Here’s what the NaturallyCurly office can’t stop talking about right now.
Singer Rihanna was a guest coach on The Voice, and she gave 15-year-old curly-haired contestant Braiden Sunshine some matter-of-fact advice for making it in the industry. “Do something with that hair.” Her suggestion? Slicked back hair with a side part.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star and supermodel Cynthia Bailey is kicking off a “weave break” with a selfie of her natural hair in pigtails. “My edges are a little stressed and damaged.”
This K-Pop sensation is welcoming a new hair trend into their idol-filled world–loose wavy natural hair. Last Thursday’s Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards proved the hair type to indeed be a thing.
