Blueberry swirls anyone? 🌀🫐💙

When my client came to me with her hair colored and the expression hair to match, I just knew it was about to be a good one.

* this is called “Koroba” a style created in Nigeria in the 60s. @_rahilou and I recreated this style with a twist back in September. Glad to see people loving and inspired by this style. 😏🥰*

Inspired by Trevor Stuurman's beautiful work entitled "Tongoro Beauty", @leilamahalia said she wanted to look like art.

Cowrie shells were more than just currency in ancient cultures. These tiny treasures also symbolized wealth, fertility, and protection. 🐚✨

Thank you @trevor_stuurman for the beauty and inspiration in your art. 💫

Cicely Tyson braids in a ponytail inspired by the “Shuku” braids. Shuku is a traditional Yoruba hairstyle from Western Nigeria, which involves braiding a hump on top of the head to look like a basket; by making a braided high ponytail. It was a hair style originally reserved for wives of royalty, but now it is commonly worn by women of all ages and status.

“Roots” is an ongoing hair story @slayedinbraids & I have been collaborating on over the past couple years. Most times, we were unsure what exactly we were going to create until we sat down in the chair. The root of this story feels ever-changing but one of its reasons for existing is to show the diversity of styles you can achieve with braids, a centerpiece of our culture.

Thank you to our ongoing collaborators that help bring these ideas to life. None of this would be possible without everyone involved.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
