Ever since I did the big chop (cut off all my relaxed hair) it’s like I have hair care product tunnel vision. I’m only looking out for products to cleanse, condition, treat and style my kinky, dry curls. Whenever a brand pitches me a product my first question is “do you see my hair?” Sometimes [...]
Fashion Week is upon. No. Seriously. It’s like this week. First it’s FNO (see our FNO rundown here) and then…BOOM, full on #NYFW. But before nonstop shows, breakneck speed note-taking on my iPad, impossible deadlines, and everything in between, I make time to properly prep and get my booty, I mean, beauty in shape for [...]
If you regularly apply heat to hair (via blow dryer, styling irons, hot rollers, curling irons, etc), “protection” is a big deal. It’s the difference between smooth, healthy strands/ends and crunchy, fried, anything-but-cute hair. So how do you protect your hair during heat styling? I try to limit heat styling to about once per week [...]

I am starting a new column on ThisThatBeauty, lets call her “Fridays with Felicia“. Do you know why I started ThisThatBeauty nearly two years ago? Well the stock response has always been that I had this intense urge to purge the style/beauty ramblings and insights taking up residence in my head. This response, while still [...]
Somewhere around 1989 I abandoned the pre-shampoo treatment concept. Bye-bye V05 Hot Oil Treatment. But like all things 80′s it’s baaaaack! And just like certain things from the 80′s that never really left (Egad, like your auntie who still wears heavily contoured blush)….if you google the term “pre-poo” (which is short for “pre-shampoo”), you will [...]
Hey ladies – It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The intoxicating aromatic blend of turkey, sage, and giblet stuffing is upon us. I’ll be whipping up Sweet Potato pies before I know it (Note to self: Call my big bro for the recipe!) Immediately following Thanksgiving, the official Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Kwanzaa, etc. [...]
I cant wait to check out (HINT – would love a premiere invite:)) Chris Rock’s highly anticipated documentary, Good Hair. The movie explores the world of black haircare and the concept of “good hair”.
