If you’re a black woman, people have all kinds of opinions on whether you should wear a blonde wig or bleach your hair. The reasons are varied, but all of them in some way or form are rooted in weird colorist viewpoints.
Regardless of your complexion, what others think shouldn’t stop you from wearing blonde hair, if that’s what you want to do.
Black Women With Blonde Hair
British vlogger Breeny Lee says, “When you see a black woman with blonde hair, she is not trying to be a white woman. She is just trying to be creative.”
Breeny further illustrates the point, saying that the point of blonde hair is not to look natural, but stylish. “If I wanted natural hair, I would go black … but sometimes I want to hair green hair, or brown hair or whatever.”
Of course, there are opposing views. Youtuber Jazmyne Drakeford did a sarcastic video about black women trying to be white by having blonde hair. Many of the commenters didn’t get the joke.
Are you wondering how you would look as a platinum blonde? Here are some black women who rock blonde hair in various hues.
Curls
How To Care for Curly Hair
Curly hair tends to be dry, so you don’t need to shampoo it every day. Co-washing, or cleansing with conditioner, can be a great option.
If you do shampoo, choose a sulfate-free formula that won’t strip away your hair’s natural oils.
Apply shampoo to your scalp and massage it in gently. Avoid lathering up the ends of your hair, as this can cause frizz.
Light Ends
View this post on InstagramHow To Manage Liht Ends
Managing hair with light ends, whether naturally occurring or from bleaching, requires a special touch to maintain their vibrancy and prevent damage. Here are some key tips to keep your light ends looking their best.
Light ends tend to be drier and more prone to breakage than darker hair. Deeply nourishing them is crucial. Use a shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for blonde or color-treated hair. Look for ingredients like coconut oil, argan oil, and shea butter, which are known for their moisturizing properties.
Straight Like That
View this post on InstagramStraight hair can be sleek and stunning, but it also requires special care to maintain its shine and keep it from becoming limp or greasy. Here are some tips to keep your straight locks looking their best:
Straight hair tends to get oily faster than other hair types, so washing it every other day might be necessary. However, over-washing can strip away natural oils, making your hair dry and brittle. Listen to your hair and wash it as often as needed to feel clean and comfortable.
Short Pixie
View this post on InstagramWashing a pixie cut might seem different compared to longer hairstyles, but it’s actually a breeze! Here’s how to keep your short locks clean and healthy:
ather your supplies:
- Gentle shampoo and conditioner, ideally formulated for short hair or fine hair.
- Scalp massaging brush (optional, but good for stimulating circulation and removing product buildup).
- Wide-tooth comb.
- Soft towel.
Farrah Style

