ABC - Another BAD Creation by @LovingYourHair

Can you say pretty? I can and it is pronounced Teyonah Parris. Last night at the Mad Men Season 7 premier party, Teyonah Parris looked gorgeous from head to toe. Her hair was in a fabulous updo by Felicia Leatherwood, aka @lovingyourhair on Instagram. Felicia described it as combination of "puff twist meets curls with a kriss cross Updo in the back." Whatever it was, it looked fabulous. Here are some photos:

And the whole look was beautiful:

 I am a huge fan of the show, and I'm glad to see that Teyonah is taking part in Season 7. I wonder if her character will rock an Afro this year, or stick with the wigs/press-n-curls that she's worn for the past year or two. I'm hoping that she has a new look, and a larger part this season, but we'll see on April 13th when the show premiers on AMC!

Lupita Nyong'o of 12 Years a Slave - Natural Beauty

I love the taper on the sides.

Lupita Nyong'o was born in Mexico, raised in Kenya and educated in the US. She is a 2012 graduate of the Yale University School of Drama's Acting program, and upon her graduation she was immediately cast in her first film role playing 'Patsey', in 12 Years a Slave. Her next role will be in the Liam Neeson film, Non-Stop.(Source 1, Source 2)

I think Lupita Nyong'o is beautiful, and I know that I'm not alone. I've been seeing her on red carpets over the past few months, and every time I do, I appreciate the way her twa frames her face and her gorgeous skin!


Here she is on the red carpet for the European premier of the film.If you would like a recap of her makeup click here.

Hey Look It's....Jada!

I know that I cover the Smith family often, but they continue to do such interesting things with their hair, that I just can't help myself. They are a family that really believes in my "New Day, New 'do" motto. Last night Jada was honored by the Make Equity a Reality Foundation in Beverly Hills. She rocked a new look.

Jada has been wearing the sides of her hair shorn for quite some time, and now she's taken it to a new level by simultaneously bleaching the sides. I kind of looks like a clean shave. I don't think it's her best look. Not because she is too old to wear this or any other hairstyle, it's just that it would likely look better when the rest of her hair is down, or if she had platinum highlights in the rest of her hair. Right now it is just too jarring for me to find it appealing. What do you think?

The top is braided with a slight pompadour....

Photo Friday -Naturals of the Week (Oprah, Ms. Lauryn Hill's New Music, etc..) for 10/4

TGIF!!!!! Iam really starting to like Photo Fridays! I get to Insta-slk folks, and just post pictures that I like...natural hair is diverse, and I like it all, although I must be ready to color my hair because my eyes have been especially prone to liking colored hair over the past few weeks...Anyway, I thought that these ladies looked really cute, and were all saying something different with their natural hair.

Oprah looks like she lost some weight! She is shown leaving a hair salon
in California yesterday. She look's great, and I am loving the curls!
#CurlsontheStreet

Christina Milian was shown signing autogrpahs after leaving a
Dancing with the Stars rehearsal this week. Her curls are looking a little
tired, but hopefully a little TLC will bring them back to life! 

And in other news Ms. Lauryn Hill's incarceration has ended. Here is a link to her new song on Sound Cloud called "Consumerism" that she released late last night...

@magdamn - I love the color!!!!!!!!!

@2fancyforya - I live the versatility! It's 5 different styles and it doesn't look
like she modified her texture at all - no twist outs, banding,  etc.
Just quick, cute styles that seem to fit her style & personality. 

@dreadnosity - I like curled locs...

@ericaleshai - A fluffy 'fro...and THE COLOR!!!

@naturallyme_queenkb - I love the braid out!

@nappturallyu81 - Pretty style...

Photo Friday - Naturals of the Week for 9/27

While I love Don Cheadle, my focus in the first few photos is his partner, Brigid Coulter. The couple has been together for more than twenty years and have two teenage daughters, Ayana and Imani. Brigid is an interior designer with her own company, Brigid Coulter Designs, based in Santa Monica and the creator of an African-print influenced textile line. Her clients have included the likes of Matt Damon and Alfre Woodard. She is also an actress, and after a hiatus of more than 8 years, she has recently been featured in a Walter Mosely play staged on the East Coast. Source

New Day, New 'do!...India Arie

It is a new season, and Ms. Arie was ready for a change! The Soul Bird singer has chopped her locs in the past, and I think she can carry this close cut...what do you think? Would you do it? Have you done it?

Last week she filmed a new video like this:

#bts #justdoyouvideoshoot I had a blast shooting this video,
