Ciara is truly one of the most versatile stars in the entire industry. Just weeks after shocking fans with white and platinum locks in support of her intergalactic tour alongside Missy Elliot and Busta Rhymes, the singer is back with a novel look – demure, elementary and one of her most stunning of all time. In a sweet, adorably vulnerable photo posted to her Instagram, Ciara’s natural curls – and that of her six-month-old daughter Amora – take center stage, a luscious, voluminous wave of curls falling over her shoulders. As she explains to you in the caption, she’s currently in the “supple girl era,” fueled by the next chapter of motherhood. Therefore, her perfectly formed spirals and curls look extremely dazzling.
But it’s not just about that stunning texture. In the photo, you can see that Ciara has cut her tiny, wispy bangs, which highlight and accentuate the curls around her face. With a mid-part and long layers, the fringe gives her hair a sophisticated, almost retro feel. The incredibly versatile superstar is of course no stranger to all kinds of bangs, but there’s something unique and refreshing about seeing them cut into her natural (and incredibly healthy-looking) locks.
Her fans flocked to the comments to rave about both her lucid feelings about motherhood in general and her hair, with several followers noting that the curls worked beautifully with her sculpted cheekbones and defined jawline. She’s worn her hair curly and wavy in public countless times, but she usually sticks to much longer hairstyles – usually at least down to her waist – which made this shoulder-length hairstyle something completely novel for her. The “How We Roll” singer also likes the look and posts another series of photos showing off her hair in a different setting and a chic, sensual outfit.
Although they are absolutely timeless by nature, curly bangs are having a particularly radiant moment right now. Regina King sewed a longer pair in her natural spirals for a special Louis Vuitton runway presentation in behind schedule April, and Cardi B took things to a frigid, bold extreme by wearing a supersized ensemble woven into her modernized mullet.
All the ways to create curly bangs only prove their power – all you need is a moisturizing curl cream and the right stylist with scissors.
