Three Black Celebrity Hairstyles to Try at Home
Black celebrity hairstyles are hot, and you can recreate the look with some hairstyling know-how. Check out these three black celebrity hairstyles.
When it comes to black celebrity hairstyles, we’ve each got our favorite, whether it be Beyonce Knowles’ afro once upon a time or Tyra Banks’ dreamy tresses. And while we may not have these ladies’ knock-out beauty, we don’t need to bat an eyelash when it comes to reproducing these black celebrity hairstyles. They’re actually not that difficult, and we can achieve them within the confines of our own home.
Halle Berry pixie hairstyle has won raves as the queen of black celebrity hairstyles. If you have a pixie cut, too, especially with razored ends, you can achieve her look in one easy styling hour. After washing your hair, towel dry and apply a styling gel; it’s best if you also add a hint of straightening serum. Next, dry small sections of hair with a large, round brush, curling in an upward motion so that your hair flips up all over in a crazy pattern. Finally, work with each individual section of hair, applying a gel or pomade to get it to stand or sit in exactly the way you please.
For a Vanessa Williams dreadlock hairstyle, you obviously need to start with dreadlocks. Applying a center part, divide your dreadlocks into two sections, weaving each into a braid. Twist these braids and any remaining hair into a loose bun at the top of the head – the tousled look is OK; that’s the point in this black celebrity hairstyle. Leave a few dreads and strands of hair to blow in the wind.
For a relaxed Keri Washington hairstyle, make sure your hair is cut in long layers. Blow dry your hair until it’s damp and then, part your hair into three or four sections, separating the sections with clips. Work with each section at a time, removing the clips as you proceed. While you’ll want to blow dry the lower section in downward motions, so that the hair lays flat against the neck, you should dry the middle section with upward movements to create body. Finally, randomly curl sections of hair into loose spirals. Run your fingers through your hair for the final touch to this black celebrity hairstyle.
A sharp eye and some savvy hairstyling know-how go a long way in creating beautiful black celebrity hairstyles. If you get stuck at any point, remember to ask your hairdresser for tips to model any of your other favorite looks.
