While we’re into watching Serena Williams dominate tennis courts and motherhood, we’ve always been obsessed with her dominating some fierce, full body hairstyles. Williams is a versatile beauty maven, have rocked sleek, blonde, black, textured, and braided styles, though our favorite looks from her are the high texture and high volume.
Aside from being super chic, the looks are also super practical for on-the-go lives or even for someone who is an athlete themselves. If you’re looking for a cute summer style, take notes from our sis, Williams, by clicking through the gallery ahead.

Sleek Volume
