5 Skincare Products I’m Packing for London https://hypehair.com/5-skincare-products-im-packing-for-london/ https://hypehair.com/5-skincare-products-im-packing-for-london/#respond Tue, 24 Sep 2024 23:22:29 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6663 Written By: Morgan Angelique Owens

5 Skincare Products I’m Packing for LondonFor the next 7 Weeks your girl is living in London! I’m sharing my travel beauty products and tips. Let’s start with some skincare products I made sure to pack with me. You’ll want to pack skincare products that keep your skin balanced, hydrated, and protected, especially given the city’s often cool, damp, and occasionally polluted air. Here are five skincare essentials to take:

1. Hydrating CleanserWith London’s weather and potential pollution, a gentle yet effective cleanser is crucial to keep your skin clean without stripping it of moisture. Opt for a hydrating cleanser that also addresses pollutants.

  • Recommended: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or Fresh Soy Face Cleanser.

2. Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic AcidA hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid will help lock in moisture, especially since London’s chilly air can sometimes cause dryness. It’s lightweight and works well under makeup.

  • Recommended: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 or Vichy Minéral 89.

3. Daily Moisturizer with SPFEven in cloudy or rainy weather, your skin needs protection from UV rays. Choose a lightweight but hydrating moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF to combat both dryness and sun damage.

  • Recommended: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream with SPF 30 or Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40.

4. Anti-Pollution Face MistLondon air can be slightly polluted, so packing an anti-pollution face mist will help refresh and protect your skin while on the go. A hydrating mist will also keep your skin looking dewy throughout the day.

  • Recommended: Caudalie Beauty Elixir or Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray.

5. Night Cream or Sleeping MaskAfter a long day of exploring, rejuvenate your skin with a rich night cream or sleeping mask to help repair any damage and replenish moisture overnight.

  • Recommended: Laneige Water Sleeping Mask or Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask.

These products will keep your skin feeling hydrated, protected, and refreshed while visiting/living in London. Stay tuned for more.

SPADURA – RELAX. RELAX. RELAX. It’s so worth it!  https://hypehair.com/spadura-relax-relax-relax-its-so-worth-it/ https://hypehair.com/spadura-relax-relax-relax-its-so-worth-it/#respond Thu, 12 Sep 2024 00:27:16 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6428 By: Rainy “Country Cutie” Cates

The 7 Stages Theatre in Atlanta buzzed with anticipation on a rainy night in Georgia. The crowd, a mosaic of eager faces, were gathered into the intimate space, each person ready to dive headfirst into the enigmatic world of Dahéli Hall’s 2023 Best One-Woman Show, SPADURA.

As the lights dimmed and the first notes of the show’s soundtrack whispered through the theatre, the room was thick with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Dahéli Hall, writer, producer, and actress behind *Bad Hair*, *Dear White People*, and *Star Wars: The Bad Batch*, had promised an experience that would be both thrilling and profound. And let me tell you, she delivered in a way that caught me completely off guard.

SPADURA wasn’t just a show—it was an emotional rollercoaster. It began with laughter, that hearty, sitting around after Sunday dinner with family like you’re getting a front-row seat to someone’s every week struggle. But then, just when you thought you were cruising comfortably, Hall steered the narrative into deeper waters. Comedy, after all, often emerges from the rawest places of hurt, and Hall wasn’t afraid to wade through those murky depths.

As the performance unfolded, I found myself laughing one moment and blinking back tears the next. It was a reminder of how we all wear masks, concealing our struggles behind a facade of normalcy. In SPADURA, Hall laid bare her own vulnerabilities—her complicated pregnancies and its profound impact on her life and art.

But what struck me most was how SPADURA became a mirror for us all. Hall’s journey, with its unexpected turns and raw revelations, was a testament to the human condition. It invited us to reassess our own lives, to reflect on our challenges and the ways we adapt to them. The laughter and tears were woven together into a poignant tapestry, urging us to find beauty in our imperfections and gratitude in our struggles.

