Last week I got email about the fourth annual Natural Hair Week taking place across London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds between April 30thand May 7th. Since starting my hair journey just over six months ago, African hair and natural hair (to be more precise) is something I’ve become really interested and passionate about. I think it’s incredibly important, especially for young Black women and girls, to learn about their hair and to embrace it regardless of how they prefer to wear their hair, and regardless of whether they go natural or relaxed. Prior to receiving this email, I had no idea Natural Hair Week was a thing, but I am over the moon that it is and that this is its fourth year in action.
This year NHW is full of amazing performances, workshops, demonstrations, discussions and so much more. The event is hosted by Claire Clottey and Jimmy Swagger, and brings the best in the industry of natural hair and skincare. Tickets start at £14.99 but children under 12 go free. Tickets can be bought at: naturalhairweek.com. For more information on the event make sure you check out their website. This is definitely an event I want to experience and if finances permit I’d love to go and check it out for myself. Are you going? If so, let me know!
