Sanaa Lathan’s new Instagram post is giving us all the hair-spiration we needed to close out the week.
The “Nappily Ever Actress” famously shaved her head in the film and made headlines as she proudly rocked her cropped look. Three years later, Lathan is debuting a full and lengthy head of hair. Her secret? Meticulous hair care and lots of patience.
“Three years after shaving it off,” Lathan captioned a photo of herself rocking her natural hair. “Protective styles, braids and almost no heat.”
After the movie wrapped, Lathan fully embraced her new cut. The gorgeous actress rocked it to the Nappily Ever After premiere and even did a photoshoot showing off her short ‘do.

Keep the hair tips coming, queen!
