News + Styles

“Wake up at 5a, meditate, workout, go to work, eat clean, read, yoga, check in with family, fall asleep” and repeat. Day in + day out, you’re striving to stay on track without dropping the ball to life’s juggling game.

Ever get tired of having to cross product collections just to achieve your go-to hairstyle? Mixing five different scents, leaving it up to chance whether the varying lines will mix well or not can be frustrating!

Self-love is one of the driving motives behind embracing natural hair, and we are completely here for it! However, often times, when natural hair is discussed, loose curls and kinks are highlighted, but locs tend to be forgotten about. No, we aren't referring to faux or goddess locs, though they make some pretty fabulous protective styles. We are talking about authentic locs!

Do these winter months have you searching for ways to keep your hair moisturized? The lovely Tamara Floyd, of Natural Hair Rules is here to help lay out a few essential steps in just how to do so!

Let’s be honest, the first thing naturals think about when participating in anything festive is “What am I going to do with my hair?!” This year we are not pulling out the wigs, our natural hair can be the highlight of our creativity and should be celebrated with low maintenance!

Is anyone else ready for vacation? Whether you’re traveling far or just planning for local day-trip outings this summer, chances are, you’re looking for some cute summer hairstyles to help you switch it up for the occasion. We’re here to help bring you some inspiration!

Who says summer bodies are made in the winter? You can still jumpstart your way to #summertimefine!

Just like there are (no, okay maybe a few) get rich schemes, there’s some work involved with achieving healthy hair status.

When you see a beautiful, smart, brown girl rocking her unique natural hair, what comes to mind? Most people would admire the craftsmanship and wonder, “How did her Mommy create that style?” Right?

It’s 2018. We know America’s beauty standards are complete B.S. We know women were pressured by male hair-removal industries to start shaving their armpits. We know that there’s a pink tax that makes female beauty products cost more but have less product.

We did it again! ANOTHER new collection, and this Hibiscus and Honey-infused combo is perfect for spring!

Spring is here! It's time to clean!

If you're looking to neaten up your place and maximize your space this year, check out some of the organization tips we have for you below.

 

Tall rolling racks can be purchased for fairly low prices at an array of stores. They’re perfect if you have a surplus of clothes that need to be hung, but just won’t fit on the racks already in your closet.  You can roll them right into your closet, or anywhere you may have some extra room. If you’re still struggling to make enough room for your entire wardrobe, extra thin hangers are a big help as well! Many stores carry extra thin hangers that stack without bulk. They can also help you fit more of your clothing into your closet than the average hanger.

 

If you’re really into making your closet look neat, try color coding your clothes.  Organize them in whatever order you like best, or you could even try doing it according to the order of the traditional rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. Blacks and whites can be worked in wherever you see fit.

 

Storage drawers are also life savers! Whether they be the plastic file-cabinet-style with three shelves, or even wicker baskets, they can help save you space, and keep your place looking more organized. The same goes for shoe racks (over the door are best to save floor space).

 

When it comes to storing your clothes in the drawers you already have, try rolling them up instead of folding them. Rolling allows you to pack more items into a drawer, but without the worry of wrinkles.
