I don’t know about you, but I can go through a pretty big bottle of cheapy conditioner to rinse my hair out each week. So, these natural products that suggest such a small serving amount can go kick rocks. My tresses need more! Thankfully, Pattern understands that. “Large conditioner sizes that actually fulfill the unmet needs of our community. Unique formulas packed with luscious & safe ingredients.

And gorgeous packaging that conjures the legacy of our history & makes us all feel like the royalty that we are. #RockYourPattern A post shared by PATTERN (@patternbeauty) on Sep 3, 2019 at 6:13am PDT There’s something for everyone: While Tracee has a mix of 3b and 3C hair, that doesn’t mean those are only curls that can benefit from its luxuriousness. That, and it comes with slew of products including two serums, three conditioners, a leave-in conditioner, shampoo, a shower brush, hair clips and a microfiber towel. The price ranges from $9-$42. Tracee’s been thinking about this line for over 20 years: “I had logged hours and hours in the trenches with my hair,” she recently told Allure , adding, “Many of us can chronicle the journey of our self-acceptance through the journey of our hair. I think, in all honesty, the timing is perfect.” She’s also tried-and-tested the products herself, testing a whopping 74 different samples before giving them the thumbs up. If “green-friendly” ingredients are important to you, Pattern’s got you!: It’s no secret that a lot of products geared for Black women’s hair are more likely to be filled with toxins and other unsafe products. Thankfully now, lines are getting smarter and putting our health first. Pattern seems to be one of the brands using green ingredients that are friendly on the environment and on our curls. You gotta wait to the 6th to try the products out for yourself: But until then, sign up for their launch updates here .

Source: franklin lugenbeel / Getty September is Suicide Awareness Month , also known as Suicide Prevention Month, which brings awareness to the taboo topic that most are afraid to talk about. As we all know, the pain of suicide doesn’t only affect the victim, it affects family and friends exactly the same, but for much longer. The National Alliance on Mental Illness Website said of the commemorative month: “We use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention. NAMI is here to help.” The most effective way to prevent suicide is to first know the signs and and to educate yourself about the condition as much as possible. Just like most things in life, there are some stigmas and incorrect info being spread in the world about the topic of suicide. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Over 800,000 people die by suicide annually. That’s 1 person every 40 seconds. It’s time to drop the stigmas and get informed… The more we know,… https://t.co/oQYMf7a8Ka — Start The Wave (@StartTheWave) September 10, 2018 One common myth is that who die by suicide are selfish and take the easy way out. But quite the contrary. According to NAMI : “Typically, people do not die by suicide because they do not want to live—people die by suicide because they want to end their suffering. These individuals are suffering so deeply that they feel helpless and hopeless. Individuals who experience suicidal ideations do not do so by choice. They are not simply, “thinking of themselves,” but rather they are going through a very serious mental health symptom due to either mental illness or a difficult life situation.” Help save some lives today by getting your facts straight. Hit the flip.

Not one to shy away from taking risks in the hair department, the Bronx rapper has done it all! From mermaid hues, blunt bob’s, neon units and everything in between, the “ Press ” femcee has been giving us look after look to emulate. Now, the beauty has showed out with yet another mane move that we wouldn’t mind adding to our must-try list! Over the weekend, Cardi headlined the Made In America Festival looking gorgeous as usual. She stepped out rocking a chic multicolored jumpsuit with crystal detailing and cutouts. While the ensemble of choice turned heads with ease, her hair is what really caught our attention. Cardi took the classic half-up-half-down hairstyle to the next level. The star flaunted her tresses in a swooped bang and high ponytail. Her sleek pony featured bejeweled detailing that wrapped around her hair and covered the crown of her head for a gorgeous pop of color. Topping off the look with curly tresses cascading down her back, this look is everything and more. View this post on Instagram Ight imma head out . A post shared by Iamcardib (@iamcardib) on Aug 31, 2019 at 9:27pm PDT Like her or not, you have to admit that Cardi never misses the mark when it comes to the hair game. Her go-to stylist, Tokyo Stylez, loves the fact that her free spirit gives him no limitations to creating a look we love. “I love it,” Tokyo Stylez tells PEOPLE Magazine. “She’s not scared of trying new stuff. That is what keeps me fresh and keeps my mind going. It is all about revamping and redoing yourself.” And that is pretty much what Cardi does with every look . Even if we take a quick flashback to her gorgeous sleek mane at the 2019 MTV VMA’s, her green waist-length tresses at her Fashion Nova collection release party or her pretty purple pixie cut, the star always reinvents herself with a gorgeous look. We can’t wait to see the next look Cardi and her team will put together! Knowing her flair for the dramatics, a floor-length slay may be next on the list!

Source: ERIC BARADAT / Getty Popeyes Chicken is undoubtedly enjoying the hype surrounding its popular chicken sandwich , but it is doubtful the fast-food chain expected violence to ensue over the meal. In Houston, Texas, a man reportedly flashed a gun while a mob of customers voiced anger over the sandwich being sold out. Local outlet KTRK reports : Employees told ABC13 a mob of two women, three men and a baby were told at the drive-thru that the chicken sandwiches were sold out, but that apparently triggered the would-be customers. That’s when police said they tried to get inside the restaurant. One man had a gun, but a restaurant worker was able to lock them out. All the while, the group left the baby inside their vehicle. “It was more of an aggravated assault because he was displaying a weapon and threatened employees,” said Lt. Larry Crowson with Houston Police. The suspect who flashed the gun is described as Black, wearing short dreadlocks with tattoos on his face. — Photo: Getty
