About This Event

 

Created by Braids Gang, The Braiders Brunch is an education-led gathering bringing together braiders, loctician’s and textured hair professionals from across the UK for a powerful day of connection, creativity, culture and industry growth.

​Whether you specialise in braids, locs, natural hair, silk presses, curls or creative textured styling - this space is for you.

 

What to expect:

  • ​Educational Panels & Industry Conversations
  • Avant-Garde Hair Showcase
  • Live Demonstrations & Immersive Brand Activations
  • Real Networking, Real Community
