7 Times Teyonah Parris’ Updos Were Our #HairGoals

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past five years (like I have), then you’ve probably seen actress Teyonah Parris in the show Mad Men, or in last year’s movie Dear White People.

You may even remember her from her awesome response to a not so awesome experience in 2015 when a stranger randomly walked up to her in a restaurant and grabbed her hair (which is a totally different story).

While we admire her for her talents and the elegant way she stands up for herself, let’s not forget – her red carpet natural hair styles are out of this world! Here are 7 updos Teyonah Parris has rocked that we want to try right now:

Your basic top knot mega bun but with 10x the volume. Simple enough to recreate, you can even attempt this style with natural hair extensions*. Simply pull your hair back up a bun, then wrap the tracks around to add more volume securing with bobby pins*. Smooth your edges and go!
