As October marks Black History Month, we thought we'd take the opportunity to celebrate and highlight our favourite black female celebrities and their beautiful hairstyles (as if we really need an excuse?!).
Read on to see the hairstyles (past and present) we can't get enough of!
Issa Rae's Simple Plaits
We just love Issa Rae's stylish and simple, single plaits for her Bustle shoot. The look taps into a 90s vibe, while also being a protective hairstyle.

Michaela Coel's Bantu Puffs
We're huge fans of I May Destroy You and we're even bigger fans of Michaela's modern take on Bantu knots for British GQ.
Editor's tip: Bantu knots are not only a great hairstyle but also are perfect for stretching your hair!

Kelly Rowland's Faux Locs
We had to double take when we saw one of Kelly Rowland's latest hairstyles. The faux locs look great and make for a pretty protective style for the colder months.

Editor's tip: Want to make your curls pop like Kerry's? Get maximum moisture for easy manipulation of the hair and close your hair cuticles to retain maximum moisture with Smooth, our moisturising hair cream. It's also great as a leave-in conditioner.
Lauryn Hill's Locs
We couldn't resist putting in a throwback in our line up! And so we picked Lauryn Hill's beautiful locs circa The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
