About iKhowa_Events

iKhowa Events is an Eastern Cape based business with its main focus is on building the natural hair community in the Eastern Cape through events that Educate, Empower and Entertain. We are passionate about natural hair and events planning therefore combined these two things to fill a gap we saw in the Eastern Cape market where very few Natural Hair events are happening.

iKhowa Events hosted its first ‘My Natural Hair Journey’ event in East London in 2019 and hosting 5 more of these events in 2020 in cities such as East London, Port Elizabeth, Queenstown, Mthatha and Makanda (former Grahamstown).

Purpose of the Expo

We found that Eastern Cape is hungry for these types of events as all these events are happening in Gauteng and Western Cape provinces. The ‘My Natural Hair & Beauty Expo’ is an annual event to embrace our natural being. We will create a fun space where ladies and gentlemen will be able to learn about the different products out there, provide wholesome entertainment and embrace our natural curls and coils. We have included the Beauty aspect as we feel we should be happy with all facets of our body from our hair right down to our toes. We will be hosting a panel that will discuss their natural hair, beauty, product journeys and answering any question that come from guest.
