Beauty Muse – Nathalie Emmanuel

The Game of Thrones star – Nathalie Emmanuel is a Beauty Muse, and she knows it. I love everything about this pretty woman’s features. Her afro hair is hair goals!

Nathalie Emmanuel known as Missandei in Game of Thrones is the real deal. Her natural beauty glows. I have always been curious to know more about this beauty muse. So I was happy to find an interview she granted a while ago, where she spoke about her life, career and hair.

On her Afro

 “I think my hair is the first thing people recognize me for,” she says of her goddess-like afro, “and I’m happy about that.

I think we’ve all gotten so used to women straightening and changing their natural hair.” 

“I think a lot of women with textured hair go through that same journey.

Where they want to chemically straighten their hair. 

And that’s fine if that’s what makes you happy, but I think many women feel trapped by it.”

 

I love the fact that Nathalie still rocks her natural hair. My hair is back to natural now, and I have fallen completely in love with. I am also learning to care for it. I wrote about my transition to natural hair, so you can play catch up if you like to know more about my journey. Going natural is the best thing I have ever done for my hair.

I can see why many prefer to have their hair texturised. Wearing your hair natural is a lot of work. Maintaining a natural hair takes commitment, time and money, and many can’t afford these. So I get it, but seeing a women rock her natural hair like Boss still makes me very excited. I am happy to know my daughter would grow up to see beautiful black women around her and on Television, rocking their natural afro hair.

I Like to Wig

March 3, 2017 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 15 Comments

I have always wondered what the issue was with people and wigs. There seems to be this idealogy that wigs are meant for only those who are suffering from a hair loss, and elderly people, and should not be a beauty item, but I strongly disagree.

Growing up, I was never a fan of wigs. They all looked similar and looked like WIGS, and I found them very unattractive. But nowadays, with the new generation wigs, I have fallen madly in love with them, and I have been a devout wearer for many years now. I have a lovely lady who makes majority of my wigs, and she is the real deal. I also got a few from some fabulous retailers.

The last time I had a weave (hair extensions attached to my hair) on was January 2016, and I have not missed them. Since I gave up using chemicals on my hair and having weaves installed, my hair has been in the best shape ever. It is healthy and growing like weed!

I gave up on wearing weaves because I needed my natural hair to breath, it was badly damaged and the only way I could give my hair the attention it was badly in need of, was to not have hair extensions attached to it.

The joy of wearing wigs is the ability to yank it off whenever I need to, or not to have it on if I don’t need/want to; it is also one of the best feelings in the world to sleep weave/wig free. For someone who has a very itchy scalp (anyone who knows me well enough can testify to this, and no, I don’t have dandruff or head lice, just a natural itchy scalp for whatever reason), wearing a wig means I don’t have to deal with the itch half as much as I used to when I had weaves on.

Wearing wigs also means I can change my look as often as I like. I have a few wigs in my collection, and I am looking to getting a few more in other styles this year.

Many people struggle to understand why any woman with good hair on her head would want to wear wigs instead. I see it in a different way. Wigs give me the opportunity to switch up my look, from the comfort of my home, whenever I feel like it. Wigs allow me sleep free and be free. Wigs allow me take care of my natural hair (this is a big one for me) the way it needs me to. And once my natural hair gets to the length I want it to, I can see myself wearing less of wigs, but for now, I am loving them.

Tangle Teezer Hairbrush Image

I had the privilege of trying the Tangle Teezer Detangling Hairbrush for thick, wavy and afro hair, some days ago, and I am well impressed. For those who do not know, Tangle Teezer is a designed, manufactured and made in Britain brand, by celebrity colourist – Shaun Pulfrey, which makes it even cooler. I love seeing ‘Made in Britain’ brands because they are so few and far between these days, which I think is so sad. So I am very excited to review the Tangle Teezer Detangling Hairbrush for Thick, Wavy, Afro & Curly Hair.

This brand has succeeded in revolutionising the hairbrush market. Hairbrushes have never looked this good.

Tangle Teezer has a variety of hairbrushes available but I went for this Detangling Hairbrush because I have thick afro hair, and this fit the description of the perfect hairbrush for me.

Here is what Tangle Teezer has to say about the Detangling Hairbrush for Thick, Wavy & Afro Hair:

We love your big hair and so should you. That’s why we’ve created a detangling brush just for you. The Thick & Curly Detangling hairbrush is bursting with big hair love.

With its longer, stronger Firmflex teeth technology that reach right through to your roots, it makes detangling and de-frizzing afro, curly and thick hair a wonderful and effortless thing.

Use on wet or dry hair for instant and painless detangling. Simply brush through from roots to ends. The Firmflex teeth will bend and flex just enough to cope with even the thickest and curliest of locks, smoothing the cuticle as they travel.

Here are my thoughts on this hairbrush:

PROS

  1. I love the packaging and the colour. So very pretty.
  2. It is compact and so easy to find in my handbag.
  3. It is perfect for my curly hair. It brushes out all the knots, detangles it quickly, with no pain, and it doesn’t rip my hair out.
  4. It works perfectly on both wet and dry hair.
  5. The entire Tangle Teezer collection is easily accesible in many stores including Boots and Amazon for £10.99.

CONS

None.

I honestly cannot fault this Tangle Teezer Detangling Hairbrush at all. I love it. I think it is super cute, and it performs brillantly! No wonder the likes of Victoria Beckham, Cara Delevingne, and members of the Royal Family all use it.

I recommend this hairbrush to anyone with curly, wavy or kinky afro hair. It is worth every penny.
