“I’ve done everything to her hair except shave her damn head,” chuckles Yusef Williams, a New York-based celebrity hairstylist who’s responsible for Rihanna’s most iconic looks for the past 15 years. “Now, I wouldn’t shave Rihanna bald, but she can pull off a cute boy cut beyond a pixie.”
Williams and I are in the Mott NYC Salon in New York, where I'll soon be one of the first people to test and review Rihanna's upcoming Fenty Hair collection. But first, Williams is walking me down memory lane, sharing his favorite looks created for the mega singer. He explains her latest style—a honey-blonde pixie—was inspired by wanting to try something different. A new look that’s fresh and bold.
