Hair Street Style: 49 Hairstyles to Wear to Your Next Hair Meetup

For hair inspiration we look to Chicago Naturals Summer Meetup, one of the largest natural hair meetup groups in the country. Hosted by Rachel O and sponsored by CURLS, Creme of Nature, Uncle Funky's Daughter, ORS Curls Unleashed and Mielle Organics, naturalistas gathered to debunk hair myths and celebrate their curls.
