11 Natural Hair Instagram Accounts You Should be Following

by Shonette Reed

Like any hairstyle, it can be easy to get stuck in a rut with natural hair. When this happens, we sometimes want to switch it up, adding some diversity to our everyday natural hair style. I’m sure I’m not the only one who turns to the Internet when looking for new hairstyles. I love getting tips, reviews, and style ideas—especially when it comes to the upkeep of my hair.

But not always having a laptop or desktop available can sometimes get in the way of this. Luckily, having quick access to our phones saves the day, as Instagram is a great way to get hair tips and tricks. The following 11 instagram accounts offer information about stylists, salons, hairstyles, and just general natural hair inspiration.

Whether you’re a transitioning or have been a long-time naturalista, these are great Instagram accounts to follow for haircare and styling tips just for you!

@SUMETRAREED, Natural Hair Tips and Reviews

Hey beauties! Here's a pictorial on how I achieved this style. 5 flat twists and a wash and go for the shorter sections. I used @cantubeauty's leave in and curling custard. #GrowWithMetra #NaturalMetra

#protectivestyles idea! I only took my chunky twists down in the back and put my hair in a simple ponytail, I then rolled and pinned the front twists to make a cute style on the side. ✌

Hair details: Okay, so I braided my hair in sections. 5 sections total. I used @sheamoisture4u curling gel soufflé to braid it. The gel soufflé has a lot slip which allowed me to braid it without dealing with too many tangles. It also provides a great shine! I tied my hair down last night to prevent fly aways. I also pinned it with bobby pins. Hth! Thank you for the sweet comments and support! 💓💓💓 #mahoganycurls #abetterwaytobeautiful #naturalhairsistas #naturalhair #teamnatural
