The 4th Annual Textured Hair Expo, now known as the Textured Expo, is returning to Bridge Street Middle School on Thursday evening, Feb 26th, from 5-6:30.
This year’s Textured Expo will feature various local hair artists and barbers who have volunteered their time to demonstrate to spectators how to properly style, care for, and maintain textured hair. In these teaching sessions, stylists will share their favorite products and tools while focusing on educating attendants. Care specialists include Luxury Lifestyles Grooming Lounge, Stradwick’s Fade Cave, Just Me & More, Bare Beauty, AB Artistry, Klawz by Kyra, Elite Academy of Hair Design, Two Times Clothing and Collectibles, and Outdated Threads.
Aside from hair education, pop-up shops will be available from the clothing stores, and Elite Academy and Hair Design is offering information for any student potentially interested in a career in cosmetology. Light refreshments will be offered for all attendees and sample products will be for sale.
Black Student Unions from West Liberty University and Bethany College have been invited to attend, and the Black Student Union from Wheeling Park High School will be present in addition to Arts students.
The event is free and open to the community. Any person appreciating local art, music, and business, or is in need of help or recommendations to style, maintain, or care for textured hair would find this event memorable.
