The many styles, colors and textures of African American hair were on full display at the 2007 Bronner Brothers Hair Show. The Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta was transformed into a cavalcade of coifs, locks, and assorted plumage as hairstylists, models, and hair clients networked, participated in various styling activities, and sampled products from various vendors.

"I've been modeling for 15 years and I'm modeling today," said attendee Clark Jones. "It's really an opportunity for blacks to increase their business and keep us promoting [our] careers."

This year was an even bigger event than in years past, with celebrities like actor/comedian Chris Rock walking through the expo, meeting and greeting fans. Continuing the 60-year legacy of the Bronner Brothers brand, the Hair Show has become an annual event for stylists and their clients across the country. Doris Carr, founder of DC Artistry, made the trek from Richmond, Va., to enjoy the show and meet people. "I like the exposure," says Carr. "Coming to the show is a great way to advertise and learn something new." -todd williams
