ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「At Curlfest, an outdoor event in New York City celebrating Black hair, local vendors awaited a sea of festivalgoers showing off their most elaborate and personal box braids, cornrows, Afros and twists. Curlfest returned to Randall’s Island after a three-year hiatus, featuring dozens of Black-owned small businesses as well as performers and guest speakers championing the beauty of natural hair. “‘Bounce Back’ is the theme because it really speaks to the resilience of us as a people,” said Melody Henderson, the event’s creative director. She founded Curlfest with Gia Lowe, Simone Mair, Tracey Coleman and Charisse Higgins. Together the five women make up Curly Girl Collective, a friend group that began in 2010 as an email thread to offer guidance and support for caring for natural Black hair. Curls and braids were adorned with accessories — clips, gold wires, rings and beads — with the crowd showcasing a variety of looks. But beyond vanity, the many styles signified a communal space where all could see and be seen. At Curlfest, all hair is welcome. See more looks from Curlfest at the link in bio.
