Other then Afro hair and beauty show which I used to go to back in the day, I never really go to hair expos.
But on Saturday 7th May I went to the Natural Hair Event over at Earls Court. It actually runs for a week all over the UK but Saturday's was in London.
So I went with my new curlfriend Simone (aka hairissimba on Instagram) she is quite well known on the natural hair circuit due to her gorgeous curls.... We met so randomly and just clicked so she invited me to go with her a few days later.
So it's basically a tonne of natural hair exhibitors trying to promote their products. So many well known brands were there such as Cantu, Design Essentials, Mixed Chicks and so on.
Now it was interesting going round to all the different stands and there were even talks and workshops giving tips/tricks and advice on how to look after your hair.
I was there for a couple of hours but the event actually ran all day.
I bought these a curly girl earrings which I thought were soooo cute.
To be honest most of the stalls there, were for you to buy stuff.... Like the freebies weren't rolling out (and who don't love a freebie) which I thought was quite bad as there were a lot of brands that I hadn't heard of.... So a few samples would of been good to take home and try.
They did give you a bag on entry that contained a few sachets... But the sachets never really have enough product in it.... So that was a slight disappointment :(
All in all it was a nice day out.... It's so weird how the natural hair community has got so big now.... From the big chop... to The Curly Girl method.
I have always been natural and never had a relaxer but me and the hot comb were the best of friends when I was in school/ college.....Now I haven't straightened my hair in like over 5 years or something.... I don't even use the hair dryer unless I have to..... No heat please!!!!
Anyway...embrace your hair whatever style you choose.... rock that weave/wig/extensions.... whatever....., but one thing I will say is that......Curly girls rock!
