8 Moments That Put Natural Hair in the Spotlight in 2016
Beyoncé's Celebration of Baby Hairs and Afros
Beyonce's 2016 release, Lemonade, is full to the brim of #BlackGirlMagic moments, and the visual for her lead single "Formation" set the unapologetic tone for the rest of the album.
Having previously dealt with derogatory comments made about how she chooses to style her daughter, Blue Ivy's hair in an Afro, Beyoncé shut down the naysayers with an empowered response that saw her singing about her love of "Baby Hair and Afros," paired with scenes of Blue Ivy and some playmates rocking their sweet little Afros!
The video also featured several prominent young black women wearing their hair out and proud, including artists Halle and Chloe who wear their hair in dreadlocks, and activist and actress Amandla Stenberg who's famed for her gorgeous Afro.
