The legendary R&B group En Vogue performed an at-home version of their hit song "Hold On" on YouTube. The group which includes members Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, and Rhona Bennett (The Jamie Foxx Show) performed for over 3.5 minutes. This year, the group celebrated their 30th anniversary and were on the road touring for much of it before the sheltering-in-place rule took effect. 

Many fans noticed the absence of two of the original former group members Dawn Robinson and Maxine Jones. In a 2012 interview with Access Hollywood, the former members said they left the group years ago because they were not happy with the amount of money they were being paid for their first album "Born to Sing" (1990)  and second album "Funky Divas" (1992). "Born to Sing" went platinum and "Funky Divas" went multi-platinum.

Last month, En Vogue did an at-home interview with Ellis' long-time friend, actress Holly Robinson Peete. Because Peete recorded the theme song for the 90s TV show "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" with the group, fans thought she was a part of the singing group. During the interview, the women talked about their life during quarantine, their podcast called "Funky Divas", favorite albums, and more. 

This year, a remastered edition of En Vogue's "Born to Sing" album was released. It contains 9 bonus songs and rare remixes.

We're glad to see En Vogue still doing their thing! Congratulations on your 30th anniversary!💖

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Asian Hair Trend: Afro Perms

Asian afro perm (photo courtesy of www.afrohair.net) When we talk about the topic of natural hair, we often talk about African-Americans or Black people perming their hair to look more like Caucasian or straight hair. But, what about people of other races attempting to make their hair kinky or textured like that of African-Americans? Afro perms, along with other Black hairstyles have been a long time trend in Asia. Because Asian hair grows naturally straight, the afro perm gives the hair a textured look. The afro perm is not an actual relaxer or perm kit, it's the use of perm rods to make the hair curly. The beautypot.com says, " An afro perm is made by not straightening the hair. It is made by creating hair bonds that make the hair curl. The hair stylist makes the hair into a new shape, using perming rods or rollers, and allows the new shape to develop ."

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
