AllureAccustomed to many hats, #TeyanaTaylor can wear many wigs, too. “The first one is her Teyana look, what she would normally do. So we used that as a wig that was more foundational,” says hairstylist Nikki Nelms of the jumping-off point for Taylor’s Allure cover shoot. And then the lavender incarnation of the cropped style didn’t actually feel like a big leap: “It was easy to do that version because we were already comfortable with the style,” says Nelms. When she created a whole new silhouette with a flipped-out black bob, her references spanned from En Vogue to the ‘60s. “It’s a look I liked and knew would work for her,” says Nelms. “I don’t know any style she can’t wear, so I didn’t have to factor that in.” Head to the link in bio to see all of Taylor’s beauty looks from our shoot, and read about her approach to aesthetics in her real life.
