Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Hair Interview
The Symbolism Behind the Hairstyles in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"

The water, Georgia humidity, and fast-paced action scenes all posed a threat to the hairstyles in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," but there are three products Friend and her team used throughout filming to remedy this. "We did a lot of what I call setting the hair with it," Friend says. "Anytime you're getting into a curly texture of hair, I always like to use something with moisture, and then I like to seal it with something like a gel." For this, she used the Prose Custom Styling Gel ($30). "It was something that we really used all the time and it was very, very versatile."
She also relied on the Design Essentials Avocado and Almond Curl Enhancing Mousse ($17). "Honestly, it's my go-to mousse. I use it for everybody," she says. And last but not least, the Hask Curling Defining Cream ($7), which she recommends for everyone with curly hair.
