DARICO JACKSON
For celebrity hairstylist DaRico Jackson, his career working with the finest brothers and sisters in Hollywood began with a trip to Los Angeles in December 2002. Since then, Jackson has coiffed some of the hottest celebrities around.
ON HOW HE GOT HIS START: “I flew to L.A. and did the Nestlé Crunch with Caramel commercial with Shaquille O’Neal. I also visited Elgin Charles Salon in Beverly Hills, and they gave me an interview on the spot and asked when I was moving to Los Angeles.”
ON HIS BOOK RELEASE: “In addition to the book, I’ve also filmed a documentary. It’s a video commentary with these ladies talking about what it means to be a Black woman with their hair and in their industries.”
ON BEING AN EDUCATOR: ‘I design looks for the stage and build a curriculum around the haircuts so we can teach 100 to 165 techs.”
Jackson poses for the camera with Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse star Tasha Smith.

I’ve lost my hair in the crown of my head.I used bonding glue and I lost hair where the tracks were.It’s been 6 years and my hair have not grown back. I’ve gone to a dermatologist who suggest I stop perming my hair and start using rogaine.It’s been 6 months since my last perm.I wash my hair once a week and I warm comb my hair. I have not started the rogaine; I understand I’ll have to use it indefinitly. I’m only 33 and I enjoy outdoor sports, and I’am uncomfortable swimming. Can you please give me some good advice. I’am in desperate need of help. Thanking you in advance.
Hi Lashunda It sounds like you’ve been taking all the right steps to help your hair situation and have been receiving advice from the pros. If you don’t feel comfortable taking professional advice given to you then perhaps you may need to seek out a second opinion regarding your problem. Weigh your options then select the one you feel is best for your particular concern. Good luck.
Hey SBH,
Last year, I added extensions to my relaxed hair. Unfortunately, when I removed them I realized my hair was signficantly thinner and had a spot of short, damaged hair where the extensions seemed to have caused tension. What is your advice for remedying this situation? Products? Services? My goal is thick, shiny, shoulder length hair.
Hi Lanica…We can’t say this often enough: Enjoy your weaves and extensions but please don’t forget to care for your hair underneath. You’ll need the expertise of a professional stylist to help you back on your way to healthy hair so make that appointment now! In the meantime, give your coif TLC with regular conditioning treatments and check out the wonderful hair care tips found in each issue of SBH. We think you’ll especially find info our “Hair Advice” column helpful. Best of luck.

my hair is color treated on the ends any major tips to help maintain hair health to keep from having to make a big chop due to frizzy ends??
Hey Mateeba: You’ve got to keep your ends well conditioned and treat them with a lot of TLC…that means easing up on the heat exposure during heat styling and applying a leave-in conditioner to help keep ends well moisturized.
Hi i have a slender face, an my hair is down my back alost midway down.I am lite skinned and have had black hair in the past. So later on the years the ends going to da top of my head is like a dark honey blonde.I dont know why ,but im thinking of a color that I would like to try with my hair.Im not looking for a permanent haircolor just temporary and not dry my hair.any suggestions on what color to try?
Hi Kressy: Haircolor is a fabulous way to refresh your style stance this season. Experiment with clip-on extensions to see how highlights work for ya! Don’t stray more than 1-2 levels beyond your mane’s original hue if a natural effect is your thing. For a bolder look, go with a contrasting lighter or darker hue. Check out “The 2010 Trends Forecast” in the March/April issue of SBH for the latest in hot mane styles and color. Enjoy!
My hair is natural and when I wash my hair I usually blow dry and when I wake up in the morning I flat iron my bangs. It’s been a few months and my bangs have begun to get thin so I now put my bangs to the side. What are some ways to stop my hair from thinning?
Hey Lushaunda: Give your bangs a rest from heat styling! It sounds as if they’re a little stressed from all flat ironing. A trim couldn’t hurt either–since ends may be a bit frayed.