By the end of the night, as the applause echoed through the theatre and the lights came back up, it was clear that SPADURA was more than just a performance. It was a celebration of resilience, a call to embrace life’s messiness, and a reminder that, no matter how unexpected our paths may be, there’s always something worth cherishing.

So, if you missed it, mark your calendar for the next time Dahéli Hall takes the stage. Trust me, you won’t want to miss another chance to experience the raw, powerful magic of SPADURA.

Influence On Loc https://hypehair.com/influence-on-loc/ https://hypehair.com/influence-on-loc/#respond Thu, 05 Sep 2024 13:51:12 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6349 Screenshot 2024 09 05 at 6.36.15 AM

Like many women, most of my life I’ve had the pleasure of pretty privilege. This isn’t something I say with pride but it is my truth. While I wasn’t dependent on my looks to get me any specific thing or anywhere in life having “a pretty face” made being a fat girl in rural Georgia a little easier. As I grew and begin to understand life I intentionally focused on being smart because I didn’t want to be just a pretty face. Despite my desire to be more, I still can honestly say I bought into society’s beauty standards in a major way.  

Societal ideals about hair had me in a chokehold for a long time because God forbid I be fat with nappy hair. For years, I slapped creamy crack on my beautiful thick 4C hair in an effort to meet those standards. There was a point in my life in which I relaxed my hair by weekly just to feel my hair looked as others said it should. Even after I made the decision to transition my hair back to its natural state, I still wasn’t unapologetic about that decision, so I hid my natural hair with wigs and weaves that gave me the bone straight hair that was pretty. In hindsight, there is nothing logical about  any of this but that normally the order of operation; you do something dumb, you gain greater knowledge from your mistakes and then you shake your head at yourself. However, the fact is conversations around hair have haunted Black women since the beginning of time and I wasn’t any different. According to the good book, a woman hair was her glory and shouldn’t be cut. Then only fast women colored their hair, if your hair was too short you were lesbian and locs were a hell no for women who were classy, feminine, ladylike or professional.

Influence is defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something. Personally I believe everyone has influence in some manner although there are those of us who profit from our influence which in some was amplifies its importance to others. To be honest I’m not sure who influenced the surge in women transitioning to locs. I can only speak for myself in saying I was tired of conforming to meet standards that would only find me further away from who I truly was and still not fully embraced. Maybe the credit goes to was celebrities like Halle & Chloe, Ava DuVernay, Willow Smith, and Ledisi. Perhaps the change happened when locticians became more creative with loc styles. Maybe The CROWN Act, helped women make the transition because it allowed them freedom from workplace discrimination. Or maybe they took a page from my book and said f$&k society and its beauty standards. No matter the cause, our minds have matured (like some 1-year-old starter locs), and I love that for us. Locs are beautiful, there offer an array of style options, most of all the make a statement about the individuals that rock them.

I embarked on my loc journey 5 years ago during a very critical time in my life. I was in the midst of physical, emotional and spiritual journeys and it was apart of my healing process. I was growing in in ways I never thought possible and I felt that growth should include my hair growing freely into itself. I definitely credit my loc journey with influencing my heightened sense of self, positive energy, and mental and emotional growth.

1 Corinthians 11:15 (But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering) may have influenced one of society’s most problematic beauty standards to date. However, women with locs are no longer buying into that notion, we choosing to do whatever we are moved to do with our hair including starting locs, cutting our locs to start a new set if they feel their journey has been compromised. In my opinion, this shows how profound the relationship between locs and the women who choose to take the journey, especially when considering society’s beauty standards regarding a woman’s hair.

Top Tier https://hypehair.com/top-tier/ https://hypehair.com/top-tier/#respond Fri, 30 Aug 2024 22:41:20 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6208 There is nothing logical about forming an opinion about someone based on physical appearance. However, this has been Black women’s reality since the beginning of time, especially regarding our hair. For centuries the Bible had women in a chokehold and  clinging to split ends because long hair offered a covering. Then there is the idea that a woman’s decision to cut or color her hair indicated she was in the midst of a personal crisis. Oh, and let’s not forget the notion that locs were not classy, cutesy or feminine. 

