When it comes to dominating both on and off the court, A’ja Wilson is in a league of her own. The WNBA star didn’t just show up for All-Star Weekend; she showed out. From electrifying the game with her signature moves to lighting up every appearance with her radiant style and energy, Wilson made sure all eyes were on her. But it wasn’t just her game that had folks talking; it was also her hair.
Throughout the weekend, A’ja served four distinct braided hairdos by celebrity hairstylist Myesha Jamerson, which were just as powerful as her presence. Each look was intentional, stylish, and rooted in the culture, proving once again that Black women’s hair is a statement, a crown, and a form of storytelling. Whether she was stepping onto the court or the pink carpet, Wilson’s braids matched her mood and mission, which is to be bold, versatile, and unapologetically her.

To achieve her daring hairstyles, Jamerson used RED By Kiss Styler Fixer Braiding Gel Extreme + RED By Kiss Edge Cara to smooth and shape Wilson’s braids and edges, and she then sealed her mane with the Edge Wrap for hold. For the athlete’s curls, the hair expert used RED By Kiss Styler Fixer Foam Mousse to define and hydrate the ends, achieving a soft, goddess-like finish; both products are under $10.
