Girrrrrl, I blame Beyonce for all my hair trouble so many years ago :nono: thinkin i could be permed and dyed, what was I thinking :rolleyes:

Beyonce for sure rocks lacefronts 95% of the time. I also believe she is really a natural, which is why when she does wear her hair out, her edges always looking a lil suspect....

Nicole Richie and Mariah don't look like they get relaxers. Therefore, they can color with abandon. I think that almost anyone can get away with relaxers OR color, but only a lucky few can get away with both.
 
Both Nicole Richie and Mariah Carey wear weaves and lacefronts, along with 99% of the rest of the females in hollywood.

Also, most of the time photos are retouched not only to make bodies look better but to make peoples hair look shinier, fuller, and more healthy. They're not a real representation of what the person's hair really looks like.

If you want to do all the dying and relaxing without damage, get a weave.
 
I know, what were we thinking!! I also saw pictures of beyonce sans weave and I believe that too. I honestly thought MC and Nicole got relaxers because their hair looks so straight like alllll the time, and I thought it was insane that someone could stand to straight all of their hair everyday all day lol. but I guess thats what money can do haha :P

Edit, I didn't see your post msa, but if they do wear weaves it looks really good..I guess, again, money :P

ps you also know those shots like on TMZ etc where paparazzi take photos when they dont notice? their hair also looks really good on random shots like that
 
some of these celebrites also do bkt on their natural hair. I agree with most weaving or wigging it though, this protects the hair but you can be as versitile as you want with your look. I heart wigs :)

I've read that nicole richie gets the bkt (brazilian keratin treatment) to keep her hair straight...and that could also be the reason why her hair doesn't appear all that damaged (because treatment is known for giving the appearance of healthy hair even if it's damaged).

Oh and believe me, they're all wearing extensions of some sort...and they don't really hide the fact. But people just assume that non-black women don't wear them. But the extensions is generally why their hair looks so good in paparazzi photos (and the fact that most celebrities don't step out the house looking beat up).

Not true. :ohwell: Ask some of the ladies with damaged hair that got BKT's, their hair didn't look healthy at all.

OP,

Mariah and Nicole have a more "silky", straighter, texture of hair that's less susceptible to damage. Mariah carey is naturally curly, she doesn't have a relaxer. The Brazillian Blowout that Nicole gets doesn't break the bonds in your hair like a relaxer so if you have healthy bleached hair the Blowout won't damage your hair.

I guess I should have said it's advertised that way since that's what I've seen and heard (from advertisements, stylists, and users).
 
She's biracial. Her biological dad is black her biological mom is white. At one point in my life, I was watching way too much E! :look:
 
The difference between these celebrities and us is :dollar::dollar::dollar:
If I had all that money I'd dye my hair every day and just pay somebody to fix it :grin:

Thank you girls for the explanations. I didn't even know what a BKT was or even existed until reading your responses lol. I should prob read the Newbie Manual :P And yeah Lady speedstick (and everyone else) said what I was going to lol.
