With the season of giving approaching, what’s more appropriate than giving thanks to our curly celebrities for being so amazing? These women are beautiful, successful, and great role models for curlies everywhere. They are an inspiration for all of us to embrace our curls and give back to the community.
1. Mariah Carey
Loving her curls and her curves, singer/songwriter Mariah is also heavily involved in The Fresh Air Fund, a non-profit agency committed to providing underprivileged children with a free summer experience. The Fresh Air Fund believes in the transformative power of outdoor physical activity, as well as any activity that will help children develop into successful adults. Mariah Carey is not only a board member but has her very own Camp Mariah. Camp Mariah serves as the fund’s “Career Awareness Camp,” helping youths explore career possibilities and educational paths available to them. Coming from a humble background as well, Mariah knows all about what these children need to succeed.

TYRA AND BEYONCE?! They don’t even wear their real hair, so to reference them in a natural hair article is pretty ridiculous. Wow, try some actual curly celebs next time. Who edited this!?

tyra, beyonce, and oprah: none of them wear their hair natural. When its curly, its done w/ a flat iron or a curling iron. I know beyonce and tyra DO have naturally curly hair, but don’t wear it that way

Can someone explain to me how wearing a wig makes you a “Natural Curly”? Well known wiggies (and I mean FULL Wiggies)…not clip in pieces here and there…would be Beyonce and Tyra. You might as well add Wendy Williams, Vivica Fox and that gold digging chick from Atlanta Housewives (Kim Zolciak)to this list because I see Wig Central posted here.

As a biracial person with very very NATURALLY curly hair, I find this list incredibly insulting. Not only are many, if not most people on this list shown with large, loose, highly styled hair, most of them do not have hair that could really be classified as curly enough to be on this website. Growing up, I struggled to accept my naturally curly hair because I was teased so much. Many people of color, especially African-Americans continue to think that their hair is not acceptable the way it is, because hair like theirs is never represented in the media. The media includes websites like this one. Using people like Oprah as an example is also a mistake; her hair in that image has been PROCESSED and re-styled with a curling iron. This is not natural! Get a clue naturallycurly.com: Cree Summer, Jasika Nicole, Corinne Bailey Rae, Solange Knowles…etc etc.
