On Saturday, July 27, I attended CurlFest NYC for the third year in a row. As always, I had tons of fun and I was very inspired by the hair, the fashion, the music, and just the overall environment. I’ll be writing a separate post about what this festival means to me personally, but for this one I just wanted to showcase some beautiful queens and kings who showed up to slay! From their curls and braids to their bold colors and over-the-top accessories, these looks were truly magical.
Here are some of my favorite looks from the festival, shot by me and Kailena.
This look is giving me all of the vacation vibes. I love the ribbons and flowers in her hair.
