THIS YEAR, WE'RE DOING CURLFRIENDS DIFFERENT.
Curlfriends Expo isn’t happening in just one day.
We’re spending September together.
We’re starting at the roots. We’re having the conversations. We’re eating, dancing and having some fun. And before the month ends, we’re slowing down and pouring something back into ourselves.
RESET. CONNECT. CELEBRATE. RESTORE.
Because sometimes a reset needs a little bit of everything.
YOUR SEPTEMBER LINEUP
SO... WHAT ARE WE DOING SATURDAY SEPT 05?
WE START AT THE ROOT.
ROOTED KICKOFF
Natural Hair • Education • Beauty • Shopping • Community
We’re kicking September off with the heart of Curlfriends: our natural hair community. Come learn, discover brands, shop, connect and celebrate the beauty of our roots.
THEN, WE TALK.
SEPTEMBER 12
CONVERSATIONS
Live Conversations • Culture • Creativity • Connection
We’re creating room for the conversations women are already having — about life, culture, identity, relationships, growth and everything in between.
THEN... WE HAVE SOME FUN.
SEPTEMBER 19
BITES & BEATS
Food • Music • Games • Karaoke • Day Party Vibes
We’ve learned. We’ve talked. Now we’re outside.
Eat something good. Grab a drink. Sing the song. Dance. Laugh. Meet somebody new.
Because having fun is part of the reset too.
AND FINALLY, WE RESTORE.
SEPTEMBER 26
SERENITY RESTORED
Movement • Wellness • Self-Care • Community
We’re closing September by slowing things down and pouring something back into ourselves.
Move. Breathe. Reset. Reconnect.
THE EXPERIENCE
What to expect
Instead of one big day, The Reset Series gives you five distinct experiences — each with its own energy, its own audience, and its own moment.
THIS ISN'T OUR FIRST SEPTEMBER TOGETHER.
11 years of showing up for this community.
CURLFRIENDS HAS BEEN CREATING SPACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY FOR OVER A DECADE.
What started with curls has grown into something much bigger — a community built around discovery, connection, culture, beauty and showing up for one another.
This year, we’re giving that community more ways to connect.
Welcome to The Reset Series.
Then stats if you have good verified ones.
