Chanel and Jourdan in January 2009 Vogue

Most of you have probably seen this spread already but I felt like posting them anyway. I know some of your are tired of seeing black modeldom's chosen ones in fashion magazine but I like the editorial and think both women look great. Chanel shows a bit more range of facial expression and Jourdan's mature gaze suggests that she's been doing this for ages even though her career only really began a year ago.

As far as American Vogue shoots go, this one is pretty typical. Lots of shots of surprised looking models levitating against gray backdrops and segregated by race. While it does stand out that this is the longest editorial featuring black models that I can recall seeing in eons, Vogue's placing it in the "Change! Yes You Can" issue immediately after a feature on The Obamas is a bit heavy handed in my opinion. If Anna Wintour and Co. had just thought to perforate theses pages they could have billed it as a special "black" pull-out section on the cover.

10 Simple Tips on How to Take Care of Color Treated Hair

Properly handling your color treated hair will result in healthy looking, manageable tresses. Each time you apply permanent or semi-permanent color, you subject your mane to a chemical process.

So follow these few simple steps, that will help you to restore a healthy shine and manageability hairstyle.

1. Trim your hair every four to six weeks to remove split ends and make your hair more manageable. A good haircut is the best foundation for the rest of the steps


2. Use a shampoo specially formulated for color treated hair, and if you must wash everyday, shampoo only once. When you shampoo, avoid tugging your hair, and wash gently. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of shampoo.

3. Use conditioner for color treated hair each time you shampoo, and apply a little extra to the ends. Rinse thoroughly. Removing all traces of shampoo and conditioner minimize any film that attracts dirt, hides hair's natural shine, and makes hair less manageable.


4. Apply a deep conditioner once a month

5. Blow dry your hair when it's almost dry. The more heat you apply, the more damange you inflict to the cuticle. Dry with your fingers instead of a brush until the very end of the drying process.

6. Use wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair with minimal breakage.

7. Avoid curling irons and hot rollers. Style your hair with a brush and blow dryer.


8. If you have long hair, use hair accessories instead of rubber bands.

9. Avoid chlorine, and when you do swim, wash the chlorine out of your hair immediately.


10. Use a temporary rinse in between colorings to extend the life of each permanent or semi-permanent color application.

Celebrity Big Haircut Styles

If you are run out of idea how to do with your high volume hair. It will never be the case now. High volume hair is never really disappears. It just keep on evolving.

Find out more on what celebrity haircut you can wear in the following section:-

Pump It Up
If you've got thick, wavy locks, go ahead and flaunt it! By growing it to well past the shoulder and having it snipped into layers, you can easily amp up the volume. Just blow-dry with your fingers, scrunching in natural texture as you diffuse-dry, or get the look with a hot roller set.

Celebrity Long Wavy Haircut

Swing Shift
You can pump up the volume without going over the top, get the look on long locks, set damp, gelled hair in Velcro rollers, using larger ones on top and smaller, vertically placed rollers at the bottom. When dry, brush hair to fullness, flipping ends up all around.

Celebrity Long Curly Haircut

Crown Heights
A full, rounded crown, short bangs and light dark brown color with burnt gold under layers give this look its oomph!! To do, simply apply volumizer and blow dry with a large round brush, lifting hair from the roots and styling the bottom close to the head.

Celebrity Short Bob Haircut

Bouffant Dream
Like the bouffant of the 60s, this look goes great heights. Unlike its predecessor, hairs does not need back-combing and spraying to achieve the right dimensions. Layers, volulmizer and blow drying with a round brush pump things up, to finish, simply mist with holding spray.

Zoe Saldana in D&G

The dress itself isn't my personal cup of tea but it is a fun look. Accessories are key here and I think Zoe's slicked back hair, earrings and black pumps kick it up a few notches. The confident pose doesn't hurt one bit either. I just don't get the pairing of this dress with gladiator sandals on model Jessica Stam. It makes the dress look like a middle school sewing class project.

The holidays are fast approaching and once again, I will be going to the land of no reliable Internet access so I probably won't be posting again for a short time. Please everyone be safe and enjoy yourselves this holiday season whether you celebrate them or not!

LIFE Photo Archive: Donyale Luna

I have been passing a lot of time searching for old images and articles on Google since they've expanded their search function to include vintage magazines like Ebony, Jet, and photo archives from magazines like Life. The index terms used aren't as robust as I would like but it is still a treat to pull up old articles and photos like these of model Donyale Luna in her prime. Man, she had a thing for Austin Powers type ruffles and money fur coats didn't she?
