Alicia Keys is known for her luscious locks. Whether wearing it straight, in braids or bouncy curls she looks great. To achieve this smooth, sophisticated look all you need to do is:

• First wash and condition your hair with MIZANI Moisturfusion Milk Bath and Moisturfusion Silk Cream Conditioner. The Moisturfusion system is great for curly hair that is dry and brittle. The nourishing Milk Bath cleanses and quenches thirsty hair, whilst the creamy Silk Cream Conditioner softens hair and seals the surface for a really glossy sheen.
• Once hair has been towel dried apply MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum section by section. This heat activated serum protects against heated styling tools whilst the patented anti-breakage ceramides help improve the strength of the hair leaving it shiny and full of body.
• To maintain this sleek look until the next wash it’s best to use MIZANI Foam Wrap to wrap set the hair at night so that it’s still straight in the morning. The fast drying formula of the Foam Wrap is great at providing non-flaking, long lasting style memory.

If like Shakira, you like to wear your voluminous, bouncy curls straight and sleek once in a while we’d recommend that you first shampoo with MIZANI Renew Strength Shampoo. As excessively curly hair that is regularly styled with heat appliances can be damaged, it’s important to fortify your hair whilst you cleanse it. MIZANI Renew Strength Shampoo is formulated with strengthening ceramide and protein as well as moisturising olive fruit oil to maintain your optimal protein/moisture balance.

Then use MIZANI Renew Strength Gelée with its quick absorbing formula that is designed to further strengthen and smooth damaged your hair. Once your hair has been thoroughly rinsed and towel dried, section it and then smooth MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum, sparingly, through each section. This botanically enriched, heat activated style serum is formulated with patented anti-breakage ceramide technology to help strengthen hair leaving it with a natural shine. This nourishing serum creates body and doesn’t weigh the hair down.

We all know that Halle Berry looks gorgeous with any kind of hair but we, at Beautique.com, simply love her with this gorgeous short hairstyle. So it you want to get this look we recommend that you use the following Mizani black haircare products.

• To achieve this gorgeously glamorous cropped look first shampoo with MIZANI Puriphying Shampoo to remove any product build up and to cleanse your scalp.
• Then condition with MIZANI Fulfyl Conditioning Treatment which helps restore the moisture/protein balance to your hair and scalp.
• Once your hair has been rinsed thoroughly, gently towel dry and apply MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum before thermally straightening your hair.
• This creamy, nourishing serum helps protect the hair from the heat of your appliance and creates a great natural shine without residue or weighing your hair down.
• Then use MIZANI Silk Finishing Gel to create the spikes. Put a small amount in your hands, rub them together and spread the product evenly over your hair, concentrating on the ends, twisting and spiking them as you go. This wax free pomade gives your hair a great shine with natural hold.

Good luck and dont forget to sendus in your pics of your own styles, and how you did it, so that we can post them on our blog. Email jason@beautique.com.

Achieving Beyoncé’s bouncy curls (see image below) is all about caring for the condition of your hair!! The only way to do this is with Mizani Hair Care Products designed specifically for Black and Afro hair. Simply follow the detailed instructions below to get the 'Beyonce Look':

• First wash the hair with MIZANI Botanifying Shampoo which gently cleanses the hair and scalp whilst restoring the natural moisture balance.
• Then condition the hair with MIZANI Fulfyl Conditioning Treatment. This unique formula helps seal in moisture to prevent heat surface damage as well as combining protein and moisture into a balance-sustaining formula for the basic maintenance of the hair.
• Then towel dry your hair.
• If your hair is relaxed or permanently straightened, section the hair and apply MIZANI Setting Lotion to each section before roller-setting. This Setting Lotion has advanced fixatives balanced with shea butter and ceramides for long lasting hold. It is heat activated as well as providing heat protection whilst adding shine and improving the hair’s strength.
• If you have a hood dryer sit under it until the set is dry. Once the set is cool, gently take out the rollers. If you don’t have a hood dryer you can just wait for the set to dry naturally. If your hair is naturally curly it’s best to blow dry the hair straight first with the Setting Lotion before setting it on rollers.
• Once all the rollers have been carefully removed, gently finger comb the curls to loosen them and tease them into place using MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Spritz for added shine and hold. This light hold spritz also provides UV protection which is imperative in maintaining the health of your hair as we enter the summer months.
