I had the pleasure of representing NaturallyCurly at Lucky FABB West, Lucky Magazine’s annual event for fashion and beauty bloggers. While many of the bloggers there were busy snapping photos of fellow attendees’ wedges, purses, nail art and dresses, I was scoping the scene for curls, waves and coils! Here’s a round up of the notable tresses I saw at Lucky FABB!
