Once you join Team Natural, there are a few Instagram gurus that typically get instant follows. Mahoganycurls, Naptural85, Taren Guy and Bwatuwant (Britney Watkins) quickly become go-to resources during the early days of twist outs and heatless stretching. But there is a whole world of untapped covetable coils out there that aren’t getting the coconut oil shine that they deserve.
