Keeping blonde color on natural hair can be a challenge, especially with all the experimenting Beyoncé does. She credited her own experience with maintaining her blonde hair as instrumental in the creation of her haircare line, Cécred. “Maintaining 25 years of blonde on natural hair through all the experimenting I do has played a huge part in developing @cecred’s products,” she explained. “It’s the hardest to keep color-treated hair healthy and strong, but @cecred is here. All quality, with NO shortcuts. Congratulations to the entire CÉCRED team for contributing to developing award-winning products.”
Beyoncé released her haircare line, Cécred, in February of this year. In her Instagram video, she wanted to showcase the transformative power of Cécred products on her own hair.

During her video, the singer debunked the myth that people who wear wigs don’t have good hair underneath. With confidence and pride, she flaunted her gorgeous, natural tresses. “The stigma and misconception is that people who wear wigs don’t have long and healthy hair,” she said. “That’s some bulls–t, ’cause it ain’t nobody’s business.”
Beyoncé took charge of drying her own hair in the clip, ensuring that she used a medium heat temperature to avoid damaging her locks. Afterwards, her hair was flat-ironed, pinned, and styled to perfection, showcasing her voluminous, bouncy curls.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement after watching Beyoncé’s haircare routine. They flooded the comments section with praise and appreciation. One fan even said, “I’m gonna be watching this all day long,” while another wrote, “Oh Beyoncé, what would the world do without you?!!”
Beyoncé’s connection to hair runs deep, as she grew up watching her mother, Tina Lawson, work wonders as a hairstylist. Tina later established her own hair salon, Headliners Hair Salon, in Houston. For Beyoncé, hair has always been an essential part of her journey and identity.

In a previous video for Cécred, Beyoncé shared, “Obviously, I grew up in my mother’s hair salon. Welcome along my hair journey.” She continued to explain the impact her mother had on her and the memories she holds dear. “I have vivid memories of my mother working as a hairstylist right from our home. She built a small salon at the back of our house, and I can recall catching glimpses of her while I watched cartoons or played with my dolls and toys. These moments are etched into every corner of my childhood memories.”
Beyoncé also acknowledged the role her own experiences with hair have played in shaping who she is today. From her father applying oil to her scalp to treat her psoriasis to working in her mother’s salon, every hair-related memory holds a special place in her heart.

Beyoncé believes that salons and barbershops are more than just places to get hair done—they are communities where people find solace and support. “The conversations and debates in the salons and barbershops create a sense of community for the people who look to it as a retreat from their everyday lives,” she explained. “For them, it’s a place to feel beautiful and vent, laugh, share secrets and pass down wisdom. It’s the most consistent community gathering we have. It’s so important that it’s a sanctuary.”
When creating her haircare line, Beyoncé wanted to capture the essence of community, family, and self-care. The name Cécred is derived from her own name, with the French word for sacred (sacré) forming the latter part. She described the journey of creating her haircare line as a reflection of her own experiences with her mother’s salon, her father’s involvement in her hair rituals, and her deep connection to hair as a sacred entity.
