Kelly Rowland

After:
Kelly Rowland is the real black Barbie, and she doesn’t need long hair to prove it. After giving birth to her son, Titan, Kelly finessed her motherhood glow with shoulder length hair. But now that she’s on her Whoa Baby! book tour, Kelly decided to switch it up with a wavy bob accompanied with bangs. This new look frames Kelly’s face to perfection!
Nicki Minaj
Before:
After:
Nicki has had one jam-packed 2017 already. From dropping her deadweight boyfriend, Meek Mill, to (barely) dodging the heat of the century from Remy Ma, Nicki has been able to keep it on cute through it all. The rapper went on a trip to the Caribbean with her girls for her birthday earlier this year and slayed with a cornrowed updo. Then, she had us all gag collectively when she not only dropped three tracks in one night, but dropped her weave down to 30 inches of Indian straight slayage.
Gabrielle Union
Before:
After:
Gabrielle Union knows how to make hubby Dwayne Wade and her followers do a double take with her impeccable beauty, grace and ever-changing hairstyles. This year, the Being Mary Jane actress decided to wear her natural hair in spiral curls and the internet went bananas.
Kerry Washington
Before:
After:
If you’re a Kerry Washington fan (who isn’t?), you’ve probably seen her sport long, cushiony curls that would make you search for the nearest sugar daddy to buy you a pack of bundles. If that’s not an option for you, Kerry graced us with an alternative look that perfectly fit her heart-shaped face. The Olivia Pope actress appeared at the PGA Awards in a bone straight chin-length bob that made her fans gush that it was the definition of beauty. We couldn’t agree more.
