Whether on or off the court, Coco Gauff loves styling her natural hair! Last year, during an interview, the American tennis star revealed that when she was young, she committed herself to showcasing Black hairstyles when she plays, and this is something which she takes pride in. Gauff loves experimenting with her hair. “I’ve been open to trying new styles to play with…I love to show braids, I love to wear my curls…[when] you look good and you feel good, and you feel good about yourself, it almost makes you perform better.”
She wants to be that representation, especially in a sport where there are not a lot of Black girls playing. Coco Gauff is mostly seen in her braided look during her matches. What’s the secret behind that hairdo? Well, replying to this query, Gauff once revealed that, “I like my hair, but braids are just easier. Especially when I sweat—when my hair isn’t in braids, the salt from my sweat dries out.” Be it on the court or off the court, with braids or without braids, Gauff always has this tendency to ace whatever she does!
Following yet another hard-fought victory in the 2025 Canadian Open, where she defeated Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova by 4-6,7-5,6-2, Coco Gauff was spotted admiring the hairstyle of a little fan in her post-match interactions. She went up to her fans to give out a few autographs, and while doing so, she met a little girl who had a braided hairdo. Seeing this, Gauff commented, “I like your hair.”
