Keke Palmer Opens Up About Falling in Love With Her Hair Again

Keke Palmer Opens Up About Falling in Love With Her Hair Again


You know this woman. Actress Keke Palmer is always candid and open, so it should come as no surprise that she’s happy to talk about the ups and downs in her hair journey.

“When I was younger, I was very fond of my hair,” Palmer told ELLE.com. But after years of over-styling her hair, “it just reached a certain point where I started to feel like I didn’t know my hair as well as I had used to. I didn’t feel even as comfortable with my natural hair. That’s when I started to feel like, okay, there was something that I needed to do. I needed to reconnect myself to my hair.”

Palmer did the only thing she knew would force her to restart her hair journey: “I just shaved my head entirely.” The fresh chop worked immediately. “I felt so free and beautiful. My identity was not so heavily weighted on my hair. I became so much, feeling freer and more relaxed. I was excited to give my hair just a fresh start, to grow and be its very best.”

Relearning what her hair needed and how to care for it became the new priority. “After that, it was a lot of just time of really getting to know my hair, learning what kind of natural products I could put into it, learning how to manipulate it without heat and give different styles, and just falling in love with it again.”

Part of that journey was finding products that would help Palmer achieve her newfound hair goals. “I’m so about my fro,” she says. “I want just to continue to give it proper things to get nourished and continue to grow, and just get as loud and proud as it possibly can.” When it comes to products, personalized is what Palmer wants. “I’m looking for excellent clean products and things that are made for me.”

So it should come as no surprise that Function of Beauty’s new Custom Co-Wash appealed to her immediately. “I’m a strong believer in co-washes,” says Palmer. “They rejuvenate your hair without taking all of the positive oils out of it.” The other benefit of Function of Beauty’s product? “When I did the whole questionnaire, I was able to be very specific. When I got the product, I used it all up probably too quickly because it felt so good on my hair.”

The Co-Wash also lets Palmer still play around with her styles, but sans damage this time. “Depending on how I want to do it, sometimes I’ll do a Flexi rod set, where I’ll actually keep the co-wash in and then wrap it around. Other times, I keep the co-wash in, take a little bit of moisture foam wrap, twirl it with my fingers, and let it air dry. It works with everything.” Then, when Palmer doesn’t feel like styling, “I can wear it really as a wash and go.”

The growing availability of products for natural hair and appreciation for someone’s texture is a positive step. “Now, people are encouraging one another to do the natural thing and just not to feel pressured to have a very Eurocentric look,” Palmer says. “Especially with people putting things in place such as the CROWN Act and advocating for hairstyles that haven’t always been put to the forefront, or deemed as professional or respectable. I think so many of us are doing the best we can to change that ideology.”

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

Published

on

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
