Crowned in Confidence: The Mississippi Natural Hair Expo Returns to Celebrate Black Beauty & Empowerment

In Mississippi, natural hair isn’t just a trend—it’s a cultural legacy, a personal journey, and a powerful form of self-expression. That’s why the Mississippi Natural Hair Expo has become more than just an event—it’s a movement.

Founded to honor and uplift Black women (and men) who embrace their curls, coils, kinks, and protective styles, this expo has grown into the state’s largest gathering dedicated solely to natural hair care, wellness, and empowerment.

What Makes the Mississippi Natural Hair Expo Special?

This annual celebration serves as a safe space where the beauty of natural hair is affirmed and celebrated. Attendees can expect:

• Product Education & Samples: Explore top Black-owned brands and discover new favorites.

• Live Demos: From twist-outs to protective styles, watch professional stylists showcase real-time techniques for all textures.

• Wellness & Beauty Panels: Dive into discussions that go beyond hair—from skincare to mental health to holistic healing.

• Shopping Experience: Support dozens of local and national vendors offering handmade products, natural hair care, art, apparel, and more.

• Empowerment & Sisterhood: Whether it’s your first big chop or your tenth twist-out, you’ll find love, affirmation, and connection at every turn.

Why Natural Hair Matters in Mississippi

Mississippi holds a deep cultural history—one that includes beauty salons as safe havens, hair grease on stovetops, and grandmas teaching us how to press and part. The Natural Hair Expo recognizes that our relationship with hair is emotional, political, and powerful.

By creating space for celebration and learning, the Expo reminds us that our crowns are worthy of care and reverence—just the way they grow.

New in 2025: Community + Culture = Sunset Social 🌅

This year, the celebration doesn’t stop at the expo doors. Thanks to a powerful new partnership between Mississippi Black Pages, Black With No Chaser, and Mississippi MOVE, Inc., we’re taking the energy of the Expo into the evening with the Sunset Social—an exclusive post-expo event filled with vibes, voter engagement, and visionary networking. More on that here.
