‘Natural Beauty at Its Best’: Fans Gush Over Masika Kalysha’s Naturally Curly Tresses

Masika Kalysha teases her fans with her naturally curly hair. The former “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” reality star suffered from heat damage and decided to chop off her long black hair a year ago. The model posted a video on social media to give viewers an inside look at how much her hair has grown since she did the big chop.

The star promoted her healthy hair by singing and dancing in the bathroom and swinging her curly tresses back and forth with a blow dryer in her hand. Kalysha told fans her hair takes a long time to dry because her hair is finally healthy. The reality star sported a grey crop top and a pair of black Calvin Klein shorts while showing off her curly locks.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
