But some people are gifted with amazing natural hair.
Especially in the Black community, natural hair can be a statement about no longer chemically altering hair to fit other people’s expectations.
While many of us weren’t gifted with the hair of our dreams, these 35 folks have tresses that are truly blessed. And we are seriously jealous.
1. The model mane
And we’re not at all surprised at her follower count because not only is she beautiful and stylish, but she has an incredible head of hair that she wears proudly.
Wouldn’t you if it looked this good?
2. Ravishing Rapunzel
Did you know that you can find inspo for super-long hair by using the hashtag #rapunzels?
This Rapunzel certainly reminds us of a fairy tale.
3. Bangin’ blow dry
From maintaining curls to preventing breakage, she’s the master of natural hair.
4. Grown to the ground
Can you imagine washing and drying this mane? We can’t imagine she does it everyday. Maybe that’s why her locks are so darn shiny.
5. Hair art
Of course, it helps when you’re a model.
As for the questions – we’re thinking BOTH.
6. Silver strands
Of course, once those first hairs pop up, this doesn’t happen overnight.
Still, seeing her rock it gives us hope.
7. Flip it!
Timofey Buga isn’t a model – he’s a teacher and IT student. But we think we’d buy a bottle of shampoo from him if he were in a commercial.
He certainly knows how to work those long locks!
8. Big and bold
But doesn’t this look incredible?
Granted, she’d be beautiful no matter what was on her head, but this massive mane is next-level.
9. Daddy-daughter ‘dos
Benny Harlem and his daughter Jaxyn are Instagram famous for their Afropunk vibe.
His Instagram account – with over half a million followers – is truly something to behold.
10. Twin tresses
This is TK Wonder and in addition to being a model (along with her twin), she’s the co-founder of @ArrestedVoicesLifted, which helps share stories of oppression.
The women’s own story is a devastating one, but they came out the other side with brains and beauty.
11. Soft and springy
Still, we’d love to be able to pull this off. But while some people are gifted with curls, others walk the straight and narrow when it comes to hair.
And the grass is always greener.
12. Growth goals
No matter what your hair texture is like, this kind of length and body is HARD to pull off.
It requires a lot of patience and effort – but the payoff is powerful!
13. Glorious gray
Gaby Correa has hundreds of hair photos on her Instagram account – each more dreamy than the next.
She does blow it out sometimes though – proving that even people with glorious hair still like to switch it up.
14. Taming the tot
Her hair diary has over a quarter of a million followers even though she’s grown into her tresses in the last few years.
15. Moneyed mane
Well, this is why it’s so unattainable – it’s basically the hair you would have had as a kid if your parents had let it grow this long.
But we can’t deny that Bozhena Zharina clearly has some good genes going for her as well.
16. On a kid kick
Just look at Mia Aflalo Shunem!
Sure, her hair is styled for volume, but have you ever seen this much hair on anyone of any age?!
It’s the thickness of those gorgeous tresses that really make us jealous.
17. Rock the mohwak
In fact, she calls this a fro-hawk, and she even posts tutorials on her YouTube channel.
18. The biggest braid
In fact, it’s the star of the show, whether braided or blowing in the wind.
We weren’t even blessed with the ability to braid this well, much less with the hair to pull it off.
19. Coiffed cutie
And we really shouldn’t be jealous of a 4-year old, right?
But isn’t it just a little unfair that she has such amazing hair?
20. Watch it flow
But this founder of an Indigenous design studio and consulting firm knows how to make her tresses do all the work.
Just play the video and you’ll see what we mean.
21. Model muse
The goal of her LLC “is to provide quality products, services, and events that exceed excellent customer service to spread Albinism Awareness.”
22. Ravishing redhead
We just don’t want to have to work for it.
And we know that even if it comes naturally, it still takes a lot of effort to keep great hair in shape.
23. Long and luscious
Of course, many wigs are made with Indian hair because it’s so strong and thick.
But these tresses aren’t for trade.
24. Radiant ringlets
We hope they appreciate their hair as much as we do. We’ve seen people pay good money for that kind of color dimension!
25. Wild grace
But some people truly are born with it.
And young people have the time and energy to style all that gorgeous hair.
26. Manly mane
But the hair has to come in second place, right?
27. Locks of luxury
We don’t know who this model is, but we know she makes a statement every time she walks into a room.
Most of us can only daydream about this kind of hair.
28. Springy splendor
But look at the shine on these strands!
Whether it’s in a man bun or on the run, we’re wild for this wild mane.
29. Nurture the natural
But spending the time when they’re young to teach them how to take pride in their appearance and even give them decision-making abilities over their hair can be key to their confidence later on.
30. Redhead revival
But with hair like this, you really can’t go wrong.
Natural redheads just have something the rest of us can’t replicate.
31. Little Rapunzel
Her soft, flowing hair shows just how gorgeous long hair is even when you just leave it alone.
32. Dark and dreamy
When she decides to straighten it, it’s well past her knees. And we just love how she adds some edge to the bottom – always keeping those ends healthy!
33. Little lad, bit locks
But people don’t always have nice things to say about his magnificent mane. His mother has gotten a lot of criticism for letting him grow his hair so long.
At the very least, those folks are just jealous.
34. A natural blond
And to top it off, she doesn’t have any banding from sun damage or other processing.
This is hair most people couldn’t even dream of.
35. Sister style
Cipriana’s Instagram is full of adventure, style, and gorgeous hair selfies as well as twin snaps featuring, of course, their amazing hair.
