Lupita Nyong’o

Leave it to Lupita to liven up the red carpet! Last night the 31-year-old Oscar winner rocked her natural curls and we couldn’t get enough of it. It was big, bold, and beautiful—all the makings of a perfectly neat tapered afro. Tip: To keep dryness at bay and to detangle with ease, try ORS’s Monoi Oil Anti-Breakage Leave-In Conditioning Creme.

Curly hairstyles are always hot on the red carpet, and Quvenzhané’s curls were ones to covet. The young star took the style up a notch and had her bouncy curls cascade down her left side. Looking for heat protection without flakes or buildup when creating the look? We like Mizani Iron Curl Heat Styling Cream for maximum hold and shine.
