Join us for an engaging and educational workshop where we immerse ourselves in the art of African hair braiding. This hands-on session is designed for both beginners and enthusiasts who want to learn various braiding techniques while gaining an understanding of the rich history and cultural significance of African hairstyles. 
 
Participants will learn everything from African hair braiding, styling techniques, proper hair care and maintenance, and product knowledge. Participants will also learn about the cultural significance of African hair and how to care for it in a way that respects its natural beauty. 

The workshop is a pop-up stand where participants can drop by to talk to the hairdressers about hair and hair care products and get 1-2 braids in their hair. 

The program will contain elements that directly relate to Arif and his artistic influence, and some will be reminiscent of the film. Community is what binds everything together.
