Taraji P. Henson has been serving us look after look after going red at the top of the year, and we simply can’t get enough!

The actress first popped up on the scene with crimson curls back in February. Little did we know, Henson would go on to unleash endless different styles in this fiery new hue. From box braids and passion twists to sky-high afros and playful buns, there hasn’t been a single look Henson pulled off this year that didn’t make us do a double-take.

Not only has Henson, who just turned 50 and fabulous, had fun experimenting with this fun new color – she’s also spent quarantine filming natural hair tutorials for her followers using her line of TPH By Taraji products. We’ve seen her twist, deep condition, and lay edges like nobody’s business. The results always yielded healthy, happy curls. We see you, queen!

Scroll through the gallery to see all the times Taraji’s hair had us on red alert in 2020.
