My Top YouTube Channels For Natural Hair

In NO order, here's a list of my favorite YouTubers who continues to help me along with my own journey. So, without further ado, meet:
BeautifulBrwnBabyDol
A head full of kinkylious hair!! On her channel she discusses her hair, gives tutorials, tips, ideas.She even discusses her weight loss journey and has workout videos as well and motivational speaking.BBBD received her last relaxer in April 2006 and hasn't looked back since. Her website

                                                                                
 BlackOnyx77  gives many tutorials and tips on her channel. Her original hairstyles are fabulous. She even has a website where she sells natural hair products, jewelry and much more.














KimmayTube Who says black hair can't grow long??!!! KimmayTube is living proof that with care, patience and protective styling, your hair can flourish and grow to great lengths. Using scientific evidence, KT explains topics such as ph levels and heat damage. On her website she sells many hair accessories.


                                                                       Naptural85
This is the hair that I am jealous of!. On Naptural85's channel she offers many tutorials and a couple of 'do-it-yourself' videos. She has another YouTube channel mainly to interact with subscribers.



                                                                   NikkiMae2003
NikkiMae's channel is very resourceful for those who have TWAs(teenieweenieafros). Although she no longer has one, there are plenty of videos that she made when she did. She even recorded her BIGCHOP!! She shares her tutorials, advice and tips on her blog as well.



PRETTYDIMPLES01 is the queen of natural hairstyles!! She has countless tutorials of her original styles and even coloring her hair. If you ever get bored with the same old twist-out, braid-out or afro puff(guilty), her channel is the one to look at!! Check out www.PrettyDimples.com


                                                                         
spicyeve
She's hilarious!!! Are you a college student and natural? Spicyeve's channel is for you. Her channel consists mainly of product reviews and discussions on being natural on a college budget.



taren916 is one of YouTube's favorite natural biracial chicks! If you have that texture that isn't wavy but isn't quite kinky either, then her channel is for you. Her channel consists of everything from tutorials, natural hair controversy discussions, a big chop, her weight gain journey and a lot more!! Her website is also available where she documents different events in her life.                   

                                                                                              

                                                                     SumKindaWndrful
I enjoy her channel mostly for the inspiration that she gives. She has many tutorials and she documents certain aspects of her life. Here is her blog.


NappyChronicles She chooses to wear her hair in its natural shrunken state. And she looks good with it. Her channel consists mainly discussions on the many aspects of hair and hair health. She even has a video of her doing her daughters hair. Too cute!




jerseystylezz Her channel offers numerous tutorials!!! She has documented her natural hair journey from having a TWA to her hair being past her collar bone. So there are a range of hairstyles that she has for women with different lengths of hair. She also has her own website where she sells her own natural hair products. 

YouTube and the Natural Hair Community

www.youtube.com




There is something very powerful about YouTube. In the summer of 2010, I considered myself to be 'natural', not even knowing what 'natural' truly is. I wanted to do something special with my hair and I remember my friend (a lochead) suggesting that I go onto YouTube for tutorials. I was introduced to a world that I didn't even know existed. The Natural Hair Community. So, to anyone newly natural, thinking about going natural, looking for new styles, tutorials, inspiration or tips, look on YouTube!!
