While looking up some celebs with curly hair for inspiration, I happened to stumble upon an old image of Zoe Saldana. I would have never known the star's natural hair texture was SO curly, especially since she's always sporting smooth, sleek strands. It got me thinking about other celebs and how their hair looked before they got rich and famous. Remember Shakira's redhead days?

Zoe Saldana
Who would have known the Dominican and Puerto Rican star was a curly haired chica? Kind of makes me wish she would wear it like this more!
Jessica Alba
The Sin City: A Dame to Kill For actress sported a short, black pixie cut during her Dark Angel days. Now she normally rocks shoulder-length highlighted tresses.
Jennifer Lopez
Everyone seems to forget J.Lo was born with dark, curly hair. I guess it's because she's been sporting her signature sleek, straight honey strands for years!
Christina Milian
The Cuban singer and actress' natural hair is raven black and super curly. But now it's usually colored and straightened.
Shakira
I used to LOVE Shakira's long red braids during her early days. But I'll admit, she certainly looks a lot more polished with blonde hair.
Mariah Carey
When Mariah Carey first made her music debut, she was wearing light brown curly locks. But for most of her career we've seen her with blonde glamour waves.
