Event summary

Highlights

UAE's first family-friendly curly hair festival
Live styling demonstrations and expert education sessions
Dedicated Kids' Curl Corner
Product sampling and brand stands

The Dubai Curl Festival brings together the curly-haired community in Dubai and the wider GCC to address specific hair care needs in the region. The one-day event offers a variety of experiences, including brand stands from curly hair care companies, opportunities for product sampling, and interactive wellness sessions. Attendees can benefit from live demonstrations, styling talks, and expert education sessions designed to simplify routines and provide practical, locally tested advice. This initiative by Oh My Knots focuses on guidance that reflects the hair experiences of those living in the Gulf, rather than general online advice.

A key highlight is the Kids' Curl Corner, which focuses on positively representing all curly hair types and building confidence in younger attendees. The festival encourages visitors to drop in at their convenience throughout the day, as there is no fixed schedule. Every ticket holder receives a goodie bag from participating brands. Confirmed partners include LUSH and lululemon. Practical amenities for guests include a welcome drink upon arrival and two hours of complimentary parking with restaurant validation at Cornelia's Craft Kitchen.
