Lupita Nyong'o face of Lancome

Our fellow African beauty, oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o star has been beaming brighter and brighter since her first movie debut.Too me it seems it was only a matter of time before Lupita joined the beauty game. She has been announced as the new face for Lancome french luxury cosmetics brand. Well done to her as the brands first black ambassador, she keeps proving that beauty should not be dictated. Her style represents as she has said "an expression of a woman's freedom to be herself. She is definitely always herself in her style and hair game. Check a few of Lupita's trendy hairspiration below.

 

Check a few of Lupita's hairspiration for short natural hair she makes it look so easy and flawless. If I ever had the guts to cut my hair this short again I'd definetly rock these.

 

Lupita is a natural haired sister who is constantly experimenting and showing us that short natural hair can be versatile.

Solange, Erykah and Ledisi all cover Essence Mag

We here at Black Hair Affair are a blog that celebrates All types of african hair types and textures and  with me being a total magazine addict(you will find a stack on my coffee table). I got super excited when I saw Essence magazine had three new covers for May 2014. The three covers had hair trendsetters Erykah Badu, Solange Knowles and Ledisi.

 

Here they are check them out. Erykah Badu was in South Africa for the past week this March performing at the International Cape Town Jazz festival and thankfully I got to see this talent live. Truly amazing like no other.

 

Solange Knowles covers rocking her natural afro our as she talks learning to love her natural beauty. And such a natural beauty she is, should be easy.

 

The third cover has another er music sensation and hair trendsetter Ledisi. She is rocking her luscious dreadlocks styled to perfection. I can't wait to get my hands on all three, which cover are you loving best?

Great Hair is Always in Fashion: SA Fashion Week

South Africa Fashion week took off with a bang last week 2-8 April 2014 in Johannesburg. The fashion obviously took centre stage at fashion week. But hair seems to have been just as important as hair brands Motions and TRESemme were part of the action. Apart from the beautiful designer clothes I was blown away by some of the hair trends I saw on and off the fashion runways.


Heres some of what I saw and loved on the scene and behind the scenes on models, celebrities and fashion lovers.

 

First up was presenter, actress Minnie Dlamini who opened up the Sheer Glamour show on day one. She wore a Gert Johan Coetzee gown with hair styled into a modern pompadour by hair guru Nthato Mashishi for Motions haircare.

 

 Behind the scenes other models runway hair was done by hair extrodinaire

 Matthew Mansoor for TRESemme and Nthato 

 for Motions.

Where theres fashion and cameras there are celebrities of course. Here are some of the celebrities at SA Fashion week who's hair we adored.

 Short 80's inspired hair was trending as we spotted two of SA's finest ladies, musician Nandi Mngoma and actress, Mbali Mlotshwa. Rocking short edgy afro's to watch the shows.

 

Presenters, Tumi Voster and Pearl Modiadie worked their signature long hair. In weaves we trust!

 

And then we spotted these ear cuffs on the ever stylish Zuraida Jardine and bold beauty Nomuzi Mabena. These are definetly accessories most girls will be rocking this winter. What did you think of the looks at SA Fashion week this year? share your thoughts below
