1. Her dookie braids – need we say anymore

2. She even slays retro curls

Okay, we can’t take any more, is there a style Ciara can’t slay? From poker-straight tresses, protective hairstyles and even updos, Ciara can now add curls to her mane résumé.

Totally transforming her look over the festive period, Ciara channelled Jennifer Beals from the 1980’s iconic movie Flashdance by wearing her dark tresses in tight curls – bangs and all. Credit: @ciara

Editor’s tip: If you’re thinking of curling your tresses just like Ciara, be sure to arm yourself with the VO5 Heat Protect Serum, as this will not only will this protect hair from heat, but will help smooth frizz, too!

3. She constantly switches up her style

Throwing it back to the ’60s, Ciara added dramatic length to her raven tresses which she styled in a sky-high pony.

Ensuring her lengthy tresses didn’t look flat, Ciara add tonnes of va-va-volume to the lengths of her hair by curling the ends. Thanks for the tip! Credit: @ciara

4. She mastered the messy bun

Whether it’s for a red carpet appearance or casually lounging around in your robe (as you do), Ciara loves to style her tresses in an updo – and her go-to style is utterly envy-inducing.

Wearing her lengthy raven tresses in an undone messy bun, Ciara then leaves loose strands to fall from her hairline, which gives a soft and romantic feel to her look. Credit: @ciara

5. She is a colour chameleon

When we think of the many looks of Ciara, one thing is for sure: she is a total colour chameleon.

Never one to stray too far away from her dark tresses, here Ciara opts for a dirty blonde finish throughout the lengths of her hair, but always keeps her dark roots for the most beautiful balayage finish. Credit: @ciara

Editor’s tip: Re-create Ciara’s tousled waves with the TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Wave Creating Sea Foam. Work it through your tresses (before blow-drying) to enhance each strand for wonderfully textured waves.

6. She makes the simple ponytail look good

Oh, how we wished our everyday ponytail looked as chic as this!

Wearing her golden brown balayage tresses in a high ponytail, Ciara chose the most on-trend addition of 2017 – Bardot bangs. Perfectly framing her face, the lengthy fringe gives this style a flawless finish. Credit: @ciara

7. She nails the boho chic look

From poker straight strands to a halo of curls, there is no guessing which hairstyle Ciara will try next. However, it’s her effortless tousled waves that always steals the show for us and Ciara is clearly a lover of the style, as she returns to the boho-esque look time and time again!

8. She’s a protective style lover

With the rise in protective hairstyles growing ever more stronger, it is no wonder Ciara decided to give the look a whirl. Styling her tresses in a mixture of brown and blonde faux locks, the star posted a series of Instagram snaps with them in cute space buns and this half-up, half-down messy bun style. Credit: @ciara

9. She is a trend setter with this shag haircut

With her model-worthy features, Ciara has the advantage of being able to pull off practically any hairstyle and still look beautiful. And this was never more apparent than when she stepped out with this shag haircut.

Joining the likes of Eddie Campbell and Kylie Jenner, Ciara gave the shag haircut her seal of approval by styling her dark tresses with choppy bangs and a shoulder-skimming wavy cut.

10. Her romantic braids are breath-taking

We told you she was the queen of updos, didn’t we? Wearing her long dark tresses with contrasting blonde highlights, Ciara styled her mane in the most show-stopping halo braid updo.

But this isn’t any halo braid, we might add, as it’s a fishtail halo braid, which makes this even more special. Ciara, you never cease to amaze us! Credit: @ciara

Editor’s tip: Keep your braid in place with a generous spritz of the TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Ultra Brushable Hairspray. Not only will this create an undone style, but it easily brushes out and doesn’t leave any stiffness on your hair – jackpot!
