While I was getting my Wash 'n Blow dry on in the city of T.Dot aka Toronto, I got a hand full of ideas for some up coming posts, video features and reviews thanks to Jazma Stylist Ms. Lynne.
She gave me some great and horrible new things to feature... so stay tuned!

LG Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010 by L'oreal RAP UP!
We know, we know it's almost two weeks since the wirlwind of fabulousness ended but here is the rundown/rap up as we promised!
All in all Toronto Fashion Week was success adn you can say (based on the opinion of many) very tame in comparison to earlier events. Cough-no drnken speeches this time around-Cough. All you canadian fashion enthusiasts KNOW who and what we're talking about.
The fashionable trends in hair to look out for this coming fall are wild and almost tribal. We here at BHC are EXTREEMELY excited to see how lovely ladies of Canada will incorporate some of these trends into their everyday fab. Earthy and natural hair tones are IN this year. As a whole, it seems the asymetrical hair cutting is a thing of the past. No crazy hair colours, but lots of crazy hair styling. Lots of teasing, texture, volume and up do's. Although wild, the styles were very fun, flirty and feminine.
Although there wasn't much change in the lack of diversity on the catwalk (which NEEDS to change), the beautiful women of colour who did stomp the catwalk were looking fabolicious.
Stacey Mackenzie was indeed a presence at fashion week! We got it in with her back stage and took note of her hair colour transition from strawberry blond/red vibe to a rather sultry deep chocolate brown.
Canadian First Lady of fashion aka Bossy Lady @ Fashion Television Jeanne Beker's discouraging words to Canada's Next Top Model Cycle 1 contestant Tenika Davis a couple years back havn't effected homegirls presence on the Canadian catwalk. BHC was glad to see our girl Tenika getting her strut on at multiples shows during Fashion Week.
Stay Tuned for some pics, we're havin some technical difficulties (they'll be up soon!).

Chris Rock's "GOOD HAIR" featured at 2009 TIFF
What more can be said about black people and their hair? Everything.
The subject has inspired countless song lyrics, books, films and kitchen-counter arguments. The politics, the economics and even the physics of black hair can sometimes trigger obsession. Now everyone can find out what all the fuss is about, with Chris Rock as a guide.
Acting as African America's Michael Moore, Rock goes front and centre in this investigative documentary that is both hilarious and surprisingly informative. It began with an innocent question from his young daughter: “Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?” In black families “good” hair means straight hair, and it's been the source of pain and envy ever since African slaves first digested European beauty standards. Today, women on limited incomes pay thousands of dollars a year to maintain a straight-hair weave – or expect their men to pay for them. To assist in the exploration of this trend, the Reverend Al Sharpton, interviewed by Rock in a light mood, sermonizes on the historical significance of his processed ‘do.
Rock is bemused as he goes from salon to street corner to industrial giant, but he asks tough, smart questions. Aided by both ordinary people and celebrities – actress Nia Long, author Maya Angelou – he aims to bring common sense to an arena ruled by vanity and warped custom. Still, there's no denying the incredible creative ferment brought on by this desire to change and improve one's hair. Visiting an annual contest for black hair stylists, Rock watches as competitors whip up coiffures that seem straight out of science fiction.
Underpinning it all is a hidden economy that stretches from those living in America's black neighbourhoods, to the businessmen who harvest women's hair in India, to the Korean American brokers who deal straight black Asian hair to black women so their manes can look more European. It's a black thing, but everybody's involved (Good Hair at TIFF).
