‘Yass Edges’: Masika Kalysha Stuns Fans with Her Laid and Slayed Edges

Masika Kalysha appears to be snatching wigs in her newest beauty post. The model took a selfie in her car and gave fans an up-close look at her naturally black hair. The former “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” cast member threw her hair into a messy bun, but her full edges are what made her fans stop and stare at the photograph.

Kalysha prepared for her photo by wearing a full glam of makeup along with a pair of gold hoop earrings. The reality star posed for her picture with one hand behind her black tresses while also making sure her pink lips were pointed toward the camera. She seemingly was showing off her new lipstick, but social media users appeared to have fallen in love with her thick edges instead.

One user commented,”#edgesfleeky🙌🏾.”

A second fan wrote, “Yass edges🙌🏾.”

“Someone lost some little pounds 😍❤️,” gushed a third fan.

“The baddest🔥😍,” a fourth user said.

A fifth fan commented, “Yes Sika 😍🔥🙌🏾.”

“Come thru bone structure so beautiful🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😍,” a sixth complimented.

Kalysha chopped her hair off a year ago due to heat damage. However, the star recently sported her naturally curly locks on social media. Kalysha revealed that she takes hair growth supplements as well as uses hair growth oils to maintain her thick long black tresses.

Fans tend to give their two cents on Kalysha’s looks. Last year, she came under fire for appearing to look lighter in her beauty posts. People accused her of bleaching her skin to fit in with society’s standards of beauty. Kalysha clapped back at critics on social media. She went on to express that she finds pitting women against one another because of their skin color to be disturbing.

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.
