Micro Braid extensions:

When Destiny’s Child became a trio in 2001, the teenage Beyonce opted to celebrate by having more fun—as a blonde.

Rather than bleaching her hair, she had honey-blonde extensions micro-braided in at the roots, leaving the lengths out in tight curls. When your hair is this beautiful, soft smokey eyes and pink lips are all you need.

The golden girl:

She abandoned the braids and embraced her inner Pam Grier with a curly afro and some kickass action skills for her 2002 theatrical feature debut as Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Beyoncé embraced the gold motif, as seen by the gilded eye makeup, gold-tinted lip gloss, and sparkling embroidery

Curls at 365 degrees:

Who was the winner of the 2013 Super Bowl? We’re fairly convinced Yonce and her Destiny’s Child pals annihilated the halftime show. She shined with classic sooty eyes, high-gloss pink lips, and a sensual leather bodysuit, but her massive head of soft curls that looked beautiful from every angle was the true MVP. (Even Alec Baldwin noticed, accusing her mane of being responsible for the tragic blackout.) “Destiny’s Child blew out the power with their curling irons,” his father joked on Twitter. Kimberly Kimble, Beyoncé’s hair stylist, did use a curling wand before brushing out the spirals, smoothing them with shine serum, and finishing the style with a big ol’ cloud of L’Oréal Paris’ Elnett hair spray.
