The Dubai Curl Festival takes place on Saturday, October 10 in Dubai Internet City. The event caters specifically to individuals with curly, coily, and kinky hair. Oh My Knots, a Dubai-based community platform, organized this unique family festival. The organizers call it the first family curly hair festival in the GCC. The venue is Cornelia's Craft Kitchen, and doors open from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Visitors can drop in at any time without following a strict schedule. Curly hair behaves differently in the Gulf due to hard water and humidity. Most online curl care advice does not account for these specific regional climates. Oh My Knots founder Gertrud Mackenzie created the event to address this gap. The festival provides locally tested advice and product recommendations for the UAE.

Creating A Space Dedicated To Curl Care Education

The day combines educational talks with practical, hands-on styling experiences for attendees. Visitors can explore brand stands, watch live demonstrations, and sample new hair products. Confirmed partners for the upcoming event include brands like LUSH and lululemon. The festival also features a dedicated Kids' Curl Corner for younger guests. This section aims to build confidence in children regarding their natural curls.

Every ticket holder receives a goodie bag from the participating lifestyle brands. Early bird adult tickets start at Dh100, while general admission costs Dh150. Family passes are also available for those attending with children. The event focuses on celebrating curls rather than treating them as a problem. Attendees can connect with experts and find simpler routines tailored for this climate.

The festival highlights the growing demand for specialized personal care events locally. Consumers increasingly seek products and advice suited to their specific environmental needs. The event provides a supportive community for individuals embracing their natural hair texture.
