Former model Mitsue Rock is an up and coming Hip Hop/R&B/Rock Starlet from NYC. Her style is different from the norm. She experiments with colors we love. From the pinks, green, blue, whatever, she has done it or will do it. Vissa is truly a fan of her style.
Vissa noticed a posting by thefashiongonerogue.com and noticed the beautiful bald beauties. These lovely cocoa skinned bountiful, beauties graced the fashion spread of July 2010 Vogue Russia shot by renowned photographer Terry Tsiolis. The photos are phenomenal.

Janelle Monae is the best. She seems to always be ahead of the curve. I read on the SFWeekly.com that Ms. Monae recently performed at the All Shook Down Festival in North Beach looking like no one else in the game. Her hair styles with the natural textures is innovative and admirable for future natural girls.
If you have ever inquired about lightening your hair without the assistance of a harsh chemical dye, you have probably heard some terms thrown around. Here, we will learn how to use them correctly to receive the results you want.
Cassia This is an herb that is used to lighten hair. When mixed with orange juice, lemon juice or water & left to sit for around 12 hours, this is to be put on the hair for around 3 hours. The consistency will be similar to yogurt. Following the treatment, the hair should be rinsed thoroughly & conditioned with olive oil.
Lemon Juice Can be mixed with water, peroxide or strong chamomile tea for lightening properties. The ratio should always be 3 parts lemon juice, 1 part additive. Lemon is also very drying to the hair, & should be followed by intensive conditioning.
Peroxide This product should only be used on lighter hair as a temporary solution. On darker hair, peroxide can make the hair look brassy. Honey is a natural ingredient that contains honey, & if left on the hair for 8 or more hours, it can turn hair up to 4 shades lighter.
Apple vinegar/ White vinegar are usually used as rinses before coloring, or can be mixed with vanilla extract for a soft finish to a natural lightening process. If you are looking for a store-bought brand, Prell shampoo is excellent for hair that has been naturally lightened.