Since we are speaking of a woman’s glory (her hair), it is inspiring to see so many women slaying on their loc journey. For so many years, locs were seen as unkept hair that lacked style options. In the midst of a thriving natural hair revolution, women with locs were placed in that same old box because of society’s standards. The most ignorant ideology was that locs were dreadful (hints at the former term dreadlocks).

Well despite what has been said about locs in the past, it is no denying the fact that they are on trend right now. The girlies are slaying their locs and proving that they are both versatile and top tier.

Shar Brooks AKA IG: shar_goddess10

Q: How long have you had locs?
A: 3 years and 4 months 
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey?
A: I was and still am on a spiritual journey, I was ready for a spiritual awakening and that’s exactly what getting locs did for me. 

You are a GODDESS


Robin White aka @drknlvely 
Location:  Houston TX originally from Los Angeles, California
Q: How long have you had locs? 
A: I’ve been locked for 7 years 8 in March 2025
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey?
A: What influenced me was my frustration with managing my loose natural hair and constantly hiding it under protective styles like wigs and crochet braids. I wanted to try something completely different and came to the realization that if I didn’t like it, it was just hair. I could cut it off, and it would grow back. Since then, I haven’t looked back. This has been the best hair decision I could’ve made for myself. @letsjourney was one of the first lock queens I found on YouTube who inspired me to explore Sisterlocks further.
Q: What do your locs say about you?
A: What my locs say about me is confidence. From the day of my install, I’ve never felt so beautiful with my natural hair. That feeling is indescribable and something I will cherish for the rest of my life. My locs are more than just a hairstyle; they’re a lifestyle, and I’m fully committed.

Déraj Austin AKA IG : @loc_loaded
Location: From: Hattiesburg, Mississippi 
Live: Dallas, Texas
Q: How long have you had locs? 
A: Been having my locs for 17 years!
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey? 
A: I decided to start my locs, because I wanted to differentiate myself from my twin brother. I was tired of being mistaken for him, and this was a way for me to establish my own identity.
Q: What do your locs say about you?
A: My locs, much like my love for plants, speak to my connection with nature and the organic beauty of growth. They reflect a commitment to nurturing and embracing natural processes, whether it’s the way my locs form and develop over time or the way I care for my plants. Both are symbols of patience, dedication, and a deep appreciation for life’s natural rhythms. In this way, my locs and my love for plants are intertwined, both reflecting a holistic approach to living in harmony with the world around me.

Bianca Gale AKA @curvaceouslybee
Location: Memphis, TN
Q: How long have you had locs?
A: My locs will be turning 4 years old in September. 
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey? 
A: As someone who consistently researched locs for a year, frustration influenced my loc journey. I wore long braids for years. The last time I got my hair braided it took over 13 hours. When I left the braid shop I knew I was never coming back. 
Q: What do your locs say about you?
A: My locs say that I am loved, well taken care of, and complete.

D’Anna AKA @Dnm_locs
Location: England, United Kingdom (Originally from Boston, MA) 
Q: How long have you had locs? 
A: I’ve been locd for 5 years.
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey? 
A: When I decided to get locs, I was drawn to their beauty, ease, and convenience. My loose natural hair was becoming increasingly difficult to manage, and locs offered a way to embrace my natural texture in a way that felt more effortless and harmonious. The beauty of locs  is that they simplify hair care while still allowing for a striking and powerful appearance. I also genuinely love how locs look. They give me a sense of individuality and confidence, perfectly complementing my personal style and identity. For me, locs are more than just a hairstyle—they’re a reflection of my appreciation for natural beauty and a deep connection to my roots.
Q: What do your locs say about you? 
A: What my locs say about me is that I value authenticity and self-expression. They reflect my appreciation for natural beauty and a preference for a look that feels effortless yet distinct. My locs are a testament to my comfort in my own skin and my willingness to embrace something that not only makes my life easier but also makes me feel empowered. In essence, my locs symbolize a blend of practicality and aesthetics. They represent my desire to live life on my own terms, prioritizing what feels right for me over conforming to conventional standards. Through my locs, I project a sense of confidence and individuality, showing that I’m someone who values both personal expression and the beauty of simplicity.

