One look at Nicki Minaj's hairstyles is all it takes to know that this girl is in a fashion league of her very own. The rest of us may not be up to her league yet, but that's no reason to quit trying. Ahead, find inspiration from Nicki to help take your locks to the next level of awesome.



Peek-a-boo Pink
Nicki sported sleek black curls and full bangs for the 2010 American Music Awards. A pop of bright pink peeking out from the underlayers was a playful addition to the black dress and raven-colored locks she chose for Rip the Runway in 2010.



Hollywood Curls
Nicki channeled all the glamour of a Hollywood starlet of years gone by with these platinum blonde ringlets. Of course, in classic Nicki style, she added her own touch with a fur-and-leather outfit that created a striking contrast with her elegant hairdo.



Pink and Angled
From the back, this cut might look like a basic bob, except for the pink color, of course. In classic Nicki Minaj hairstyle form, it's clear from the side that this is no ordinary bob.



Golden Halo
When your hair shines like the sun, all eyes are on you. As with many of Nicki Minaj's hairstyles, these peach-and-yellow curls are a wig. Such hairpieces are one of her tricks for being able to change up her hairstyle so often.



Super Long
Nicki is no stranger to hair extensions, but she took them to the extreme for the 2017 Daily Front Row's 3rd Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. She wore a short dress and short shorts, so her incredibly long hair flowed long past those. In fact, her locks grazed the tops of her knee-high boots.



Green Bob
Nicki Minaj's hairstyles often feature extensions, but she can also rock a bob. In fact, she can pull off any shade of bob you can imagine. Nicki showed up to a 2010 appearance on "106 & Park" with a bob wig that featured a mix of blonde and lime-green colors.

Blue and Pink
If Nicki Minaj's hairstyles can feature one bold color, why not try two of them? That's just what she did for this pink-and-blue mashup. The large curls and volumized pin-back style lend classy elegance to this colorful 'do.



Blonde Curls
Even if you're still wary of bright pink hair, this cascade of bleach-blonde corkscrews is a Nicki Minaj look that you could totally try. The pile of voluminous curls could be easily dressed up or down.



Leopard Pattern
Nicki took an animal print look all the way for New York Fashion Week in 2011. She not only wore a leopard-print outfit, but her long blonde hair was also stamped with leopard designs. Of course, she topped off the ensemble with a fuzzy leopard hat.
