“Good Hair,” Documentary by Comedian Chris Rock, Examines Black Hair Culture

When Chris Rock’s daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” the comic says he committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl’s head! The result, the documentary, “Good Hair” opens in theaters on Oct. 9th.

Director Jeff Stilson’s camera followed Rock, and the result is an entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture that received a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Festival this year. More »

Couture’s Mixed Texture Hairstyles Are Easy With Ultima Hair Extensions

Mixed texture hairstyles are the couture trend for fall 2009 and spring 2010 at runway fasion shows around the world. The look complements the tough hippie look by combining slicked back hair with edgy waves and face-framing fuzz.

Despite the carefree appearance of the styles, however, creating them was quite complex, according to Elle Magazine and stylists interviewed by Allure backstage at Versace, Prada, Michael Kors and other designers.

The looks are simple to achieve with Ultima Organic Protein Hair extensions. You can change the texture with water or medium heat, a twist set, or mixing textures when Ultima hair extensions are applied.

Are Your 100% Human Hair Extensions Really Yak, Goat, Camel or Horse Hair?

Depending on the technique used to apply them, and the stylist and salon, getting a full head of human hair extensions can cost as much as $3,000 and up. Having a licensed professional stylist apply Hair Extensions made with Ultima Organic Protein Hair costs a fraction of that. Is the price difference for “human hair” really worth it? Are you really sure you know what you’re getting when you buy human hair extensions?

Have you ever wondered:
o Who inspects incoming supplies of human hair sent for use in human hair extensions before when they are shipped from their country of origin to be sure it really is 100% human hair?
o Rumors that some human hair extensions come from dead people aside, how can you be certain that the 100% human hair you are paying for does not actually include varying amounts of the hair of yaks, camels, goats, or horses?
o Human hair extensions are sold in Grades of Remy, A, B, C and D. Who determines which human hair is graded as Remy, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and D? Who checks? More »

Just for Fun – Video: Hair Styles Through the Ages

Michelle Obama’s Hair is Closely Watched

Like anyone, Michelle Obama has good hair days and bad hair days. Her hair’s been seen pressed and shiny, she’s had weaves and it appears that she often has hair extensions added to her hair. She’s worn it every way but curly and every strand is being scrutinized – not just by black women, but by the media.

Magazine and newspaper articles have been written about her hair. Slide shows run on blogs and mainstream media websites. Talk show hosts interview her hairdresser.

Writing in the online magazine Salon, Erin Aubry Kaplan, asks: “… A reality check: in this alleged new era of racial enlightenment, how would we see Michelle if she switched to braids, twists, curls or dreads, if she looked more like the black person she is?”

Given Mrs O’s demanding schedule, we recommend that she have her stylist use Pro10 Hair Extensions made with Ultima Protein Hair. It’s got all of the good qualities of human hair, and none of the bad. It won’t frizz, droop, or lose its set. And because it comes in so many colors, lengths, and textures, she can chair her hairstyle as often as she changes her outfits.

Each style marks a distinctive time in American history, politics, and African American culture. The film explores the mindset that created the never-ending debate of “good hair verses bad hair” and the role media and politics have played as an instigator.
