While working at my design station last month, I saw one of my designs on Hulu! I was watching Clotilda: The Return Home documentary film and was like hey...that's my design. I was so excited.  I reached out to my customer that was in the film to thank her for wearing my design throughout most of the film. Since then she has sent me film screening photos of herself wearing the design for me to share and we've become Facebook friends. Moments like this is what keeps me inspired and motivated as an artist! My customer said the hair accessory design is her favorite and she wears it all the time. If feels great to know I've created something that has become a part of someone's everyday life! My Afro Puff Holder is my signature design; it was created for the most common style worn by naturals, The Afro Puff! My cowrie shell design is created with 7 cowrie shells. The number 7 represents divine and perfection. Click Amazon or Etsy to go to design's listing on platforms!

No look is complete without great accessories! Tonya Cross - Accessory Designer  Cowrie Shell Afro Puff Holder
I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. A natural newbie who had "big chopped" and now had a TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) reached out to me via direct message. She was very proud of herself for taking the plunge and embracing her natural hair, but struggled with the confidence of rocking short hair. She reached out to me looking for ways to style her small afro; she wanted to add some "pop" to her hair. Accented Glory's Afro Puff Holder was the design that I recommended to solve her natural hair woes!
One of the most common styles worn by new naturals and those who keep their hair short is the Afro Puff. The puff is a very quick and easy style. Many naturals use an elastic band, ribbon, and even pantyhose to create this style. Because of this fact, one of Accented Glory's first hair accessory designs was our Afro Puff Holder. This design is versatile and provide an all in one option; it holds the puff in place and accent the hairstyle. This natural hair friendly design is created with a round ouchless band; the round shape minimize cutting into hair and causing damage. There are also no metal connectors to worry about getting hair tangled in. Accented Glory's two most popular Afro Puff Holder designs is the pearl and cowrie shell. The pearl design is created with sixteen pearls. Pearls exemplify wisdom and the number sixteen represents intuition. Our cowrie shell design has seven cowrie shells. Cowrie shells have African roots and portrays a message of respect, honor, and inspiration. The shell is the first symbol of money and wealth known to mankind. The number seven represents spiritual perfection and completion. Whether you're a natural hair newbie or simply enjoy wearing a short afro, We Got You! Add some glam to the classic Afro Puff natural hairstyle with Accented Glory's Afro Puff Holders. Shop for our design on Amazon or Etsy.
