Kerry Washington and protective hair styling go together real bad.

Protective styles and natural hair have been Kerry’s go-to for a while now, and she’s spoken passionately about it. In 2017, she opened up to Allure about how she embraced her natural texture and the inspiration behind that choice — her children.

“I like to wear my natural texture, especially now because I have children, and I want them to know that their hair is perfect as it is. They don’t have to change it or straighten it. They can, but they don’t have to,” she said. Kerry also shared that she stopped relaxing her hair in her early 20s and hasn’t looked back. “I have grown to like my hair more and more over the years. I won’t have any chemicals in it.”

Fast forward to now, Kerry is the ultimate hair chameleon.

With the help of her stylist, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, the Simpson Street owner constantly switches up with different protective styles that match her energy. Whether it’s sleek ponytails, fun bangs, bouncy curls, or these fabulous blonde twists, Kerry’s hair always complements her vibe.
