Hair – worn long, worn short, worn wavy or in braids – is the subject of The Head Wrap Diaries, a funny and uplifting dance theatre performance. It’s an interactive show set in a hair salon
about people, and their ongoing relationship with hair.

Mixing dance, theatre and storytelling with a good dose of humour, the performance venue is transformed into a Be-U- Tiful hair salon, with wig stands and chairs set around a performing space.
