CURLY ESSENCE/PHOTO BY SYANA FROM PARIS 

Natural hair is being celebrated in a much-deserved light lately. Take, for example, model Maria Borges, who recently rocked an au naturel puff at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Borges looked like an absolute goddess walking the runway with confidence and grace sans a weave or extensions. However, while natural hair is praised and encouraged, it requires a strict regimen to keep it looking its best. Which is why bloggers are a total godsend when it comes to getting the best tips, product recommendations, and look inspiration. 

We scoured the Internet for some of the best blogs that unlock the key to stunning natural strands (with a generous dose of female empowerment to boot).

You may remember seeing Grasie of Grasie Mercedes on Who What Wear's Fall Denim Guide. There are several reasons why we love her, one being that she has a ton of great hair hacks and tips that she pairs with must-have looks.

Brunson also has her own Etsy shop called Folie Apothecary full of natural beauty products we can't wait to get our hands on.

UN-RULY

Un-ruly

Un-ruly is a perfectly ironic blog name to juxtapose the social construct of natural hair with the appreciation and celebration of "the versatility and beauty of Black hair and women," as outlined on the site. It's an incredible space for women to be inspired by other women's stories of how their natural hair is shaping their lives.
