What is hair? We all know what it is scientifically. But emotionally, hair is so much more.
It’s part of who we are, how we’re feeling and what’s happening in our lives – whether it’s good or bad. It’s a visible crown that becomes part of our identity. It helps influence the way we define ourselves or the person we want to create.
From cutting our own fringes as kids (eek!), to going to the salon after a breakup, we’ve all had a journey with our hair. Are you ready for the next destination on your hair journey? Let Mzansi’s biggest celebs inspire you!
NHLANHLA NCIZA
SHORT HAIR
Playful short hair is a fresh change for Nhlanhla who usually rocks a variety of wigs. This stylish short do suits her profile perfectly and it’s easy to maintain. It is the perfect get-up-and-go look for a busy celeb like her.
BOLD BLONDE
Nhlanhla often surprises us with her daring blonde wigs and it works every time. The blonde shade beautifully complements her skin tone, and she keeps her outfit simple in colours that blend in with the wig. She’s not afraid to switch it up on and off the stage!
POLISHED PONYTAIL
Super-sleek and lustrous, this hairstyle shows off her beautiful face and enviable jawline. It is sophisticated and elegant, just like Nhlanhla.
GLOWING NEON
Only for the brave! Bright coloured neon hair is not for the faint-hearted. Nhlanhla often experiments with neon colours and has loads of fun in the process. This youthful look turns heads wherever she goes!
PEARL THUSI
KINKY AFRO
This is Pearl’s trademark look; her natural hair is a curly Afro with a soft frizz. Pearl is so passionate about this look that she produced her own natural hair products range called AfroBotanics, which help with the treatment and maintenance of natural hair.
BOX BRAIDS
Pearl knows how to rock these cool jumbo twists. Thick braids are not for everyone but are worth trying if you’re looking for something low maintenance. These types of braids are also friendly to your hair and scalp, because they are actually crocheted twists that are sewn into your natural hair, compared to regular braids where your hair roots are plaited together with the braids.
TIGHT BUN
For Pearl, an up-do is never a bad idea, especially when she’s about to hit the red carpet. This stylish hairstyle makes her beautiful eyes stand out and accentuates her strong cheekbones.
LONG WIG
Not very often would you see Pearl in long or straight hair, but when she decides to take that route, she looks absolutely stunning. This look gives her hair a bit of extra length and shows off her neckline beautifully.
NOMZAMO MBATHA
NATURAL STYLING
She’s part of the ‘keep it natural’ hair movement and there’s no doubt that Nomzamo has a gorgeous and healthy mane. She’s quite experimental in her hairstyling and shows off interesting African plaiting techniques and accessories.
FAUX LOCS
Not everyone has the patience to wait for dreadlocks to grow, therefore we can opt for faux locs. You can wear faux locs for any occasion, whether it’s a casual or formal event. It’s a basic and simple hairstyle to handle and similar to having long braids.
SLICKED BACK
Nomzamo’s pushed back hairstyle is similar to a low bun at the front, but has long, curly and voluminous hair extension at the back. She loves this look for formal events; it is sleek and sophisticated in front but there is loads of puffy fun at the back.
SOFT DREADS
Big hair, don’t care! Soft dread hair extensions and wigs are the ultimate go-to for anyone looking for big, bold hair with lots of curls. They suit Nomzamo very well and are in line with her natural hair trend.
LINDA MTOBA
CURLY BOB
Linda is exceptionally beautiful and does not need to try very hard with her looks. She particularly loves this curly bob and it certainly suits her face profile very well. She always rounds the look off with long eyelashes and bold brows.
CORNROW BRAIDS
Most of the time Linda looks glam and perfectly put together. But there are times when she dresses casually and goes for a much simpler and toned down look. Here she styles thin cornrows with a middle parting, which shows off her striking beauty and flawless skin.
PLATINUM BLONDE
Blonde wigs are always fun to play with. Linda likes to try out different styles whenever she can. She goes for blonde wigs when she’s travelling overseas and sometimes when she’s on the red carpet. No matter what the occasion, this fashion queen always looks on-point!
LONG CURL
This is one of Linda’s favourite hairdos; she enjoys long, wavy curls. We’ve seen her through so many hair transformations – she’s definitely a celebrity to keep an eye on for hair journey inspiration.
Enjoy your new fresh look, show it off and have fun. If you’re feeling extra bold, you can also experiment with new make-up colours and different outfits. This is the beginning of a new you!