View this post on InstagramTaking care of long hair can be incredibly rewarding, leading to healthy, luxurious locks that turn heads. Here are some key tips to keep your long hair strong and beautiful:
Gentle Cleansing:
- Frequency: Long hair doesn’t need daily washing as it naturally produces less oil than shorter styles. Aim for 2-3 washes per week or adjust based on your scalp’s needs.
- Shampoo: Choose a gentle shampoo free of sulfates and harsh chemicals, especially formulated for long or dry hair. Focus on massaging your scalp and avoid lathering the ends, which can strip moisture.
- Conditioner: This is your best friend! Apply a nourishing conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends, leaving it in for a few minutes before rinsing to replenish moisture and detangle.
Goldilocks
View this post on InstagramBudget and quality:
- How much are you willing to spend on a wig?
- Do you want a synthetic or human hair wig? Human hair wigs are generally more expensive but look and feel more natural.
- Where would you buy the wig? Reputable beauty stores and online retailers offer a wider selection and better quality compared to costume shops.
Au Naturale
View this post on InstagramTaking care of natural hair can be an exciting yet sometimes challenging journey. Each curl pattern and hair type has its own unique needs, but these general tips will help you keep your natural hair healthy, hydrated, and thriving:
Moisture is Key:
- Water is your best friend: Natural hair loves water! Spritz your hair throughout the day with a spray bottle or use the LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method to lock in moisture.
- Deep condition regularly: Treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment once a week or every other week. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil.
- Leave-in conditioners and oils: These are your daily essentials! Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to damp hair to seal the cuticle and prevent frizz. Focus on the ends,
Platinum Blonde
View this post on InstagramDyeing your hair platinum blonde can be a dramatic and transformative change, offering a range of potential benefits beyond just a fresh look. Here are some of the positive aspects to consider:
1. Bold and Edgy Style:
Platinum blonde is a head-turning shade that instantly makes a statement. It can add an air of boldness, confidence, and edge to your personal style.
Platinum blonde acts as a blank canvas for various hairstyles and colors. You can experiment with vibrant temporary hair chalks, pastel streaks, or even dip-dye the ends for a fun and personalized look.
Shiny And Silky
View this post on Instagramilky smooth hair is a hair goal we all share, and achieving it requires focusing on both internal and external factors. Here are some tips to make your hair silky:
Internal Care:
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and hair hydrated from within.
- Diet: Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially those beneficial for hair health like biotin, vitamin E, and iron. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseeds also contribute to hair health.
- Stress management: Chronic stress can negatively impact hair health. Practice stress-reduction techniques like yoga or meditation to keep your hair happy.
External Care:
- Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh shampoos with sulfates, which can strip your hair of natural oils. Opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos formulated for dry or damaged hair.
- Conditioning: Don’t skip the conditioner! Apply a nourishing conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair after shampooing. Leave it in for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate the hair shaft.
- Deep Conditioning: Treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment once a week or every other week. Look for masks rich in natural oils and proteins to replenish moisture and combat dryness.
How To Bleach Your Hair Blonde
If you want to bleach your hair blonde, you’re going to need some hair dye. Here are some simple steps you can follow.
The first thing you need to make sure of is that you have the supplies you need. Here is the equipment you’ll use to bleach your hair at home.
A lot of people want to know if you really need purple shampoo. The answer is yes, because it severely dims the brassy look that many people have once they dye their hair. It helps neutralize that brassy yellow look and allows the follicles to exude a golden look.
Once you put on your gloves, you can open the dye and dip the hair brush into the treatment.
With slow broad strokes, brush your hair with the dye while you’re looking at a mirror. The goal is to cover your scalp in dye so that you have a complete treatment.
Once your hair has been completed covered in dye, let it set for about 20-30 minutes depending on the desired effect.
Last Words
If you want to try different hues, you may want to do a second dye the next day to achieve a certain color. You may also choose to put some conditioner in your hair at this point to experiment with styling.
The truth is that bleaching your hair blonde can bring out your skin tone, especially under various types of lighting.
If blonde hair is not really your style, there are some other colors you may look great in.

The Atlanta Falcons finished the season with 10 losses yet again, including stinking up the final game 48-17 to the hapless New Orleans Saints. As a result, head coach Arthur Blank was fired.
The Falcons had an up and down season, but they if they develop (of as some say change) the quarterback position, they have a lot of room to grow.
Falcons Finish Season 7-10
Smith took on the role of head coach for the Atlanta Falcons on January 15, 2021, leading the team for three seasons. Throughout his tenure, the Falcons maintained a consistent 7-10 record each season. His time in Atlanta concludes with an overall record of 21-30.
Despite the early struggles, the Falcons still had a good chance in the NFC South with one week left, but they needed some help.
How did the Falcons do over the course of the season? Let’s take a look.
Here Is The 2023 Atlanta Falcons Schedule
Date Opponent Time and Location Scores / Tickets Sept. 10, 2023 Carolina Panthers 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 24-10 – W Sept. 17, 2023 Green Bay Packers 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 25-24 W Sept. 24, 2023 Detroit Lions 1 p.m. at Ford Field, Detroit 6-20 L Oct. 1, 2023 Jacksonville Jaguars 1 p..m. at Wembly Stadium, London 7-23 L Oct. 8, 2023 Houston Texans 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 21-19 W Oct. 15, 2023 Washington Commanders 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 24-16 L Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023 Tampa Bay Bucs Raymond James Stadium, 1 p.m. 16-13 W Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023 Tennessee Titans Nissan Stadium, Nashville 28-23 L Sunday, Nov. 5, 2023 Minnesota Vikings 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 31-28 L Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023 Arizona Cardinals 4 p.m. State Farm Stadium at Glendale, AZ 25-23 L Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023 BYE WEEK Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023 New Orleans Saints 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 24-15 W Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023 New York Jets 1 p.m. at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey 13-8 W Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023 Tampa Bay Bucs 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 29-25 L Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023 Carolina Panthers Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC 9-7 L Sunday, Dec. 24, 2023 Indianapolis Colts 1 p..m. at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta 29-10 W Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023 Chicago Bears 1 p.m. at Soldier Field, Chicago 37-17 L Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024 New Orleans Saints 1 p.m. at Caesars Super Dome, New Orleans Football fans are excited about the Falcons and the moves they’ve made behind quarterback Desmond Ridder. HOw many games will the Falcons win? That remains to be seen. Some people are saying at least 11 games. I think 10 is reasonable given their strength of schedule at home.
They will have to go through the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, Chicago and the always-tough New Orleans Saints in the season finale.
Are The Atlanta Falcons On Thursday Night Football?
The Falcons are one of four teams without any primetime games. The other teams are Arizona, Houston and Indianapolis.
Here are teams with primetime games:

