1. The Wig Snatch Seen Around The World
We’re not sure which episodes Viola sent to the Emmy judges, but this video had to be one them! When she took off those lashes, her makeup and her wig (revealing her natural hair), babyeeee that was a moment that had people shook.
2. Mary J Blige Putting Annalise's Sew-In
Yes, Mary J is fantastic in Dee Rees “Mudbound,” so much so she was nominated for two Academy Awards. But we REALLY loved how sis just popped up in this episode as Annalise’s unnamed hairstylist who in 40 seconds got Annalise’s boogie self together, told her to get Nate back, called a fellow stylist the Queen of Thot-land, and made that sew-in look fresh. Listen, that’s a skill. Where was the Guest Emmy for that?
3. That Time Viola Greased And Scratched Cicely Tyson's Scalp
In an interview with The Root, Viola revealed that her favorite hair moment on the show was when Cicely Tyson, who plays Annalise’s mom, greased her scalp. This scene was definitely a powerful moment that conveys that special bond we can create with one other through our hair.
4. TEGAN, TEGAN, TEGAN!
Tegan (amazingly played by Amirah Vann) is so BAAAAAAD! The way she gets those associates all the way together cries out she is not the one. Additionally, every outfit she rocks has us in awe, but we have to talk about sis’ hair. EVERY WEEK IT IS LAID! Pulled back, faux hawks, edges shellacked. It brings a tear to our eyes every time she’s on screen.
5. Annalise Keating vs. Olivia Pope
Talk about tense! When Shonda’s two Black heroines come face-to-face at a beauty salon, it’s definitely something to see. Oliva in her roller set and Viola getting that wig bumped with the flat iron, the two have words, serious ones. It was a glorious moment between the two.
6. Don't Ever Touch My Hair
We felt that “What the hell are you doing?” in our souls. In this episode from season 5, a rich white client thought it was a good idea to overstep his boundaries and touch Annalise’s perfectly coiffed wig. Of course, the legal eagle, Annalise, had something for her.
