The
Bronner Bros. International Hair Show is legendary for its over-the-top hair theatrics.
The hair extraordinaire show draws stylists from around the world, who produce extraordinary hairstyles and compete in hair contests. The contests are more than just about money, though, but hair cred. The competitions are known for on-stage hair antics -- stylists clipping, cutting and managing intricate hair styles while suspended on ladders, swimming in fish tanks and in all kinds of back bending awkward, gymnast -- all captured in front of a live audience.
Celebrating 65 years, kicked off this weekend in Atlanta.
Talk about hair skills!
If it's unusual, daring and creative, chances are, you'll see it at Bronner Bros.
Wigs and weaves usually reign; the focus usually isn't on natural hair, but the Bronner Bros. has reached cult status. Stylists flock to the show, held twice a year, and it's often a good barometer of the coifs that Black hair stylists around the country create.
I've never been, but I want to attend, just to say I've seen it live and in person; I don't think pictures or even reality shows do the show justice. If you're looking for tame, you won't find it at Bronner Bros. It features plenty of eccentric runway hair styles.
Have you ever been to Bronner Bros.? What did you think of the show?