- Miami, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Seattle (4 games)
- Carolina, Cleveland, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee, Tampa Bay (2 games)
- Washington (1 game)
Week 1: Falcons 24, Panthers 10
With the Atlanta Falcons victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023, the Dirty Birds are over .500 for first time since finishing 10-6 in 2017. That was the league’s longest active drought of not being over .500.
Atlanta started their 2023 season off with a thrilling 24-10 win against the Carolina Panthers at Mercedes Benz Stadium. The game was the NFL debut of rookie Bryce Young, the starting quarterback of the Panthers.
The Falcons broke open a tight game behind three turnovers, including two interceptions by Atlanta safety Emoni Bates.
The Falcons also snapped a five-game losing streak in season openers (was longest active streak and longest streak in franchise history).
Week 2: Falcons 25, Packers 24
A close game came down to a field goal as Atlanta had to come from behind to beat the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love.
The Atlanta Falcons defended home field on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023, with a thrilling 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Week 3: Falcons 6, Lions 20
The Falcons lost to the Detroit Lions 20-6 on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023. The Falcons offense could get nothing going as quarterback Desmond Ridder was sacked seven times.
Week 4: Jaguars 24, Falcons 6
The Atlanta Falcons lost 24-6 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL’s international game on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023.
The Falcons defense and offense looked listless against the Jaguars.
Week 5: Falcons 21, Texans 19
In a battle of young quarterbacks, Desmond Ridder outdueled CJ Stroud in the Falcons’ 21-19 victory against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023.
Ridder turned in the best performance in his career, throwing for over 300 yards and limiting his mistakes.
Week 6: Washington Commanders 24, Falcons 16
The Atlanta Falcons lost 24-16 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023 in another mistake-filled game by quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Week 7: Falcons 16, Tampa Bay 13
The Falcons won 16-13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023 in another mistake-prone game by quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Despite Ridder’s struggles, he had some key plays with his arm and legs against Tampa.
Week 8: Falcons 23, Titans 28
The Falcons had a chance to win the game against the Tennessee Titans late, even after losing starting quarterback Desmond Ridder to a concussion, but they just couldn’t get it done.
Week 9: Falcons 28, Vikings 31
The Atlanta Falcons had to start backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke due to Desmond Ridder still being in concussion protocol. During the game, Atlanta underestimated quarterback Josh Dobbs, who used his legs to scramble for first downs and throw darts at the last minute. The Vikings escaped with a three-point win while the Falcons lost again.
Week 10: Falcons 23, Arizona 25
The Falcons decided to go with Taylor Heinicke again at quarterback for the second week in a row. The Arizona Cardinals did just enough to win against the Atlanta Falcons, 25-23 as Tyler Murray threw for 249 yards and a touchdown.
Week 11: BYE Week
Week 12: Falcons 24, Saints 15
The New Orleans Saints came to Atlanta looking to cement their lead in the division. Instead, they left as losers after Ridder and Bijan Robinson ran all over them for a 24-15 victory.
Week 13: Falcons 7, Panthers 9
The hapless Carolina Panthers couldn’t find the end zone against the Falcons, who were atop the NFC South. But on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023, Carolina didn’t need a touchdown to beat the Falcons 9-7 in Charlotte.
The Falcons were up 7-6 and driving with about 7 minutes in the game when Desmond Ridder threw an ill-advised dart into traffic at the Carolina 10-yard line. The pass was picked off.
The Panthers then drove down the field, using up the rest of the game clock, to win the game with an easy field goal in the closing seconds.
Week 17: Falcons 17, Bears 37
Taylor Heinicke threw for 163 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions as the Falcons lost 37-17 to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023.
Week 18: Saints 48, Falcons 17
The Falcons scored first after their defense limited the Saints to a short opening drive of four plays and 10 yards. Quarterback Desmond Ridder then orchestrated a seven-play, 79-yard drive culminating in a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jonnu Smith. Wide receiver Scotty Miller contributed a 56-yard catch that covered most of the distance.
However, the lead was short-lived as the Saints responded with an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Derek Carr to wide receiver A.T. Perry, tying the game with approximately five minutes left in the quarter.
Final Word
No matter how many wins or losses, one thing we know for sure is that the Falcons will make things interesting.

