This season as always, if filled with loads of social activities from weddings to family gatherings and celebrations but it is great to remember that the Christmas season is also a time to reflect and support the less privileged in our communities.
House of Silk will be giving back in style this Christmas. The fashion house will be hosting a charity event “Dress 4 Less” and also retailing its HOS Charity Campaign featuring its Spring/Summer 2012 collection.
The “Dress 4 Less” event will take place on the 3rd of December 2011 at the Amber Lounge in the Silverbird Galleria Abuja. There will be a fashion show featuring the new collection, musical performance by Tiwa Savage and a live auction of designer accessories. The new HOS collection will also be available for sale.
The official press release describes the HOS Charity Campaign Collection,
“Our Spring/Summer 2012 collection features tropical florals, bright hues and nude tones. Colorful summer dresses, crisp jackets, playful rompers, jumpsuits, short skirts, tiered and body conscious silhouettes are presented alongside wide-leg pants with a glimpse of ethnic-denim mixes!
The climax is echoed in the shimmering effect of sequins and rhinestones on prints and reflective fabrics galore — from Ankara to shimmery chiffon and taffeta transformed into garments that mirror the rich mix of a floral bloom. This is certainly our best collection so far going by the exquisite level of tailoring and intricate precision employed to produce each garment. If you love the playful cuts and the body conscious pieces, the collection will surely leave you yearning for more. “

A recent study in the Archives of
Dermatology found that braids and weaves may contribute to permanent hair loss in African-American women. The report reads: “The resulting prolonged traction [used to create the styles] can produce chronic folliculitis, which can eventually lead to more scarring.”
Almost 60% of 310 women surveyed for the study had central hair loss with scarring. Among those with the most serious hair loss, 57% wore braids and weaves, as seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally.
Most women of color wouldn’t be surprised by these statistics as any tight style can break your hair if not done properly. But a woman’s hair is her crowning glory so it’s important to nurture it with optimal care so hair loss and permanent scarring doesn’t become your reality.
Take heed to these tips that will help you achieve longer, stronger and healthier hair:
*Give Your Hair a Rest from Tight Braids and Weaves
While you can wear braids and weaves if you’d like, be sure to care for your hair while it is styled, refrain from getting these styles frequently and avoid too-tight braiding and sewing when wearing weaves.
*Wash Hair Regularly
It seems like this should be common sense but many women of color don’t wash their hair often enough to avoid messing up their hairstyle. The foundation to healthy hair is clean hair. Women of color should wash and condition their hair a minimum of every 10-12 days, but this can vary depending on your hair type. This is also true when wearing a weave because dirt can cause bacteria to build up, which leads to infection. Be sure all to remove all shampoo and sit under a hooded drier after.

Famous , favorite redhead, Rihanna, has landed the front cover of Italian Glamour with the same photo used to cover the September 2011 issue for the U.S.
Her red jumpsuit that leaves little to the imagination and flaming red hair makes for a sexy cover that will definitely turn heads at the newsstand. Though her gun tattoo has raised eyebrows and been criticized for condoning violence (similar to her “Man Down” video), we all know that edge sells.
Hot aye ?

Jewel By Lisa first unveiled her “Vinatge Love” collection during ARISE Made in Africa show at the New York Fashion Week.
The collection takes us back to the days of yore, the 60s to be precise -a time characterized by independence and growth, a time of change and promise. With the emergence of great novelists Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka and the development of musical genres high-life and afro-beat with the masters Victor Uwaifo and Fela Kuti danced and swayed to at soirees; a time when modern architectural influences paved new streets
The “Vintage Love” collection revisits the past, celebrating heritage and culture, as it reworks and reinterprets traditional Nigerian menswear and key pieces within that era into modern female silhouettes.
