#10: TEYONAH PARRIS SLAYS JASMINE COIL - CLOSURE WIG
This was a moment of texture featuring our Jasmine Coil Closure Wig. You can see and feel the regal allure to it. Teyonah is a talented actress and naturalista who completely identifies with natural texture. She proudly chose True + Pure Texture’s signature Afro-Coily texture, Jasmine Coil, to elevate her own natural style and slay this gorgeous 4C afro-kinky Jasmine Coil Closure Wig look.
#9: TRUE COLORS GORGEOUS GRAY - RELAXED NATURAL EXTENSIONS
This is a flawlessly gorgeous moment for gray hair, styled by the phenomenal Kara Williams aka “Hair Color Killa” using our kinky straight True Colors Gorgeous Gray Relaxed Natural Extensions. This timeless look represents a level of maturity and the beautiful beingness of longevity everyone can resonate with in seeing. Why? Because this visual reflects something we will all have with God’s grace…gray hair. To see it in this beautiful fresh light is something not to be covered up, it’s to be celebrated and elevated.
#8: HONEY BLONDE LAYLA CURL - CLIP INS (L'OREAL MIZANI COLOR SHOOT)
This is what we call a “Larger Than Life” bombshell and everlasting texture moment. I styled this beautiful honey blonde colored style for a L'oreal Mizani product launch, using our coily curly Layla Curl Clip Ins. This look showcases the beauty of Layla and how the True + Pure Texture premium best-in-class real human hair quality of this coily curly texture keeps its consistency even when you color it. The “Larger Than Life” color and volume wows, becoming a landmark image for a global brand.
This look became a trendsetter early in the textured hair movement years ago. A lot of textured hair imagery today emulates this artistic expression of texture I styled for this L’oreal Mizani shoot with Layla Curl years ago.
#7: ISSA RAE SLAYS LAYLA CURL CLIP INS
WE LOVE ISSA!!! Issa has rocked with True + Pure Texture for years now, along with her fabulous hairstylist Felicia Leatherwood, as Issa has worn our textured curly hair extensions on “Insecure” and red carpets like the SAG Awards.
For this amazing look using our True + Pure Texture coily curly Layla Curl Clip Ins, I flew down to South Beach Miami during a summer weekend to the African American Film Festival to style Issa.
I did 3 textured curly hair extensions styles for Issa over the 3 day weekend, and this look was the grand finale. I created this “hella texture” Up/Down style with a jumbo bun channeling a forward pompadour with tight sides, laced with accessory natural hair ornamentation. This was so distinctively African and telling of Black excellence in full throttle. #RootingForEverybodyBlack

#6: JESSICA “JUDY” DUPART SLAYS JASMINE COIL - TRUPART FOR THE WEDDING OF THE DECADE
I got the once-in-forever opportunity to style the beautiful bride for the “Wedding of the Decade” - using True + Pure Texture’s Jasmine Coil TruPart. ”Celebrity entrepreneur and Founder/CEO of Kaleidoscope, Jesseca Harris-Dupart aka “Judy” personally requested I style her to create a timeless texture style moment for her wedding day with Da Brat, wearing a glamourous Jasmine Coil 24 inch TruPart Wig. Judy broke the internet and made the cover of People Magazine with this elevated textured hair moment in her TruPart that seamlessly accentuated and volumized her very own natural and beautiful Type 4 textured hair tresses.

#5: TEXTURE LOVE + UNITY ISLAND CURL - CLOSURE WIG
Twin…where have you been? She’s right with her bestie, living their best unapologetic soft life, in our glamorous Island Curl Closure Wig. This is one of our flagship and most timeless True + Pure Texture shero images, which I styled and did a shoot for early in the texture movement years ago.
You can feel the abstract, unapologetic and dynamic take on the intimacy of curly textured hair in this look. I deliberately left it open for interpretation. However you want to feel about it, is how you should feel about it. It’s the juxtaposition of hair and intimacy which some of us lean into, while others are uncomfortable. Sometimes it just is what it is…because it’s all rooted in self-love liberation.
#4 BEYONCE SLAYS ISLAND CURL WIG
Queen Bee…Period.
*Styled by @Jawara for Cécred Shoot*
#3 ONE WOMAN EVERY TEXTURE: ALL 6 TRUE + PURE TEXTURES
I had a vision to unlock the hidden magic within every woman of texture that represents 70% of the globe, by creating a True + Pure campaign that represented the infinite array of every textured woman…within one!
The One Woman Every Texture campaign features Soni, the highly coveted model, hairstylist, and influencer. This texture queen, born in the Congo, survived the Rwanda genocide as a little girl (read more here) – and channeled all her inner goddess power during this shoot to slay every texture within the True + Pure textured hair extensions universe.
Just like the magical resilience and beauty of the Black woman, our Black hair is a magnificent extension of our greatness. As you can see in this powerful visual - with Black textured hair, you can transform it into a looser or tighter curl. Blow it out, stretch it out, or wand it out – and with the right care it can always bounce back to its original textured state. And the textured hair extensions within the True + Pure universe can naturally volumize your look even more…with ease. #SoftLifeApproved

#2 TEXTURE IS THE APEX: JASMINE COIL CLIP INS
This texture dream scene featuring Jasmine Coil Clip Ins embodies the infinite potentiality to why “Texture is the Apex” - and the apex is absolutely texture.
This style is scientifically impossible to create with straight hair. She has natural textured hair that is buoyant and defies gravity. No hairspray, wind fans, or photoshop. It’s our natural divine birthright, where every hair possesses DNA magic.
The statement: I do this, and our hair does this.
This is a flex of “Our Hair.”
Within this Afro-Kinky-Coily-Curly texture canvas, rises the Afrofuturistic essence of a transcendental celestial being. She's what I imagine a Black archangel looks like. Heavenly and divine. Someone that can grant wishes and protect me. Yes, this Black woman, with gorgeous 4C hair texture, is a supreme being - styled in the image and likeness of God.
#1 THE UNAPOLOGETIC QUEEN: JASMINE COIL - CLIP INS (CUSTOM COLOR)
Our #1 Look - “The Unapologetic Queen.” This iconic look featuring a voluminous Jasmine Coil Clip Ins style, is a true door-breaker, capturing a viral moment at the pinnacle of the inclusion movement. It features a curvy woman with a complexion that celebrates a unique representation of Blackness, adorned with dark freckles that challenge monolithic perceptions.
Her hair is the epitome of unapologetic texture – a powerful, voluminous crown that commands attention and respect. It's a style that embodies both warmth and ferocity, embracing viewers while daring them to look away.
This queen exudes an aura of quiet intensity. She could vaporize you with a glance, but instead chooses to sip her tea, radiating a "killing you softly" energy. Her presence is both regal and revolutionary, like a monarch who could behead you…but prefers to rule through sheer magnetism.
The look creates a trend in the multiverse of complexion, showcasing how we show up in the diaspora of Blackness. It's a powerful message that we create everything – our identity, our beauty, our narrative.
Glow Up, Bow Down.
