The World Natural Hair show was GREATNESS!!! Me and Neelah (my roll-dog for the day) drove the distance to the venue, parked without much trouble, stood in line for a pretty short time, walked in and were instantly overwhelmed!! There were So many Booths, products, negros forcing flyers on you, youtube and blog celebrities....SMH. You really should check it out for yourself next year! Whether you're natural, thinking about transitioning, or relaxed and curious you Should! Its a very humbling and eye-opening experience!! I tried to get my mom to come with me (multiple times) but she flat out refused. lol. The natural hair 'movement' is just silly to her. [Even though I've been helping her transition for a year!!] Gotta love that lady anyway. :)
The highlight would be meeting Black Onyx. She is SO SWEET guys! Very knowledgeable about her products and very concerned about Not supporting PJism, but leading customers towards what their hair Needs based on their stated concerns. She took the time to talk to everyone that came to her Very organized booth complete with her full line of hair care products, jewelry, cutely packaged samples...the works! She had a team with matching company shirts and the girls had the CUTEST hair bows!!! I Will be buying one. OMG. I took a pic. :) I'm going to make a vid about the FEW things I got at show also. So stay tuned!
Later!
