Taraji P Henson Nails and Makeup
Henson always finds time for self-care, whether she’s on the red carpet or in her bathroom. What started as a simple routine of applying makeup and doing her nails has now evolved into an intricate series of tasks that help her stay healthy, grounded, and motivated to continue doing the good work she loves doing.
Henson is a true beauty chameleon who embraces her skin’s individuality and doesn’t hesitate to experiment with new textures and shades. Her makeup looks are not only attractive, but functional too – which she recently explained in an interview with Bustle.
The actress is renowned for her powerful performances in films like Hustle & Flow, Baby Boy, and Hidden Figures. But she is also an advocate for mental health in the Black community; thus her foundation, the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation (BLHF), works to provide much-needed mental healthcare services to people in underserved areas.
Henson views the BLHF as an opportunity to give back in an authentic and meaningful way. She views her success as a platform for passion projects, always striving to fill in any gaps that others might overlook so that no one feels left behind.
Henson’s philosophy has served her well, and she hopes to pass it along to her children. She emphasizes the importance of finding one’s own voice and making a positive impact in the world, encouraging her daughters to find their passions too.
She’s lived by this philosophy throughout her life, and it has been the driving force behind both her professional success and nonprofit work. As an advocate for mental health issues, Henson is dedicated to making sure there are resources available for those in need.
Henson’s haircare line, TPH by Taraji, was created to meet the unique needs of Black women who wear protective styles like braids, wigs, and weaves. She began by creating a shampoo and conditioner specifically tailored for Black scalps; since then she’s added body care products to her collection.
TPH by Taraji offers a holistic self-care experience for active individuals like Henson. All products are cruelty-free and vegan, meaning you can rest assured knowing they contain only premium ingredients.
TPH by Taraji Honey Fresh Aloe Vera Clarifying Serum ($25), is the star’s latest beauty venture and it’s an effective way to nourish the skin on your scalp. Made with nourishing natural oils and ingredients like honey, aloe vera, and shea butter that work together to soften skin on your scalp while encouraging healthy growth.
Henson spends her free time away from work or hosting shows with her family and nonprofit foundation, The Henson Organization. Her latest project, MINIONS: RISE OF GRU, is an engaging movie with plenty of action and humor – it’s the sequel to last year’s MINIONS movie and has plenty of enjoyable elements that keep kids engaged.
