Behold, The Boldest Hair Colors Seen At The 2022 Grammys

Black girls with colored hair ruled the star-studded evening. Here are our favorites.
Black Girls With Colored Hair Ruled The 2022 Grammys
By Blake Newby · Updated April 4, 2022

Let’s make one thing clear: Black girls with colored hair always reign supreme. Last night, at the 2022 Grammy Awards, things were no different. While many were in awe of the vibrant shades of the designer silhouettes that dominated the carpet — from Billy Porter in hot pink Valentino, to H.E.R. in a Dreamsicle-hued Peter Dundas jumpsuit — our eyes were on the textured tresses and the dynamic hairstyles that accompanied them. Saweetie, who for the first time ever wore her pixie cut on a red carpet, one she died a silver-ish glow, to Jamaican dancehall queen Spice, who wore a vibrant, tousled teal bun, vivid strands were the true victors of last night’s happenings. But don’t just take our word for it — ahead, a selection of queens whose hair colors will leave you with some new hair inspo, and a reason to hit up your hairstylist ASAP.

Article continues after video.

Spring is practically here, isn’t it? Why not add something new to your look?

Purple here, purple everywhere! Singer and songwriter Yola upped the ante on her textured ‘do with the addition of a magenta and pink hue to match her eyeshadow and fit.

Spice
If there was anyone we’d expected to arrive at the Grammy’s with bold, teal hair, it’d be Spice. The tousled bun played marvelously off of her sheer, sequined down and coral tulle robe.
