Why Kylie Jenner stopped wearing wigs

Why Kylie Jenner stopped wearing wigs. Kylie Jenner has stopped wearing wigs because she doesn’t want to be a “weirdo”, and is “over” the trend. The 20-year-old lip kit mogul has been known for wearing impressive brightly coloured hair pieces to events in the past, but has now said she’s “over” the trend and would rather just rock her natural tresses. She said: “I don’t want to be a weirdo. I don’t want to pull up with purple hair — I’m over it. I’m over keeping up with this lifestyle of crazy hair and wigs and s**t.” And the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star – who has also previously dyed her own locks stunning shades of blue and green – admits that she believes her “following” now expect her to wear wigs, and is worried that by ditching the fake tresses she might be “disappointing” her fans.
                                                 

Speaking on a preview clip for ‘Life of Kylie’, the beauty added: “Honestly, like, guys I don’t want to disappoint anybody, but I just want my hair long and black and pretty. I always try to be different. I always try to do new things. I think my following started to get a little bigger when I was just figuring out my style and who I was. Not everyone was dying their hair blue and green, you know. People know I do what I want. They just don’t know what to expect.” Kylie’s decision not to make herself seem like a “weirdo” comes as she recently admitted she “lost” her “weird and funny side” after growing up in the spotlight. She said previously: “I think I lost a lot of parts of myself. My funny side – when I was 14 I used to post all these funny videos all the time, just me being like, super weird and funny and myself. I feel like once I started getting a little bit bigger, then people really started to … everyone says mean things sometimes, it’s just how social media is – it’s a really mean, negative space.”

Big wigs and bigger thinking in Freefall's 'Marie Antoinette'

This production does so much more, however, than render a lively version of history. There's a visually arresting continuous palette of color. There's a running montage of video imagery that either represents events of the French Revolution and an abundance of luxury or speaks to the constructs of Marie's mind. And there are some very solid performances in leading roles. It all combines for as serious a statement as you're likely to find on topics that will strike many as timely, even presciently so.
                                                   

The show, directed by Freefall producing artistic director Eric Davis, aims to capture events accurately (time stamps are helpfully projected, along with imagery of the late 18th century) while playfully interjecting elements from today. Costume designer David Covach made the most of his opportunity to do more than clothe actors. The flowing gowns and breeches and accoutrements are spectacular, but so are the cotton-candy bouffant hairstyles of the royal ladies (a young Marie, who carries the enthusiasm and resentments of a precocious teenager, and her girlfriends, wearing neon-loud wigs by Parker Lawhorne), a T-shirt with a "Keep calm" bromide, and the black leather get-up of a muscular young prison guard (Haulston Mann) with whom she's having an affair. Lighting by Cody Basham and thumping contemporary pop music establish a club mood, all to buttress the effect of throwing history and the present into a blender.

Yet this play celebrates neither relativism nor revolution; it examines the people caught up in social and political movements. It offers a well-drawn glimpse into Marie, who needles her husband ("Has it ever occurred to you to run France?") and laments the childhood she never had, including a mother who "spied on me, punished and exhorted me and never raised me."

Megan Therese Rippey is well cast as Marie, who lands a supple depiction of an alert but uneducated woman whose true nobility shines once she is stripped of her crown. Lucas Wells complements her strong personality with his retreating, comically childlike persona.

My Hairstyle Depends on My Mood

Blac Chyna has worn practically every color hair under the sun, but it turns out she's very particular about which wig she chooses and when to wear it. Stylish got the scoop from the 29-year- old about her perfect style, and yes, how she decides on the color of her wig.
                                               

It turns out, much like a mood ring or shade-shifting lipstick, Blac Chyna’s wigs are a reflection of her mood. She tells Us, "If I'm not in a good mood, I'm gonna wear black hair. I'm not gonna wear blonde hair. If I'm feeling feisty, I'm gonna put on a red wig.”

Chyna added, “If I'm feeling like a Barbie girl, I'm gonna throw that blonde wig on. It's just the mood." In other words, as some people make a statement with their clothes, Blac Chyna’s wigs are a clue as to how she is feeling.


But Chyna does have a fashion rule that she tries to live by. When asked about her personal style, she explained, “I'm always sexy. You gotta stay sexy.” And if she’s not going with full-throttle glamour, she goes with super casual. “Sweats and some flip-flops is what you'll get from me, or you'll get some six-inch pumps and a ruffled shirt,” she said.

Now innovators are losing sleep as they come up with all these ideas. Just as we were settling in with the stencils, they have unleashed the wig! This is by far the easiest solution.

Thin eyebrows are a thing of the past. Now if you need a full and thick eyebrow, grab a wig; the most important thing is it should be well shaped.

If you are having trouble growing your own eyebrows due to disease or treatment including chemotherapy, or you simply over-plucked yours, just stick on these false ones and you are good to go.

The beauty is that they are made from natural hair and you are assured of a natural look. All you have to do is choose the shape that suits your face.

Wearing wonderful wigs on Wednesday for the Child Cancer Foundation fundraiser

Luka Wolfgram​ is helping promote wild and wonderful wigs for a charity close to his heart. The 13-year-old Drury student, who attends ACG Strathallan school, is helping promote the Child Cancer Foundation's Wig Wednesday fundraiser which runs this week.
                                             

The event launched for the first time last year and encourages businesses, schools and organisations to wear wacky wigs for the day in exchange for a donation to the charity.

