After a remarkable performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Simone Biles treated herself to a new hairstyle to celebrate her fourth medal.
On Thursday, August 6, the gymnast unveiled her new look in her Instagram stories, praising her hairdresser Brenton Diallo.
Diallo, who has been doing Biles’ hair for eight years, shared his joy at reuniting with the athlete on Instagram. Posting a photo of Biles and another of them together, he wrote, “What a magical morning! Reunion with the GOAT! My sister from another Miss, the gorgeous and incredibly talented @simonebiles. ILY BB. What an honor to do your hair. We’ve known each other for 8 years now and I couldn’t be more honored to come over and do your hair when you’re on top of the world. Ps 8 years, woof! We’ve GROWN, grown haha ❤️ YOU!”
Biles responded with a playful comment: “Gold medal stylist, babyyyyy,” followed by four heart emojis and three gold medal emojis to celebrate her three gold medals at this year’s Games.
In addition to celebrating her victories, Biles also took the time to address criticism of her hairstyle during the Paris Games. On July 30, she posted a photo of herself smiling and wearing a black tank top to her Instagram story, reminding everyone of the importance of not commenting on other people’s hair, especially under such conditions.
Simone Biles is better than me because if someone had criticized my hair while I was competing in the Olympics, I would have said, “Fuck you, that’s why you went broke and I won 8 Olympic medals.”

“I’ll help you with this: next time you want to comment on a black girl’s hair, JUST DON’T,” she wrote under the photo.
