Fro Fashion Week Spring 2012

As the official Media Sponsor for ‘Fro Fashion Week Spring 2012, Thirsty Roots had a great time once again enjoying some of the workshops, the Penthouse Party, and the fabulous ‘Fro Fashion Show. The two day conference at Hotel Melia in Atlanta, GA, was educational and entertaining showcasing natural hair. Attendees were able to be up close and personal with bloggers, beauty brands, and celebrities.

A new natural hair product brand, Beautiful Textures, hosted a beauty lounge with natural hair blogger Maeling Tapp of NaturalChica.com and celebrity hair stylist Felicia Leatherwood of LovingYourHairWithNaturalCare.com, while giving away products, sharing hair styling tips and demonstrations.
