Viral tweets celebrated the beautiful and intricate hairstyles of the show's new main cast members, Laci Mosley and Jaidyn Triplett. To honor Black History Month, the pair sat down with their talented hairstylist to discuss the importance of working with a team that understood the distinctive haircare and styling needs of Black actresses.
It wasn't what they were used to on other sets.