Last year over 400 schools and business nationwide took part, with over $90,000 raised to help support Kiwi children with cancer and their families.Luka, who won an award in last year's Outlook for Someday Sustainability Film Challenge, has made another short film to highlight the event.

Raising money for the charity means a lot to Luka who lost his young brother, Kosta, to cancer in March last year. Child Cancer Foundation national commercial manager Jo Clark says people simply need to "don a wig and make a donation" to get behind the event.

About 40 girls at Wenona School willingly had their locks snipped off on Wednesday by volunteer TAFE NSW hairdressing teachers.The hair will be used for medical wigs for people with cancer or alopecia.The students from the North Sydney school each donated at least 15 centimetres to waste recovery business Sustainable Salons Australia (SSA) - the largest provider of ponytails to children's charity Variety.

Former Wenona student Miranda Ilchef founded the event in 2015 after watching her aunt lose her hair from chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.
"I noticed that it (a wig) helped her restore a sense of normality in what is a very abnormal procedure," Ms Ilchef told AAP.
"Hair grows for free ... so I think it's a small thing we can do to make a big difference in someone else's life," she said.
Wenona's school theatre was abuzz on Wednesday as the hair donations began to stack up. Student event organisers Xanthe Muston and Charlotte Doughty both significantly trimmed their tresses.

80s shapes, custom wigs are among 2017 trends

And, as usual, fashion is way ahead of us.
                 

Although there are a few things we will carry with us in 2017 - respect for the plus-size model (thanks, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue diva Ashley Graham), the no-makeup movement (via Alicia Keys), and our love of the pantsuit (hello, Hillary) - to the rest, we say bye-bye.

The first order of business is ushering in the new power suit, said Sidney Morgan-Petro, retail editor for WGSN, a global trend-forecasting firm. The rise of athleisure-inspired comfort combined with the modern working woman's desire to appear powerful and grounded, as well as ethereal and feminine, is behind this new look.

Women's wear

"There will be an insane amount of stripes," said Ann Gitter, owner of Center City boutique Knit Wit, "not just the thin ones, but lots of bold ones - vertical and horizontal combined, black and white, blue and white. Men's shirting elements will continue to up the ante in women's wear."

Of course, this onslaught of menswear detailing will need to be softened with a feminine touch, said Mary K. Dougherty, owner of Nicole Miller Boutique in Center City and Manayunk. "There will be ruffles and ribbons, interesting necklines, knife pleats. It's all about the flirty, fun, whimsical, and soft aesthetic."

The light pinks and neutrals of ballerina slippers will take on a harder edge, especially in women's shoes this season, and especially on the reigning shoe of the moment - the slip-on oxford, said Elena Brennan, owner of Fabric Row's Bus Stop Boutique.

Beauty

"The shag is back," said Roxy Brennan, stylist at the Rittenhouse Spa & Club, Hair by Paul LaBrecque. "We are talking long, short, with or without bangs." The cut also will pop in soft pink and green pastels.

THE BEST OF: A NIGHT OF WIGS AND WISHES

With candles lit and tearful faces, A Night of Wigs and Wishes remembered those who lost their lives over the last year to cancer. The October 23 event, held at Lucien’s Manor in Berlin Township, raised thousands of dollars to help grant wishes to cancer-stricken children and provide wigs to women going through chemotherapy. This year marked the 4th Annual Night of Wigs and Wishes event.

The evening, powered by the Friends Are By Your Side (FABYS) charity, kicked off with a cocktail hour and auction. While guests enjoyed table after table of appetizers and cocktails from the many different bars, donations poured in from the sales of raffle tickets and champagne glasses. As dinner kicked off in the main ballroom, guests were treated to a private concert by Paula Abdul, as well as video tributes to those who were lost this year during battles with cancer.

From the throw down alone, over $9,000 was raised. Though the final tally of donations, auctions and ticket sales is still yet to be determined, Cartier deemed the night a success. However, the success of the event is not solely determined by the money raised; As Cartier granted a wish for a little girl to visit Walt Disney World, she threw her arms around his neck and exclaimed, “I love you, Martino!”

Now that the event is over, it’s time for the planning crew to take a small break. But big plans are being worked on for the fifth annual event, coming October 2017.

See Kelly Clarkson Cover 'Chandelier' in Sia Wig for Halloween

Kelly Clarkson donned a replica of Sia's signature, eye-shrouding wig and belted a pre-Halloween cover of "Chandelier" during a Facebook live session. Standing in front of a flowered wall in her Nashville home, the singer performed an a capella version of the 2014 hit, nailing every ghostly high note and melismatic swoop.
           

"I don't know how she does this 'cause, ya know, you can't see,” Clarkson joked afterward of Sia's hair. "But it's also kind of awesome, because you're in your own little world when you're performing … I love that song. Everybody loves that song."
After the performance, Clarkson promoted her second annual all-star Miracle on Broadway Christmas benefit show, set for December 16th at downtown Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. The event, which benefits four local charities, also features Reba, Ronnie Dunn, Kelsea Ballerini, RaeLynn, the Steeldrivers and Chip Esten.
Clarkson is currently prepping her eighth album, due out in 2017. The LP, which taps R&B and soul influences, will follow 2015's Piece By Piece, which drew heavily on contemporary electro-pop and EDM sounds.
