DAYTON, OH—Natural Hair Fest Dayton and AFROINTL Fashion Show will be held during on Sunday, November 17 at the Dayton Convention Center Downtown located 22 East 5th Street in the Meeting Rooms 305/306 in Downtown, Dayton, OH 45402 between the hours of 10am and 6pm (DAYTIME EVENT) and 6pm-12am (EVENING EVENT).—-United States. Natural Hair Fest is a convention and celebration of natural beauty and proper regimens for hair and scalp maintenance through live product demonstrations, moderated discussions, and special guest appearances. Natural Hair Fest Dayton provides a supportive platform for those who embrace hair in its natural state, and also promotes the use of haircare and skincare regimens that contain natural, organic and vegan ingredients. Natural Hair Fest is a road show that allows emerging brands to engage new customers by way of face-to-face, in-person and online connections in 24 distinct markets across the United States.


Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair. This is the impetus behind the CROWN Act, the brainchild of State Senator Holly J. Mitchell of California. The CROWN Act became the first legislation passed at the state level in the United States that prohibits discrimination based on hairstyle and hair texture. This legislature protects the rights of Americans to embrace their natural hair, allowing all to wear styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace and public schools. The state of Ohio has not yet adopted the CROWN Act; however, the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington have all signed the CROWN Act into law.


Having beautiful natural hair means having a healthy scalp, too. Since 2015, Natural Hair Fest has curated experiences centered around the natural hair community. The event boasts a full day of programming on the main stage to educate consumers and members of the beauty industry through presentations explaining the history of natural haircare, the nuances of haircare products, and the associated risks involved in chemical services.


“We promote self-love, self-care, health, wellness, and healthy hair and scalp irrespective of type or texture. We want everyone to embrace their natural hair unconditionally,” says Mark David Carter, founder of Natural Hair Fest and show producer/director of the 2024 Tour de Naturelle’. As we make our rounds across the country, we're excited to have the opportunity to celebrate with the general public, industry experts and some of the most amazing products in Dayton, OH. You're invited to join us as we create a wonderful, immersive experience right in the heart of downtown Dayton.”

And when we get there, Keith McKay, a licensed Barbering Instructor and Master Barber, will share his vast knowledge of the field and techniques, and Tara Gregory, licensed Trichology Coach will be presenting product knowledge based on her ayurvedic skincare line and providing solutions to restore and maintain their edges,” says Mark David.
