Grantland Network: Men In Blazers

The Men In Blazers live to pod another day (after pledging their allegiance to bossman Bill Simmons and the 2009 soccer flick, The Damned United). They revisit a surreal weekend of EPL action, lauding Manchester United, and prescribing some World War I poetry for Chelsea’s Fernando Torres.


And after countless hours of research, Michael Davies and Roger Bennett unveil their Supercuts EPL All-Hair XI with the help of Derek J, celebrity hair stylist and judge of Oxygen’s Hair Battle Spectacular. All you Premier League prima donnas take notice. Derek J. DOES. NOT. APPROVE.

In the Chair with Derek J! Atlanta's Finest!

Derek J has been seen on countless television shows like, the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Hair Battle Spectacular. He is an amazing stylist and his craft is celebrated by all the women who have been able to sit in his chair.


On my recent visit to Atlanta, I had Derek J apply and style my extensions while he gave me tips on how to care for and treat my extensions.






Derek's Tips:
1. Treat your extensions like you would your own hair, being rough, using too much heat will take away from the longevity and health of your extensions.
2. Tie it up at night, this will prevent 'roughing up' and will also allow your hair to remain silky and shiny.
3. Don't use too much product on the hair- if any at all, products weigh down extensions and cause them to look greasy and fine.
4. Always always keep your extensions clean, dirty extensions not only can make your skin break out but it also makes your hair lifeless and dull.
5. If you are going to wear your extensions for more than two months or if you plan to reapply them, ensure that you trim the ends so that they stay fresh, and especially on Virgin hair-trimming reduces split ends.


These were some pretty basic tips, but vital nonetheless, the simpler things are the more we forget them! Take care of your hair and keep on turning heads!

NYFW S/S 2012: Sachika

It wouldn't be Fashion week without the infamous & fabulous label Sachikashowcasing! Once again the Sachika Twins; To-Tam & To-Nya put on a spectacular show for the press to go crazy over!

The show was kicked off by an amazing dance routine by a group of dancers in tribal wear. The men & women danced wonderfully to the beat of drums. Soon after the dance, the lights dimmed, the front row got quiet & the show began.

Every piece that walked down the runway was an incredible piece! I say these were the must have fashions for the Spirng/Summer! Bold colors, sexy silhouettes, some long cuts, some short cuts, & even sequins! 





The variety of looks, designs, & styling make this collection functional. You'll have an amazing garment to wear no matter the occasion. I think the twins did an amazing job at combining everything that was chic & fashionable from their past 2 collections. They incorporated light, airy & comfortable fabrics & designs similar to the pieces they presented at their NYFW S/S 2011 show - as well as the glamour & boldness their NYFW F/W 2011 pieces possesed. The event was capped off by an amazing acoustic performance by pop sensation Wynter Gordon. I encourage everyone to keep track of all the Sachika collections over at: SACHIKA.com.
