33 Times Beyoncé Gave Us Major Hair Inspiration – Essence

(*33*)

We all know that nearly every part Beyoncé does sparks discussion. That includes Queen Bey’s gorgeous hair. While she often shows off her signature honey-blonde locks, Beyoncé often protects her natural crown — rarely showing it off in public. Her alternative also caused quite a stir when she launched her hair care brand, Cécred — which she co-founded together with her mother, Tina Knowles, a former hairdresser. Earlier this 12 months, fans wrongly questioned whether someone who “only wears wigs” ought to be launching a hair care brand.

For us, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer is the epitome of Black Girl Magic. She reminds us that we will reshape our hair—from short pixie cuts, curls, long straight styles, and more—as a method of self-expression, protection, and more. In short: irrespective of what hairstyle you select, Beyoncé at all times exudes elegance.

Thinking back to her natural hair journey, in 2013 Beyoncé made a big change to her hairstyle by cutting it short, due to Neal Farinahher longtime celebrity hairstylist. His Instagram account showcases the assorted natural hairstyles he’s created for her, from a hot half-updo in 2018 to a tousled mane the next 12 months.

Most recently, in April, she shared her hair-washing routine to guard her dyed locks. In the meantime, after all, she’s been eliminating her pearls. “The stigma and misconception is that people who wear wigs don’t have long, healthy hair… that’s bullshit! It’s nobody’s business,” she said within the video’s narration.

Beyond that, Beyoncé is a black woman empowering other black women to take a seat confidently on their thrones. The singer doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone or stop her songs to embrace her curls.

By selecting to play together with her hair, she is motivating other women to do the identical. Hair is our superpower and it’s something to play with and develop – whether it’s platinum blonde, braids, loose hair, natural hair or something more.
