SZA is what creative dreams are made of. In addition to dreamy vocals and a style that’s all her own, the Grammy-nominated singer totally owns her beauty looks. While her makeup and skin is typically glowy and bright, it’s her hair that always grabs (and holds) our attention. 

From Fulani braids, to a Pepper Ann-esque TWA, the woman is not afraid to switch it up. Her fearlessness and versatility inspires us to take risks with our own hair! Here, we’ve rounded up the looks that prove she is an absolute hair goddess.
