Hair Street Style: Best of ESSENCE Fest

At the ESSENCE Festival, dazzling divas in fabulous 'dos showed up and showed out in the Big Easy. Ladies from coast-to-coast tossed their hair creams and pomades into their carry-on's and rocked some of the fiercest twist-outs, topknots, braids and weaves we've ever seen. Take a look!
