Honest ESSENCE reviews of Fenty Hair

Here's everything you need to know about Fenty Hair

“When it came time to try the products for myself, I sat down with no one else Yousef– Rihanna’s current favorite stylist – who I warned about my fried ends. He looked at me and said, “Girl, please!” and led me to the sink. He started by thoroughly cleansing me with The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo, which left my hair noticeably soft, and then followed it up with Richer One Moisture Repair Deep Conditioner. Once I stepped away from the sink, he applied the Protective Type 5-in-1 Heat Protective Styler and went to work blowing my hair out. He finished with Controlling Hair Edge Thickening Gel to smooth out my edges. My hair remained elastic, light, shiny and simply good. The experience made me want to use the rest of the line. This is definitely a collection I would add to my weekly washing ritual.”

“I was extremely impressed with Fenty Hair products. Not because I doubted Rihanna for a moment, but because generally speaking, it can be difficult for me to find products that do all of this. I was lucky enough to test the products a few weeks before the launch. Ursula Stephen – who gave Rihanna her iconic big chop during the “Umbrella” era – did my hair. While washing my hair, I couldn’t help but become obsessed with the delicious scent coming from the Rich One shampoo. But for me, the holy grail of the whole experience was the styling products. After rinsing out the conditioner, Ursula used The Protective Type to protect my hair from the heat from the diffuser. She then used Homecurl Curl Defining Cream which is my new favorite! My hair felt super soft and looked incredibly defined – almost as if she had used gel, but without the sticky consistency.”

“When Rihanna’s team tested these products on my hair, I first noticed the delicious, woody aromas. Rich One Shampoo produces a wealthy lather with only a small drop, so you get more in your money. Meanwhile, the Moisture Repair Deep Conditioner has sunk deep into the kinks of my thick, textured hair, providing the right foundation for the protective hairstyles I wear. After the legendary Yusef braided my hair (think Rihanna’s cover), Hair-Thickening Edge Control held my ends well, strengthening them without drying them out. It’s difficult to discover a hair care product that works for each texture, but with Fenty Beauty leading the industry, Fenty Hair is a natural next step.

Rihanna didn’t take the front row at London Fashion Week to have a good time the opening of Fenty Hair’s recent home in Selfridges. Her loose waves were parted to the perimeters, with the left half tucked behind her ear, revealing a chandelier-shaped earring. On the opposite side, the waves sat above her breasts — accentuated by custom Jacquemus robe— and rocked manicure butter.

To achieve this look, Fenty Hair Global Hair Stylist Ursula Stephen she washed her hair with shampoo and conditioner before preparing 5 in 1 heat protection type. She then curled the sections with a medium-diameter iron, pinning each section because the curls cooled. After resting, Stephen combed the curls and backcombed the roots for added volume, securing his curls with edge control.

Arike Ogunbowale strives for excellence both on and off the pitch – Essence

Published

In Yoruba, the name means “a child you cherish, nurture, pamper, and love.” So from the moment she was born, WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale was special—and now the world knows it. In just six seasons, she became the fastest player in league history to achieve 4,000 points and broke the Dallas Wings’ all-time scoring record. For an athlete who has achieved a lot, she still has so much to supply.

Ogunbowale was born in Milwaukee to Nigerian parents and was raised surrounded by sports. Her mother was a former softball player at DePaul University, and her brother Dare played football at the University of Wisconsin before joining the NFL as a running back for the Houston Texans. Growing up, Ogunbowale showed off her athletic skills in multiple sports, contributing to 4 state football championships during her highschool years. However, her passion shifted to basketball, where she rose to fame at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School, earning accolades similar to Wisconsin Miss Basketball and being chosen as a McDonald’s All-American.

The point guard’s profession took off when she joined the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and eventually led the team to a national championship in 2018. Since being drafted by the Wings the following yr, Ogunbowale has earned quite a few accolades, including 4 All-Star selections and two All-Star MVP honors — the latest coming in an exciting game in Phoenix on Feb. 18. “I just love having fun and playing with a lot of super great players — that’s always what I look forward to in the All-Star Game,” she says.

Amid all her successes, the 27-yr-old understands the responsibility she has to influence the next generation. “I was lucky enough to have two amazing parents who always did the best they could for me and more,” Arike says. “I know how hard it is to get out of Milwaukee. So I always think that when I see little kids, I always try to be the best person I can for them.”

“I know I’m a role model,” she continues. “That just comes with being in your shoes, so I definitely embrace that. I want to be the type of person that people look up to. Young boys, young girls, young black kids — it doesn’t matter. I want to be someone they can see themselves in. So I know I’m a role model, and I try to treat myself that way because I know people are looking up to me.”

The past yr has been a memorable one for the popular basketball star on both a private and skilled level. After establishing herself as one in all the most prolific scorers the WNBA has ever seen, the one thing Ogunbowale hasn’t managed to capture during her illustrious profession has been a league title. As an athlete in her prime, a championship is something she will check off her bucket list in the very near future. Off the court, she reached a key milestone by announcing her engagement to Lala Ronay. For some, balancing home and basketball might be difficult, but for Ogunbowale, this latest relationship has been the perfect complement to her life.

“It really makes me happy,” she says of her decision. “My biggest goal has always been to have a family and kids, and now I’m a little closer to that. It definitely brings me a lot of peace and I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.”
