Fashion Look of The Week: Empire's Cookie Lyon



Ms. Cookie Lyon is always two things: sassy and fly as hell. In the last episode of Empire, our girl flaunted three gorgeous hairstyles—all of which you can rock yourself.

The first look we see is during a flashback scene. The blonde asymmetrical bob was a throwback Cookie look, but it’s obvious that this style can still stand today. This ‘do is perfect a wild night out with the girls. If you’re lookin’ to lighten your locs for the young Cookie trend, stay away from home dyes. Go to the salon and get it done professionally—bleach is nothing to play with. After it’s done, keep the color going strong with Lush’s Marilyn treatment (http://www.lushusa.com/Marilyn/00645,en_US,pd.html#start=5).

The second look is from the bedroom scene. Every girl wishes their hair looked this laid after a couple rounds, but nobody slays quite like Cookie!  The problem is that after hair is straightened with a flat iron, it’s susceptible to frizz and static. A quick fix for this would be John Frieda’s Frizz Ease (http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=VP12240&categoryId=cat120024%20cat120028). One thin coat of anti-frizz serum will keep your hair sleek and fabulous.

The last look from episode 6 is Cookie’s high pony. This style is only made more elegant with a braid wrap around the root. Updos are everything when it comes to lifting the face and drawing attention to the eyes. Try this look for your next dinner or business party. Oh, and if you want to take the east way out, use this double this hair wrap from Claire’s (http://www.claires.com/us/products/braid-in-the-fun-headwrap-39056) instead of attempting the braid yourself!
