Brazil fashion show’s ‘Afro hair’ sparks criticism

A Brazilian fashion designer has caused controversy during Sao Paulo Fashion Week with a show in which models wore wigs made of steel wool inspired by afro hair.

The issue of racism on Brazilian catwalks is not new. In 2009, Brazilian prosecutors and the organisers of Sao Paulo Fashion Week reached a deal over claims that too few black and mixed-race models were taking part.

The ‘afro’ wigs were created by Ronaldo Fraga, in partnership with make-up artist Marcos Costa, for the presentation of Fraga’s spring-summer 2013-2014 collection.

Costa has defended the ‘afro’ design on Facebook:

“We wanted to show the beauty of Afro hair and how it can be sculpted. It was a way to subvert a prejudice rooted in Brazilian culture. Why do black people need to straighten their hair? They are beautiful.”

What are your thoughts?

Nicki Minaj Shows Her Natural Hair (PHOTOS)

To all Nicki Minaj fans she has given us another insight into her natural hair. As we know Nicki has constant wig changes  Some which look nice and some which are straight horrendous!  Back in October 2012 Nicki Minaj showed us her long natural tresses and we were impressed.

Nicki Minaj recently has toned things down by showing a more natural side, and it’s very rare that fans get to see the real Nicki , but she is letting us closer and closer.

Nicki’s Long Natural Hair

Nicki Minaj tweeted out the photo with hashtags that read: #LongHairDontCare #HangTime #ImaWearItOutWhenItTouchesMyASS.”

We’ll be waiting for the day she decides to ditch the wigs all together and rocks her natural style.

Mid Week Wash Day

I LOVE washing my hair.
It’s one of the things I’ve grown to adore and look forward to whilst being a natural.
I wash my hair for any and every reason nowadays lol … Be it a bad day at work or can’t be bothered to comb out my braid out.

The weekday washes are the best!
I feel like such a rebel because washing your hair on any day that is not Saturday or Sunday for a black girl/woman is a stigmatised taboo.
It is not something most people do, whether they are natural or relaxed, wear weaves or braids.

I am so happy that personally I have got to a stage where I am comfortable with my hair that I can do what I want, when I want, wherever I want.

That liberating feeling is one I never want to lose.

When’s your wash day ? Do u stick to just the weekend or do u rebel and do weekday washes like me
Let me know ..

An update from Sonia x

Hi guys,
Sorry for bring rubbish at blogging but it’s time to start this up again with tips and what I have been up to.
With regards to my hair I have been switching my styles up. Products wise I am using Treasured Tresses products cough cough (shameless plug).

I also had my hair cut at a salon called ‘CoxMcMillan’ in Battersea. The experience was good apart from the products they used in my hair, oh what a disaster! but I love the cut. I needed a trim not because of health but due to the fact I got scissor happy!! (Next time someone needs to tell me to put the scissors down lol).

In the last two weeks, I also purchased some Curlformers. I love the results I got through using Curlformers!! What do you think?

It’s my parent’s wedding tomorrow and I am looking to use them again tonight.

I have also had a dermaroller treatment at Proskin in Kensington with a lovely lady called Bhumika. As a mum of two I have stretchmarks and I am continuously looking for ways to make them look better. The treatment was not painful as I used Emla cream (anesthetic). But trust me on the areas where I did not put the cream on it was very uncomfortable! I have another appointment in 4 weeks, so hopefully I will see results. I will be posting before and after pics when I have had my 3 sessions.

That’s my update guys and I promise to check in much more often.

Ps. Next time I’ll tell you about my fitness challenge. .
