We are all about Kandi’s trendy ways—and as for her ruby-red hue, we’re officially obsessed. “[My hair] is bright red at the top and dark around the sides and back,” shares Kandi. As for the style, “We decided to go shorter on the sides and longer in the back and on top,” reveals Kandi’s hairstylist Paula Britt. “I point cut her hair at a 90-degree angle to make it really choppy. This creates a shingle effect and makes the hair appear softer and more textured.”

Celebrity fashion stylist Kwamé Waters (pictured with Kandi on her SBH shoot at right) dressed the star head to toe, all while keeping her vibrant red haircolor in mind. “I always try to find clothing that complements Kandi’s haircolor and doesn’t clash with it,” he says. And that purple dress? “It was perfect,” admits Waters.

Celebrity makeup artist Latasha Wright (pictured crafting the star’s makeup look at right) is the genius behind Kandi’s gorgeous smokey eyes and light lips. “If I’m dramatic with the eye, I’m going to be a little more nude and natural with the lip,” admits Wright. “Kandi’s wearing Bobbi Brown lip gloss in a shade of pink.”

    Hi Kandi, I love your new long hair look on this season. Wanted to know the length, and type of hair. Also the curly, wavy look is it just curled like that or is it the type of hair you have? Thanks

    • Johan says:

      Been there too! My last cut was with smooene new and I actually had to stop her from cutting my bangs shorter. Even after we’d “agreed” on a length, she still wanted to pursue her own direction!

  2. Felicia says:

    HI Kandi I just turn forty in July I really like your sexy short hair cut, so am thinking about cutting mine but am a little scared it,s hard to find a really good hair stylist here in Grand Rapids, MI.

  3. latrena brothers says:

    • Meng says:

      it’s the uielgst he’s ever seen my hair. Thank goodness for the veil! Lynette, you’re so right about the importance of listening. For some people, it comes easy. For others, it’s impossible. It takes focus, lots of it, because why have a conversation with someone unless you’re going to listen to them. Great post!

    • Elsa says:

      (3 cmnoemts)It is always nice to see every girl that has good way of carrying herself in front of many people and the most important here is the way she carries herself with the hair she possess. we all know that hair is always been the crown of every girl, and this would be so much important to have proper care.
