Hair Competition - Brady v. Bieber

Tom Brady's hair distracts me in the Xfinity commercials. It makes his head look bigger than it probably is. Scratch that - his head is probably really big. Justin Bieber's hair on the other hand does not. Am I biased? Yes. Let this be a lesson - not every hairstyle looks good on everybody.

To the Little Ones - Love Your Hair!!

And Whip it too!!! This is such a cute video. And the young woman singing has a lovely voice. It's catchy song too - "I wear braids and pigtails too, I love all the things my hair can do!" So so so true!!!! Great song not just for little girls but for big girls too!

This leads me to a larger question - Can this Sesame Street video help young kids break the racial stereotypes instilled in them, as demonstrated by the 1940s Clark Doll Experiment or the recent doll test conducted by CNN and help them embrace their own unique identity and the differences in others?

Keep in mind the words of Whitney Houston - "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. SHOW THEM ALL THE BEAUTY THEY POSSESS INSIDE."

Toupee Troubles

Whether you believe that the devil is after Bishop Eddie Long and he's being wrongly accused or you believe that the devil got into Bishop Eddie Long and he did something to those young men, one thing you must agree on is this - EDDIE LONG IS WRONG for wearing this new Toupee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to talk about how a man who allegedly makes a few million a year should have a better hairpiece. I'm also not going to talk about how a religious man should not be so into his appearance as to wear such a horrible hairpiece. That's not what this post is about. This is about wearing a blatant lie on your head!

You may be wondering what the heck does his hair have to do with anything, it's just hair. Well, it's a matter of the appearance of deceit! Studies have shown that some jurors will be biased for or against a defendant based on looks and that their emotions will trump rational thinking. (For more see here and here.) And let's face it, there's a negative association with bad toupees and untrustworthy men. You would think that a car salesman with a bad toupee and in a cheap suit is trying to sell you a lemon, right?

I know what you're thinking - Judge not, that ye be not judged. Well, unfortunately, in a court of law, as I stated above, for some people who may end up being jurors, emotions and bias win out over clear judgment. So, the lesson here is -- there's nothing wrong with keeping it real. It may go a long way in your credibility.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw premiered in Undercovers last night! A hit show in my opinion, and I'm not just saying that because of all the face and some body shots of the dreamy Boris Kodjoe. (He is sooooooooooooo fine. Wooooo!!!! Fanning myself.) Okay, where was I? Yes, Gugu. For all the naturals and curlies out there she might be the closest we get to Another Boldly Curly on mainstream TV. Her hair through the show was mostly natural looking, with her natural waves, and then straight and curled in one scene. No, she's not doing it like our girl Solange, but for mainstream TV, I'll take what I can get. I hope she encourages you to keep it real and keep it curly.

Whip Your Hair!!

It's only proper that after I post about Rihanna, I post about her little competition - Willow Smith. Okay, maybe not real competition, but after listening to her song, Whip My Hair, you might think so, not to mention she was recently signed by Jay-Z, who years ago signed Rihanna. Whip My Hair is now officially stuck in my ear and best of all it's about hair! Check the link and share your thoughts.

How do you solve a problem like Rihanna.....

How do you solve a problem like Rihanna?

How do you make her hair (and style) go back the old way?

(Think Sound of Music, people)

Let me just get right to it - this recent VMA look is not cute!!! Rihanna in years past has blown us away with her hair. I mean every young woman I'd see would rock this mohawk style after she did it.

And they are still rocking this style! Let's not forget the sweet yet edgy bob she used to rock.

So what's with this red hair? Honey, you have dyed it blonde, dyed it black, worn it long, worn it hacked. This red mess needs to go, pronto!!!

So how do you solve a problem like Rihanna? Shave her head bald and make her a NATURAL. We know she has the face for it. After a few months, she can rock a cute fro. Do it, do it, Rihanna, so I can put you in the A-B-C file, like I did Solange. Oh, I know what you're thinking, you don't want to copy Solange or Sinead O'Connor. That's fine. It's okay, go bald and blonde and rock it like peach fuzz. And do it soon before everyone goes natural. Don't want to make the decision to cut it all off? That's fine too. After all that you've done to your hair, it will probably fall out, and any good hairstylist well tell you to cut it all off and start again.

Okay - one comment on Jerseylicious!!

I just posted about Jerseylicious and I thought I could move one without a snarky comment - but I can't - Is it me or does Tracy look like John Travolta's love child?
