			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey girlfriends! I just wanted to share some of our customer comments with you. Check out these fabulous testimonials!</p>
<p>“I just received the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/product/devotion+human+hair+lace+front+wig+by+especially+yours.do">Devotion Human Hair Lace Front Wig</a></span> by <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/home.do">Especially Yours</a> in Almost Black and I love it! It is full, <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/wigs/long+wigs.do?">long</a> and bouncy – the quality is excellent! You cannot see the lace in front at all. It is so soft and the color is beautiful – looks so real. I am going to throw away the rest of my wigs and will be ordering this in another color. I love the Devotion Wig.”<strong> </strong><br />
<strong>~Especially Yours Customer</strong><strong>, MI</strong></p>
<p>“Especially Yours is one of the number one places to order a <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/apparel+%26+accessories/suits.do?">suit</a>.”<strong> </strong><br />
<strong>~Especially Yours Customer</strong><strong> and Minister, NC<br />
</strong></p>
<p>“Works perfect! The <a href="www.especiallyyours.com/product/deluxe+comfy+grip.do?">Deluxe Comfy Grip</a> prevents the tightness that is often associated with wearing a wig. Most of all, you never, ever have to be concerned about your wig shifting out of place. In my opinion, if you wear <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/wigs.do?">wigs</a>, this is a great item to own.”<br />
<strong>~Especially Yours Customer, MD</strong></p>

Been there. <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/wigs/blonde+wigs.do?">Blonde</a>? Working it now. Rihanna has rocked a rainbow of hair colors, but there’s one that’s eluding her: blue.</p>
<p>“Navy blue is my color right now,” she tells PEOPLE. “Not any blue,   not the punk blue. I have yet to see the right one. It does not exist   yet!”</p>
<p>What’s her inspiration? “Everyone’s rockin’ blue right now,” she   says. “It just works. I think it has something to do with Blue Ivy,” she   adds jokingly.</p>
<p>While blue may be her dream color, don’t expect to see it anytime   soon. “My next color is actually black,” the singer reveals. “I’m going  to exhaust [the blonde] before I  go black because black is easy.”</p>
<p>Not that the blonde is over yet, either. “I’m having fun with it,”   she says. “It was an easy change from my natural color, and I thought I   would regret going black before blonde, so I kind of just went there,   and it keeps getting lighter and lighter.”</p>
<p>And who knows — she may even skip the black and navy all together.   “From blonde you can go to anything,” she explains, “so I might want to   try something else before [black]. You know how that goes.” <strong>Tell us: What hair color do you want to see on Rihanna next? </strong></p>

<p>The  &#8220;Whip My Hair&#8221; star posted a few photos of her hair transformation on  her  WhoSay account, but this isn&#8217;t the first time Willow has made a  dramatic hair change. When Willow was nine years old, she cut her hair  into a half-shaven style.<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Willow&#8217;s mom Jada Pinkett  Smith said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll  never forget her sitting in that chair and watching  that hair fall off.  She transformed right before my eyes and I was  like, &#8216;Oh my goodness,&#8217;&#8221;  said Jada. &#8220;For Willow to stand there and say,  &#8216;I&#8217;m Willow Smith and  this is me,&#8217; what more could you give a little  girl? And I learned that  lesson from my mother, because that&#8217;s what she  gave me.&#8221;</p>

<p>She was best known for her 1961 hit song, &#8220;At Last,&#8221; which earned her a spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.</p>
<p>&#8220;This  is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the  world,&#8221; said longtime manager Lupe De Leon, who confirmed the news to  CNN. &#8220;She was a true original who could sing it all – her music defied  category. I worked with Etta for over 30 years. She was my friend and I  will miss her always.&#8221;</p>

<p>On <em>What Not to Wear</em>, hair stylist extraordinaire Ted Gibson helps women transform themselves through new haircuts and colors. And now, the stylist who’s  worked with A-list celebs like Angelina Jolie and Zoe Saldana shares his  hair do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts for fall.</p>
<p><strong>Do:</strong><br />
–Darken your do. “I always say women should change their color at least  twice a year,” he says. “During the spring and summer make it lighter,  and in the fall, change it to darker tones.”</p>
<p>–Go <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/wigs/short+wigs.do?nType=1">short</a> … but not too short. “I think shorter hair is great,” Gibson says, “but <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/wigs/mid-length+wigs.do?nType=2">mid-length hair</a> is really sexy right now.”</p>
<p>–Try the new ombré. “We’re taking ombré to a new level,” Gibson  explains. “It’s not necessarily brown with highlighted ends — it can be  brown with pink, brown with a little beige on the ends, brown with  blue.”  To that end, the stylist suggests dip-dying — “as long as it’s  age appropriate,” he warns — or adding <a href="http://www.especiallyyours.com/category/hairpieces/extensions.do?nType=1">colored extensions</a> to hair for a  temporary fix.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t:</strong><br />
–Let age define your look. “I say break the rules — just because you’re  of a certain age doesn’t mean you need to have shorter hair,” Gibson  says. But maintain that hair health: get a haircut every four to six  weeks and use a deep conditioner on a regular basis.</p>

Celebrities like Rihanna, Angela Basset and Nicki Minai have all recently worn the look.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d love to hear what you think about the scarf phenomena (post your thoughts in the comment section below)! I&#8217;m personally in love with Rihanna&#8217;s look! The simple addition of the handkerchief really transformed her curly, messy updo. And is anyone else shocked to see Nicki&#8217;s wig covered by a scarf?! I sure was.</p>
