Gabrielle Union

I love Gabby, she's one of my favorite actresses. Her weaves are always spot on, not a hair out of place. I was actually convinced for the longest time that it was all her hair.

Her real hair isn't doing too bad either and she has been kind enough to offer hair tips to her twitter followers. Awww!

Lil Mama

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of lil Mama, then again I'm not that into music anyway so I may not be the best person to ask. Still her weaves look on point for the most part

Lil Mama

In my research, she wears natural styles very often inter spaced with bouts of weaves and wigs* and her fro is cute!

Angela Simmons

In an interview she did with Curly Nikki a while ago she said that she gets weaves pretty often but she never does her own hair so she goes to the hair salon 2-3 times a week!

What a fab fro she's got! The salon visits may not be the cheapest approach to hair care by any means but something's clearly working for her.

Toya Wright

Remember when celebrities were people who had special talents like acting, singing, dancing, painting etc. No? Me neither! Still her weaves are stunning!

The ex Mrs Lil Wayne may not be a bona fide A-lister but she's got some respectable natural tresses on her!

Tyra Banks

Ok strictly speaking, Tyra is the queen of lace fronts not weaves but back in the day she rocked some gorgeous weaves too so she counts!

And in an episode of her talk show and occasionally online she shows off her real hair. Seems like the protective styling is working pretty well for her!
