Stylist

Gege is a textured‑hair educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The Afro Curly Hair Coach and Afro Mystique UK. She has worked on various productions at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, including King Lear and Dollhouse, and supports the theatre crew with training and knowledge of afro, curly, and mixed hair types. With more than 20 years of experience, she has seen the impact hair can have on self-confidence and internalized trauma when children grow up without understanding their hair or having tight hairstyles and pain from inpatient detangling. She champions a holistic approach to Afro and curly hair, helping people understand and celebrate textured hair as part of their beauty, culture, and identity.
