On Saturday Beyoncé dropped a new video/song called Formation and literally slayed everyone’s life!!
Beyon-SLAY!
Beyoncé made a massive social and political statement and only featured black people in the video.
Because #BlackLivesMatter, obvs!
But what we really love is the diversity of black women and black hairstyles shown in the video! Here are a few that you should definitely try:
1. The grown woman ‘fro
Beyoncé’s dancers rocked these curly afro wigs so effortlessly! No need to go natural if you don’t want to. Just buy your own curly ‘fro and twirl on them haters.
2. The adorable baby ‘fro
Hay God! Even 4 year old Blue Ivy is slaying with her afro! As Beyonce said in the song .. “I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros”.
3. The thread hairstyle
One of Beyonce’s main dancers gave props to this common African hairstyle. Lagos hipsters, this one’s for you!
4. The crown braid
Just in case you somehow forgot that she is the QUEEN.
5. The double-sided ponytail braid A.K.A cornrows
We dare you not to slay with this hairstyle! Impossible.
6. The micro braids
So. Damn. Beautiful.
7. The messy updo
A.K.A The ‘I woke up like this’ hairstyle. If you have natural curly hair, just shake it a little and go on with your life.
8. The blow out
If you have big natural hair or even a weave, you can rock this hairstyle. All you need is a blow dryer, water and conditioner.
9. The tight bun
Only Beyoncé can make a hair net have so much swag.
