Almost daily on Twitter I see men and women with afro hair asking for advice on where to find afro hair specialists in London and beyond. It's a fragmented market where lots of suppliers don't have an online presence, and @hervedespois platform is solving this problem. @hervedespois please tell us more about Afrocks -- why you started it and what your goals are for 2018? Thanks

@abadesi Thanks for the feature! Afrocks is an on-demand marketplace connecting mobile afro hair stylists with clients in London. The idea came up to me a few years ago, I had locs at the time but couldn't stand spending half a day in a salon, where my appointment would never be on time and the customer service average. I also wanted to normalise afro hair across the board and offer a realiable alternative to ladies who didn't want to relax their hair. For 2018 our objective is to increase the number of stylists on the platform and cover London + 2 or 3 UK cities. We are also working on a mobile app to improve the user experience. Last but not least we are looking into fundraising opportunities to help us grow.

You are definitely moving in the right direction. Research shows over and over again that globally the black hair industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. I built something similar but for the Nigerian market, called Naijahairland. It only live for a year. But it was fun.
