Estelle

Estelle

All Of Me singer Estelle made her debut in the US stealing the limelight with rapper Kanye West on her hit song “American Boy,” but this British-born singer/songwriter continues to take center stage with her on-point short snip and fierce fashion. Here, Estelle tells SBH about her beautiful crops…

Estelle

“I get bored with my hair so I don’t know how I’ve maintained a short cut for so long.”

“My hair grows back so quick, I could have had it down to my shoulders if I’d really been concentrating on growing it, but I like the short cut—I think it’s sexy.”

Estelle

“I love hair! I used to do it a lot when I was younger because I had little sisters and they all had different styles.”

“I believe we all give off a different vibe when our hair is styled a certain way. Women are lucky to have that!”

    My hair is all dis color I try to die my gary hair black and it did not take. I try dark and lovely but it did not work so what is good die for my hair ?

    • SBH says:

      Hi Magnolia: When platinum strands become plentiful, going back to your natural haircolor must be done in stages. Start with a lighter brown and eventually blend into a darker shade.

  5. janelle says:

    What are some great makeup products for darker skin??

    • SBH says:

      Hi Janelle: Have you picked up your copy of the February 2011 issue of SBH. We think you’ll love the “Star Makeup” feature, where celeb makeup pro Derrick Rutledge gives the inside scoop on some of his fabulous clients like Mo’Nique and Oprah! You can also find inspiration in the hundreds of model photos featured throughout this issue.
