LaChanda Gatson had a dream. The international hairstylist has worked extensively in Hollywood and wanted to depict African-American girls as princesses — complete with all the finest regalia.“People never think of a hairstylist doing something like this. They always think it’s a photographer,” she says. But the vision, all the details, and coordination of the project were her brainchild from start to finish.“Hairstyling is my artistic expression and creative outlet.”The result — we get to revel in the splendor of her African American Princesses.
