4. Shakira
This curly she-wolf serves as an inspiration to Latinas everywhere. After failed attempts with local producers, she decided to do things her own way. The result? International fame, and a title as one of the most successful Latinas in entertainment. Sure, she’s got the hips and the curls, but did you know she is also an involved humanitarian? Shakira is passionate about a child’s right to quality education. At age 18, she created the Barefoot Foundation, a U.S non-profit and non-governmental organization partnered with the Pies Descalzos Foundation in Colombia, her native country. Named after her first album, the Barefoot Foundation not only works to spread awareness, but to provide children who are subjected to violence and poverty with education and nutritious meals. Already they have built six schools and have aided over 6,000 children. On top of that, Shakira is constantly meeting with world leaders to promote universal education, and she still has time to release a new album!

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.
