91. Gugu Mbatha-Raw African American Hairstyle: Super-cute curls

Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw looks absolutely adorable with her little, springy curls. She wears her hair in a half-up, half-down ‘do that we simply love. To recreate Gugu’s super-cute curls, use a small diameter hair wand and a little bit of hairspray to keep them in place.

92. Joy Bryant African American Hairstyle: Slicked back, curly ponytail

Joy Bryant wears her hair in a polished, pretty ponytail that combines slicked back hair and sexy, full curls. We absolutely love Joy’s no-fuss approach to beauty – she looks stunning even with a simple hairdo and minimal makeup.

Model Joy Bryant arrives at the Glamour Magazine Presents "Fashion Gives Back" on September 4, 2007 in New York City.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Glamour Magazine Presents "Fashion Gives Back"<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> 421 Broome Street<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> New York City, New York United States<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> September 4, 2007<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Photo by Jim Spellman/WireImage.com</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>To license this image (14721558), contact WireImage.com

93. Zoë Kravitz African American Hairstyle: Layered razor cut

American actress, singer and model Zoë Kravitz looks absolutely stunning with her short, layered razor cut. She seems to have picked up on her dad Lenny Kravitz’s effortless style, because she looks confident and carefree with her sexy casual ‘do.

94. Joan Smalls African American Hairstyle: Side-swept coiff

Supermodel Joan Smalls shows off her own version of the side-swept hair trend. She wears her hair with the usual side parting, and a surprising “bubble” of hair on one side. We love how she keeps her look simple and natural by wearing only eyeliner and lip gloss.

95. Lisa Bonet African American Hairstyle: Striking dreadlocks

American actress Lisa Bonet absolutely owns her awesome long hairstyle with striking, waist-length dreadlocks. Dreads are an alternative to braids, and they can be achieved by twisting natural hair and styling it into individual dreadlocks of hair. Dreads can be prone to dryness, so make sure you oil your scalp every day.

96. Beyonce African American Hairstyle: Luscious layers

Beyonce looks stunning with many luscious layers in her hair. Layers are flattering for pretty much any face shape, and they give amazing body to fine or flat hair. A general rule is to ensure your shortest layer ends just under your chin, and no higher.

97. Chanel Iman African American Hairstyle: Awesome accessories

Supermodel Chanel Iman shows us how to accessorize your hair for maximum impact. For a cool, rock-chick look, wear a bandanna as a hairband with the rest of your hair loose. Pair your look with some dark sunnies and you’re good to go!

98. Rihanna African American Hairstyle: Marbled bob

Rihanna looks amazing with her blonde-and-black marbled bob. We’re pretty impressed by the massive side-swept fringe that divides her face in two, although we’re not so sure that she can see properly through all that hair! For a more practical style, keep your fringe out of your eyes or thin it out so you can see through it.

99. Eva Marcille African American Hairstyle: Structured wavy ‘do

Actress and model Eva Marcille looks glamorous with her 1920’s-inspired structured wavy ‘do. This is a wonderful short hairstyle for formal occasions, as it gives hair great texture and it looks gorgeous. Use plenty of hair-styling gel to keep your hair in perfect, wet-look waves.

100. Kerry Washington African American Hairstyle: Romantic bob

Actress Kerry Washington looks simple gorgeous with her slightly curled, romantic bob. We love how her choppy bangs draw attention to her face, and the subtle caramel streaks in her hair that flatter her complexion. This is a great date-night look – we recommend wearing it with a pretty, feminine dress and kitten heels.

    alicia keys head looked weird.. she look like she turnt her head all the way around .like a owl

      Hmm…I think that that occurred just because the braid is asymmetrical. At any rate, her head does not look like an owl in real life, so I am sure that the impression is just temporary. Once she has a different haircut or photo angle, she will look just like normal. Thanks for the feedback!
