With the season of giving approaching, what's more appropriate than giving thanks to our curly celebrities for being so amazing? These women are beautiful, successful, and great role models for curlies everywhere. They are an inspiration for all of us to embrace our curls and give back to the community.

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.
You tell'em ELA234!
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
ok really most pf the girls on there wear weave your not fooling anybody
Seriously..this site is about beautiful NATURAL curlies!!!! c'mon already..why do they post these people all the time.
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!?
I'm with curly princesa. India Arie, Alicia Keys, Julia Roberts, Yaya Dacosta...where are they?
Angelina Jolie??? Madonna?? TYRA??? Really...who came up with this..not considering that most people on this list do not have naturally curly hair
Shakira's native county is spelled "Colombia" ;)
