Have you ever looked at some of our local
celebrities and thought that you would love to have their hairstyle or try some
of their hair colour ideas? Maybe the style seemed too complicated, or you
assumed it took a whole team of professionals to make them look that amazing.
Well, today I want to show you a few easy everyday hairstyles inspired by our
local celebrities that you can try at home. I’m talking fades, buns, braids and
more. Not to mention that there is a way for all of us to jazz these super easy
hairstyles up with a few hair colour ideas!

Nandi
Mngoma – Hi-Top Fade
Who doesn’t love Nandi and her unique
hairstyles? The hi-top fade was first introduced during the early 90’s in the
United States, where men predominantly wore the style, but Nandi shows us
ladies how to rock the style in a sexy and ultra feminine way. This is a
definite easy go-to style for all my sisters out there that want to rock it
natural, short and fierce. Visit your local barber and ask he or she to bless
you with their sheers and hook you up with the Nandi Mngoma cut!

Pearl
Thusi – Topknot Bun
Who doesn’t long for Pearl Thusi’s thick
mane of hair? If you are blessed with thick and long natural hair like Pearl ,
you can go ahead and create this style by putting all of your hair into a high
ponytail at the top of your head. Be sure that the ponytail isn’t too tight.
Wrap the tail of the hair around the ponytail to create a bun as tight or as
loose as you would like and secure with hairpins.
Add
a hairpiece!
If you don’t have the natural length of
hair to achieve this look, opt for attaching synthetic braiding hair to your
natural ponytail and wrapping around to form a chic topknot bun. This look is
easy and appropriate for any occasion.

Minnie
Dlamini – Box Braids
Box braids have been around forever and
they tend to be almost every woman’s go to hairstyle. Sitting in the salon
chair with 2 people braiding your hair at the same time for 4 or more hours is
a daunting task, but the outcome is always stunning.

Style your box braids with
a half up and half down look like Minnie, try a box braid bang or accessorise
with a beautiful scarf.
Anele
Mdoda – Straight Backs
If you are a busy host, radio dj and mum
like Anele Mdoda, straight back braids are the way to go. They are easy to
maintain and you can make them as thick or thin as you like. The best part is
that this east everyday hairstyle can last you up to two months. To jazz up
this hairstyle a bit, you could add a different colour synthetic braiding hair
to give it a fresh and funky look.
As you can see, looking like a star doesn’t
have to be so hard.
