Fashion designer Rick Owens stirred up Paris Fashion Week by implementing "stepping" into his Spring 2014 show. A show stopping addition to the usually organized fashion showcase, Owens paid homage to a longtime cultural ritual performed primarily on college campuses by enlisting four different step teams: Step Momentum, Washington Divas, Soul Steppers, and the Zetas! Modeling and stepping in unison is no easy feat so kudos to the ladies that participated!
Gym Hair
Working out is essential to a healthy body, mind and spirit. Sometimes our hair is a deterrent from hitting the gym. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out these workout friendly hairstyles…
Ponytail- You can never go wrong with a cute and quick pony!
High-Bun- The messier the better. Incorporate a head band to add a little flair!
Scarf- Invest in an edge protector. These are lifesavers and will save your hair from heat damage.
Braids- If you’re a swimmer, braiders are your best option. They are super easy to maintain and can be worn in many different styles!
The Incredible Defeat of Mister & Pete!
Indique had the honor to be the official hair sponsor of Jennifer Hudson's newest movie "The Incredible Defeat of Mister & Pete" ! Here is a snippet of our interview with celebrity stylist, Christopher Fulton:
You recently did the hair for Jennifer Hudson & Jordan Spark's characters in the new movie "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete", can you tell us a bit about it?
"The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" is an incredible film about two young boys surviving on their own in the Brooklyn Projects. Working with incredible actresses like Jennifer Hudson, Jeffrey Wright, and Jordin Sparks, I wanted to make sure that the hairstyles in the movie reflected Truth. Anytime that I am designing wigs or hair pieces, it is of the utmost importance that wigs don't look like wigs or pieces. With the new HD technology it is harder and harder to create wigs and pieces that won't give themselves away onscreen or on camera.

One-On-One Indique Time!
At Indique we are all about empowering and educating women about their extension choice and ultimately hair care. When a client came to Indique Philadelphia for maintenance tips on her 18" BOUNCE Coil Curl, we were more than happy to give her a live consultation using the products right in our boutique.
1. Prep the hair by misting it with water, or a leave-in conditioning spray.
2. Distribute French Argan Oil evenly while focusing on the ends of the hair.
3. Detangle hair using a brush, wide tooth comb, or fingers.
4. Allow hair to air dry or use a diffuser for maximum definition.
We showed our client how to revive her Bounce Coil Curls in no time!
Wanna thrift?
So you’ve heard all the craze about thrifting. And there’s a part of you that really wants to try it out. But when you walk into a thrift store, you become overwhelmed by the huge racks of endless ugly sweaters and dingy tee-shirts. No worries. We’ve got you. Try these tips below for a successful trip to your local thrift store!
· Block out your calendar for the day! You will need TIME to search for your treasures and time to try them on. Thrifting is something that cannot be rushed! It is literally a treasure hunt.
· Wear comfortable clothes and shoes! You will be in and out of the dressing room so you’ll want to wear easy off and on clothes.
· Do your research! Yelp is an amazing tool that will help you find the best of the best thrift stores in your area.
· Open your mind! Thrift stores are meant to add flair, charm, and originality to your wardrobe. Think of the staple items that you already have, and thrift for things to accent or compliment them.
· Be careful of the company you take with you! Yes… go by yourself to avoid a “thrifting party-pooper” or go with someone who loves to thrift more than life itself. Stick to these two options, and you’ll be fine.
So go out this weekend and give thrifting a try! You’ll be amazed at the high quality, designer, and fashion forward items you’ll find. Last but not least, always remember to be patient. Your treasures are out there somewhere waiting for you to find them! Good luck!

"Work With Me" by Demetria McKinney
Loved for her role in Tyler Perry's television series House of Payne as Janine Payne, the actress was also apart of the "Dream Girls" cast and other major films. Demetria McKinney is truly evolving into the R&B/Soul artist that she is. You can hear her smooth ballads from the newly released "Work With Me" track off of the upcoming EP Offically Yours. We are also loving her look and the impeccable hair! You can conquer both styles with PURE Curly in 18" and 20." Use a curling wand for polished and defined curls and then transform into a sleek style by simply flat ironing your Pure Curly tresses; that's what we call versatility!
