GLAM OR GROSS? Toni Braxton’s New Wig

HelloBeautifulStaff — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:09:01 +0000

Toni Braxton is a lot like Tyra Banks – every time you see her, she’s got a different hairstyle! That’s the beauty of weaves and wigs – you can reinvent your look whenever you’re in the mood for a change. But I’m not so sure about this new look Miss Toni’s rockin – I know everyone’s going for the Barbie look these days, but it seems kind of corny to me. I think I prefer Toni’s shorter styles, but maybe that’s just my own opinion. Pretty dress, though!

Check out some more pictures of her at the 9th Annual Lupus L.A. Orange Ball, and tell me what you think of her new ‘do.

Do You Have A “Safe” Hairstyle?

HelloBeautifulStaff — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:22:56 +0000

With all the recent hoopla about Cassie’s recent shave, I got to thinking about hair in general and what dramatic effects hair has on how we are perceived by society. I never colored my hair or cut it too much. The most I ever did was cut bangs and get a black rinse. This might be a naive fear of mine, but I have heard too many stories about people doing drastic things to their hair, only to wish later that they had just left it alone.

The other day, I watched an episode of “The Game” that hit close to home. The main character, Melanie, was taking care of a patient who wore lots of wigs to constantly change her look. This patient said to Melanie that she immediately categorized her as soon as she saw her because of her hair. She had the classic side-part under.

Most girls I know sport that typical hair ‘do. But the patient accused Melanie of playing it safe. Her hairstyle screamed “Don’t look at me.” It’s a hairstyle that won’t draw any unnecessary attention to herself.

What do you think? Are you guilty of wearing the side part under because you’re afraid to be noticed?

Check out the breakdown in this clip below. Start it at around 2:10.

Cassie’s New Look Isn’t A Looker!

Cassie has clearly fallen and bumped her head! The new ‘do sounds like a whimpering dog’s cry for attention. No one was checking for the poor girl on Bad Boy and it’s a wonder what designer will now. Check out Cassie at Club Promenade this weekend rocking her “interesting” look.

So, maybe it’s because Cassie‘s super cute and doesn’t have a lumpy head, but I think this haircut looks great on her. Of course it’s some kind of attention call, obviously, but that’s okay. She took a risk and pulled it off a lot better than a lot of other people could. But I’m sure she’s still going to hear tons of crap for it…
