Baroque-Inspired Portraits Of Black Girls Highlight Their Amazing Natural Hair So Other Girls Would Stop Hiding It
We are all full of natural beauty, we just need to bring it out. Regis and Kahran, a husband and wife team behind CreativeSoul did just that, only for young black ladies. Focusing on their hair, the duo created Afro Art, a series of gorgeous portraits that has cast a spell on everyone’s eyes.
The stunning photos feature girls in elaborate costuming and hairstyles, from the Baroque period (roughly, 1600-1750) to steampunk clothing and fierce high-fashion ensembles. “We feel that it is so important for kids of color to be able to see positive images that look like them in the media,” Kahran told My Modern Met. “Unfortunately the lack of diversity often plays into the stereotypes that they are not ‘good enough’ and often forces kids to have low self-esteem.”
“We hope that viewers will see the beauty and versatility of afro hair and we hope that girls around the world will be inspired to love their unique differences and beauty within.” They have worked on the series in various states in the US, and even though the preparation was meticulous, the duo managed to maintain a level of spontaneity.

So many times when someone talks about natural kinky hair it's the loose curls that's shown. So happy to see type 4 hair here too. And their edges are laid! Slay!

I have like 5 hairs in 3 rows so this is really amazing to me. But i guess if you have hair like that, you really start to get annoyed by it. See, i can easily wash my hair and go to bed without drying it, in the morning it is all fine. I just make a pony tail and off I go. But this kinda hair is (i guess) pretty high maintenance. But even though i would like to experience to have hair like that once. Long story short: Sorry for the bla bla bla. These pictures and all the girls are absolutely gorgeous!!!

High maintenance or not I still envy their gorgeous hair. I look like Gollum after a shower.
