‘Iconic Hairstyle’: Evelyn Lozada’s Old Reunion Looks Leave Fans Gushing

Evelyn Lozada is known for styling-and-profiling as well as rocking “iconic” hairdos that make some people want to imitate her look. The “Basketball Wives” cast member recently proved that her hair game has always been on fleek when, on Wednesday, June 17, she posted a thread of old photos on Instagram that showed her at the “BBW” season 2 reunion.

Donning a black turtleneck crop top and a green maxi skirt with a slit, the Bronx beauty looked toward the ground and opened her mouth slightly to strike her pose. Evelyn sported a top knot bun with bangs that flattered her face perfectly. In true New York fashion, Evelyn wore large silver hoop earrings. She tied her appearance together with a dark pink smoky eye and a light pink lipstick to match.

Evelyn gave a shoutout to the stylist responsible for her hairstyle, expressing the idea that her reunion bun was “epic.” Many social media users proclaimed that they were head over heels in love with the reality star’s tresses. One user gushed: “THAT LOOK WAS AND STILL IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! ❤️,” followed by another that wrote: “That is an iconic hairstyle.”

Just like most women with naturally curly hair, Evelyn straightened her hair often when she wanted to switch up her looks. A few years ago her hair suffered heat damage. In 2013, the now 44-year-old Evelyn announced in an Instagram post that she was determined to rejuvenate her natural curl pattern and grow her mane down her back after she destroyed her locks.

The mother of two started her natural hair journey in 2017 by cutting her hair to her collarbone. She then stopped putting heat on her curls so frequently and opted for a heat-protectant spray when she wanted to straighten her hair. As of late, Evelyn’s hair extends past her waist. She hinted in an Instagram post that rice water helped her hair grow.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
