BLOND CAPTIVATION

Keyshia Cole and Carly Cushnie (half of the designing duo of Cushnie et Ochs) rocking the blond coifs like nobody’s business.

TRUTH BE TOLD, there is much hair inspo and envy throughout this entire post. I mean all up in it. I’m quite infatuated with the bold and blond hair hue move, but I’m also extremely sure of how unsure I would look with such hair color. Misgivings aside, one thing is certain though. Keyshia Cole and Carly Cushnie are captivating in blonde!

They are simply divine!!!
