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 Designs
Accented Glory designs are created for Naturals by Naturals. My team consists of myself and three daughters; we all are Naturals! Our brand demonstrates our firsthand understanding of natural hair care needs through our quality designs and services. Below are 5 reasons why our customers LOVE Accented Glory's designs! Afrocentric Vibes
Our customers love the Afrocentric Vibe of our hair accessory and jewelry designs! The majority of our designs are created with 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. Cowrie shells are also believed to be a gift from the goddess of the water Mami Wata. She's the most celebrated mermaid like deity from Africa. You too can feel like an African Goddess by rockin' Accented Glory's designs!
Natural Hair Friendly
Our hair accessory designs are created with fabrics and materials that minimize damage to kinky, coily, and curly hair. We avoid using coarse fabrics that can cause friction with natural hair and lead to breakage. Many of our designs are created with satin fabric to evade hair breakage and drying out of natural hair.
Durability is a top complaint from Naturals when it comes to hair accessories! Since most natural hair care regimens includes oils, we also avoid using adhesives when possible and reinforce design with hand stitching. Oils can break down adhesives and affect durability. Adjustable Headbands
Another concern we hear about from Naturals is headband headaches! These headaches are known as compression headaches caused by constant pressure on forehead, crown of head, behind the ears, and nap of neck. All of Accented Glory's headband designs are adjustable and provides a remedy for these headaches. Our adjustable headbands allows our customers to control the tension!
Team Save Edges
Accented Glory is Team Save Edges! Often times hair accessories get a bad rap and are accused of causing damage. Yes, all hair accessories aren’t created equal, BUT most damage comes from simply wearing too tight accessories. We put the tension control back into the hands of our customers with our hair accessory designs. Pretty shouldn’t hurt!
Comfortable Wear
We wear test all of our designs to ensure that they are not only stylish, but also comfortable. One of the most common styles worn by women with natural hair is the Afro Puff. Many use an elastic band, ribbon, and even pantyhose to create this style. Sometimes these methods can be painful and cause headaches.
Our customers avoid the pain with Accented Glory's signature design Afro Puff Holder! It holds your Afro Puff in place and accent your hairstyle at the same time. It's also made with ouchless bands to protect natural hair from damage! So, what are you waiting for? Join our Accented Glory Fam and experience first hand the LOVE our customers have for us. You can also shop with us on Amazon for some of our top sellers below. Tonya - Accessory Designer of Accented Glory
