5 celebrities who inspire us to go ‘natural’

To chop or not to chop? That is the question! Spring is here and while we all love our box braids, cornrows and enhanced afro’s the maintenance can be a bit overwhelming at times. The great news… although for many of us, natural hair has always been “in” it is now a “movement.”

From many Black celebrities like Tyra Banks to some of the biggest beauty bloggers across the web, African women are putting down the flat irons and picking up a pair of scissors. That’s right, they’re chopping off what some have called their struggle mane in the name of achieving a healthy hair journey. After all, it’s health over length… right ladies?
