The UPState’s Premier hair festival for natural & Textured Hair

A celebration of curls, culture, and community!

Update: The Next Hair Fest

A Note From Porscha Danielle & Knotty-N-Natural!

Looking toward the future

After much thought, we've made the decision to cancel the Knotty-N-Natural Hair Festival for 2026. It wasn't easy but it was intentional.

Our community deserves an experience that's been built with care, intention, and the full attention it deserves. We're using this year to do exactly that, so that when we come back, it's everything you've come to expect and more.

We're not going quiet in the meantime. Keep an eye out for surprises, stay connected on social, and suppor the brand through the merch store.

Thank you for your continued love and support. We'll see you soon.

an unforgettable event

This is the only event of its kind in the Upstate focused exclusively on curly and textured hair care and styling, fashion, and made purposefully for minority entrepreneurs. Get your brand in front of the community by becoming a vendor at the next Knotty-N-Natural Hair Fest.

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.
