You'll Want Faux Locs After Seeing These Pictures of Rihanna

There are many reasons to love Rihanna, but her ability to lead and sometimes start trends is unmatched. The singer's hair journey over the past decade has included more styles, colors and cuts than we can count, but as of late, her faux locs have been a favorite amongst fans. Swinging to and fro, from the set of 'Ocean's 8' to late night dinners, Rih continues to make a case for the style we're so ready to wear this winter. If you need inspiration to do the same or simply love Rihanna as much as us, take in all of the faux loc slayage below.
