We are in the midst of a natural hair revolution right now and we can’t be more thrilled! It’s always a stunning sight when a Black celebrity shows off her afro-textured hair on the red carpet — and more and more of them are doing it these days. But you know what’s even better than a Black celeb embracing her natural hair? A Black celeb embracing her natural hair AND empowering others to do the same.

So if you’re thinking of going natural as well, know that you are in fabulous company — think Zendaya, Rihanna, and Yara Shahidi, among other beautiful Black women. Take a style cue from these ladies for all the afro hair inspo you need. From TWAs to longer afros, loose to updos, take a look at some really great styles below.

Tracee Ellis Ross looks fabulous wearing her hair down to her shoulders in big poofy curls. It’s no surprise the actress has hair this gorgeous as she’s a champion for natural curls — she even has a haircare line especially for afro-textured tresses.
