15 Times Yaya DaCosta Was 4C Hair Goals

It's the 34th birthday of Yaya DaCosta; one of the most fabulous naturalistas around. She's been slaying both the red carpet and editorial shoots with her bold and beautiful natural hair ever since she stole our hearts as the runner-up on cycle 3 of 'America’s Next Top Model.' While Yaya has continued to makes waves as a stunning model, she has also made her name in the acting world, having portrayed the iconic Whitney Houston in Lifetime’s biopic of the singer, as well as April Sexton in the primetime drama 'Chicago Med.' In honor of Yaya’s birthday and great accomplishments, here is a look back at some of Yaya’s biggest and boldest hair moments.
