When we talk about something or someone being “good” we are referring to the thing or person doing what is expected of it or him/her. We call behaved children “good kids.” We call chaste women “good girls.” And when we refer to food that meets our expectations in terms of taste and presentation, we call that “good food.”

When it comes to our hair, the same applies. There are several different natural curl patterns; the way your hair naturally curls depends on which curl pattern you’ve been blessed with. With the right products and care, your hair will do exactly what it is supposed to do. Despite definitions that are as twisted as they are arbitrary, we all have “good hair.”

How is your natural curl pattern determined? Scientists say it’s the shape of the hair follicle. Follicles that are round in the cross-section produce straight hair. Follicles that are oval or irregularly shaped produce different degrees of curly hair.

What’s your natural curl pattern?

Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose, Rihanna, Beyonce and Solange have been caught sporting fun, vibrant bottoms with prints varying from floral patterns to polka dots and even vintage camouflage. However, like every good thing, there’s always a way to do it—and a way to do it better. Check out these celebrities (and a few non-celebs) who have pulled off the printed pant trend well, and take notes from those that weren’t as lucky.

Beyonce hit Manhattan yesterday, sans baby Blue, in an outfit we’d expect to see on her younger sister Solange. Even though it’s a step in a different direction, we’re definitely feeling the multi-print skirt. Allegedly, she, her body guard Julius and Mama Tina were in the city running errands. What do you think of this look? I’m not feeling these particular shoes with this Bohemian look and I’m a bit tired of those glasses but there’s no denying she looks great. What do you think?
