These Twin Sisters Were Ashamed Of Their Incredible Hair, But Now They Became Famous For It
Meet identical twins Cipriana Quann and TK Wonder – the girls that make heads turn when they walk the streets.
A while ago, the now fashion models hated their luscious hair: “I was beginning to actually hate my hair and seeing it as a huge obstacle,” Cipriana said. But as time passed, they decided to stop straightening it, and start embracing it. Which eventually led the photo models to be recognized as the queens of natural hair, bringing Instagram envy all around the world.
But the sisters aren’t just pretty faces… Along with their friend Nikisha Brunson, they’re also the girls behind the natural hair blog “Urban Bush Babes.” “I think it came to a point where it was derogatory toward people who wore their natural hairstyles, and there was a certain stigma around people who wore their hair natural or in an afro,” TK Wonder said. “It was about breaking down stereotypes and derogatory perceptions that people had about natural hair.” Now, whatever the twins do, they do it with ambition, confidence, passion, and, of course, great hair.

Share on FacebookAfro hair looks dense... It's fluffy and light...
Load More Replies...I like the look, it's stunning. But wondering the same thing: how heavy it is and how to wash it?
I used to have my hair like that as a little kid, not as long. Trust me, it's ridiculously HARD but very worth it, because cultural roots.
Load More Replies...Their hair is beautiful. I don't know where the stigma came from, but like most stigmas, I find it absurd. Flaunt your locks, ladies!
:( Unfortunately it's part of the oppression of African Americans, probably in most white countries, but definitely especially in the US.

Load More Replies...This is great! I grew up feeling different because of my big, curly hair. It's incredible how people seem to think curly or frizzy somehow isn't "normal", like you're some kind of altered species. Now I don't care much but I see my teenage kids going through the same insecurities. These two gorgeous twins certainly help to set new role models.
I have flat straight hair and have always wanted very curly hair. It is beautiful! Maybe the insecurities come from people looking; which I do; but out of awe of the beauty and not because it is different!
Load More Replies...Their hairstyles look amazing! It's a shame that so many judge them for something that is a natural way of hair structure. That makes it even better that they fully embrace the beauty of it, now!
I'm sorry to hear these women felt awkward about their hair before. I'm happy they have overcome this, and interested to learn more about stigmas people face if they choose to wear their afros naturally. Not only are these ladies stunning...they're also educating. good on them!
