2018 was a year where fashion and beauty gave you the polar opposites: it was either encouraging you to lean into your authentic self, with minimal alteration of your hair and makeup OR giving you all the necessary supplies to create an aspirational and out of this world look. It was so pleasing to see so many black celebrities rocking their natural hairstyles on the red carpet and making protective styles priority. Taking care of your natural hair doesn’t have to be boring and straight isn’t the only sexy style. Keep clicking for our favorite natural hair looks on the red carpet for 2018.
