In a world where elegance, sand and history converge, Starr Andrews slips forward – not just like a skater, but as a cultural force. As Hype Hair celebrates its 35th anniversary, there is no better star than this unstoppable trailblazer, whose name is more than to fit. Starr is a rising image, making its sign so much on the ice with passion, confidence and purpose.
From its first turn, Starr Andrews captures the public with an undeniable presence. Now one at national level is ranked by St. and a proud member of the Team USA, not just dreams – they are the new paths. With her eyes at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Starr is on a mission to make the story as the first African American woman to win Olympic gold in skating. It’s a dream that transcends sports – it’s a legacy.
Her journey, however, is paved with more than medals. A real multiple-almond, Starr’s art is far beyond the ice rink. She is a talented musician – piano bark and Ukolele – and a Powerhouse singer who has performed her own song during both the 2018 national championships and 2022 in the US. Her performances are not just routines. They are expressions of identity, emotion and durability.
This durability is deeply woven in its history. He was elevated by a mother who survived a stunning 13 heart attack, Starr learned early on the concept of power, perseverance and return. Her heart beats equally strongly for the community as well as for competition. A passionate supporter gives her voice to spark importance-involved in the American heart union, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the guidance of youth through programs such as 24 degrees of color, shameless shater of Harlem and ice unity.

With every rotation, jump and statement, Starr Champions mental health, diversity and self -esteem, proving that true beauty is bold, non -filtered and fearless. It is not strange that he has won awards such as the AAA Award, the Mabel Fairbanks award and the recognition by the Women’s Sports Foundation.
Her awards are historical: the first African American in the medal at an Isu Grand Prix event and the first to stand on the US podium in over 35 years by the legendary Debi Thomas. But Starr is not skating in one’s shadow. It builds its own empire – one that inspires the next generation of black girls to take up space, defy expectations and rewrite the narrative.
In Hype hair, we have always celebrated the moments of beauty, brilliance and discovery of black women around the world. As we have toasted 35 years of virtual covers, in a strong way and unexpected black excellence, we honor Starr Andrews-not only for what was achieved, but for who it is: a modern heroine, skating to gold and driving gracefully.
Here is the Starr -the face of the future, the heart of the movement and the incarnation of all we celebrate in Hype’s hair.
