Solange: 12 Months, 12 Hairstyles

Solange is one of our favorite curly girls, and this year, we saw the chic star constantly change up her look. Some days, she wore her own kinky coils, while on others she rocked a full head of spiraled extensions. Here's the year in review for Solange's ever-evolving hairstyles.
