Even Beyoncé knows that the way to a glam hairstyle is with length. After parting her hair off-center, she slicked it down into a low side ponytail filled with luscious waves. The base was wrapped with a section of hair for a detail that pulled the look together.

2. Box Braids

If you’re a woman of color, you’ve probably rocked box braids at one time or another. Beyoncé’s combination of long straight braids and half-braids ensured her curly texture could still shine through.

3. High Messy Bun

You might’ve thought a messy bun was for casual days, but Beyoncé proved it could also be classy in these promotional photos. Her thick bun was teased for volume and used thick sections of wavy hair near the face to keep the style soft.

4. Lemonade Braids

When it comes to cornrows, many women opt for the simple ‘straight back’ look starting from their hairline. Beyoncé’s hairstyle showed how sexy curled or swirled-shaped cornrows can be, choosing to weave in gold extensions as well. Brush baby hairs smooth for the finishing detail.

5. Curly Half Ponytail
