DETROIT, MI - Natural Hair Fest will take place on Sunday, November 22, 2026 at DoubleTree Detroit Fort Shelby located 525 West Lafayette Boulevard on the 2nd Floor in the Fort Brady Meeting Room, Detroit, Michigan 48226 from—-United States. Natural Hair Fest is a miniature convention and local 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 Detroit 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. 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 Michigan has signed The CROWN Act into law; furthermore, the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, 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 MarkDavid Carter, founder of Natural Hair Fest and Show Director of the 'Tour de Naturelle’. As we make our rounds across the country, we're excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with industry movers and shakers in Detroit, Michigan.
