Ruth Marcella embracing new style with the Braid Gang at Haircon

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the incredible team of Braid Gang at Haircon in Manchester. I had been wanting to get my hair braided before the event but the schedule didn’t allow!!! and then as I was walking through the event I met @braidgang and they asked if I wanted my hair braided !!!!! … Was so happy :)

They are amazing community and have 500,000 engaged followers who are passionate about empowering the braiding and natural hair community.

In their own words’ it’s about celebrating culture, individuality, and self-expression. After getting my hair braided by their talented artists in Manchester, I felt an instant connection to this vibrant community.

In their own words: "We champion the art and impact of braids," and they do so with such flair! The intricate designs not only enhance beauty but also tell stories of heritage and identity.

I loved my braid and the conversation and community during the services aswell as finding out about their charity Pain to Power working with young people inspiring them and empowering then through hairstyling and braiding workshops.

Definitely give them a follow on Instagram …
