We've been completely enamored with Glenford Nunez's ongoing "Coiffure Project" -- portraits of women modeling their glorious crowns of natural hair.

Who's Your Hair Icon? A re-post from Black Voices News ...... What do Josephine Baker, Pam Grier, Halle Berry, Diana Ross and Solange Knowles have in common? Yes, they are all talented, beautiful and inspiring women-- to say the least. But they are also a few of our favorite hair icons. From Josephine's perfectly primped pixie to Solange's awesome Afro, there is a list of lovely ladies who have definitely inspired how we manipulate our manes. In celebration of that undeniable influence, a bevy of beauties-- including model Jessica White, singer Bridget Kelly, image activist Michaela Angela Davis, the Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Donna Karan, Felita Harris, and several NYC tastemakers -- gathered at the end of New York Fashion Week to toast to those hair icons and the beauty of black women.    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/17/black-hair-icons-celebrated_n_3939907.html#es_share_ended
