There’s no shortage of hair inspiration on YouTube and Instagram, but replicating the cool styles we see is easier said than done. And working professionals with textured hair face the even bigger challenge of finding a look that won’t be considered “inappropriate” for the corporate world.
Who says you have to sacrifice creativity and spunk to fit in? Better yet: who says you need to fit in at all?! We’ve created a set of work-to-play hairstyles for women who want to look polished without falling into a hair rut or losing time.
If glitter roots look a little too messy for your work-to-play style, gold leaf is a little more down to earth, but just as glamourous. Consider this five step how-to your next arts and crafts project.

Step 2: Create a part down the center of the head, from the forehead to crown. You can purchase affordable gold leaf at the number of places, from your local art supply store to discount chains like Walmart and of course–Amazon!

Fun Foils
Step 3: After cutting foil into pea-sized pieces, use a pair of small tweezers to place one at a time on top of the part. (Optional: clip away hair on either side to prevent outside strands from getting caught in the part.)
Step 4: Continue to place down the center of the part, leaving even space between each gold foil.

Step 5: Secure the foils by spraying hairspray on top of them. You can also add definition to your curls by creating additional tendrils with a curling iron.

It’s Rihanna’s birthday today, and we’re pretty sure she’s celebrating with the love of her life, A$AP Rocky. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are so adorable wherever they are. They could be serving looks at the MET Gala, dazzling onlookers and fans on the red carpet, or enjoying each other’s company at private events and award shows; the two seem to be in their world often, and we love to see it—the parents of two young sons, RZA Athelston, and Riot Rose Mayers, are always out and about on date nights, on both coasts (Los Angeles and New York).
Like us, the paparazzi can’t get enough of them on their way to and from date night, as they are constantly snapping photos of them coming from popular hotspot restaurants Carbone or Giorgio Baldi. The pair loves to enjoy a fabulous cocktail and meal together, as quality time seems integral to the growth of their partnership.
