advertisements. Sometimes the gamble works, sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes, like in the case of Nivea, the whole thing turns into a major social network and news fiasco.

Nivea, a company which specializes in skin-care products, recently released a print ad that it has since pulled.

The ad, which generate almost immediate outrage showed an African American man preparing to toss a decapitated head (his own?) with an afro-style haircut. The ad copy reads: “Re-Civilize Yourself.” The underlying message was designed to say be that afros are not civilized hairstyles.

The media reported that Facebook users began posting photos of themselves with Afros on Nivea’s wall, saying things such as: ‘I wear my hair natural and I just graduated with my doctorate! So who needs to be re-civilized?? Nivea no longer welcomed in my household.’ (more…)

Oprah’s Hairstylist – Andre Walker Dishes About Oprah’s Hair

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Oprahs Hairstylist   Andre Walker Dishes About Oprahs HairOprah’s longtime hairstylist Andre Walker opens up to O, The Oprah Magazine in the April issue (on newsstands now)!

Oprah credits Andre for helping her keep her real hair for 24 years. “In the summer, I braid my hair. I wear weaves. I’ve worn weaves on the show. I’ve worn weaves on the magazine covers,” she says. “I have done pretty much all of it because in order to keep your hair, you can’t put heat in your hair every day.”

Additionally, check out Oprah.com for a photo gallery of Oprah’s hairstyles through the years…(Click on link)

It all started with a bold move…

“I’m dying to get my hands in your hair.” That’s the note stylist Andre Walker sent Oprah in 1985, after seeing her on the talk show AM Chicago. “Back then it was just Oprah, one publicist, and one producer,” recalls Walker, who at the time owned a Chicago salon.

Andre’s three tips for beautiful hair:

“Condition. Condition. Condition. Whether you think you need it or not, use a conditioner every time you shampoo, and slather on a thick hair mask once a week (I just launched a Keratin Mask and Treatment Pak that you can leave on in the shower for five minutes). Restoring moisture to the hair is really important to help repair dry ends and add shine.” (more…)

Ashton Jones Rocks Big Beautiful Voice And Natural Curls On American Idol

Friday, February 18th, 2011

Ashton Jones Rocks Big Beautiful Voice And Natural Curls On American IdolAshton Jones is a 24 year old retail manager from Nashville, Tennessee wowed Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson with her big beautiful voice.

The tiny songbird has big beautiful natural curls which billowed out around her pretty face like a halo.

Ashton worked hard to make it to her solo after suffering through a crazy group experience with Ashley Sullivan who had a meltdown.

Sullivan joined Ashton’s group late in the game and then because of the pressure begged to quit.  American Idol producers convinced the highly emotional girl to talk to her boyfriend and try to rethink her decision to leave the show.  She did and made it into the solo round.

Ashton Jones Rocks Big Beautiful Voice And Natural Curls On American IdolIronically with all the theatrics surrounding the group due to Sullivan, Ashton Jones got lost in the drama.  Luckily for the fans and the judges she stepped it up a notch when she sang.  Jennifer said “alright Sweetie, you did really well, it was really nice, we’ll see you later.”

Steven agreed “beautiful song.  I like the way you attacked it.”  Randy told the other judges when referring to Ashton “when you’ve got it, you’ve got it, no matter what age.”  Although Ashton made the latest cuts, the road is a long one on American Idol.  But watch for Ashton, her beautiful voice and her bodacious curls to stand out from the crowd.
