Ditch the traditional one tone hair, go OMBRE!

Have you guys ever noticed Beyonce doesn't wears her hair in one color? Yes friends, she hardly does. The two toned look is called the OMBRE (some called sunbre). Any which way, it is a process whereby through coloring effects, a certain portion of your hair (either top or bottom) is lighter than the other. The ombre hair is quite versatile and could be worn in so many ways. Thanks to international celebrities like Beyonce, Khloe Kardashian, Rihanna, Ciara and the rest, the Tie n Dye hair  (Ombre) is proving to be ever trendy and timeless.

Our guys dangerously BALD and sexy!

Have you ever wondered why all of a sudden all our dudes are going bald? well, most recently, the bald head has been the guys favorite for reasons best to known to them. However, with my research lately, i've gotten to find out why truly bald is sexy.

My 'barely there' makeup routine in few easy steps!

Yeah, that's SolaDunn - the face behind the blog (with the rabbit teeth, lol). Okay, so i might be a lover of edge however when it comes to make up, i like to tone it down a little bit and that is why i look on to gorgeous black women like Megan Good, Keri Washington and Gabrielle Union for inspiration. They have managed to overtime keep up a mild, understated yet sophisticated look with their faces. Ofcos we can't deny the fact that makeup is a very essential part of our everyday lives, especially we women. Thing is though - i feel every woman should be able to master the barely there makeup. Its is soft, sweet and super easy - the essence of it is to have a lot on without necessarily being dramatic ( you know what i mean).

Sexy Vs Sophisticated!

Its the battle of the K's peeps. Both expectant mums (reality TV star, Kim Kardarshian and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton) are said to be both far down the lane (equally pregnant). However both have exhibited very different maternity styles. While Kim is dedicated to her sexy franchise, she is sticking to covering up her baby bump with tight and clingy clothings, Kate on the other hand, maintains her high class sophisticated status by opting for a more traditional look. Various comparisons have been made as to their pregnancy styles however i'd like to know which you prefer.
