We have seen Kelly Rowland wear a number of memorable hairstyles over the years. From the time she was in Destiny's Child to when she released her first solo project, Simply Deep, in 2002, Kelly rocked her signature red short 'do.


From there she began experimenting with long hair and created another signature look: long, black luscious locks with a bang. It appears that the mom of two is now in her bobiana era as she is currently sporting a platinum blond bob.

While speaking to xoNecole, the "Like This" singer credits Tina Knowles for her ever-changing styles.

“I’m really grateful to Mama T for that because since she owned and worked in a hair salon, she would say, ‘Well, let’s try this. Let’s cut it off. Let’s grow it back. Oh, it’s just hair,’ you know what I mean?” she tells us.

“I’m definitely in that spirit when it comes to hair and glam and just seeing what pops and what doesn’t. I think that there are no rules.”

The "Still In Love With My Ex" singer has always represented for the chocolate girls and while opening up about her looks from over the years, she reveals how her hairstyles prove that Black women can make anything look good.

“For a long time, brown girls were told you can’t do this, you can’t do this, and you shouldn’t do this," she says. "It won’t look good on your complexion. That’s not our story. That does not belong to us at all.

She continues, "Our possibilities are endless. If anything, we make the trends and we make it look good. We make gem tones look wonderful because of the brown skin that pops off of the gem tone. We make it look wonderful.”

When Temitope Ibisanmi DM’d the word “muse” to Skylar Marshai, he knew he was shooting his romantic shot. He didn’t realize, however, that he was connecting with his future business and creative partner, too.

“I was the boyfriend,” Temi says. “Everybody out there knows, you’re the cameraman at that point.”

We All Mess Up Sometimes. But Can You Trust A Friend's Apology?

Although what I mostly deal with when it comes to the clients that I have is romantic relationships, there are definitely times when other topics come up. For instance, recently, someone was talking to me about some drama that they were going through with a friend of theirs. Emotionally, they felt like they were in a bit of a bind because while, on one hand, they had been friends with this individual for over 15 years at this point, on the other, there were certain things that they had done, more than once, that were starting to take its toll.

When I asked my client if they had clearly articulated their feelings, concerns, and boundaries to that individual, they admitted that they hadn’t.
