Diane C. Bailey, the CEO of EMERGE: Natural Beauty Industry Alliance is empowering the natural beauty industry through the promotion of self-love, hair love, and well-being. Dedicating over 35 years as a salon entrepreneur (president and art director of Tendrils Hair Spa), Bailey is combing through the levels of natural hair as an entity, where natural hair is not just an aesthetic but it is political, cultural, and a lifestyle.
