Crowned in Glory: The Best Hair Moments from the 2025 BET Awards

by Rosalynn Glover

The 2025 BET Awards was a night to celebrate excellence in music, culture, and entertainment, but make no mistake, it was also a celebration of hair. Black women showed up and showed out with stunning hairstyles that commanded attention, told stories, and reflected individuality, creativity, and deep-rooted cultural pride.

At Shedavi, we know that hair is never just hair. It’s a form of self-expression, a crown of honor, and a symbol of resilience and regality. From structured updos to cascading curls and statement protective styles, this year’s BET Awards red carpet was a runway for iconic hair looks. Let’s break down our favorite styles of the night and the products you can use to recreate them.

 

1. Minimalist Luxe Flipped Bob


Ciara

 

This look is clean, commanding, and confidently minimalist. A sleek, bob grazes the collarbone with a smooth flipped finish—letting her bone structure and gown do all the talking.

Sheer beauty met vintage romance in this look, where voluminous spirals framed the face with elegance, bonus points for the protective style!

This was one of the most regal looks on the carpet. An intricate updo with Bantu knots and bold accessories highlighted natural texture and creativity.

  • Prep hair with Shedavi Crowned Protein Masque for structure

  • Part and twist hair into tight Bantu knots

  • Add edge control and gold cuffs for that royal finish

 

 

5. Old-School Glamour with a Modern Edge

The black satin gown was matched perfectly with swooped baby hairs and large, brushed-out waves—a nod to classic beauty.

You don’t need a glam squad or a celebrity budget to achieve a red carpet–worthy look at home. With the right products and a little intentionality, you can create sleek styles, defined curls, or sculpted updos that radiate confidence and elegance. Start by treating your hair like it deserves the spotlight: deep condition weekly, nourish your scalp, and use styling products that prioritize both beauty and health. Whether you’re perfecting a slick ponytail or softening your curls for a voluminous look, tools like a high-quality leave-in, and a shine mist can elevate your everyday routine into a red carpet moment. Because at the end of the day, the crown is yours, so wear it well.

The BET Awards are a reflection of culture, artistry, and unapologetic Black beauty. These hairstyles weren’t just accessories to the outfit: they were a moment. At Shedavi, we honor this legacy and celebrate the magic that happens when hair and heritage collide.

Your crown is sacred. Nourish it. Style it. Celebrate it.