- Georgia Average: Statewide, drivers pay an average of $1,970 annually for car insurance, or about $164 per month.
Factors Influencing Rates:
- Location: Insurance premiums can vary within different ZIP codes due to factors like crime rates, claim histories, and local risk assessments.
- Coverage Levels: Higher coverage limits and lower deductibles typically result in higher premiums.
- Personal Factors: Individual driving records, credit scores, property values, and other personal factors significantly influence insurance costs.

How To Save on Insurance
Saving on insurance requires a combination of smart shopping, thoughtful policy adjustments, and taking steps to reduce your risk profile. Here are practical tips to help you cut costs across various types of insurance:

- Independent Agents: Work with independent agents who can offer quotes from multiple companies.
2. Bundle Policies
- Multi-Policy Discounts: Insure your home, car, and other assets with the same company to receive a discount.
3. Raise Your Deductible
- A higher deductible (the amount you pay out of pocket before insurance kicks in) lowers your monthly premium. Ensure you can afford the deductible in case of a claim.
4. Improve Your Credit Score
- Many insurers use credit scores to set rates. Improving your score can lead to lower premiums, especially for car and home insurance.
5. Maintain a Good Driving Record
- Safe drivers often qualify for discounts. Avoid tickets, accidents, and DUIs to keep your premiums low.
6. Leverage Discounts
- Ask about specific discounts such as:
- Good Driver Discounts
- Safe Vehicle Discounts
- Good Student Discounts (for young drivers)
- Military or Senior Discounts
- Loyalty Discounts (staying with one insurer)
Final Word
By combining these strategies, you can often reduce your insurance costs without sacrificing necessary coverage. Regularly reviewing your policy and shopping for better deals will help ensure you’re not overpaying.

You should make it your goal to make money this year on your own terms. You can decide whether that’s a side hustle or full-time business you can do from home. Along with using your head, you can use your hair.
If you have long luxurious strands, short curly locks or something in between, you may be able to earn extra cash by selling your hair. You can sell your hair online and locally by taking just a few steps.
This article is going to show you how and where to sell your hair online.
What Are Hair Buyers Looking For?
If you want to expand your hairselling operation, the best way to do that is to offer a variety of types of hair. Here are two things hair buyers are looking for:
10 inch Hair
Many buyers want different hair types, from something that looks like virgin Remy to Indonesian, but the length they need is usually the same. Buyers want hair that is at least 10-12 inches long.
Thick Textures
They also are interested in thickness, which is measured in inches. The thicker the hair, the higher quality it is considered to be. Buyers are not interested in stringy hair that sheds easily.
Now that you know what they’re looking for, let’s get into the money:
How To Make Money Selling Hair
All of the websites we list to sell your hair subscribe to similar best practices. For the most success in selling hair, make sure you:
- Take good photos and plenty of them
- Show photos up close and far away to capture the length and texture of your hair
- Disclose if you are a smoker or have a pet
Once you’ve taken your photos, you’re ready to begin selling hair. Here are some of the best ways to make money selling your hair:
Hairsellon
At HairSellon.com, you can make as much as $700 selling your hair. This hairselling marketplace even has a Hair Calculator Tool to help you see how much money you can make from your locks.
HairWork
HairWork.com only sells what they call “craft-quality” hair, which can be used on bows and such. Price and shipping cost depends on length, color and weight. Prices may change.
Buy And Sell Hair
At BuyAndSellHair.com, you can run ads that sell your hair for you. This is one of the most effective advertising platforms for selling hair.
If you become a verified buyer, you chances of selling on BuyAndSellHair.com increase quite a bit.
Just Sell My Hair
If you go to JustSellMyHair.com, you can post a listing to sell your hair as well. There’s also a Hair Calculator so you can see what your locks are likely to fetch.
Online Hair Affair
OnlineHairAffair.com is a great resource that allows you to buy and sell your hair across the United States.
If you’re interested in donating your hair, you may be wondering what length your hair needs.
Becoming a salesperson may be a bit much for you. You may be wondering if you can sell your hair for wigs.
How To Sell Your Hair For Wigs
A lot of people may not know it, but you can sell your hair directly to companies that make wigs. Here are some companies that buy hair to manufacture wigs.
How Long Does Hair Have To Be To Sell It?
Many wig companies require different lengths of hair before they buy it. The company will list the requirements on their respective websites.
As we mentioned above, if you have hair around 10 inches long, you will have no problem selling it. If it’s shorter than that, you will have fewer people interested in purchasing the hair piece.
Conclusion
You can make some good money selling hair if you’re committed to it. On the other hand, if you just want to make some extra cash, selling hair will allow you to do that, too.
The beautiful thing about selling hair is that it grows back, so you can resell it as many times as you like.

