Mane Moves: Teyonah Parris

Posted on January 28, 2013

No yaki, no problem! ’Mad Men’ actress Teyonah Parris hit her spot on the red carpet in a fitted one-shoulder purple Monique Lhuillier gown adorned with Ben Amun gems and funky yet sophisticated natural hair undo at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles last night.

Afrobella reached out to “natural hair whisperer” Felicia Leatherwood of the Loving Your Hair With Natural Care Workshop for an exclusive breakdown of the hairstyle:

“That’s a variation of a fold and tuck that I like to do – it’s a variation that worked for her and was red carpet ready. This is all her hair. I shampooed her hair with Dr. Miracle’s new cleanse and condition shampoo. After that I used LRC’s leave in and serum, then I blew her hair out – she was so amazed at how fast I blew her hair out! And then basically I used Hicks Edge Control, and then I used Entwine’s moisturizing, hydrating styling product, and then I sprayed it with LRC natural holding spray and cinched it with Fantasia IC mist – it finishes everything perfectly!”

Mane Moves: Kerry Washington’s Bouffant Ponytail

Posted on July 18, 2012

Make no mistakes about it, the weather outside this summer is hotter than two Faizon Love’s in a phone booth. You don’t want to find yourself pulling off your wig and tossing it in the passenger’s seat mid-commute to do hoodrat things. Speaking from experience here.

One way to avoid pulling a similar stunt is by sweeping your locks off your neck(s) and into a ponytail. Actress Kerry Washington completed her 60′s inspired look with a nostalgic bouffant ponytail for the ‘DJango Unchained’ press line at Comic-Con this week.

Would you rock the retro hairstyle? Check out a side profile of Kerry’s mane move below.
