When Meghan Thee Stallion returned to Instagram last week after taking some time off, fans sat up and took notice. The rapper, who has been sharing her efforts to nurture and grow her natural curls for nearly two years now, shared unfiltered photos of her rejuvenated mane. “Many women [and men] have decided to lay off styling products and ditch their regular cuts to experiment with a longer, more natural look,” shares Vaishakhi Haria, a hair stylist at splashthesalon.
