The article originally appeared in MIMI.

Lupita Nyong’o is in the midst of a hair journey, and we’re loving every minute of it. The Oscar-winning actress typically wears her locks short, but she appeared to be growing them out when she hopped on Instagram and posted a photo of herself with full curls.

Cut to a few days later, and Nyong’o once again took to Instagram, this time posting a photo of herself with some added length to her hair. While the image is slightly blurry, Nyong’o’s braid is expertly done, and paired with that baseball hat it’s a pretty cute look.
