41. Kelly Rowland African American Hairstyle: Bold, chunky bangs

Singer Kelly Rowland looks stunning with her signature chunky, blunt bangs. She wears her glossy, raven locks in a simple up’do with bold bangs that accentuate her eyes and lips. This style only really works with dead-straight hair, so if you’re a curly girl, invest in a flat-iron or a high-quality weave to achieve Kelly’s look.

42. Taraji P. Henson African American Hairstyle: Elegant short bob

Actress Taraji P. Henson looks elegant and professional with her short, glossy bob. This style, with its huge side-swept fringe, is very flattering for her square-shaped face as it softens her angular jaw. Your face shape will determine how short you can cut your bob – consult your stylist.

43. Selita Ebanks African American Hairstyle: Slicked back, wet-look pony

Fashion model Selita Ebanks rocks the wet-look trend by wearing her hair in a slicked back ponytail. This look is achieved by smoothing hair with gel, and then carefully blow-drying it to give it texture and keep it in place. Perfect for a bad hair day, wet-look hair is also sexy and casual.

44. Teyana Taylor African American Hairstyle: Cornrows and crazy curls

Singer Teyana Taylor looks awesome with her cornrows and crazy mohawk of curls. The contrast between her tight braids and fluffy curls is striking, making this ‘do quite unique. It may take several hours to style correctly, but we think the “wow” factor is definitely worth it!

45. Jordin Sparks African American Hairstyle: Half-up, half-down

American singer-songwriter and actress Jordin Sparks is bang on trend with her half-up, half-down hairstyle. Half of her tousled, long tresses are swept back and secured behind her head, whilst the rest of her hair is left loose to fall on her shoulders. Leave a few flyaway hairs to frame your face and soften your features.

46. Solange Knowles African American Hairstyle: Fabulous ‘fro

Solange Knowles looks every bit the darling diva with her round, fabulous afro. We love how healthy her natural hair looks, having watched her TWA (teeny weeny afro) grow out since she chopped her hair off. She keeps her look simple with sparkly earrings and bright coral lipstick – divine.

47. Anika Noni Rose African American Hairstyle: Sparkly headband and curls

Dreamgirls actress Anika Noni Rose looks pretty and radiant with her sparkly headband and soft, fluffy curls. Headbands are a popular accessory at the moment, whether you wear an elegant headband like Anika, or a hippy headband like a patterned scarf. They’re also a stylish and easy way to keep your hair tamed!

48. Zoe Saldana African American Hairstyle: Long, side-swept fringe

Zoe Saldana embraces the side-swept hair trend and goes all out with a long, wavy side-swept fringe. The asymmetry of this hairstyle draws attention away from her length of her face, and accentuates her lips and eyes. This is a pretty yet bold up’do that is easy to recreate at home.

49. Tiffany Hines African American Hairstyle: Asymmetrical bob with flippy bangs

Actress Tiffany Hines looks stunning with her short, asymmetrical bob. We particularly love her flippy bangs that skim over her eyes and give her hairstyle a dynamic edge. Finish off this look with a few highlights to brighten up your hair colour.

50. Beyonce African American Hairstyle: Huge box braid topknot

We simply love this look on Beyonce! She looks phenomenal with her box braids in a huge, gravity-defying topknot. It’s quite tricky to keep everything in place, so make sure you secure your braids properly once you’ve wrapped them up into a top-knot. Also, bear in mind box braids can be bulky and heavy, so don’t wear them up for hours on end.

    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!
