‘Chaka Kahn Hair’: Reginae Carter Makes Waves with Her Voluminous Hair And Fans Are In Awe

Reginae Carters new hairstyle is causing quite the buzz on the Internet. The former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast member stunted on the ‘Gram by wearing a purple two-piece see-through lingerie set along with a half-up, half-down hairstyle. The star’s voluminous tresses hung down her back; and while she was seemingly serving up body goals in her steamy set, fans were flabbergasted over her luscious locks.

Carter posed for her glam shot by sitting on a large grey couch. The model was posted up next to four pink Chanel designer pillows and appeared to be serving face with her pink smoky eyeshadow look. Carter was seemingly at home as she labeled her photo with the caption, “Netflix & chill 💋
#savagefentyambassador.”

Social media users exploded with excitement over her hairdo and took to the ‘Gram to voice their reactions.

“I love you with Big Chaka Kahn hair.. 🔥🔥🔥,” a fan said.

A second user complimented her by saying, “It’s the hair and makeup for me 😩😍.”

“Please keep your hair like this 😍😍😍,” a third user begged.

“You look like a black Barbie in a Barbie doll box💞💕 so pretty and cute💕💕💕,”a fourth fan chimed in.

“Keep this hair!!! 🔥,” a fifth user urged.

A sixth fan wrote, “Okay Hair🔥,” to describe how much she loved her locks.

Carter is known for sporting big natural hair as her signature look. However, she sometimes switches her hair up when the seasons change. Last October, she appeared to have rocked auburn hair to celebrate the beginning of fall.

Carter switched her long black locks to honey blonde tresses last summer as well. Hair naturally turns lighter in the summertime, so this could be a reason why Carter wanted to change her mane to a lighter color.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
