Proof That Beyoncé Never Met a Wind Machine She Didn't Like
It's very rare to see Beyoncé without her waist-grazing locks. That's because the extra length allows her to get the hair whip effect when she's belting out the lyrics to her No. 1 hits. Take a look back at Mrs. Carter's best performance hair moments. Goodness knows she can flip, whip, shake, and blow her mane like no other. Perhaps you'll be inspired to do some hairography of your own with "Grown Woman" on repeat.
