Beyoncé gripped social media when she debuted her natural hair on Monday (April 22) using her Cécred products.
However, over the years, Bey has BEEN keeping her foot on our necks when it comes to styling her blonde tresses. But, just in case you forgot, keep scrolling for a lil’ reminder!
This Video Is Why Beyoncé Is Trending
As mentioned, Beyoncé shared a video of her beauty team caring for her hair using her line Cécred. In the clip, she walks us through getting her hair washed, blowdried, and flat-ironed while describing the different products aiding the process.
In the end, Bey gagged her 319 million followers with how long, full, and healthy her natural hair is. Wigs and braids aside, Beyoncé made it clear that she and “bald-headed” don’t belong in the same sentence!
“The stigma and misconception is that people that wear wigs don’t have long and healthy hair — that some bulls**t,” Beyoncé said in the video.
The video serves as a more personalized marketing approach for Cécred. When she first launched the hair care line in Feb., there were overwhelming critiques of its alignment with her brand.
Throughout her career, there haven’t been many clear instances of her rocking her natural hair. Yet, here she was, selling hair care products at what some would consider a premium price! Most products start at $30 and surpass $50.
But Beyoncé has been true, not new to the hair game. Cécred has been bubbling within her since her days “sweeping hair in” Ms. Tina Lawson’s salon, hunny! On the brand’s website, Bey revealed it’s “been [her] lifelong dream to create these hair products and bring some of [her] mother’s teachings to life.”
Heartwarming story and booming hair care line aside — Beyoncé has BEEN that girl when it comes to trendsetting hairstyles! So, let’s rundown a few times she ate and left no crumbs.
The Hive leader had braiders booked up across the country when she delivered inches with her Lemonade braids in her ‘Formation’ video.
Yup, those lengthy half-cornrows, half-singles had the girlies hooked summer 2016 — and every summer since!
Not to mention all the other iconic Black hairstyles she shined a light on in that music video, which has 309 million views, and the ‘Lemonade’ project as a whole.
One thing about Beyoncé is that she’s going to serve a middle part, buss down!
One of her most iconic versions, though, is the wet and curly look. We’ve seen it since the start of her career with Destiny’s Child and still to this day! She ate then and still eats now!
And her iconic middle-part buss down also comes in straight or deep waves styles!

In the last year, she also gagged fans by taking her blonde to a lighter level — platinum, to be exact! While it caused some conversation at first, it’s now become part of her ‘Cowboy Carter’ era.
And blonde hair isn’t the only color she’s slayed in the past. Let’s not forget how she popped out with dark brown hair and stole the show at Conde Nast’s ‘Movies Rock’ event in Dec. 2007.
The POINT is when it comes to Beyoncé and her hair, let’s remember she always causes conversation — natural or not!
