You thought she was “wigging” you? Nah, but her curls are almost too good to be true. Ice Spice is practically a perfectionist with her well-rounded bob opposing gravity. It’s no secret that she is musically and naturally in her bag with her autumn-hued hair.
In 2022, the Bronx native got her claim to fame with her hit song “Munch.” Like her hair, her career has spiraled since, making her hip-hop’s latest sensation. This hit was only the beginning of her well-defined music career. In addition to serving as a bop for the summer of 2022, she also carried us during the summer of 2023 with her smash hit “Barbie World.” Not only is the “Princess Diana” rapper a hitmaker, but she is also a trendsetter with her iconic curly bob.
If you’re hair-crazed like us, then you know we couldn’t wait to get into the details. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite looks so you can spice up your hair regime, too.

On February 18, Spice was seen wearing an orange Dolce & Gabbana dress complimenting her vibrant hair. It seems as if some curls were pinned inwards to keep her style from clashing with the features of her dress. She is embodying “less is more” with this over-the-top yet subtle look.

The Bronx native graced the MTV Music Awards rocking all-white lace complimenting her highly pigmented auburn hair. This bob is full and defined as Spice is photographed with her curls elongated and tight. The reduced frizz of this look highlights the definition and shine of her perfectly sprung curls.
4. The Eras Tour

The Super Bowl link-up might not have been as random as you thought, as Spice was featured in Swift’s Eras Tour during the summer. If you notice, Spice’s curls seem darker during her summer appearances and lighter during the fall and winter months. We love the idea of seasonal hair color. It’s like a partnership with Mother Nature to ensure radiance, and we are here for it.
5. Frontal Bob with Loose Curls

Grrah! Spice was definitely in her mood with this crimson bob. Deviating from her typical bob, Spice is captured slaying a red frontal wig, complimenting her skin tone. We love the switch up but most importantly, we admire the health. She is embodying diversity while protecting her natural tresses.
6. Swoop Frontal Bob

I bet you didn’t know that she devours with her coils in red too. Subbing out spice for hot red, Spice is seen flicking it up on her TikTok. If we didn’t know any better, we might’ve thought she invented these spicy colors.

Mwah, no frizz! Spice posted on TikTok sporting her signature bob but with blonde undertones. Her ability to experiment with color while keeping her tight curl pattern is inspiring. She gleams while keeping her natural strands strong.
12. Peek-a-boo Roots

We absolutely love this style on Spice because we can see a peak into her dark roots. It is a slight twist to her traditional bob. However, having undyed roots ties her dark-colored features together well.

You know she’s the queen of the curly bob when her chain says so. Ice Spice is captured rocking a diamond embellished chain with her iconic bob as a pendant around her neck. This chain alone confirms her reign as queen.
Still not convinced Ice Spice is the queen of the curly bob? We’ll sum it up for you. Spice practices healthy hair techniques so as not to ruin her natural curls. When experimenting with new styles, she protects her hair with quality wigs. She’s never dull as she switches her hair tone from auburn to hot red and sometimes pink. Lastly, she styles her hair to compliment her fashion while keeping it hot throughout the seasons.
