What to Expect
Join Kariega-based naturalist and business owner Nasarah Williams-Witbooi as she invites fellow entrepreneurs and attendees to a day filled with fun, education, and celebration. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- A vibrant market featuring hair care products and services
- Delicious food and delightful goodies
- Lucky draws and modeling pageants showcasing the best hair
- A family-friendly atmosphere that guarantees a good time!
“Guests can expect a family fun kind of day. A market where you can purchase hair care products or just get your hair done. Have some amazing food and some awesome goodies,” says Williams-Witbooi, expressing her excitement for this landmark event.
A Celebration of Community
Williams-Witbooi believes that I Am NOT My HAIRfest could become a flagship event for Kariega. “I’m a natural girl myself and know how tough this journey can be. Many times you think you are struggling alone, and then you’ll find that there are so many other people having the same problem. I feel like this event can bridge that gap, especially with so much of what we see online not being accessible locally,” she adds.
She encourages anyone whose business focuses on natural hair to join and celebrate coils, curls, and everything in between. “We have vendors and sponsors onboard who focus on hair care products and accessories, as well as local crafters and food vendors. I’m looking to sign up more like-minded people because if we come together as a town, we can make this event something to be truly proud of,” she says.
Tickets are on sale now! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to support local businesses and celebrate the beauty of natural hair.
Live, Love, Local & See You There!
