On Saturday hundreds of naturals traveled to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to revel in their curls, share positive vibes and soak up the sun at the second annual CurlFest, put on by the Curly Girl Collective. The celebration was attended by top natural hair bloggers and vloggers, including Naptural85 and Jenell of KinkyCurlyCoilyMe, and the hair porn was intense… Check out 26 photos of the epic natural hair at Curlfest.


























Yaaass! Did any of you attend CurlFest? What was the experience like?
I will never stop to be amazed at how beautiful and charismatic are black women no matter what is their skin tone, hair texture, hair lenght, clothes, make up etc.
OMG!! What a beautiful sight to behold <3 <3 <3
All I gotta say is they drivin’ me Cray-Zay.
OMG. Amazing!
Yes to all of this!!!! Natural Hair Slays!!!!!
The variety of Afro textured hair is giving me life. A lot of drop dead gorgeous sisters. Black women are second to none.
I can’t go to this…I am not black enough…sadly I permed my hair.
Don’t do that to yourself. The idea behind this is to encourage people to embrace their true selves. In fact, I think it’s for you. …. and hey, you are more black enough. Hugs
Niiiiiiice!..I love Brooklyn.
This was a rockstar event. Thanks for the shout out Leila. Muah!
YEASSSA!
babe city! wow
We are some fierce and fine people
::slain in the spirit:: LOVE OVERLOAD!!
I love this festival. I have never been because I don’t think I would be welcome… I am not african american. I am Italian. but my hair is quite the same as any mixed woman out there! lol. my entire life people tried getting me to straighten my hair! It took me a long time not to be ashamed of my hair. But I truly love my natural curls! Frizzy or defined, they are part of what makes me me (so does the weather, lol). I love the message this festival displays to us women, no matter what your ethnicity.… Read more »
What you said is like a black woman saying “I am scared to go outside without wearing a silky hair weave because I might not be accepted” This festival promotes inclusion not exclusion
Cristina you would be more than welcomed. Curly hair comes from all ethnicities
They KILT it!!!
Beautiful Pic! Im going to have to make it to curlfest in 2016
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Yes let’s embrace and celebrate the natural beauty of black women.
Absolutely beautiful naturally! I love it!
Inspiring! Black hair is so unique. We’re the only race with hair that doesn’t fall down – our hair is full of life and body! Why would we to want to change that?
That is so true, it is gorgeous
Is gorgeous see all these sisters, they keep their natural textures!
I love it they are all beautiful!!
Gots to be there next year. Wow.
From these pictures, I can say the hair porn was NOT just intense, the hair orgasm was out of this world!
I wish I could go there…but I’m not even african american *cries*
Beautiful pics tho.
I am so glad I found this post. I was just thinking about cutting my hair. This is so inspiring.
This is beauty too.
These pics just made me happy 🙂
Ahhhhhhhnnn! ! ???? my wife is here….lol I’m definitely going Next Year
MMmmm, beautiful sisters all that may be missing is beautiful character, the inward beauty, which to me is most important. The beautiful personality of the woman-self respect and personal dignity. To me is like admiring all the beautiful animals in the wild or in a zoo, but which I would want to take home, maybe none until I am sure there is a personality match with the physical beauty.
The fact that you watch Black women like “animals in the wild or the zoo” wondering which one you can “take home” makes me suspect that you might be the one with the missing character.
nice!
We need to see this. The beauty and variety of our natural hair is a fact that cannot be emphasized enough.
These photos are giving me life!!! #8monthsNatural #StillWinning
I can drool, trip over my shoes, and bump into a wall if I stare at these pictures too long. I really like how they carry themselves, wear fashion statement earrings, shirts and just Jewerly emphasizing their heritage. I like what they wear, they are not showing too much, they are comfortable. I like seeing big hair and it being up and out. It tells me they are confident and have inner peace. The photo I stared at the longest was the woman in the white dress praying. Natural hair is cool and aesthetic. It’s nice that it’s being celebrated… Read more »
Had I known about this event, I would have certainly attended to show my support and enthusiasm. This looks phenomenal. When is the next one so I can mark my calendar?
Great post on naturals –>: Going Natural For Life Or Fashion? Why We Love Black Women Who Love Their Hair
I’m in afro heaven!!! I need to go to these events.
I was there, and it was an amazing energy and experience. I cannot wait until Curlfest 2016. You had to rsvp at curlygirlcollective.com by a certain date in order to receive a swag bag full of awesome natural hair care products. I’m still on a curlfest high. That’s how dope it was.
I was there and loved it. Two of my photos got posted above (@afronautic). It was a lot of fun, live music, vendors, discussion, and tons of natural beauty. Looking forward to next year…
Sweet Lord this post should have come with a warning! Beautiful chocolate ladies with even more goregous hair! Makes me wanna whip out my afro. #everybodyisdoingit
these are Jacob’s daughter, this is the hair you see in Revelation 1 v 14-15.
l’Afrique est la beauté du monde
