From the gorgeous faux locs she rocked at the 87th Academy Awards to her whimsical ‘fro from the 2017 MET Gala, Zendaya is not one to stray away from any style. She is a style icon for many reasons, and has inspired others to try out her bold and eye-catching looks for themselves. If you’ve always wanted to recreate one of Zendaya’s hairstyles, look no further. Learn how to create some of her iconic looks below!
Voluminous Curls
Who doesn’t love a head full of big curls! Zendaya is known for her curls, but she elevated them by adding more volume to this look. To achieve this style you will need:
- Curling iron
- Blow dryer
- Hairspray
- Hair clips
- Hair pick
First, start by applying a heat protectant and blowing out your hair so your tresses are stretched when creating your curls. Next, section your hair using your hair clips. Then, start with one section and grab a piece of your hair to curl with the curling iron. Make sure the curls are not too loose. After curling each section, take your hair pick to add volume to your roots. Apply your choice of hairspray to give the curls staying power, and you’re all done!
You can also achieve this look by installing some curly bundles!
Half-Up, Half-Down
Zendaya absolutely slayed this high ponytail with loose curls! If you’re in need of a look for your next event or birthday, this is definitely a cute style to try. To achieve this look you will need:
- Straight bundles
- Blow dryer
- Curling iron
- Heat protectant
- Smoothing brush
- Paddle brush
- Gel
- Hair tie
First, start by blowing out your hair so it will blend with the texture of the bundles. Make sure to apply a heat protectant on your tresses before you start blow-drying your hair. After your hair is blown out, apply a light layer of gel and smooth your hair back into a high ponytail. Next, attach the bundles to your hair and wrap a strand around your hair tie to conceal the weft. Then, take a section at a time from your ponytail and start curling it with your iron. Once your ponytail is all curled, brush through it to make the curls looser and you’re all set!
Whimsical ‘Fro
Zendaya made a statement at the MET Gala when it came to this look. She showcased the beauty of natural hair by rocking her blown-out natural hair on the carpet. To recreate this look you will need:
- Blow dryer
- Brush
- Heat protectant
- Hair clips
Start off on freshly washed hair and part your hair into manageable sections using your hair clips. Take one section and apply your heat protectant to it. Then get your blow dryer and hairbrush and start stretching each section until it’s completely blown out. Continue this process with each section of your hair until your hair is all stretched. Voila! You have now achieved Zendaya’s whimsical ‘fro hairstyle.
