Can we take a quick second to look at how far we have come? Your favorite beauty blueprint is officially celebrating thirty five years of serving looks, tracking trends, and holding down the culture, and you know we had to do something major to mark the occasion. To bring this milestone to life, we are so incredibly excited to announce our official Hype Hair 35th Anniversary Issue starring the ultimate girls’ girls, Drea Nicole and Lex P of the popular Pour Minds podcast! Originally from Texas but currently based in Atlanta, this brilliant independent duo has built a massive digital brand around raw, unfiltered, and completely hilarious conversations about dating, sex, pop culture, and navigating life in your 30s, making them the perfect faces to help us ring in three and a half decades of sisterhood and style.
Looking back at our history, this milestone is truly a heartfelt love letter to the community that has been rocking with Hype Hair for 35 years. From the signature finger waves of the 90s to the gorgeous natural curls and flawless lace fronts of today, our mission has always been about celebrating Black beauty, culture, and the unmatched versatility of our hair. It has been our absolute honor to be a staple on your coffee tables and salon lobbies, and we owe a huge thank you to Black Radiance Beauty for providing amazing products that helped bring this special moment to life with that signature radiant glow. We are so grateful to have you all on this journey with us, and we cannot wait for you to dig into every single page of this celebration!