Many airlines have strict rules on how passengers should conduct themselves. Delta Air Lines is no different. What are some things that can get you kicked off a flight? This article will show you.
The company made headlines some time ago when a woman was kicked off a flight because she somehow managed to board without a ticket. But you don’t have to be that egregious to get the boot off a Delta plane.
Like all carriers, the Atlanta-based airline has what is called a “Contract of Carriage,” These terms basically spell out what is and is not permissible on a Delta flight.
If you’re flying out of Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and want to know the rules so that you don’t break them, here are some things you will get kicked off a Delta flight for:
You Can Get Kicked Off A Flight For Doing These Things
Delta may refuse to transport or may remove passengers from its aircraft in
any of the following situations:1. Fighting

2. Being Disorderly
If you insist on raising a ruckus, especially if you’re drunk Delta says you have to go.
This is how the airline’s rules phrase it: “When the passenger’s conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent, or the passenger appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.”
3. Boarding Barefoot

4. Messing With The Crew

You can be kicked off also for failing “to obey the instruction of any member of the flight crew.”
5. If You’re Contagious

Of course, with COVID-19, this is of utmost importance right now. That’s why Delta and other airlines ask you questions now.
6. If You Can’t Buckle Up
Photo credit: Kelly Lacy / Pexels There may be a very good reason why you can’t fasten your seatbelt on the flight, but Delta is not trying to hear it. That’s why the flight attendant visually checks for unfastened seatbelts upon takeoff.
If your seatbelt doesn’t work, they have an obligation to reseat. If your weight is causing you not to be able to buckle up, you may have to get off.
7. Acting Crazy
Photo credit: Bravo TV Delta says they can remove you from a flight, “When the passenger’s behavior may be hazardous or creates a risk of harm to himself/herself, the crew, or other passengers or to the Carrier’s aircraft and/or property, or the property of other passengers.”
8. If You’re Really Sick
Photo credit: CottonBro If you are so sick that you are in danger of losing consciousness or it’s no longer safe, you may be taken off the flight.
The exception is “unless the passenger provides a physician’s written permission to fly.”
9. If You Stink
Photo credit: Peanuts Perhaps you stayed up all night or stopped by the gym before boarding, whatever the case, you can’t get on a Delta flight all funky.
Delta says you could be asked to step off the plane “When the passenger’s conduct, attire, hygiene or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers.”
How To Stay On A Delta Flight
If you feel that you’re being wrongly removed, Delta lists a number of recourses for the passengers, including this one:
G) Recourse of Passenger
“Passengers shall not engage in any conduct that would authorize Delta to refuse transport under
this Rule. The sole recourse of any passenger refused carriage or removed for any reason
specified in this Rule shall be recovery of the refund value of the unused portion of his or her ticket.”Read Delta’s complete Contract of Carriage here.
Over the past 20 or so years, Atlanta has become even more of a tourist destination.
