The Hair Artist Charlotte Mensah’s Beauty Regimen
Interview by Caitie Kelly
For the second installment of the T List’s beauty column, which appears in the newsletter on the first Wednesday of every month and details the products and treatments that creative people swear by, Charlotte Mensah, the hair artist and founder of a namesake line of manketti oil hair-care products, speaks about her daily routine.
The first thing I do when I wake up is drink a glass of water and journal. Taking time to calm my mind and spirit keeps me from feeling stressed. Then I rinse my face with Chantecaille’s Rice and Geranium Foaming Cleanser , a botanical-infused wash that I’ve used for over 20 years, and follow it up with the brand’s Rose de Mai Face Oil , Beauty Bar . I love the smell. Sometimes I’ll tuck it into my dresser Rose de Mai Body Oil and raw shea butter. (When I go back to Ghana, I pick up big slabs of shea butter so I have enough for a year.) I’m a bit of a mad scientist in my kitchen: I whisk the ingredients in a mixer until they’re the texture of a soufflé. At night, I like to apply RéVive’s Moisturizing Renewal Cream to my face. As for hair care, my Manketti Oil Shampoo is silky in texture and smells heavenly. If I’m not wearing braids, I’ll put in some Manketti Oil Conditioner and Manketti Hair Oil and really leave them in, sometimes for three or four hours. The unique blend of organic manketti nut and ximenia oils deeply conditions the hair. Afterward, I like to brush the pomade through, along with a few more drops of the Manketti Hair Oil. Once I’ve styled my hair, I’ll spritz on the Finishing Mist to seal it all in and keep it in place. I wear very minimal makeup day to day, but I always use NARS’s High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner in black. I wouldn’t go anywhere without it — or without Climax Extreme Mascara . Whenever I have a shoot, or if I’m going to a party, I’ll do a smoky eye with Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eye Color Rouge Hermès Rouge Casaque and Rouge H . They’re so nourishing and easy to apply and can automatically make you look put together. The plummy red color, Rouge H, is something I will definitely be wearing a lot this summer. For fragrance, I have nearly everything by Tocca, and I love Byredo — Rose of No Man’s Land , Bal d’Afrique — but I don’t wear one particular scent. Instead, I’ll spray on an assortment, layer by layer, until I’m happy with my own bespoke blend.

Rain Gear Made From Recycled Materials
By Caitie Kelly
I am a firm adherent of A-Shape jacket , made from recycled nylon, is superlightweight and perfect for warmer days or layering over a knit, while Prada’s Re-Nylon Gabardine coat , also made from recycled nylon, as its name implies, is slightly oversize and knee length, with an elastic drawstring at the waist that creates an hourglass silhouette if desired. For serious downpours, try the Seaboard jacket from Canada Goose, which features a three-layer water-and-wind-proof fabric, water-resistant zippers and mesh venting for added breathability. Plus, it can be rolled up into its hood — making it easy for keeping at the ready when traveling, or for whenever we return to our office commutes. Everlane’s ReNew poncho , meanwhile, has a fun, tentlike shape reminiscent of the raincoats I wore as a child — and is fashioned from a polyester made of recycled water bottles. Lafayette 148’s Ansel jacket is elegant enough to wear even on sunny days. On rainy ones, Wellington boots are essential: Celine’s short, logo-printed version might be one of the most practical It shoes of the season, and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini’s
