A Tribute To Tracee Ellis Ross' Biggest and Boldest Hair Moments

Tracee Ellis Ross is the "girlfriend" (pun intended) we all wish we had. Beyond the tremendous support she always shows her peers, the actress has an infectious sense of humor, killer fashion sense and hair that we can stare at all day. The 'Black-ish' star undoubtedly has one of the most iconic manes in Hollywood and with her birthday coming up this weekend (October 29), we're reminded of just how glorious her crown truly is. Seriously, when has Ross' curly coif not been epic?! Spoiler alert: never! Take a look back at some of her biggest, poofiest and prettiest hair moments on the red carpet.
