Why is it important?

Over the last decade, South Carolina has seen a growing surge of natural hair care professionals and entrepreneurs enter the market creating unique new products and opening the door for stylists to compete with larger markets in the Southeast. The Knotty-N-Natural Hair Festival is the perfect place for people looking to try new natural and textured hair brands, support local product vendors, meet new stylists and get educated on how to have the healthy hair they’ve always dreamed of.
