Why:

#10: Tichina Arnold

Where: The Trump International Hotel in New York City.


Why: Arnold opted for a cute, crimped bob with lots of shine and shakeable body. This is a fun, flirty ’do just in time for spring.

05
#9: Regina King

Where: A visit to Good Day LA to talk about her show, Southland.


Why: King added a youthful twist to the typical bob with wispy, side-swept bangs and an deep ebony hue.

06
#8: Ashanti

Where: A visit to Power 99 FM Radio Station in Bala Cynwyd, PA.


Why: Ashanti took her hair to new heights in a sleek, high ponytail — a sexy ’do that never goes out of style.

07
#7: Zoe Saldana

Where: The “Hollywood Reporter & Jimmy Choo Inaugural 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon” in West Hollywood.


Why: Saldana opted for a casual, softly-curled look that’s full of body and shine.

08
#6: Vanessa Williams

Where: The Fashion Group International’s “Meet the Designer & the Muse” event in Los Angeles.


Why: Williams’ amber-hued spirals are easy yet elegant. A chic center part lets her voluminous curls frame her face beautifully.

09
#5: First Lady Michelle Obama

Where: A state dinner in Washington, DC.


Why: Mrs. O is the epitome of elegance in a smooth, chic updo. The Chicago hair scene is known for creating lush, layered hairstyles and we love how First Lady Obama displays her hometown trend.

10
#4: Tichina Arnold

Where: A visit to the ESSENCE office in New York City


Why: Arnold’s sexy, side-swept bang and loose chingnon make for a fresh take on the basic bang and bun.

11
#3: KeKe Palmer

Where: The 2012 Nickelodeon Upfront presentation in New York City.


Why: Palmer is all grown up and showing that she’s coming into her own when it comes to hair and beauty. We love her soft waves and subtle highlights.

12
#2: June Ambrose

Where: The Styled By June premiere at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City.


Why: Ambrose has been on top of her fashion game for decades, and these long, sexy waves prove that she is on top of her hair game, too.

13
#1: Deborah Cox

Where: The Styled By June premiere at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City.


Why: Cox’s highlights are everything fabulous, and her blunt-cut bob looks so modern and sophisticated.
