The heart shaped afro is burning up in the natural hair community! Walking around Philly the other day we saw a trio of naturalistas working this new trend and the art-deco, geo-shape silhouette made our afro-loving heart melt. Take note that this style can be created with technical layering or a very simple part. You can take it a step further with color and hair jewelry.
Fab alert!
