Fans were full of praise.

“It’s very natural and brave.”

Reid’s frequently gone makeup-free in Instagram videos when she candidly explains political issues.

She was motivated after experiencing extensivehair damage.

“My hair was completely falling out,” she explained toBlack Enterprise.

“It was damaged, people were putting so much heat sometimes I would see steam coming up.”

After garnering compliments from her audience in 2018, Reid repeated this same strategy in 2021.

In June 2024, Reid showcased her natural texture when she revealed a close-cropped hairstyle that was dyed blond.

“It’s #HairFreeSummer everybody!”

In a follow-up post, Reid noted the positive reception her new look received on social media.

As further evidence of its success, Reid has kept thiseffortlessly manageable haircutfor over a year and a half.

Beyond her natural hair and makeup-free looks, Reid has also shown her fans a partial makeup look.

“Was feeling cute … (and this is after I took my lashes off!)”

Reid captioned the video, praising Barbie Lee’s makeup products.
