      That’s a lie. Beyoncé has worn her natural hair plenty of times for years. It’s actually very long and healthy and is waist length. She literally showed her hair getting washed in the damn hairline trailer she just put out. Have you not also seen the videos of her mother Tina coming her hair while also giving her a trim. Beyoncé’s hair is down past her waist

    Great review!
    Beyoncé has been so disconnected with the general public for years, that she has become high-minded and very self-absorbed in believing her brand alone will sell to everyone. Beyoncé has a big team and machine of ppl that do things for her behind the scenes. I believe her goal is NOT passion for hair etc, it’s more of her goal to become a billionaire.
    The reason Rihanna has been successful is because she was and is genuinely passionate about her beauty line, lives by them, does her own makeup and connected globally to the public from the start.
    Beyoncé will not be getting a penny of mine. She’s not about products. She’s about the money and hides behind it.
    I’d rather support other black owned quality beauty brands that have put in the work creating their products.

But Rihanna even Kim K to their credit put in the social media work daily not just posting curated pictures but revealing who they are so people could relate. I would not buy anything Beyoncé sells. She doesn’t support others. You see that by the fact she doesn’t follow anyone which is arrogance to me.

      That’s her biggest failure to progress beyond performing. She thought she was above all that😅. Rihanna knew social media was the future way to engage your fan base and the media. So did Kim K to her credit. Those days when Riri and those Kardashian’s were transparent with who they are as people whether you liked them or not was critical to being successful as a commercial entrepreneur of products. Beyonce doesn’t ever engage with fans and thinks just announcing releasing a product because she’s Beyonce will sell it. Rihanna was working the whole fashion industry alongside music for years from young to get her respect in that industry. She doesn’t need a tour or new music to bring in millions. Rihanna is that Girl ❤

    At this point I wonder if Beyonce just does these things as a tax write off. She chose to be super disconnected / untouchable/ exclusive and we never see her wearing her natural hair or even getting her hair done on a YT for example. I’m never interested in buying what Beyonce is selling… and am I wrong for bringing up the fact that many women think Beyonce’s style leans a bit “country”… the white wig she just wore at he Grammys did her no favors in coming into a hair line. It feels like she and her mom come up with stuff and no one corrects them. I don’t feel the blonde think translates either because she wears wigs!! Halloween white wig she just wore doesn’t scream “oh hey look guys I have the secret to caring for your blonde hair”

There is no mystery any more so I think brands and especially celebrities need to be creative as we have seen it all.

It’s incredible with JayZ as a husband she’s never been successful outside of music performing. I also thought he was low key shading her when he brought attention to her failure despite her world record Grammies. Like why draw attention to that for people to be pitying her. Like if she ever makes another album and actually won AOTY, people will say it’s to just shut people up saying she’s never won it. I personally don’t think she does because her music doesn’t appeal to all cultures of people like what is usually observed with AOTY. I used to love me some Beyoncé but not the person she comes across as these last few years.

    Beyonce will give her all when it comes to her music and performing. Music is her craft and her passion. We've seen that throughout her massive music career.
    When it comes to her other business ventures, such as her multiple clothing lines, she is not going to give her all because that is not her craft or passion. If it was, her clothing lines would still be successful today. She's just taking advantage of business opportunities outside of music because of her popularity, and she wants that billionare status. She knows that her millions of fans will buy her products for a period of time because she's Beyonce. I'm getting the same vibes with her haircare line.

    Selling products for blonde hair is such a tiny niche that she wouldn't make a lot of sales from that and it wouldn't speak to a lot of people either and her blonde hair is mostly wigs so IMO it wouldn't make sense. You made some other great points though especially with her brand positioning and the name itself.
    Now that her product list has been put out I can see that her positioning is still not clear when it comes to packaging, it doesn't stand out. However the products seem to make sense even though it's going to be hard for her to compete with similar products such as Olaplex, Briogeo etc

      RUclipsr and Cosmologist Tiarra Monet is who made Wendy’s wigs. No shade to Wendy but when she first started her wigs were wearing her. Tiarra Monet arrived and made Wendy look amazing. I feel if Tiarra were not included then it would be disingenuous of her because it’s Tiarra’s work. Just a little RUclips herstory.

    Great analysis. Lemonade would have been the best name, and she could have had different shades of blonde like she has had throughout her carrier. I think her problem even thinking blonde is the constant criticism she receives for not wearing "black hair" and selling for blonde hair...there is a criticism of black women wearing blonde hair as immitating white women...I think that Beyonce is perhaps trying to use Cecred as a way to get more money from the Black community and have their support first, and perhaps later she will have blonde products, but focusing on them at first, would be taken over by white women who would think that Beyoncés hairline is about them.

And they’re worn because she’s a performer and switches up her hair almost weekly. Why y’all acting like you don’t do the same thing??? You wear wigs and protective styles to not create wear and tear on your natural hair. She’s a black women claiming space in an industry that ironically majority of it we do not own. The line just launched give them a minute to create and get more nuanced products out there. Just saying.

    April, you're a marketing genius. Your ideas always make soo much sense for the client/celebs you're talking about. This is literally the best idea I've heard for beyoncé. Like, these business ventures aren't sticking because they're never really connected to her brand. Off stage she's not known for fashion, so ivy park didn't stick, ce noir was bad venture from the start because perfumes just aren't as in demad as they used to be and she never shows herself using any of her products. It's all comes off as a cash grab. Anyways, your ideas are amazing!!!🍋 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    By far this is one of the BEST video's you have created (for me)! You have just claimed yourself as the marketing QUEEN! Everything you said is true and makes sense. If everything that Beyonce has done prior (business adventures), is this one going to be longevity? I personally could not relate to IVY Parks, as I have never sense Beyonce exercise or discuss health regimens. By her doing what you suggested would have changed the game. We as a people we are always crying and complaining that life is not fair to us, rather than use the circumstances to rise above! Beyonce is betting on her celebrity status to let this ride but it is just not enough. You see other celebrities doing more to push their brands on a consist bases and Beyonce only post pictures on social media (the most). If Beyonce doesn't want to promote than she needs to in list a spokes person, because people do need to hear about the products do's and don'ts. Once again it is not just enough to be posting on social media. Loved this video, April, well said!

I wish Bey the best but I'm not gonna lie, I could care less to try...

    This shows how out of touch Beyoncé is even though she is a “black” woman. She is extremely strategic. She hasn’t been checking for black establishments for decades. I am sorry. I am not buying whatever she is selling. There isn’t a single average black woman who relates to her because she has mystified her existence for a long time. The only thing we ever connected with was the idea we had in our heads of who she is and now we are taken aback a bit and that’s her fault. I’m not saying we are entitled to her private life , I am saying she hasn’t promoted her products the way Rihanna has. She is really pushing for the billionaire status and album of the year.

I don’t think this is for the natural girls because they see one ingredient they can’t find in their cabinet and chuck up as poison… in some cases MY HAIR NEEDS SCIENCE, it needs keratin not just natural apple cider vinegar… we had sooo many chemicals to our hair that it needs chemicals and science to heal it, natural stuff don’t work on unnaturally treated hair haha IM EXCITED

    You can get Bleach Blonde hair overnight if you go to a professional who knows what they are doing! Now depending on your texture(size of hair strands), it may take awhile for the bleach to process. Beyonce has a course hair texture so it may take a couple sessions to get to Platinum! It really depeneds on the stylists and what products they use! I've gone platinum blonde and my stylist at time decided to do it in two sessions. I had an afro at the time, she said she could done it one session but she didn't want my hair spongey! I probably would not do Platinum blonde on my hair again! It's high maintance.
