A’ja Wilson, the forward for the Las Vegas Aces and WNBA champion, is accustomed to the limelight. She’s a three-time MVP, author, and businesswoman who never stops creating waves. Wilson recently joined forces with Mielle Organics, and this is her latest project that is very personal to her.
A’ja Wilson’s Hair Essentials
A’ja Wilson knows that her hair is her crown—it’s the first thing people notice. She believes that sports and beauty can go hand in hand. So, what products does she rely on?
- Mielle Edge Control Gel: Perfect for someone who sweats a lot during games, this gel keeps her edges laid and polished.
- Edge Control Brush: An underrated styling tool, especially for Black women’s hair. A dual-headed brush helps her achieve that sleek look.
- Rosemary Mint Scalp and Hair Strengthening Oil: A versatile oil that works whether she has braids, a sew-in, or natural hair. It provides a cooling sensation to her scalp, which is essential when she sweats during games.
Beauty Hacks on the Court
A’ja keeps her game face fresh with microbladed brows and a set of lashes. These two essentials help her avoid wearing makeup during games, allowing her to focus on what matters most—basketball.
For full glam, A’ja turns to Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty makeup line. It offers shades for everyone and keeps her face oil-free. And her trusty Maybelline Great Lash Mascara has been a staple since high school.
As for skincare, she uses Tatcha’s Rice Wash to cleanse her face after sweating it out on the court.
