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 New York was second to sign the CROWN Act into law; furthermore, the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, 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 Mark David Carter, founder of oncept Natural Hair Fest -aka- show producer/director. As we make our rounds across the country, we're excited to have the opportunity to "come together as one" with industry experts and some of the most amazing products in Brooklyn, New York.
