STAR STYLE INSPIRATION
Starring on BET’s The Game, actress Tia Mowry wears her natural brunette haircolor.
TIP OF THE MOMENT
To add some dimension to her mane shade, Tia wears clip-in extensions. “I don’t color my hair at all,” she says. “That’s what I love about extensions—I don’t have to color my own hair. I just use hair extensions for some highlights.” Look for shades close to your own haircolor for the most natural-looking results.
Im trying to get highlights and my hair is black… i want to highlights but i dont know which color should i get??? I have long hair..
The stars such as Eve with the loud blonde colors inspired me to go to my natural color of silver/gray. When she changed her color I remain the same. There isn’t many women that are bold enough to wear the silver/gray but they are coming out more than before. I would like to see some in the magazine but I understand if I don’t. I love your magazine and I switch hairstyles with your books. Take care be bless and keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing, Laroan! We just published a great feature about silver strands in the Dec/Jan issue of SBH called “Is Platinum Your Thing?” Look for more silver shades in upcoming issues of SBH!

We agree! No matter which haircolor Rihanna’s wearing, she looks amazing. Have you seen her in the SBH November issue? You’ll find her in the “Autumn Style Forecast.”

Hi Sade: Check out the November issue of SBH (the one with Mary J. Blige on the cover!) and flip to the “Autumn Style Forecast.” There you’ll see a picture of Eva Marcille wearing a striking platinum blonde haircolor. Keep in mind, you may want to consult a salon pro when lifting your haircolor to make sure you maintain the health of your hair.
If you want to try a blonde shade or any shade. There are several websites where you can upload a photo and try different styles and colors. please wait until your black rinse is completely out of your hair before going blonde. Your hair will turn green.
I have always had “good” hair. It was thick, long, and smooth but after I was old enough to do my own hair it lost it’s length (at least 2 inches) and it’s moisture. Now, I am stuck with dry, frizzy, poufy hair. Every time I wash, blow-dry, and straighten it, it NEVER gets smooth. I’ve tried different conditioners, flat irons, sprays, and oils. Any tips on how to get my hair healthy again? I REALLY need it.
Celeb hair pro Anthony Cherry has an answer for you Kendra: You may have over-processed your hair. Too much of anything does nothing good. Let a salon professional take over your styling routine for at least three months to help your hair get back to a healthy state. Don’t forget to ask questions so you know how to properly maintain your mane at home! f
there was a 2009 issue of SBH with an article all about Rihanna she had i believe blonde hair or highlights and i was wondering how i could get that issue again? i’m curious because for future reference to my hairstylist i wanted to dye my hair similar to hers
Hi Leah: We do not have back issues. Best way to keep all of the special articles featured in SBH on hand? Subscribe and collect them!
What do I do about my edges, I have thin edges and there was time they were growing in good but then I started wearing weave caps and the glue pulled on my edges, so how do I get my edges back. Should I wear lace front wigs or what.
Hi Bree: We think you’ll like the article in the August issue (on stands now!) titled “Weave & Wig Basics.” Real sisters ask similar questions and receive answers from weave/wig experts. As for your edges, keep the hair line well moisturized. The hair needs to be supple and pliable so it may grow. Otherwise, brittle edges are prone to breakage.
I LOVE WILLOW’S HAIR STYLES WISH I COULD GO TO HER STYLIST
Hi Tia: Willow’s personal hairstylist is celebrity hair pro (and SBH friend!) Marcia Hamilton. Check out her website for more information: http://www.marciahamilton.com.
I am wearing my hair natural and have done so for 2 years but I have a very thin spot on one side and I need to know what you suggest for me to do or try on it to make it thick and full again
Hi Cherissa: Thinning hair can be the result of many factors, including stress, genetics and improper Wrapping. If you Wrap your hair, make sure to alternate the way you Wrap it each day so you’re not putting too much stress on your edges. If hair loss persists, you may want to consult your doctor.
