Black Girl With Long Hair
You might know Amber Riley as a star of Glee, or the season 17 (and only black woman) winner of Dancing with the Stars or as Addaperle The Good Witch of the North in the record-breaking The Wiz Live! on NBC. What you might now know is she is a naturlista who frequently gives her Instagram followers an inside look at her hair journey. Her are 9 times Amber Riley flossed her natural hair adorably on Instagram.
When she did half up and half down.
When she gave us a post-gym selfie.
Photo caption: Hair battle yesterday. I lost and it only got worse after my workout! Oh well!
When she gave us a wash day selfie
Photo caption: Wash day oh no…
When she loved her skin
Photo caption: “But your skin’s the inspiration for cocoa butter…”
When she did a puff and embraced her black girl magic
Photo caption: I used to pray for straight hair and blue eyes. Now I’m like wtf was I thinking?!? That’s beautiful too, but it just ain’t ME! Lol These brown eyes and naps are IT #blackgirlmagic
@missdrini look at my brows!!! They’re better I did good? Yes?
When she shared her second-day hair struggle
Photo caption: It took me 20min to get my hair in a proper top knot I’m not taking it down for bed. I have to at least get two days of wear out of this lol goodnight #naturalhairproblems #carpaltunnel
When she gave us a pink lip.
Photo caption: Gonna go get in some trouble w/ @charmladonna
When she loved her bare-face beauty
Photo caption: I’ve been sick so I’ve been MIA Instagram. Here is a pic of my puffy face and tired eyes. NYC got the best of me lol but I’m still happy to be here working ? took my weave out and rocking my natural curls. Sometimes you have to just strip down all the extras and take a look at yourself bare and say I AM BEAUTIFUL! I chopped it earlier this year and my natural hair journey has been rough, but I am embracing it and even the shrinkage. I love changing my look every now and again. And turning the big 3-0 (I know I still look 12, I’m aware!) has put me in such a contemplative state when it comes to me loving and learning who I am now. But enough of rambling! Hope you guys had a great week! #notesfrommyjournal
When she gave us full fro.
Photo caption: Fro-Tastic! Stripped down, no hair and no makeup, just me and I’m lovin it! #lovethyselfie @msashleymriley wake up and do my hair. Thanks lol
