5 Reasons to Attend Camp Coily in the DMV Next Weekend

The DMV’s in-person natural hair event, Camp Coily, hosted by N Natural Hair Studio, is coming up next weekend! We’ve been counting down to camp because it is a must-attend event. Since 2012, we’ve poured our love, passion, talent and knowledge for natural hair into our clients across the DC metro area and beyond. Now, we’re giving back to the natural hair community with two days of education, partnership and hands-on learning. 

Still haven’t saved your spot? Check out these five reasons to come through Camp Coily and grab your tickets!

Your Real-Life Time to Shine

One thing that makes Camp Coily an event you want to be a part of is the opportunity to learn twists, curls, locs and extension styles for yourself. You won’t be sitting in front of a screen, going back every 30 seconds to replay what you missed. Camp Coily is your chance to turn those doubts, failed attempts, good habits and curiosity into a hair-changing reality. 

You’ll have access to a textured hair mannequin, all the styling tools and products you’ll need, and the right teachers to guide you step-by-step on the fundamentals of cornrows, two strand and flat twists, locs grooming and braid and twist extensions. 

If you’re someone who says, “I learn better when I do it,” then, baby, come do it for you, your mama and cousins, too, and the kids and your boo. Seriously, by the time Camp Coily is over, you’ll have crisp hairstyling skills at your fingertips. 

We Goin’ Teach You What You Don’t Know

If you’re not a professional natural hairstylist or one in training, your knowledge of adequately caring for your hair may be minimal to nonexistent. That’s cool. You don’t have to take any pre-camp assessments. Camp Coily is a safe space for the beginners, the familiar,s and the oh, I knows. 

N’s Master Stylists will be front and center to teach you the keys to your favorite styles, the why behind proper techniques, product choices, and style options. When your hair is different from your bestie, not all the same rules will apply. We got you with exciting, informative and oh-so-necessary discussions exploring natural haircare that will keep your strands healthy and thriving. 

Big Sponsorship, Big Products, Issa Big Deal

We didn’t want just anybody backing Camp Coily because our clients and our community deserve top tier everything. ICYMI, Camp Coily is sponsored by Pardon My Fro, the highly-celebrated Black-owned brand that has been amplifying the aesthetic of natural hair and our culture through awe-mazing products. If your hands and hair have never experienced the luscious effects of Pardon My Fro, get ready for something special. Because, y’all, Dana Bly did not come to play! Throughout our two-day hands-on sessions, attendees will use Pardon My Fro products to execute the natural hairstyles that make us go, “yessss, hunty!”  Need we say more?

Who All Goin’ Be There? Your Tribe

Camp Coily isn’t about gatekeeping. Yes, our Master Stylists are experienced pros. They’re also some of the realest, funnest and most talented people your crown and heart will ever meet. This event shows the DMV that we can all win in the natural hair game.

While many try to duplicate or want to be us, we are who we are, and there’s no denying the power we possess. And you possess it too, whether you know it or are looking to grow it. Camp Coily is designed with our folks in mind. It’s going to be a vibe, a good time, a let your loose hair down (or keep it up) and ask questions, share crazy failures, let others in on your little-known gems, and get in some laughs while you do. Plus, it's for the 18 and over crew.

Because, Why Would You Not?

If you want to learn how to take care of your natural hair properly, Camp Coily is for you. If you’re looking to level up your styling skills, sharpen your techniques, and reduce your styling time, this event is for you. If you’re tired of wasting money on products that don’t work for your coils and want to know what will, then next weekend is for you. If you want to save costs without ruining your hair’s health in between salon visits, Camp Coily is for you. If you’re a father, brother, uncle, grandad, best friend, or partner looking to learn something new for himself, this is definitely for you. 

Treat yourself next weekend, November 16-17, to an in-person experience that will show you what you can do and shouldn’t with your natural coils, curls, and kinks. Fam, it’s time to do it big for the natural hair culture! We can’t wait to see you in the building. (And please, leave your sleeping bags at home. We goin’ home each day. LOL)
