First ever afro hair show in Wales which will help with the difficulty some groups face when accessing hairdressing training tailored to Black hair amid a shortage of salons across Wales. Some of our service users highlighted that people don’t realise how needed salons for black hairstyles are. We want to help develop knowledge and understanding of relevant hair types and understanding around the differences in caring for afro-textured hair while considering the use of appropriate Hair vocab.
