There’s virtually no limit to the things natural hair can do.

Twists, braids or natural kinks and coils are just a few of them. For inspiration on how to style your own tresses, look no further than YouTube.

Aside from a trusted local stylist, YouTube and social media such as Instagram are great resources for many natural-haired men and women.

Several natural-hair influencers are based in Atlanta. Here are five of them.
