What we really need to discuss right now is Keke Palmer and her amazing hair journey and nothing else.
The 29-year-old actor, singer, and TV personality is famously known for always getting her bag, but we must discuss what she looks like when securing said bag.
For context, Keke recently welcomed her son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, and she shared a video explaining that her pregnancy apparently "cleared her skin up" before revealing that baby Leo also gave her something else: "B-B-B-BODY DOWN!" she shouted, modeling her curves for the camera.
And now, Keke's been on a crusade: making TV appearances, stunting on red carpets, and releasing new music — and every single time, she is flawless and her hair is laid for the gods.
So, I want to add some highlights (see what I did there?) to a few moments where Keke and her hairstyles were an undefeatable dynamic duo.
1. Let's start the conversation with this neon green miniskirt and flawless wavy high ponytail she rocked at Vidcon.
2. Here's Keke with a beautiful beatdown and a voluminous blowout from when she announced her "The Big Boss Era" show in DC as part of Broccoli City Festival weekend.
3. Keke made her best impression of Aaliyah with this '90s-era peek-a-bang while discussing how, "As we get older, we sometimes can find ourselves clinging to who we used to be before our expectations in situations were thwarted."
4. And I was absolutely inspired by the pairing of her peek-a-bang and this sheer sin city ensemble she wore to Usher's Las Vegas residency.
5. Here's Keke with a bunch of beautiful curls while she discussed what she would do if her man were in a "Summer Walker situation" during the live recording of her Baby This Is Keke Palmer podcast.
6. Here's the time Keke was on her way to host a Q&A for the premiere of The Blackening with this sickening and deadly silk press.
7. Keke's short mommy curls are the gift that keeps giving in all her hilarious videos with her adorable costar, Leo.
8. The sunlight hit Keke and her long, crimped hair perfectly as she dropped some knowledge, saying, "Authenticity is sharing who you are, where you are AT THAT TIME. If people can’t understand that then maybe they’re only meant for that time, during that phase, and not forever."
9. Here's Keke with an elegant bun while she has a little fun on The Terrell Show, singing and carrying on.
10. Here's Keke with braids and a long pony, advocating for everyone to listen to Taylor Swift's "Karma." She even does a hilarious line-by-line commentary: "Karma is me getting everything I want."
11. Keke loves sharing lessons with a laid press, like explaining that "value should be placed on character, not monetary and superficial things."
12. For the Met Gala in 2023, Keke arrived in a perfectly fitted Sergio Hudson gown to celebrate the 1990s era of Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, and her hair was at maximum volume.
13. In the words of Ms. Palmer, for this look, she gave us "silk diva goddess down" for "Cannes in the summah."
14. I can't get enough of these braids that she also wore in the music video for her new single, "Waiting."
15. And finally, here is one of my favorite photos of Keke with Leodis, back when she debuted her bawdy in a bodysuit for a "Big Boss" screening at the Atlanta Film Festival.
