As natural hair becomes more and more acceptable in today’s society, celebrities are no longer limiting themselves to their flowing, sleek Peruvian weaves. In the last few years, we’ve seen celebrities embrace the big hair trend, whether in the form of wigs and clip on’s or by growing their own natural hairs. We love this liberating movement and have listed our best celebs in massive afros.


1. Kuli Roberts


The feisty Kuli Roberts has added big afros to her hair collection. Here, she dons a Badu afro wig that complements her larger than life personality.


2. Nomzamo Mbatha

Nomzamo has made this her go-to hairstyle and we love it. While everything looks great on her, we love this look the most. This hair can either be worn as a wig or sewed in as a weave.


3. Simphiwe Dana


Simphiwe Dana is never without her signature look – her stunning crinkled afro. She makes big hair look too sexy!


4. Zahara

For the longest of time, the jury was out, on whether this is really Zahara’s natural hair. Like you, we thought it was clip ons until the songstress posted this picture of herself with her hairstylist shutting the hair critics.

Are you a believer now?


5. Pabi Moloi


Pabi also tried the big hair look and we must say, she was an even yummier mom-to-be. Pabi rocked a wig similar to herTrending SA co-host, Kuli Roberts’.


6. Ayanda Thabethe


Ayanda loves her synthetic afro style and often goes back to this hot look. She simply adds synthetic strands to her already beautiful natural hair and slays on end.


7. Nomalanga Shozi


If you’re growing your afro, then Nomalanga’s afro should definitely be on your hair goals list. Many fail to believe that this is all the stunning actress’ hair, but best believe it, because it is!


8. Pearl Thusi


“I thought creating my own hair care line was beyond me.” Model, presenter and actress Pearl Thusi recently launched her hair care line, Black Pearl. She tells us more about it.

It’s refreshing to see celebrities wearing their natural hair proudly and occasionally swapping the weaves with this hair style.
