2007 - The Afro Hair and Beauty Show 25th Birthday!

1982 was a classic year it brought us the Jheri Curl, Rubiks Cube, Fame and Legwarmers, Ghandi, Thriller and Planet Rock. Trends can come and go, but after 25 years at the front of the scene, the Afro Hair Show is still going strong. In May 2007, the Afro Hair & Beauty Show was reborn as Afro Hair & Beauty Live with more demonstrations, more makeovers and more ways to get involved than ever before. The event launched in 1982 and has grown to the largest paid for Black event in Europe.

Afro Hair & Beauty Live took place on Sunday 27th and Monday 28th May at the prestigious Alexandra Palace, London.

The event brought together the world’s leading hair and beauty brands with top hair stylists and beauticians for a dazzling weekend of top tips and hands-on fun.

Demonstrations
Renowned experts and award winning hair and make up artists were showing off the latest techniques in different demonstration areas. Each expert was offering advice on skincare, make-up, weaves and extensions, braiding, natural styles or relaxers. The only problem is there were not many demonstartions on plating and braiding but numerous demonstarations on weaves and fake hair!

Stage Shows
The amazing Avant Garde show, sponsored by Sensationnel, was back this year, with hair designers producing elaborate hair masterpieces to win the coveted title. Colour, shape and astounding workmanship are a must!
With special guest PA’s, Model competitions and the fast-paced Battle of the Barbers… clippers at the ready!

Exhibitions
