Love, HAIR & Soul: Erykah Badu, Ledisi & Solange Discuss "Natural Beauty" For ESSENCE's May 2014 Covers
ESSENCE magazine has decided to give shine to the black hair & beauty game that's taken over the culture. And we mean "taken over" in a good way.
ESSENCE Magazine decorated their May 2014 BEAUTY Issue with three distinctive ladies of soul: Ledisi, Solange and Erykah Badu. Inside, the ladies star in a profile entitled "On Learning To Love Your Natural Beauty." And we're already loving it.
Ledisi on her natural hair: "Although I'm known for my long, colorful locs, I still don't take my hair too seriously. "I experiment a lot, dyeing it and constantly switching styles to grab attention. My hair is one of my best accessories and changing it helps express who I am."
Erykah Badu on hair as art: "I view my hair and clothes as functional art. I'm my own stylist and I love it, but I am not trying to make a statement."
In the latest issue of ESSENCE, Solange opens up about being a mother and why she's uncomfortable with the term "style icon."
In the newly released ESSENCE Magazine's May 2014 BEAUTY issue, cover girl and soul singer Solange gets candid about her journey as a mother and how she really feels about the term "style icon." Here are the highlights:
On "style icon": "A lot of times I don't feel very deserving of that title, because it is such a rotation of inspiration that I get from…so many people. I interpret my style the best way I can, and I feel so appreciative that it's celebrated on that level."
On motherhood: "Motherhood is such an evolving journey. You really have to shape and mold your morals and values around that personality that has come into itself."
On her son's fearlessness: "Seeing that conviction and honesty with everything he does absolutely has made me a better person."
