Actress Naturi Naughton (born May 20, 1984) who is also a singer and formerly being one-third of the R&B trio 3LW showcased gorgeous and glam curls at the recent May 4th LA premiere of “Jumping the Broom” held at the ArchLight Cinemas.

Naugthon who is known for her starring role of Denise in the remake of Fame wears her tresses in an array of hairstyles, but doesn’t always showcase her natural curls like she did for her appearance at the recent LA premiere.

After a bitter breakup with 3LW Naughton has been pursuing acting roles as well as working on her own solo debut album which she recently said is not currently an active project.  Naughton has expressed a desire to focus totally on acting which she has said is her other passion.

In September 2009, Naturi scored her first solo chart entry as her version of “Fame” (from the 2009 movie Fame) entered the UK chart at #74 and rose to #43 in its second week. In its third week, the song jumped ten spots to #33, becoming Naughton’s first solo top 40 UK hit.

The single also peaked at no.48 on HOT dance play/songs,#3 in Finland,#4 in Portugal,#14 in Norway,#24 in Switzerland,#26 in Belgium and #37 in Ireland. (more…)

American Idol Jordin Spraks looks ravishing at the Nylon Magazine Annual Young Hollywood Party held at the Bardo Hollywood in Los Angeles on May 4th.

Not only did the beauty show off her sizzling new bikini worthy body, she wore her naturally curly tresses au natural with perfectly formed ringlets.

Sparks who posted a photo of herself in a bikini recently told AOL Music that she took the photo because she loved the bathing suit and it turned out so good she after having an internal battle about whether to post it or not, the singer did and the world could see that she’s lost approximately 30 pounds.

How did the naturally curly haired beauty lose the weight?  She told the media “Something just clicked with me back in December and I said, ‘You know what? Instead of just talking about being active, I’m just going to go do it.’ A lot of things happened like being active and making better choices, better portion control — nothing crazy. I made chicken alfredo last night for me and my friends, so it’s nothing crazy. But instead of having three servings, just eat slowly and go with the one and see if you’re still hungry after.”

She looks smokin.  It’s always nice to see her wear her hair with her natural curls since sometimes she straightens her stunning coils.

Major Innovations Of Hair Fashion Shows

The Hair Brasil Fashion Show stands among the major innovations of HAIR BRASIL 2011.  It is a reformulation of the Megashow, which year after year at the previous editions became a top attraction of the event. (more…)

As reported by JustJared.com, Easy A red haired actress Emma Stone was spotted Sunday, March13th in Los Angeles walking around the set of her new drama, The Help, with a head full of bouncy light blonde ringlets and curls.  Some on-set hairstylist was obviously busy with a curly iron.

The 22-year-old actress plays Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan in The Help, which centers around three women living in the South.  The three form an unlikely but deep friendship.

The actress is back in the States after spending time in France for Paris Fashion Week.

Emma sat in the front row for the Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear show, which actor Alex Pettyfer also attended. Their appearance together generated buzz that the two may be dating now that Pettyfer has parted ways with Glee’s beautiful blonde Dianna Agron.

They seemed very cozy and flirtatious at the Vuitton show which created speculation that Pettyfer is over Agron.  The actress, who is also set to appear as Mary Jane in Spiderman, rested her arm against his shoulder as they hung out together.

At least now we know why the gorgeous redhead went with a very blonde hue.  It’s for her part as Skeeter.  Also, the curls she was spotted with on set were created for her because her natural hair appears to be relatively straight with just a hint of wave.

Personally I like her best as a redhead, but as an actress she has to take on all types of hairstyles, colors and cuts for her craft.

There must be something in the celebrity water supply.  As reported by People Magazine, actress Katherine Heigl has followed the recent lead of Kate Winslet and Ashlee Simpson and had all of her hair cut off and bleached white white blonde.

Heigl was initially photographed while out in Los Angeles on Thursday.  She was also photographed out to dinner with her husband and her new cut was coiffed in an array of loose curls.

The big question is why did Katherine go to such a drastic short hairstyle?   Is it because of a new film role or is it because she likes the new short hair trend?  Or maybe it’s easier to take care of now that she’s busy being a mom.

