The Real Housewives of Atlanta daughter showed before-and-after photos of her ongoing hair journey.
In fall 2023, Riley Burruss embarked on a natural hair journey, and she's brought us along for the ride ever since. “She’s natural now,” The Real Housewives of Atlanta daughter proclaimed over a September 2023 Instagram Story, showing her shorter curly hairstyle that contrasted the waist-length micro braids, long black locks, gorgeous crimson strands, and more she's rocked in the past.
Now, Riley is giving an update on how her hair has been doing since she decided to grow it out. Additionally, Riley's mom, Kandi Burruss, responded to the update in the best way.

Riley Burrus explains her hair journey
Back in September 2023, when Riley decided to go fully natural, she hopped on TikTok to share more details about the process.
“I also took out my braids the other day, like, randomly — knowing that I don’t actually know how to do my real hair,” she said in the video. “So the past couple of days have been a real journey. The past few days have consisted of me asking my mom, ‘OK, how do I — what should I do when I go to sleep? Should I twist it? Should I brush it?’ I have a million questions and she’s sending me a million products.”
Riley said styling her natural hair is also quite time-consuming, so much so that it’s made her late on multiple occasions.
“I’m not used to that. I [used to] throw on a wig and go,” she continued. “But now it’s, like, OK I have to brush my hair out, unbraid it, brush it, put products on it — it’s a lot.”
Even so, the Georgia native seems happy with her current journey and we're so here for it!
