This designer styles her natural hair into trees, hands, and even a ballerina
We all have good hair days, right?! Well, 21-year-old Laetitia KY takes “good hair day” to a whole new level. Yup, this designer styles her natural hair into trees, hands, and even a ballerina, reported Teen Vogue. Not only are we impressed, but also a bit jealous — in a great way, of course. If anything, she gives us a ~ton~ of hair inspo.
The 4-1-1? Laetitia is a fashion designer from the Cote d’Ivoire. And with over 19,000 Instagram followers, we’d say she’s a ~tad~ popular!
So where does the designer get her inspiration?!
“Generally, the ideas come spontaneously,” Laetitia told Teen Vogue. “What really inspired me to sculpt my hair was an Instagram album I saw a year ago. It presented the hairstyles that women wore long ago in some African tribes that were really impressive and artistic. It made me want to use my hairstyle as one of my means of expression.”
We’d say she’s DEFINITELY doing so! While most of her hairstyles take two hours or less, the longest was a half day, she told Teen Vogue. Here are just a few photos of her Insta hair art. Prepare to be blown away.
Sometimes, she’s in a music mood…

Of course, we’re in love with all her ~amazing~ and one-of-a-kind hairstyles.
“I want to encourage people to be and express themselves, to expose their creativity and not be afraid to be themselves,” Laetitia told Teen Vogue. “I want to show that difference is beautiful.”
She’s definitely proven it to us, and hopefully to you, too. In fact, now that we’re so inspired, brb as we go figure out what to do with our hair…
