KILLEEN, Texas — Attendees from across Texas gathered in the Killeen Civic and Conference Center for the eighth annual Armed Forces Natural Hair and Health Expo Sunday.
The event featured workshops, demonstrations, music and a natural hair and fashion show for children and adults.
This year's special guest was Aevin Dugas, the Guinness World Record holder for the world's largest female Afro.
The event focused giving women with natural hair the courage to embrace who they really are.
"We want to teach women of color to love their natural hair the way it naturally comes out of their head," organizer Luvina Sabree said. "We want to empower them and show them they are beautiful just the way they are."
