8 Zendaya-Inspired Hairstyles

Every Woman Will Want to Try

From red carpet glam to everyday chic, these iconic looks can be recreated with

wigs or natural hair for effortless style and confidence.

1. Voluminous Natural Curls

Zendaya’s natural-curl moments are effortless and full of life. Her curls show off

volume, bounce, and texture — a beautiful celebration of natural hair, perfect if you

want a soft, everyday-glam vibe. This look shines especially when you work with

defined curls or a curly wig to mimic that natural pattern.

2. Braided Style

One of her most talked-about looks: sleek cornrows that frame her face and add

structure. This braided style is protective, iconic, and works beautifully with Black hair

— real or wig. It’s bold and polished, ideal for making a strong statement while keeping

hair manageable and neat.

3. Chic Curly Bob

Zendaya’s curly bob — short, bouncy, and full of character — shows how powerful a

shorter cut can be. Elegant yet playful, this bob gives a fresh vibe while remaining

versatile. It’s a great option if you want something low-maintenance but still stylish,

and it works really well whether you go natural or use a wig

4.Hollywood-Style Finger Waves

For a touch of vintage glamour, Zendaya’s finger waves are effortless old-Hollywood

chic. The sculpted waves frame the face beautifully and add polished elegance. This

style — whether on real hair or a wig — is perfect for formal events or when you want

a vintage-inspired, refined look.

5. Faux Locs / Locs-Inspired Hair

Locs (or faux-locs) offer an alternative style that blends texture, depth, and cultural

roots. Zendaya’s locs moments bring a unique, bold aesthetic. Whether actual locs or a

loc-style wig, it’s a statement look that celebrates identity and gives you a visage that

stands out with character.

6. Top-Knot / Sleek Bun Updo

 Clean, sleek, and elegant — Zendaya’s top-knot bun is a go-to when she wants

sophistication with minimal fuss. It’s great for formal events or when you want a

polished, low-maintenance look that still feels glamorous. Works well on natural hair

or with a wig/updo-ready unit.

7. Long Waves / Soft Waves

These long, soft waves offer a blend of classic elegance and effortless glamour.

Zendaya’s wavy looks strike a balance — sophisticated but relaxed. This style works

beautifully if you want movement and flow, and it translates well into wig styling too.

8. Short Cut

Zendaya has shown how fearless a pixie or short-cut look can be — edgy, confident,

and striking. Short cuts highlight facial features, draw attention to makeup and

accessories, and express boldness and style. If you want minimal styling but maximal

impact, this is a great one to consider
