PURPOSE:
The purpose of the MetroSalonPro Natural Hair Fest & Educational Summit Chicago is: to expose the root culprits of hair loss, hair damage, balding, scalp irritation and various forms of alopecia that plague our communities (primarily adult women, teens and young girls) resulting from excessive chemical treatment, overuse of heated accoutrements, lack of proper sanitation, bad habits, poor nutrition, miseducation, incorrect hair care, improper techniques and heredity/genetics; to create an aesthetic atmosphere where leadership, instructors, professionals, freelancers, students, businesses and consumers (members of the general public) can convene, network, interact, dialogue, showcase, give experiences, and free pinned up emotions under the auspicies of natural beauty and barber culture across the urban landscape of metropolitan Chicago; to influence the growth, maintenance and adaptation of a change in lifestyle that prompts naturally healthy hair and unique natural hairstyles in a manner that uplifts our youth, motivates the people, encourages unity within families at large and reinforces the self esteem, self image, self love and advancement of our "natural" brothers and sisters on a local, national and global level, and to demonstrate and quantify the advancement of the worldwide dynamic, the urban Natural Hair Movement, by soliciting community participation and preservation of what has the potential to be one of the largest gathering of Naturals, Naturalistas, Culturals, Transitionals and Natural Hair Care Industry Professionals in the Chicagoland area. - Mark David Carter, Executive Producer for MetroSalonPro
