If you have naturally curly strands that tangle or snarl when wet, then RUN (don’t walk!) to get a bottle of Kinky Curly Knot Today leave-in conditioner and detangler.
Available for $11.99 at select Target locations, the product detangles with ease and leaves my curls silky smooth. I apply two to three half-dollar sized amounts to my hair while wet, saturate from the roots to the ends, and comb through my strands with a large tooth comb or a Denman brush. As someone who has been tremendously tender-headed since birth but has a head full of hair, I can say Knot Today works like a charm, allowing me to comb out my hair with virtually no stress to my scalp and minimal hair loss as a result.
I’ve found that the 8 ounce bottle lasts for at least 8-10 shampoos or conditioner washes, and it is alcohol and paraben-free. And as the website notes, “[it] can be used as a regular rinse out conditioner for wavy hair or as a leave-in for thicker curlier hair types. [Knot Today is] an excellent product to use after removing braids and extensions.”
Buy it, try it and thank me later!

You knew it was coming.
Best dressed goes to Taraji P. Henson in bright turquoise, Rocsi Diaz in a nude bedazzled number (and that “new boo” glow from toting around with Eddie Murphy), Selita Ebanks giving us FASHION in an embellished short dress with black overlay (it’s a risk but me likey!) and Tamia Hill in a classy and understated black evening gown. Good to see her back on the scene. I also loved Elle Varner’s entire ensemble and two snaps: Mariah Carey is looking every inch the diva. WORK!

Worst dressed? Whew! Tyga in that leather t-shirt (no sir!), Porscha Coleman’s thirsty sartorial salute to Latoya Jackson, Kenya Moore’s pageant look (those days are over, boo), and Lala Anthony’s homage to I Dream of Jeannie. Was a wardrobe change not in the budget for her? Regina King and Tatiana Ali, I expected a lot more from you. Boom Kat (Laurieann Gibson) has officially gone to the dark side. 2 Chainz is taking over for Bootsy Collins, and Rick Ross just looks ridic. Chante Moore, your tribute to Donna Summer was on point but must you look like a cougar on the prowl? You might want to check with Tamia’s stylist. And take Nicki Minaj with you.
I’m done. Y’all can look for pics of Kimye and Blue Ivy’s parents elsewhere.
Shackles on my feet, indeed.
We feel this footwear – designed by Jeremy Scott – was in utterly poor taste, as did Jesse Jackson; your thoughts?
From Adidas: “The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery,” the statement said. “We apologize if people are offended by the design and we are withdrawing our plans to make them available in the marketplace.”
Adidas, get your life.

Okay, so no one wants to sashay up to a perfume counter or boutique and ask to try some of that “VURSAYSE,” right? That’s definitely not haute! Review the videos below to brush up on your pronunciation. (And note: “CHIC” is pronounced “sheek”).
We’re all self-conscious; I’m just the first to admit it…
Carry on!
Okay, the ’80s weren’t so bad after all. As seen on People.com, chokers, bared midriffs, cropped denim vests and waist-tied blouses are back. The ’90s were a bad decade for me: Bongo denim outfits, Guess jumpers and column dresses, berry lipstick and (*shudder*) bangs. I’m not enthused about seeing the era remixed.
I don’t care if Salma’s choker does have a “YSL” embellishment; please stop trying to make them happen.
Waist-tied shirts and “grunge chic” have also been spotted. But somehow it looks just as sloppy as it did in the last century. Leave it there.
Side note (and proof that the ’90s weren’t a total fashion disaster): Guess? turns 30 this year! And to celebrate, they featured Claudia Schiffer in a remix of their iconic ads. Be sure to check out the photos! Our favorite?

But no ma’am, Willow.
All jokes aside, Same Chic Different Day looooooooves the kids. I promise you we do! But this picture of Willow Smith shopping in Soho in a pair of $690 Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto heeled sneakers has us clutching our pearls in horror. Aside from the fact that they are an assault on the eyes, are 4 1/2 heels appropriate for children? True, I grew up rocking white canvas Keds and Nike Air Max, but come on…is this really what’s hot for pre-teens? I blame Will and Jada.
I’m all for letting kids express themselves in a healthy, safe manner (side-eye to the green buzz cut, though), but I wonder: where should parents draw the line between self-expression and exhibitionism (i.e. making an unnecessary spectacle of oneself)?
Your thoughts?

No, this is not an optical illusion.
Lest any of you get any bright ideas that wearing geometric catsuits is what’s happening in the streets, let me inform you: leave them at Know Style and Forever 21 and keep it pushing. Way to leap out of obscurity, Cheri Dennis…but please get your life. Pretty Woman is not casting a sequel. I guess Cassie is raking in the majority of Bad Boy’s marketing budget these days…

Where do we start? The Canadian tuxedo AND bustier? That heinous fanny pack and the fact that it’s embellished with dollar signs? Or those tragic roots? None of the above are going to “happen” this side of the Apocalypse.
