Mondays Around the Web – Naturally Happy Hair
While at the World Natural Hair, Health, and Beauty Show in Atlanta this past weekend, I met so many wonderful curlfriends. Read all about my wonderful experiences (and product hauls) from the show here.
A the show, I was able to meet one of the contributors to the blog, who passed along her information to me. I checked out the blog, and lo and behold, they had a post about natural hair and fashion! This week’s Mondays Around the Web post comes from the blog, Naturally Happy Hair.
In this post, you’ll find lots of examples of natural hair on the runway. Check it out here.
