Mississippi Natural Hair Expo 2025

Get ready for an unforgettable day in the Sip celebrating natural hair, Black beauty, and community. This is your sign to log off and pull up. The vibes, the people, the purpose—it’s all happening live.

This year, we’re going back to basics—family reunion style. We’re focusing on what matters most: real community, authentic connection, and heartfelt celebration. No fluff, no frills—just great people, positive energy, and a whole lot of love for natural hair and Black joy.

Whether you’re all about natural hair or just love uplifting Black community—this event is for YOU.

Oh—and bring your friends (and your fans)! We’re putting our boots on the ground—yes, there will be line dancing! 💃🏾🕺🏾

📍 Located in beautiful Biloxi, our stunning venue provides the perfect setting for a day filled with natural hair celebration, Black beauty, and meaningful connections. Just a short drive from New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola, it’s an ideal spot for a weekend getaway or day trip. Come ready to connect, learn, and enjoy good company in a warm, inspiring space.

A Focused Experience

This year, we’re featuring a thoughtfully selected group of vendors to create an intimate and meaningful marketplace. Fewer booths mean more opportunites to connect deeply with each brand, discover standout products, and enjoy a boutique-style shopping experience.

💡 Empowering Experiences: Take part in engaging presentations and live demos led by industry experts sharing real talk and insider knowledge.

🛍️ Shop Black Marketplace: Support Black-owned businesses offering beauty, wellness, fashion, and more.

🧴 Men’s Care Spotlight: This year, we’re proud to welcome men’s grooming brands Bump Stopper and Dare 2 Be Bald on-site at the expo, ready to showcase their exclusive products and share expert tips designed just for men’s hair and skin care.
