Rihanna's Hairstylist Talks About Her Locs in Movie 'Ocean's 8'

In anticipation of the film Ocean's 8's release, Rihanna's longtime hairstylist, Yusef Williams, chatted with Refinery29 about the choice of locs for Rihanna's character, Nine Ball, in the movie. Rihanna was seen wearing the long locs around New York City while filming the movie back in the fall of 2016, and the style was apparently her request, according to Us Magazine. Williams told Refinery29, "We thought it would be strong. Her locs would maintain that tie to Africa. She'd keep her accent.
