Kyle Meeks, Jasmine Peters, Aerin Wells and India Brown are close friends of Banks and also share a great interest in hair. In fact, the group’s passion for natural hair has sparked an idea, one that has grown into a project bigger than their initial intentions. This project is called the Naturally You.
