Hair Raising: Iconic Women Who Changed the Standard for Black Hair

Brandy

Another shocker, right!? Well, don’t be surprised. Back in the early ’90s when Brandy became the new sweetheart and household name thanks to her musical talents and TV show, she ushered back in the braids of yesteryear. Micros, box braids, braids in all kinds of shades–she was pretty much doing it all. I can’t tell you how many people came to school back in junior high with her same exact braids thinking they were toooooo cute. Homegirl was the queen of protective styling (and bankhead bouncing) and she easily found a way to make her braids more fun by contorting them in different designs and shapes. Loved it!