Meanwhile supposedly Heigl and Modern Family cutie Sofia Vergara are supposedly not getting along on the set of New Year’s Eve.  According to STAR, insiders say there so much tension between the two start they are completely ignoring each other.

Word is that Katherine complains about “having to stand outside in the cold for long periods of time” and Sofia is supposedly fed up with it. (more…)

Tips For Cleansing Hair Upside Down

An ongoing debate in the world of  hair care involves the pros and cons of washing hair when bent over at the waist so the hair falls basically upside down.   In other words the very bottom layers of the hair is exposed to the water and cleansing formula while the top layer of the hair is only exposed through a trickled down effect.

Why would someone want to wash their hair upside down?  Some fans of this method believe when the cleansing products are applied to the bottom layers of the hair versus the top, there is less overall damage.

Afterall, the top layer of anyone’s hair receives the most consistent assault from sun, wind, environmental toxins, hot styling tools, brushing, combing and general styling methods.

Other critics of the Upside Down method believe the hassle of detangling hair which is washed upside down is not worth the benefits of protecting the top layers of the strands.   Others argue that since the top layers of the hair receive the most damage and potential dirt and toxins, those layers need the direct application of water and cleansing products.

Fans of the Upside Down Cleansing Method believe it would help preserve chemically colored, highlighted, low lighted or similarly treated strands.

Some types, textures and lengths of hair are more compatible with being cleansed upside down than others.  Hair which is stick straight, fine or thin or with only a little bit of wave and texture is less prone to major tangling than strands which are naturally curly, tightly waved, coiled or tightly textured.

If you wish to try cleansing your hair upside down follow the tips and techniques below: (more…)

Seasonal Hair Trends – Start With Healthy Hair

(NAPSA)—Whether you’re slicking your hair up or embracing your curls, this season’s trendiest looks start with healthy hair.

Itchy, flaky scalps are not confined to the colder months, and not caring for your scalp can cause hair to look less than lustrous.

Dandruff in summer can make this a yearlong problem.  Scalp sensitivities associated with dandruff can lead to increased scratching and touching of the scalp, which can damage delicate scalp skin and the hair cuticle, leaving hair dull and lifeless.

For healthier hair, celebrity stylist Ben Skervin suggests the following tips:

• Having a healthy scalp is especially important going into the warmer seasons like summer.  Use a conditioning shampoo with zinc pyrithione, like Head & Shoulders, to get your scalp ready.

• Start the season with your hair in its best condition by getting a haircut! Damaged hair with dead ends can leave you with unhealthy-looking hair.

• A great mini treatment for the beach is putting conditioner in your hair and leaving it in there.  Try Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky conditioner. Your hair will absolutely feel soft to the touch.

Although I had a strong feeling that Ashton Jones was doomed to be sent home in American Idol’s Season 10 first audience based elimination, I was sad to see her hair leave the stage.  Making it into the bottom three along with Karen Rodriquez and Haley Reinhart, Jones got the audience influenced boot.

While I agreed Jones didn’t do Diana Ross’ “When You Tell Me That You Love Me” justice, I loved her big beautiful bouncy curls.  She was a diva-in-training and Jennifer Lopez obviously loved her attitude on stage.  Unfortunately gorgeous natural curls, a smokin hot body and a sassy attitude just doesn’t cut it on American Idol.  Especially this year with the stellar talent the three AI judges let through the gates to the Top 13.

It was a little surprising how many of the top 13 stumbled on Wednesday night.  Karen Rodriquez is clearly a favorite of Judge Lopez and Rienhart is known for her unusual range and vocal textures.  Both Rodriquez and Rienhart turned in lackluster performances.  Rienhart’s rendition of Selena’s “I Could Fall in Love” was especially disappointing.

Jones had the opportunity to sing for her life one more time near show’s end, but her thin, reedy vocals were not much better than the previous night.  Jones appeared determined to go off the show with a bang.   Jones broke down in tears, the judges deliberated, but it was a no-go.  (more…)
