Solange is an award-winning artist whose style is absolutely unmatched in the industry. While her fashion choices are more than enough to keep us double-tapping, she also always makes sure that her mane makes a statement of its own too.

This wasn't the first time Solange had us celebrating the marvelous things women of colour can do with their hair. She has been box braid goals since 2012.

She makes maintaining a 'fro look easy.

So ethereal. So dreamy.

They said leave teased hair in the '80s, but the rules don't apply to Soly.

Curly bangs? We like.

The Knowles sister who blessed us with Cranes in the Sky continues to prove that there's no such thing as too many hairclips.

And now she's gone blonde and I didn't know it was even possible to be more in awe of her beauty until now.
