Rising Star's 2 Very Different Looks.

NBC's Undercovers Star Gugu Mbatha-Raw

It is no secret that British born actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw is a rising star given her big role as co-lead actress starring opposite the very hot, very fine looking Boris Kodjoe in NBC's new series Undercovers. Her beauty is quite easy on the eye but it is her hair that we like here at Black Hair Trends. Her bi-racial heritage gives her the enviable curly locks which works well to her advantage. In the show she pulls off two very different looks; the au naturale curly coif and the elegant straight long hair. Sistas blessed with long naturally soft wavy or curly hair can pass up the relaxer and extensions and rock two looks just like Gugu does here on screen.

To get a straighter look sans chemicals; just whip out a flat iron and voila the long, elegant tresses appear. Her naturally curly tresses are also a pretty fabulous look. Whether it's naturally curly or simply straight Gugu pulls off both looks quite easily and we give her two thumbs up for sporting her fabulous black tresses, either way no extensions necessary is a refreshingly nice black hair trend. Keep it up Gugu!
