black woman of england: kay montano

  • Celebrity Hairstyles / England / Features / Long Hairstyles / Natural Hair Care / Styles / World

Editor’s Note: Fancy a trip across the pond? Join us as we continue our spotlight series this week on English Black women who are carving out a space for themselves  in popular media!

What She Does: A fashion veteran, Kay Montano (pictured left with actress, Thandie Newton) began her career as a makeup artist at only 16 years old and was given the opportunity to help with the beauty direction of i-D magazine only a year later! She is most notable for collaborating with her good friend, actress Thandie Newton (shown above), on ThandieKay, a beauty blog that aims to contribute to the conversation of beauty and diversity. Raised in west London, the purpose of the project is to explore unifying ideas and adequately represent the world of beauty, something she felt was lacking for her as a mixed-race girl.

Signature Look: Her career with makeup has possibly allowed her to grow fond of natural beauty, as her hair is often left in its natural straight look, with a middle part which creates a more casual style.

An entrepreneur at heart, I founded Un-ruly in 2013 after spending six great years in advertising. I'm über lazy when it comes to doing my hair so I'm always looking for easy and quick ways to care and style my hair. Website: https://un-ruly.com
