Actress Lupita Nyong’o is a stunner on her own, but her hair has been my favorite accessory of hers for 2018. The 35-year-old actress has been turning heads on the red carpet with her stylish natural and protective hairstyles and has been open about her hair being “shunned” in Hollywood. As a 4B/4C natural, her ever-changing hairstyles have inspired some new looks from me. Whether it’s ombré bantu knots or side swept twists, I’m here for all of the creative styles. Most of this year she has been working with celebrity hairstylist, Vernon Francois, who has been doing her hair for a while now. Francois is also knowing for caring for the tresses of Tracee Ellis Ross, Amandla Stenberg, and Danai Gurira (oh, no big deal). Check out our favorite natural hair moments from Lupita Nyong’o for 2018!

There is nothing like a protective style that you can wear out and about before taking it out (to create an entirely new style). Lupita Nyong’o smiled on the carpet at the 22nd Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards in New York City back in June 2018.

Lupita Nyong’o looks like a black fairy at Chopard’s Secret Night during Cannes Film Festival. I love the multiple bubble ponytails that look like plaits in her hair (but with more volume). So ethereal!

Lupita Nyong’o attends the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards at Museum of Modern Art in November while in NYC. I’m loving this braided pompadour where she snuck in some extra hair to give her existing hair some more volume.

Take your braids and turn it into a braided updo. It’s all about positioning with a protective style! The Black Panther star looked absolutely regal at the 10th Annual Govenors Awards hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

We’ve already told you it was all about metallics in 2018 and we love how Lupita Nyong’o incorporated the trend into her hair! She arrived at the 7th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at NASA Ames Research Center in November looking like an award herself.

Lupita Nyong’o visited SiriusXM Studios back in May and showed off her kinky curly hair texture. She adorned her style with some gold hairclips. The best part of the look is from the side (see next slide), as a part can make all the difference.
