For the Culture
Texture Experts is a gathering spot for all professionals in the natural hair industry or textured hair industry (whichever name you prefer.) This is a safe space for braiders, locticans, curly hair experts, and all allies who advocate for us. For years we have been marginalized, ignored and our craft disrespected in the beauty world because of the cultural practice of our art being passed down. Because there is no school in which we all went to learn this the thought is that anyone can do it and thus, is it even a real profession? Because of the work, persistence, and steadfastness of those who came before us and believed in celebrating curly hair in its curly state, we are a budding industry on the cusp of a boom. We gather here to converse, to learn, and above all to show our strength in numbers.
