Famous hair stylist Isis Brantley as Guest Speaker at Black History Month Fashion Show

Master natural hair stylist and recent recipient of the “Nzuri 100 Carat Diamond Award”, Isis Brantley, will be guest speaker at the Black History Month Benefits fashion show on February 23, 2014 in Houston Texas.  Hosted by EZCall EZTalk, the event will be held at the Wyndham Hotel, Houston.  Brantley has been a practitioner of natural hair care in the African-American community for over 30 years.

A Dallas native and mother of five, Isis Brantley is known nationwide as Naturally Isis, the guru of Natural Hair Care. Stylist to many clients across the country including celebrity neo soul artist Erykah Badu, Isis is deeply involved in building and expanding her business, with the promotion of her hair care products appropriately donned, Sisters of Isis, and the upcoming release of three books: Hair Once Sacred, Now Desecrated, Braid Raid, and Olayinka’s Magic Beaded Comb.
