Afro natural beauty look is the new trend as people are beginning to value their Afro hair while realising that it promotes self esteem/self-love within the Black communities.
Benny has been growing his hair natural for 13 years. However, his motivation and success also comes from his beautiful wife and daughter who have also been part of the journey making it an exeption. He continue to enchant the world and has been a natural hair influencer and has even gained him 529 thousand Instagram followers, 28,510 facebook followers and 16 thousand twitter followers over the course. This is also partly due to Benny Harlem’s inspirational messages on self love and confidence in one-self.
He inspire people to go natural and embrace their God given gift by informaing and guiding people on how to maintain and achieve a long volume hair. Hair product from natural ingredients includes avocado, coconuts and more. He is indeed making big waves.
Benny also expresses great love for his daughter Jaxyn and keep educating his daughter to be confident and proud of her skin and heritage. His daughter is glad to have a wonderful dad like him. “Daddy is magical!” exclaims Jaxyn. “He really is the most wonderful man in the world. His soul inspires me to be my best. Daddy is my confidant and my teacher”. Jaxyn told VICE in an interview.
Born in New England, but moved to New York at a young age, Benny got his first taste of fame at the tender age of 11, after entering a talent contest at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theatre. “The crowd embraced me with an enormous empowering kind of love that I had never experienced before,” he reflects, “I won four consecutive weeks singing Otis Redding’s rendition of “Respect” and “Try a Little Tenderness.” Harlem has been the heart of my life’s experience ever since.”
Today, Benny’s fame extends a little bit further than Harlem, spreading all over the internet, thanks to a couple of pictures he posted two years ago of his seven-year-old daughter Jaxyn, and her now iconic matching hair. Below is a glimse of their natural hair photos. Yes it is indeed all natural.
