On Saturday, 15th March 2025, a groundbreaking fashion and beauty event is set to take center stage in Accra, Ghana, bringing together the artistry of hair and fashion in an unforgettable showcase. The Rooted Hair & Fashion Show is a vibrant fusion of culture, history, and creativity, uniting the rich traditions of African and American heritage.
As the first installment of a two-part international showcase—set to continue in the United States in June—this event will transform the runway into a storytelling platform where hair and fashion become symbols of identity, resilience, and evolution. Attendees will witness breathtaking hair designs, from intricate braids to bold, voluminous afros, crafted by some of the industry’s leading stylists, including Shanice Styles. The fashion segment, curated by alkeBULAN Prints, will merge traditional African aesthetics with contemporary trends, offering a fresh perspective on self-expression through clothing. This and other interesting activities lined up will take place at The Woods located at Osu in Accra, Ghana and it will start at 3pm.
This event is a must-attend for fashion enthusiasts, hairstylists, models, influencers, local business vendors, photographers, and media professionals eager to witness a creative spectacle that pushes boundaries while honoring its roots. Beyond the runway, Rooted serves as a platform for emerging creatives and entrepreneurs. With a lineup that includes hair stylists, fashion designers, local vendors, models, photographers, and digital media personalities, the event fosters collaboration and economic empowerment. A portion of the proceeds will be allocated to small businesses within the community, reinforcing the power of networking and collective success.
The visionary behind this initiative, Shanice Styles, is a multi-talented entrepreneur and hairstylist who merges her passion for beauty and culture through creative endeavors. ROOTED is presented by alkeBULANPrint and hosted by Eve of Eve's Eye Production. This is an event that fashion and culture enthusiasts cannot afford to miss. It promises to be an immersive experience where past and present collide. You can secure your place at the Rooted Hair & Fashion Show and be part of a movement that celebrates the beauty of history, diversity, and self-expression. Tickets are available here.
