Thursday 7th June I attended my first Natural Hair meet up event with my friend Jennifer who is more of a pro in this ‘natural hair’ game than I am.
From watching videos and pictures of various US meet-ups from fellow bloggers like Mae (Natural Chica) and KnottiNikki I always wished I could be part of such an event and community
Therefore when I heard of the #LavishUK event of course I was game to attend.
Oh the excitement 😀
Despite being a Naturalista for 1 year and a few months I have not
really attended any meet-ups #judgemelater
#LavishUK was a product launch event from
Curls Unleashed Organic Root Stimulator sponsored by Gidore Hair
Hosted at the lovely Grace Bar
Upon entering the venue we were greeted by the lovely Curls Unleashed staff
Walking around the venue it was nice to see the nail bar
and the make up area to beautify the Naturalista attendees.
To be honest I was tempted to bag myself a few lashes and a new colour for my nails
however the heaving queue made me think twice.
Instead I decided to mingle and look who I bumped into
Nyla (Kulchibeauty), Myself and Jennifer
Good Points:
1) Goodie Bag full of Curls Unleashed hair gels and conditioner samples
2) Entertainment from the soulful Omar
3) The lovely Natural community support
4) Mingling with fellow Naturalistas and getting inspiration
Down Points:
1) Lack of air-con in the venue (felt like my hair was going to frizz up)
2) I think the venue could have been bigger for the sake of easier navigation
Overall it was a good experience as a first Natural Hair event to attend,
this is just the beginning of many to come 😉
