Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Every day us girls are bombarded with images of women with small waists, shapely derrieres, beat faces and down-to-there hair. Companies promise that teas, waist trainers or a pill can create this look for each and every one of us. Yet, when it comes to hair growth what is that we really need to help us to attain results? We have the key, read on to learn how to grow hair faster.

Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

If you were to poll a group of open and honest girls you may find nutrition to be towards the bottom of the how to grow hair faster list. Not because it does not work, but since there’s so many things that can place the spotlight elsewhere. There’s shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, hair oils, hair masks, deep treatments, vitamins and the list goes on and on.

However, consuming the right foods should never be overlooked. Why would having the right diet help a lady grow hair faster? It really boils down to three things:

nutrients
revitalization
essential oils

While product may give your hair great results, there is nothing like working from the inside out. Think about it, to run properly your body needs good foods in general. Your strands are not any different. The overall health of your hair depends on the type of nourishment you supply it. Therefore, if your hair is shedding, dull or very weak you may need to take a closer look at your diet. The right diet will ensure that your hair is receiving all of what’s listed above so that longer hair will definitely be in your prospects.

Grow Hair Faster

So what type of foods should one eat and why? To grow hair faster hair experts the world over swear by a diet rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Some examples of this include:

Lean Fish
Beans
Leafy Vegetables
Chicken
Seeds
Eggs

Eating these foods are helpful because hair is basically made up of protein. As a result, tresses in turn need protein in order to remain healthy and shiny. Hair growth can only be promoted when strands receive all the sustenance and provisions they need to grow.

Moreover, getting enough protein affects the construction of hair and revitalizes it. This means you will make your hair stronger and refresh it so that it is all set and ready to grow longer. Eating right in a way lays the foundation and groundwork for longer, silkier and healthier hair in the future.

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 19, 2016November 19, 2016Leave a Comment

Designer Marc Jacobs’ Marc Beauty has been steadily releasing one makeup gem after another. In the age of lash extensions and faux lashes, at times good old mascara can get lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless, the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is helping to bring sexy back…in the form of a gorgeous full, natural lash line.

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

On its own the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is a great product. However, when you layer it that is when the real magic happens! Nonetheless, why should a lady layer mascara?

Layering allows the mascara wearer to achieve a stronger look as well as durability. For instance, if you first apply a regular formula then layer waterproof mascara on top your overall look will last longer. Moreover, by layering lengthening and volumizing formulas you get thicker, longer looking lashes. Cool huh?

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara

Layering is actually something the Marc Jacobs brand fully supports and encourages. Marc Beauty sells two great products to get the job done. Velvet Noir and O! Mega Lash.

Recently, MB explained the best way to layer the fab mascaras. The brand revealed, “Layer up on lashes. First, use O! Mega Lash for separated long lashes and then layer with Velvet Noir for added drama and epic volume.” Simple enough. Have fun in those mirrors ladies and don’t forget you can always layer formulas to get an amazing lash look naturally.

Moreover, who doesn’t like something specially tailored for them? Jacobs is filling in the gabs by allowing wearers to look great and infuse their look with quite of bit of fun. By the look of things Jacobs is definitely not missing the Marc on this one (wink, wink).

Come stop by 113 Prince Street, NYC or 8400 Melrose Place, LA between 6-9PM and customize pieces from our Resort ’17 collection.”

Karrueche showed off her cute denim jacket with the caption, “Designed by own Marc Jacobs Denim today.” Tran’s jacket included lettered patchwork of her initials, hearts and checkered stars.

Arianne Suggs November 15, 2016November 15, 2016Leave a Comment

On a yearly basis black girls spend millions of dollars on hair care and related products. Hair is a lucrative industry that is quite “untapped” when it comes to black female entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, in recent years there has been a real push and emergence of boss ladies who are helping to change the scene for good. Therefore, today meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine, the hair industry’s natural sensation!

Meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine – Hair Industry’s Natural Sensation

Here are a few quick facts on Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine Hair Care line. Her products use natural ingredients and are available in the States as well as Canada. She sales a very impressive variety of products including shampoo, conditioner, heat protector, deep conditioning hair mask, overnight hair treatment and much, much more.

You can purchase Briogeo products by going here. Also, feel free to head to your local mall because Briogeo is sold at Sephora too! Thanks to hair pioneers like Nancy it is becoming easier to get great products without harmful ingredients.

Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine

Nancy would like everyone to know more about her and her awesome hair products. Here is what she had to say:

“Hi guys! I’m Nancy Twine, the founder and CEO of Briogeo Hair Care. I’ve been lucky to have met a handful of Briogeo fans during events and visits to many of the stores that carry our brand. But the truth of the matter is, most of you don’t know who I am and I’m hoping to fix that.

I’m a pretty behind-the-scenes type od person and have been so focused on the backstage elements of the brand. Like with our team of chemists to create awesome new formulas we hope you fall in love with or helping to support our small team of 4 kickass women in our NYC office. But despite all of that, I think its super important that I get to know you and you get to know me.

I’ll be sprinkling some behind-the-scenes love on our IG page more often so you can get a firsthand glimpse into what goes into creating and building a beauty brand. Also, the unfiltered realness of what it’s like to be a 30-something-year old running a business in NYC. Wherever this journey leads I’m excited to share it with you. Nice to meet you. 🙂 xx, Nancy.”

The Last Word

Seeing women like Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine excites us about future possibilities. We hope stories like this will encourage more black girls to help take back the hair industry. We set trends, pay TONS for hair products and yet do not own many hair companies or beauty supply stores.

Let’s put an end to this business trend and start getting a piece of the pie that we are helping to make on a daily business. Its our hair, our money and we should be apart of the success as well. Thank you Nancy Twine for your tireless efforts and example showing us all that it can be done and done well! Go girl!

Relieving Period Cramps Part One – How to Ache Less ASAP

You know they say actions speak louder than words. Of course, a few words of comfort may be nice, but there is nothing like taking action and kicking some serous PMS butt. The first and most natural option that occurs to all of us is to get in bed and cuddle up to a pillow. Rest can be appealing but it is actually movement that will give you relief.

Exercise is one of the best things you can engage in to make your cramps go buh-bye. Do not think you need to do an intense gym session to receive benefits. Any activity like walking can help your body pump more blood, which is what you want.

Aerobic exercise also helps to minimize belly pain through the release of endorphins. These feel-good friendlies react with the brain to decrease the pain threshold. So then, as you work out you will be happier and reduce your cramps at the same time.

Are you usually prone to experiencing painful period cramps? If so, experts recommend aiming to exercise about three or four times a week. Not only will doing so improve your health but you will also bring period cramps to a lower extent and degree.

Athleisure style is athletic wear that you can lounge around in and still look great. Pieces resemble what you may wear while going, during as well as after the gym. Its relaxed, comfortable and by all accounts simply super cute.