Tekela Murray AKA Naturallykela 
Location: Middle Georgia 
Q: How long have you had locs? 
A: 2 years and 7 months 
Q: What/ who influenced your loc journey?
A: My late aunt Dorothy influenced my loc journey as a kid. She always wore natural hairstyles and looked so regal. As of the last few years,  a good childhood friend (Tifani)  did her own locs and inspired me to start my journey after being a loose natural for 14 years!
Q: What do your locs say about you?
A: My locs say that I’m comfortable and confident in who I am. I was able to relinquish the constant need of being someone else’s definition of perfect. My locs allowed me to embrace truly being me and not having to have every strand of my hair in place.  My locs live up to their name, Free Spirit!

GRAMMY Award-nominated Sensation Spice unveils single “Ex Boyfriend” for new Album ‘Mirror 25’ https://hypehair.com/grammy-award-nominated-artist-spice-unveils-the-single-ex-boyfriend-from-her-new-album-mirror-25/ https://hypehair.com/grammy-award-nominated-artist-spice-unveils-the-single-ex-boyfriend-from-her-new-album-mirror-25/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2024 01:49:45 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=5969 Atlanta, GA – July 26, 2024] – Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated Dancehall Sensation, Spice, unveils the third single and music video, ‘Ex Boyfriend’ from her highly anticipated album, ‘Mirror 25′ set to release on August 9, 2024.  The empowering single harmoniously blends Spice’s influential Dancehall sound with a unique Pop infusion, creating a mesmerizing sound that harmonizes over an empowering message.  Written by Spice, and produced by Spice Official Entertainment, ‘Ex Boyfriend’ showcases Spice’s powerhouse delivery, with an infectiously catchy hook, ‘Ex Boyfriend’ is set to light the airwaves on fire worldwide. The rhythm track was recorded at Ireland Recording Studios and composed by Karon “Yow Levite” Young, and mastered by Redboom Super Mix. The captivating new single serves as the perfect motto for women’s empowerment as Spice uses her influence as an artist to tackle the issues of domestic violence and toxicity in relationships.

 The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Lagikz Supreme, featuring Spice struggling to fight for a cheating man while realizing her self worth, only to leave the toxic ex behind.  “This song is important for me as it creates an important conversation surrounding how women should value themselves and not settle for less,” says Spice, the Queen of Dancehall. I wanted to remind women that it’s OK to have an Ex Boyfriend if their current relationship has red flags and that includes domestic and emotional abuse. Throughout my 25 years in music, advocating liberation and strength to women has been crucial for me. The topic surrounding domestic and emotional abuse in a relationship is a tough conversation that no one wants to have. I’ve been caught in domestic violence situations before, and walked away without hesitation. I need women to sing this song with ease, knowing with that same intention that it’s that easy to walk away and move on from toxic relationships. I’ve been seeing more images shared across the news and social media of more examples of women being subject and succumbed to domestic violence, and it is a concerning topic. I want viewers and my besties to watch this video and understand the realities of what at times transpires between certain couples, and that they don’t have to tolerate violence in relationships. I want to be the voice for empowering women to leave toxic relationships.” Spice is set to release her introspective new album, ‘Mirror 25,’ on Friday, August 9, 2024 through her label, Spice Official Entertainment with distribution through Empire. 

The album will be a raw, open diary of Spice’s tribulations and triumphs and a look into the past and future of her steady impact, all while commemorating her 25 years in the industry as an international recording artist.  Stream or Download ‘Ex Boyfriend’ HERE (https://music.empi.re/exboyfriend) WATCH ‘Ex Boyfriend’ HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2D_6sCZerM) Pre-order ‘Mirror 25’ Album HERE (https://album.link/i/1756387847) ABOUT SPICE GRAMMY Award nominated Dancehall artist, Spice has preserved a twenty-five-year legacy, accredited worldwide as the renowned Queen of Dancehall.
