The 5th Annual Textured Hair Expo, now known as the Textured Expo, is returning to Bridge Street Middle School on Wednesday evening, Feb 25th, from 5:30-6:30.
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 attendees. Care specialists include Luxury Lifestyles Grooming Lounge, Stradwick’s Fade Cave, Just Me & More, Wicked Beauty, AB Artistry, and the Elite Academy of Hair Design.
Aside from hair education, community resource group Why Don’t You Stay Awhile, and pop-up shops including Vondel Bell’s Visionary Minded, Two Times Clothing and Collectibles, Alpha Clothing, and Green’s Photography, LLC. will be available. 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.
