How I Went Blonde as an Afro-Latina With Curly Hair
For the past three years or so, I’ve been on a quest to get the perfect honey highlights. I’ve been craving something lighter than a caramel but warmer than your typical blonde hue. But the art of finding the right blonde tone for my tan complexion hasn’t been an easy task. For starters, almost everyone has tried to discourage me from going lighter — from colorists to friends and even family. “You don’t need to color your hair. Your naturally dark hair perfectly complements your thick dark brows and long dark lashes,” my mom would say. “Going blonde will ruin your curls,” hair experts insisted. But my favorite was whenever…

Curly Hair Tips From a Professional Hairstylist
Waves are categorized by their loose S-shape and include those with 2A, 2B, and 2C hair. Some people may mistake wavy hair for straight without the proper hair-care routine. Here’s everything you need to know. How to Wash Wavy Hair When shampooing this hair type, it’s tempting to rake conditioner from root to tip, but the right way to do so is with the press-and-smooth strategy. Squeeze the conditioner from mid-shaft to ends, then run your fingers through to detangle. “The cuticle for curly hair isn’t a smooth cuticle, so you have to smooth it in yourself,” says Lebron.

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. While I’ve collected lingerie through the years and have my bra-and-panty sets color-coded in a drawer, truth be told, I don’t wear them often.
