Kerry Washington is always polished, poised and phenomenal!

She stood out on the red carpet, draped in a rose gold and silver sequined covered Vivienne Westwood gown to the 2012 Emmy Awards. There to present the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie award, Kerry was “award show” perfection from head-to-toe! The Fred Leighton jewels that dripped from ears complimented her hair that was softly pulled back into a simple knot.

Whether trying to achieve this style with natural hair that will be straightened with heat or relaxed hair, Hair Nourishing Cream is the product for you! Natural hair lovers can apply to hair after it has been shampooed and conditioned, blow dry with a paddle brush. Hair Nourishing Cream hydrates while acting as a heat protector. Relaxed hair lovers can apply a small amount daily to provide moisture and shine.

Style and go!

Thanks for the review Cheryl! http://thekashonnafiles.blogspot.com/2012/07/product-review-jane-carter-solution.html

Adorned in an embellished Badgley Mischka dress, Alexis Bittar earrings and a Jordan Alexander ring -Oprah graces the cover of the September 2012 cover of O Magazine…with her natural hair.

Oprah has graced the cover of every single issue of O Magazine, 144 issues, with straight tresses. She decided to share her hair journey over the years; the good, the bad and the acceptance of her natural texture that she now has. She says that wearing her hair naturally—as she often does on weekends and on vacation—makes her feel unencumbered.

Some are claiming that her natural look is more “styled” and less authentic, stating that it looks like a braid-out on slightly relaxed hair.
