If you’ve been following Tyla, it’s obvious she’s not just collecting chart moments — she’s building a visual legacy. Fresh off a VMA win (Best Afrobeats), Tyla keeps turning red carpets and festival stages into a runway for mood-changing, genre-bending hair.

Tyla’s natural hair is a deep, rich dark brown/black with a coily-curly texture that springs with life when she lets it be. Childhood photos and early snaps show the same bounce and density she plays with today — stretched, defined, braided, or cropped, that texture is the through-line.
In hair-typing terms, Tyla sits in the curly-to-coily range (think 3B–4A family), but labels don’t tell the whole story. Her real power is versatility: her natural texture gives volume to braids, body to curls, and authenticity to every short, sleek, or dyed look she tries.
Recently, Tyla has largely appeared with shorter styles — pixies and cropped cuts have become a signature phase. And lucky for us fans, we’ve collected a parade of her different hairstyles right here — every cropped cut, braid, and curl that proves she’s a style chameleon.

At the VMAs, Tyla wore a sculpted cornrowed crown that melts into a silky bob — the perfect juxtaposition of structure and softness. It framed her features and turned a classic braid into a very now, editorial moment.

When Tyla opts for long knotless braids, she channels festival royalty: lightweight, glossy, and full of movement. The style balances practicality with instant star energy — ideal for stage runs and sunlit promo shoots.

When she leans into texture, Tyla’s curls are defined and juicy — a lived-in glory that reads youthful, tactile, and totally camera-ready.

At the Met, Tyla shocked and delighted in warm blonde curls with a vintage Hollywood bent — a daring, editorial switch that showed how her features translate across color. Stylist notes called it “clean, beautiful, and a touch androgynous.”

Soft brown boho braids lend Tyla a sun-kissed, effortless vibe. Slightly undone and full of texture, this look reads relaxed and romantic — perfect for off-duty press events and candid street-style shots.

Tyla’s pixie is sharp, intimate, and unapologetically confident. Cropped hair magnifies her cheekbones and eyes, and whether it’s tousled or sleeked down, it reads as a signature statement — some fans even call it a modern salute to Rihanna’s short-era power.
Tyla’s hair feels like a style diary we all get to peek into — one day playful braids, the next a daring pixie. It’s part of what makes following her so much fun. And if you’re as obsessed with celebrity hair journeys as I am, stick around below for more stories from other stars.
