Since the natural hair revolution began, there have been countless blogs and vlogs that have been created giving reviews on hair products, hair care regimen, and style tutorials.
Across the region, there have been a number of women creating their own platforms to talk about their own hair journey (the good and the bad), as well as share tips and advice on hair care and styling. They’re all important in giving hair advice specific to their followers in the Caribbean, especially since they have to deal with conditions different to their American counterparts such as year-round humidity.
Here are 10 natural hair bloggers and vloggers from across the Caribbean you should start following:
Nelly B. (Trinidad and Tobago)
As one of the co-founders of Nappy Roots (6 Degrees of Napp) and co-administrators for the Caribbean Ppl With Natural Hair on Facebook, Tshenelle Bethel’s blog is “a day in the life of a plus-sized naturalista”.
