Some have since returned to different styles. Others have never gone back.

“I was tired of getting my hair done every two weeks in the salon. I also just wanted a fresh new look that would showcase my face and cheekbones more. Since, I’ve tried two-strand twists, bleaching and dyeing it different colors, and even a buzz cut. When I’m just wearing my natural curls, I wet my hair in the shower every morning so the curls are fresh. I put in some leave-in conditioner, then I run my fingers through it with Eco Style Olive Oil Gel it makes my set last an entire day.”

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is likely a lame duck and declined to prosecute Donald Trump’s children in 2012, but he may be the one person who can now hold the former president accountable for his actions. While an impeachment conviction seems unlikely in Washington, Vance’s office has been slowly gathering evidence in a criminal probe of Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns. Vance’s prosecutors let slip in court papers they were examining possible tax, bank, and insurance fraud charges – which are not subject to a presidential pardon.
