Your pre-Prada headband muse? Catherine Deneuve
Husband and wife photography duo Regis and Kahran Bethencourt of CreativeSoul Photography capture images of children that celebrate the beauty, culture, and heritage of afro hairstyles. Often dressed in ornate African-inspired garb, Black girl and boy models are crowned with afros, twists, and braids as symbols of strength and grace. The Bethencourts, based in Atlanta, have been working together for 10 years and began photographing children with natural hair in 2013. The “AfroArt” series began when they noticed a lack of diversity in the industry. More

".....Girls just wanna have fun !...." This is one of my favorite portraits of happy African faces. The first time I saw "Corn Rows" was during the Vietnam War. A Black soldier (female) working in the Hospital in Okinawa was reprimanded by the White commanding officer for wearing this "unauthorized hairstyle". Whether he was right or not about such "regulations", I have no idea. However, the young lady fought it saying that such a Corn Row hairstyle was part of her black history and culture. Her grievance wound up in an enlisted men's committee that was to set up to officially petition "the Brass" to make changes in stupid regulations --- stupid regulations making up about 90% of US Army Operating Procedures at that time (and probably now, as well). Although I had no idea what she was "culturally" talking about (I'm from a 120% White part of Pennsylvania) I remember taking her side on the matter.....especially as I had my own bone to pick with the Commander for threatening to slap me with an "Article 14", and a demotion and pay-cut for using an umbrella during a heavy rainstorm. (Yes, you read that right. No umbrellas while in uniform). Our commanding officer was a total asss. In any case, I still remember thinking that the "Corn Row" hairstyle was a "new" thing, and that the photo above (when I found it) totally vindicated her position that it was both historic and cultural for her as an "African-American" . Meanwhile, all of the White Officer's wives were dying their brunette hair every weird shade of un-natural silvery blond and yellow sunshine, frizzing it out in the wackiest of styles, and knocking a hole in the ozone layer by using can after can of hairspray to turn their heads into highly flammable glue-pots. But that was OK, because that was the WHITE culture, and they were WHITE women, and "civilian military wives of WHITE officers" ! After 3 years of dealing with US Military stupidity, I got the hell out, and never looked back.
