One thing that I love about the natural hair community is the sense of sisterhood that you feel. You’re constantly being hyped up- sharing hair care tips, learning about new products and learning new techniques and styles to try. Women bond over their hair, so it’s beautiful to see them uplifting each other in this way. The upkeep and maintenance of natural hair is enough to make us crazy; it’s nice to have people to go to who understand those same struggles.
In my leisure time, I’m on YouTube checking out the latest videos from some of my favorite natural hair vloggers. I’m always learning about a new product, tips to make my process easier or a new style to try. I grow tired sometimes of wearing my hair in the same two ways that I style my hair, so it’s cool to get some hair inspiration here and there. Check out a few of my favorite natural hair influencers below!
Yolanda Renee, @etcblogmag
Yolanda Renee has done a bit of everything with her hair. From bantu knot outs and twist outs to headwraps and protective styles, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. She even does tutorials on a lot of cute styles for her daughters. View her YouTube channel here
Trophie Douglas, @trophdoph
Trophie is literally the product plug! She’s always reviewing a new product from brands like TGIN and Mielle Organics. She has such a wide range of content, you can easily get lost in her videos. She’s your stop for style inspiration, as she’s done literally everything to her hair—and she’s nowhere near finished! View her YouTube channel here
Kia Marie, @thenotoriouskia
I love the content that Kia has on her channel. There are fashion videos and lookbooks, hauls, vlogs, chitchats, hair tips and advice, tutorials and more. Her signature curly fro will have you wanting to switch up your routine. Oh, and her music selection is BOMB! View her YouTube channel here
Joy Navon, @joynavon
Joy’s channel was a lifesaver for me when my hair was shorter! I loved seeing a woman with thicker, short hair flourishing. She has all kinds of cute videos on how she styles her hair, from wash-and-go’s and fluffy rod sets to space buns and flat twist outs. She even has some great makeup tutorials as well.

Only One Jess, @onlyonejess_
Jess is hair inspiration all around! She has tutorials on so many cute styles that leave me trying to plan out how to style my hair for the next few weeks. She has tutorials on twist outs, half up half down styles, braided styles, rod sets, clip in extensions, crochet styles, trendy styles and much more. Her hair always comes out looking amazing!
