Isimeme Edeko, also known as, HalfAfrican Beaute was one of the very first natural hair youtubers that I found in 2016. She makes her videos step by step and very personal, to the point where you feel like you both are going through your natural hair journeys together. Not only does she have the perfect hairstyles for summer, but her channel includes many different protective styles like wigs and braids. If you are looking for exciting step-by-step videos for a 4A/4B naturalista with versatility, this channel is the way to go.

Chime is another naturalista creator that I couldn’t go without watching! Chime is the youtuber that I go to for all of my natural hair questions. She has videos ranging from tutorials, to balancing moisture for natural hair, tips you should know about being natural, growth tips, history of Melanin, and more. She not only gives us strong tutorial content, but she does an amazing job at informing us how to take the best care of our hair possible.

I love finding the Youtube hidden gems, especially for natural hair. I stumbled across ‘The Gloved Natural’ when looking for the perfect deep conditioners for Type 4 hair and I’ve been hooked ever since. Her channel is extremely product based! So, for my natural ladies who are struggling to find the right products and product mixes to try out, The Gloved Natural is for you! And, like any great Youtuber she offers protective hairstyling options too!!

Last, but certainly not least is the ‘Flexi Rod Gawd’ Ms. Janae Mason. Janae’s channel is very hard to miss with her perfect flexi rod set tutorial. Janae, like the others offers a plethora of tutorials for many different hairstyles but excels in the setting hairstyles. The setting hairstyles to me are the flexi rod sets, two strand twist sets, and bantu knot outs. She has the perfect balance of body and defined curls. Watching her videos, I can feel the energy and excitement that she has for natural hair and the love that her healthy natural hair has for her back!
Don’t hesitate to check these ladies out, and more on Youtube and on their socials. Happy Styling!
