'Dos and Don'ts: Black Hairstyles on White Celebrities

Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and more.

Madonna - Madge has played with almost every look under the sun throughout her career so it's no surprise that an afro was one of them. In the music video for her 1992 hit "Deeper and Deeper," the pop icon sported a voluminous blonde afro. Did she rock it?(Photo: Warner Music Group)
Christina Aguilera - X-Tina is another non-African-American pop star who's built her career with experimentation. The former Mickey Mouse Club child star rocked this huge curly 'fro back in her "Lady Marmalade" days — remember the smash remake with Lil' Kim, Mya and P!nk? — and she seemed to like it so much that she kept it around for a while. We're not mad.(Photo : Chris Weeks/Liaison)
Justin Timberlake - The fellas aren't exempt. Before his "Cry Me a River" days, JT was in that "awkward boy-band fashion" phase, where he tried out the cornrows for a while. We don't think it's his best look, but, hey, it was the '90s.(Photo: Brenda Chase/Getty Images)
Kesha - Before pop star Kesha toned down her look and ditched the dollar sign from her name, she looked like this. Aside from the long, multicolored cornrows, she would wear heavy amounts of glitter, oversize sunglasses and plenty of acid-washed denim — like the female version of Riff Raff. We're just glad she's over this phase.(Photo: Cousart-Rayne/JFXimages/WENN.com)Lady Gaga - Like Madonna, Gaga has experimented with her fair share of looks throughout her career. From wearing meat to walking on stilted platform shoes, Gaga even goes as far as to create her own fashions. However, it was this melodramatic dread loc 'do that had some giving her applause and others boos. What do you think? Did the "Born This Way" singer go a bit too far?(Photo: Stuart C.
