But – and don’t be shocked – Keke’s long box braids are no more: the star has ditched the extensions in favour of a new uber stylish lob haircut! Want to see her stunning hair transformation? Just keep on scrolling…

Since Keke has been sporting box braids for a long time, we can only imagine that she wanted to give her mane a well-deserved break, after experimenting with different hair colours, wigs, weaves and everything in between.
