#CopyThat: Tracee Ellis Ross’s ’70s Glam
Tracee Ellis Ross is the very definition of black girl magic. The Black-ish star had an historical win at the 74th Golden Globe Awards by becoming the first black woman to win Best Actress in a TV series, Musical or Comedy in 35 years (Debbie Allen won in 1983 for Fame).
We’re pretty sure she made her mother Diana Ross even prouder by channeling the pop diva’s iconic ’70s style. But instead of big, natural curls and a nude lip, she went for a textured ponytail and matte red lipstick.
In this #CopyThat tutorial, Stunning Braids author and hairstylist Monaè Everett and makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes collaborated on a stunning reinterpretation of Ross’s Globes glam. Check out the video above for hair extension secrets that will change your life, and read below for all the steps and products used.
