Celebrity hair stylist Larry Sims' work speaks for itself -- Gabrielle Union's sleek tresses; Tracee Ellis Ross's unruly curls; Lupita Nyong'o's tapered natural; and Zendaya's ever-changing mane. Sims, a former dancer and choreographer, is also the star of his own raucous reality show on Bravo, Invite Only Cabo.

1. The healthiest way of wearing your hair is embracing your natural texture without using any heat. Use styling products the got2b kinkier collection to add shine and bounce to you curls.
Product pick: Long-lasting curl definition doesn’t have to come at the expense of flirty, finger-twirl-able locks. got2b kinkier gloss ‘n define curling mousse gives moveable and weightless hold for touchable feel and shiny bouncy looking curls while helping to control unruly frizz. Give curls the ultimate boost with this luxurious mousse. Work into towel-dried hair for jaw-dropping ringlets.

2. Always use a good heat protectant if you have to use heat. Hot tools should also not surpass 375 degrees.
Product pick: In a world where women battle with heat styling appliances daily, it’s reassuring to know that divine intervention is now available from göt2b guardian angel flat iron balm. Developed with heavenly hair in mind, göt2b unlocks the secret to superior heat protection plus advanced styling support.

3. Do a regular moisturize mask treatment once a week to make sure hair stays hydrated!

4.  Use shampoos with natural oils and keratin and don’t shampoo your hair on a daily basis, which can strip your hair of oil. If you have buildup, try to rinse and condition. 
Product picks: Long hair brushes against your shoulders or back leaving it weak: often breaking it. To keep hair soft and healthy-looking it needs intense care that deeply restores from length to tip.

Schwarzkopf Stylist Tip:
· Rinse with cool water to close the cuticle locking in the caring ingredients provided by this sublime repair conditioner.
· For a deeper treatment use GLISS™ Oil Nutritive Split-End Serum after conditioning.

5. Don’t go too long without trimming your split and dead ends. The quicker you let them go the healthier and fuller your hair will be.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Finding the right pair of jeans is one of the hardest shopping endeavors ever.  For me, flared styles tend to work best since I'm smaller in the waist and fuller in the hips.  But thanks to Eddie Bauer's new denim line -- which launches online and at Eddie Bauer stores everywhere Aug. 6 -- I've found a petite pair of straight jeans that fit my curves perfectly.   Eddie Bauer denim./Photo by Tracy E.

The Re-Education of NeNe Leakes: The Reality Star Talks About College Hill, What Housewives She's Still Friends With and More

I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
