Kelly demonstrated this with a box braid high ponytail, which paired perfectly with a brightred lipand statement earrings.

The elevated look has to be one of her best hair moments to date.

This bold, bang-heavy look might not be for everyone, but it was practically made for Kelly.

This full head of voluminous curls shows that even her hair is fit to take center stage.

It was a game changer, to say the least, and Rowland no doubt wore it well.

This mid-length layered haircut shows off the contrast perfectly.

It may not feel as on-trend now, but the hairstyle remains too good to forget.
