African-American women spend over $7.5 billion in beauty products in the U.S every year. Many "Women in Color" video bloggers, or "WOC" video bloggers, as they are often called, have taken upon themselves to educate the black community when it comes to natural beauty and skin care. Many of them review beauty products to see which ones are good and which are not. Others just lead by example and provide tutorials on hair care and makeup.
