Erykah Badu and Janelle Monet Shoot Music Video Using Wigs Exclusively Provided by Sunny's Hair!



Everyone knows that celebrities love the products we offer here at Sunny’s Hair, but did you know that Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu recently filmed a music video that exclusively featured our wigs? The video is for Monáe’s “Q.U.E.E.N.,” which is the first single off of The Electric Lady.

The video for “Q.U.E.E.N.” skyrocketed to the top of YouTube charts with over four million views within the first week of its release. It features Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu as exhibits in a futuristic, dystopian museum display which has placed rebels into a state of suspended animation. The museum awakes as “Q.U.E.E.N.” begins playing after two rebels sneak into the exhibit.

Janelle Monáe plays with various hairstyles throughout the video. We were impressed with her dedication to presenting a variety of looks which reminded us of the past, present, and future. She begins the video wearing her hair in a large bouffant, then switches to wearing a short, cropped wig. This wig strongly evokes the soul singers of the late 1960s, especially when combined with the costumes and styling Ms. Monáe uses.

Erykah Badu creates a futuristic look with her straight blonde wig choice, but she spends the majority of the video wearing a very modern blonde natural hair wig, which she teased until it was very large. This hair style has become somewhat of a trademark for Ms. Badu recently.

Our wigs are particularly prominent in scenes where Janelle Monáe is singing with a group of girls all in the same short, 60s-era haircuts. Each of these girls later has her own personal hairstyle while dancing with Janelle, but during the close-up singing scenes, they are all made to look close to identical through their wigs and costuming.

If you love the looks that Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu rocked in their video for “Q.U.E.E.N.,” you should check out our entire line of high quality wigs. You may find the new look that is perfect for both your everyday look and your more rebellious side.
