Hi! I'm Tonya Cross, the visionary and accessory designer at Accented Glory. I launched Accented Glory with my three daughters, Deseré, Cierra, and Gabrielle.
We are all naturals and before launching Accented Glory, noticed that hair accessories in retail stores catered to young girls and were not natural hair friendly. This void inspired us to create a brand that offers hair accessories for adult women with natural hair, created with materials that minimize damage to textured hair, provides a comfortable wear, and endures natural hair care regimens.
We choose fabrics and materials that don't cause friction with kinky, coily, and curly hair and assist in maintaining healthy tresses. We test wear our designs to ensure they are not only stylish but comfy. We also minimize use of adhesives and rubbers, knowing that oils used on natural hair have the potential to break down these materials; affecting the longevity of the hair accessory design.

My daughters and I also co-manage Accented Glory Naturals, a Facebook group for people with natural hair. Our natural hair group is unique in that we share content beyond natural hairstyles and hair care tips - we share natural hair news, business, culture, and humor. In addition, we host in-person and online events for our group members relating to natural hair.
Accented Glory demonstrates our understanding of natural hair care needs through our designs. As a brand created by naturals for naturals, we appreciate your business. Click here for media kit.
And remember…No look is complete without great accessories!
