On the Red Carpet of 'Precious' Tight Hair Rules



slickback-hair-essence.jpg

The premiere of the movie "Precious" had more than Oscar buzz going on--there were style statements. I must say, your friendly Beauty Director loved, loved, loved the tight, ultra-chic dos worn by Paula Patton, Mo'Nique and Mary J. Blige. Their "close heads," as I've now begun to call them looked so modern and effortless.

It's moments like these that spell change. Right now "big hair," says "you're trying too hard," and I say why? Whether you work a cool crop like Mary or sweep your hair back or off to the side--no matter the length--keeping your look simply glammed and polished says it all. Believe me, it's better than making the big stretch or trying to pull something off that takes you out of your comfort zone for a "one nighter." 

Here is a great takeaway: As we enter the holiday season, let's not over think it. A big night out, does not call for big hair. What it does call for is for you to have a great time and a chic do. Close or tight looks put your beauty in the spotlight. I say go for it.--Mikki Taylor

What is the deal with all the negative comments?? Monique is fabulous and she always looks good!! A pig.....really?? Why do we as black women try to tear each other down, why can't we just congratulate and truly be happy for one another. Monique is beautiful inside and out. Stop hating on her b/c she has good self esteem and knows her worth and you probably don't!! Didnt your mother ever teach you, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all???? If not let me be momma for you...."IF YOU DON'T HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!! Love you Monique, keep being you honey!!!!!!

 

She has a very pretty face the weight lost really shows keep the good work and dish on how you did it

 

Why the nasty comments toward MoNique?
If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.

 

I just want to say that Monique is Fine as always.I wish that I was as confident in my being as she is.You are such a role model for all women-Old and Young!!! Thank you for being who you are!!!!!

 

I cannot Monique's personality. It make her look piggier. Sorry Monique.

 

Monique resembles a PIG, sorry for sounding so harsh.
