Melanie Fiona
The music industry is nothing new to music star Melanie Fiona who has written music for other artists and for films. She recently belted out her own set of songs on her debut CD, The Bridge (Title 9/SRC/Universal Motown). Here, the soulful songstress chats with Sophisticate’s Black Hair about her fierce mane…
“I’ve been leaving my hair long and I like it. I used to have bangs, but I’m growing them out, so it’s all just long layers. I don’t wear extensions—it’s all my hair!”
“I’ve actually stopped straightening my hair, so I’m wearing it naturally curly these days. It’s a messy kind of ‘beach wave.’”
“I don’t like a lot of product in my hair, but I usually use a mild leave-in conditioner and also a hair oil.”
“My natural color is a really dark brown, but in the sun it has a red tint. Most times I do dye my hair black because I like the way it looks.”

You have really nice hair. I do wish that there were some unprofessional pictures of you up because that would be a lot more reassuring that those locks are yours. Everyone does have different hair types so ethnicity and family background isn’t necessary. But you do have very nice hair… but i do believe the fact that it is not only taken care of by yourself and professionals too, says plenty about why its so nice. Right now i am having so many problems with my hair… an i am learning how to take care of it, so it’ll be okay in no time.

Us, too, Roneq’ua! We love Ms. Cole’s fabulous mane moves and can’t wait to see what she has in store for us with her next projects rolls out…
I love melanie fiona’s hair & I want to know what kind of weave I can buy to get that look?
Hi Lil’Bit: Melanie Fiona’s lush, long locks are naturally curly and she often tints her tresses a shade of black. To replicate the singer’s look, try a human hair weave in a wavy texture. Melanie also wears her hair straight on occasion, so if you want a more versatile look, opt for a straight style. You can always get the “beach-inspired” curls by styling your hair with a barrel curling iron.
I would like to see Janet Jackson featured with her new short hairdo. It’s nice to see more black women rock their own hair. My hair is short like “Ms Jackson” and I would like to know what her new hairdo products and tips are.
You’re right, Debora : short is so chic! Thanks for the suggestion and look to a future issue of SBH for more info on Ms. Jackson’s fabulous cut!
I am so interested in the Gabrielle Union’s new short razor cut. I am letting my hair grow back long and having a horrible time with patience. The nape and sides have grown out, my hair gets thicker as it gets longer and I am very frustrated. I would like to rock Gabrielle’s style but I don’t go to a hair salon because I’m a cosmetologist. How do I razor my own do? Specifically, the middle back?
We’re checking on an answer for you Kit…
HiKit: Here’s the answer to your question courtesy of celebrity hair pro Kim Kimble: “So many of us, including myself, are guilty of cutting, coloring and experimenting with our own hair. We sometimes feel that we are the ones that know our hair better than anyone. However, when it comes to using a razor, I have to say that this is something you need a fellow hairdresser to do. The risks of cutting yourself with the razor are far too great. Even with a razor guard, you will not have the control or accuracy needed to razor cut your hair. Please consider a salon professional if this is a look you want.”
I love Keri’s house
I meant her hair I love her hair
Hi peacy2: We knew that!

Which is best for thining hair ? BRAIDS, WEAVE, WIGS…. ? low budget, get up in go person….?
Hi Tanya: Sounds you’re a low-maintenance kind of chick! From the 3 choices you’re considering, a wig would be your best option. Buy the best wig you can afford and don’t forget to take care of your own hair underneath.
