Street Style Hair: A Curly Brunch

Naturalistas filled the City Steam Brewery Cafe in Downtown Hartford, Connecticut to enjoy an interactive Q&A panel on natural hair and an educational session with licensed esthetician TaNesha Barnes. Sponsored by brownskinwomen.com, the chic brunch aimed to encourage current, considering and transitioning ladies to embrace their natural hair. Check out our favorite looks from the festivity.
