81. Joan Smalls African American Hairstyle: Perfect wet-look ‘do

Supermodel Joan Smalls looks superb with her slicked back, wet-look ‘do. We love the contrast between the “wet” and dry textures of her poker-straight hair, and her minimal makeup. To get flawless wet-look hair, use strong styling gel on the top section of your head and blow-dry carefully to keep hair in place.

82. Gabrielle Union African American Hairstyle: Loose fishtail plait

Actress Gabrielle Union wears her glossy, two-tone hair in an unstructured fishtail plait. We love how she’s given this trending hairstyle a new edge with a few strands of highlighted hair twisted into her plait. She wears her plait to one side, creating a cute, asymmetrical hairstyle.

83. Solange Knowles African American Hairstyle: Two-strand twists

Solange Knowles never fails to impress with her amazing choice in hairstyles. Here she wears her hair in thick, two-strand twists that look amazing in motion (check out some pictures of her live performances where her braids are flying around her head – amazing!). These braids may be bulky but they’re easy to install and remove.

84. Zoe Saldana African American Hairstyle: Chic chignon

Zoe Saldana looks chic and elegant with her elaborately coiffed chignon. This classic hairstyle is an extremely popular formal up’do for 2013, with its timeless glamour. Zoe wears her chignon to the side at the nape of her neck, with soft, structured curls framing her face on the other side.

85. Rihanna African American Hairstyle: Messy up’do with long, side-swept bangs

Rihanna looks super cool with her messy-yet-stylish up’do. We love her hair colour – beachy blonde highlights with dark blonde underneath. This is a great everyday style for long hair, and it works well on bad hair days too. Pair your up’do with some dark sunnies and you’re good to go!

86. Tyra Banks African American Hairstyle: Poker-straight with blunt bangs

Former supermodel and talk show host Tyra Banks looks smoking hot with her poker-straight hair and blunt bangs. We’re pretty sure that she’s wearing one of her trademark lace-front wigs, and it suits her look perfectly. Lace-front wigs allow you to change your look dramatically, without any permanent consequences.

87. Brandy African American Hairstyle: Sexy spring twists

Singer Brandy Norwood delighted us with her amazingly long spring twists. Spring twists are usually worn short, but Brandy shows us that they can look amazing long too. We’re also excited that Brandy seems to be transitioning into natural hair – be sure to keep an eye on her in 2014!

88. Regina Hall African American Hairstyle: Low ponytail with tousled bangs

American actress Regina Hall looks pretty and poised with her elegant low ponytail. We’re super envious of her sleek, shiny hair and her perfectly straight, side-swept bangs. To get your hair this shiny, invest in deep conditioning hair treatments and a shine enhancing hairspray.

89. Thandie Newton African American Hairstyle: Deep side-parting

Actress Thandie Newton wears her hair in a dramatic, deep side-parting with hair swept to the side. We love the contrast between her cascading curls and her bare neck, as well as her hot pink lipstick. Side partings are flattering for most face shapes, as they create the illusion of a more elongated, slimmer face.

90. Rihanna African American Hairstyle: Cleopatra bob

Rihanna looks smoldering hot with her blunt, Cleopatra-inspired bob. This chin-length hairstyle is full of attitude, and we love how mysterious RiRi looks with her long, straight bangs. This style works best with straight, fine hair, but you can also use heat styling to tame your wavy or curly hair.

    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!
