3rd Multi-Ethnic
Hair & Scalp Care Symposium
2023 

Tuesday 6th – Wednesday 7th June 2023

The Oyster Point Hotel, 146 Bodman Place, Red Bank, NJ 07701
🔴 Live Stream & Playback Available for Virtual Attendees

Hair and scalp care needs vary enormously around the world, reflecting the huge diversity of hair types, hair habits, economic circumstances, and geographies. The Multi-Ethnic Hair and Scalp Care Symposium, first established by TRI Princeton in 2019, brings together the latest research in the hair and scalp care needs of consumers with different hair types and from different parts of the world, with a particular emphasis on textured hair.

Textured Hair Consortium Project

This year TRI will be presenting, for the first time, the key discoveries made from the Textured Hair Consortium Project. Funded by 10 industry sponsors, and TRI itself, to the tune of $1 million, this project, that ran from 2019-2021, made major discoveries in hair breakage, scalp conditions and claims testing methodologies for Walker Type 4, very curly, hair. The findings will be presented in a series of keynote presentations and posters at this symposium.
