The Incredible Ig Artist Turning Natural Hair in Cosmic Works
Social media can be misleading. You see a glamorous shot, prepared and ultra-filtered that was probably the thousandth of someone's selfie. It's a distorted image of reality and often reality is really much longer than trying to be perfect on Instagram. Here are some struggles of life that are much more relative than a lean blogger account and Tan Travel.

The subject of natural hair is a polarizing hair, from the inside of our homes, to the discussions in the media. The hair of a black woman are enigmatic and mysterious - it scares some, while others are impressed with her beauty (as should be.)
Black women are still faced with stigma and judgment for naturally rocking hairstyles, especially for a period when there is so much cultural appropriation with hairstyles in the media. Thus, an artist has decided to change the conversation for the better and encourage women to embrace their beautiful locks.
The artist,Pierre Jean-Louis, is part of the latter. Its flawless muses already have magnificent scraps, and it makes them even more magnificent by inserting etheric cosmic worlds and floral arrangements. It takes the magic of natural hair and the student at another level.
The series is called "Black Girl Magic" and rightly. The word magic has been connected to black magic and negative connotations, but also to the wonderful beauty that surrounds black women, turning them into these celestial scenes.
It also helps that each of these women makes us extremely jealous and all goddesses of their own rights. But they can also help us manage our self-esteem problems. Jean-Louis says:"I was amazed how many black women finally let go of their insecurities and accept for whom they are."
This collection causes a social comment, forcing us to confront our feelings on natural hair, whatever they are, and learn to accept ours of its own magnificence, respect and enjoy natural hair.
Jean-Louis refers to his subjects and other black women as "beautiful black queens", and says he believes that mother nature is black, which gives us new information about his spectacular creations.
And boy, are they magnificent Queens. Most of his subjects are on Instagram, and one of them is a popular model in Toronto,@kirathleight
And this amazing freckle,@Joyjah, whose hair turns into the vertices of majestic green ferns that gently gather on his shoulders and fall on an eye, hopping against his unique face. Perfection.
I mean, look at this curly girl serving a serious cosmic ferocity with her star and lassal path, afro galaxy color, calling all natural girls to unite in their natural state.
