London, UK –– For so long, Black people have
experienced discrimination because of the colour of their skin and
texture of their natural hair. Although, the standard of beauty is
becoming diverse, the gap is still wide apart – progress is slow.
Afro-textured hair is still perceived as political
– Young people around the world are still being told that natural hair is unacceptable for school, many women still wear a weave or wig to work because natural afro hair is seen as “unprofessional’, andbanning men from wearing their hair in locs is not considered racial discrimination – all recent news.

However, many Black people refuse to conform to mainstream society’s
views of what is right. Phrases such as “Black Girl Magic, Black Girls
Rock and Black Boy Joy” are used both online and offline to take back
ownership and shape the narrative of Black Beauty.
After 4 years of delivering the UK’s leading natural hair event, the
team, headed up by Event Director Vinna Best will continue to celebrate
and provide the creative platform for the celebration of natural afro
hair, empowerment and wellness.
CurlyTreats Festival will take place on Saturday 5 August 2017 at the ILEC Conference Centre Earl’s Court, London.
“CurlyTreatsis continually looking for ways to enhance our visitors
experience, to provide greater value for those who love to attend
Natural Hair Week (now CurlyTreats Festival). CurlyTreats Festival is a
fantastic day and was created for our visitors who enjoy natural hair
and beauty and look to us for additional benefits such as beauty
sessions, product offers, expert recommendations and feedback on your
natural hair and wellness journey. This year’s CurlyTreats Festival
(Formerly Natural Hair Week) will take place in London only. With the
additional naturalwellness branch of our event offers more
presentations, workshops, exhibitors and networking opportunities to
make feeling great easier.” – Founder and Event Director Vinna Best.
