Celebs SAMAs Hair

The chilly season is upon us, and with it, comes the need to change our hairstyles. Get your inspiration from these looks that celebs rocked to the SAMAs.

A weave, attached using fusion instead of sewing, works best for ladies with short hair but want length, like actress Amanda. Fusion and infusion installed weaves will give you the most natural looking style. The weave is not a weft, but single hair strands that you attach to your hair. This will allow you to leave your natural hair and hairline out all around your head, giving you the freedom to style your hair up or down.

Colouring your hair is as great as applying red lipstick – it’s timeless. Dye your hair to a warm colour shade, like cherry, maroon, red and rich tones of brown. Add character by giving it a fade on the sides or front.

Weaves are one of the best protection hairstyles because they allow your natural hair to get a break from combing and using excessive heat. Just like Denise, your hairstyle can go from long to short in a snap, thanks to weaves. The latest trend is an ombre finish.

Songstress LeAnne’s face is oval shaped, which is the most common and easiest to style. Give your hair a side parting, with a low ponytail.

Lerato is a girl that seldom rocks short weaves. This fringe suits her. Choose this style if you want to keep your hair textured naturally. A lace front with a fringe is great because the lace extension can be sewed in or attached to a person’s hairline with a glue. To ensure a proper fit, take your head measurements.

A blow-out is a great technique to stretch your hair if you rock it natural, just like Nandi. Applying heat to the hair will stretch it out, allowing you to style it as you please. The great thing about this is the fact that a simple wash will have your hair back to natural without any chemicals.

Pearl Thusi will forever be the girl with gorgeous hair that can be styled in a thousand ways. To achieve this look, add hair extension to your ponytail for length and volume.

Simphiwe shows us what it means to go BIG. Big hair is great for winter because it protects your growth, and it looks fabulous with hats and accessories. The bigger the curls, the better.
