Epic Fro: Janelle Monae

Epic Fro: Janelle Monae





Janelle Monae is most recognizable for her fabulous naturally textured pompadour (top poof) hairdo. I like how she wears a unique hairstyle and doesn't follow trends.

Her fashion style is equally a lovely stand out. She often rocks crisp, tailored menswear influenced clothing and looks very elegant and chic.

Her personal style is truly her own and she is setting trends because of it!

Epic Fro: Solange Knowles

You gotta admire Solange’s courage for going natural. She is in the public eye, which is a very critical eye. She is a singer, so she has to be looking on-point and everything. I remember seeing her on Oprah a few years ago when she decided to do the big chop and she had super short hair. She talked about how she was ready to do that because at that point in her life she felt she wanted that kind of change for various reasons. 

She talked about the thousands of the dollars spent, I think somewhere around $40,000 + per year, maintaining just her hair. Ouch, says the wallet! I was floored but I thought it was cool that she didn’t mind going against the grain and being herself. I think it’s cool anytime regular women or female celebrities want to change up their look and look closer to their own natural self rather than looking all glitzy, made up and fake. Kudos to Solange for keeping it real and natural!

Epic Fro: Eryka Badu

You gotta love Ms. Badu’s daring hairstyles, from the matted, so wrong they’re right ponytails that she has sported to the fantastical fros. I admire her ability to take risks with her different looks and not care what other people think or say. She should be the example that all of us look to when we think about finding inspiration in defying hairstyle norms and go for something very daring and unique.
