Summer is upon us, which means it’s time to go into the crevices of your closet corner and lay out your sultriest, most stunning seasonal look.

Whether you’re rocking a juicy wash-and-go, the sleekest high bun, or some colorful box braids, stay cool this summer.

And with all of the amazing festivals, concerts, and meetups happening between June and August, you will want to stunt harder than ever. Here are a few of the ones I am personally looking forward to attending this summer ’17.

Curlfest

  • July 15 in Brooklyn, NY

Curlfest 2016 year it was lit, here’s my proof in pictures proof. A melanated lady boss squad called The Curly Girl Collective are hoping to outdo another amazing day out in the park in the mecca of culture and diversity, New York and trust me, you’ll get all the ‘fro goals to last you a whole year. Visit the Curly Girl Collective site for more details about Curlfest 2017.

Essence Festival

  • June 29-July 2 in New Orleans, LA

As if going to see phenomenal musical icons perform live wasn’t a big enough reason to spring for a weekend getaway to the N.O., consider a rare chance to meet some of your favorite curly hair bloggers under one roof. Additionally, this festival will be allow you to purchase the best hair goodies for discounted prices. Visit the Essence site to see the artist and brand lineup.

Afropunk Fest

  • August 26-27 in Brooklyn, NY

Last year all of the spectacles of human existence of the birthplace of Afropunk had me on a weirdness high for months. From Paris to Brooklyn, this year is expected to be even more magical than the last, with a new stop in South Africa with none other than the queen Solange herself performing. Get your tickets and follow the list of acts here.
