I immediately get the references because they're always so rooted in Black culture. Gigi did the hair had some custom-made bamboo earrings put in there with my name and 'The Ebony Enchantress.' ALLURE : I think it's very easy for the audience to connect to your looks. That's the hair.' So we did, of course, modify it a little bit. I saw that hairstyle from Nikki and was like, 'That's it. But it's still a very striking one and I'm just so proud of it. I was very nervous about the look because you're either going to get it or you won't. That was the process of it - I got all the things together that I find so beautiful about who we are and made it drag. The grills, the decked-out jewelry, the polo shirts, low-hanging pants, big hair - we were like, 'You know what? This is Urban Pinup.' I was all these things I love about our culture. I was talking with my house, and we all said, 'You know what? Why don't we do our version of a pinup?' SYMONE: was 'Pastel Pinup.' I was looking through images, but wasn't really connecting with any of them because, yeah, they were in there, but there weren't that many women of color.

Tell me about how you arrived at creating that look. I was shook! I didn't know she was nice with wigs like that! Then, I read the credits and found out Gigi had done the wig for you. I immediately thought of a hairstyle Nikki Nelms created for an Allure shoot. ALLURE: Now, we have to get into some of the hair looks you've served.
