Saturday I was able to hang out with some fellow naturals who
are also BLMGirls. Let me tip my hat to my blogger pals, Schea at Curves & Confidence for the invite & fantastic photos (you can check out her post here), Roodlyn at Anointed Heels for tagging
along with me and Ashley of A Sassy Woman for meeting us later for lunch and a tiny bit of
shopping.
The Naturals in South Florida held a one year anniversary
celebration hosted by the lovely YouTube natural hair guru Charjay who I was
able to meet as well as Danyelle aka MsDainty1. Danyelle is a fellow Seminole and can
beat her face to perfection. There were so many beautiful women in the room
with every shape, size, styled, color and texture of natural hair. I wanted to
do a fist pump and say loudly, “I’m natural and I’m proud!”
I’m really stoked that Karrie stood up for the event. Y’all know
I’ve been in a love/hate relationship with this thick head of head that seems
to never curl/coil and shrinks to a size zero. I kid not! Early in the week I
decided to try two new products: Curls Unleased curl defining cream and the
moisturizing conditioner. My hair hated the conditioner and has done well with
the curl defining cream. I went back to my tested, tried and true Elasta QP
mango & olive oil butter. My hair likes thick creamy styling products.
Once concern is buildup but I’ve managed to find the right combo
over the last few days. So far, so good. I wet my hair at night to set it for
bed so I only have to moisten it in the am. For the look featured here. I used
the LOC method (liquid, oil and cream) after washing, added my oil mix to the
wet hair, added the Elasta QP butter, then the curl defining cream and rubbed
it down the sections of my strands until my curls were poppin’ as we say in the
natural hair world. I sealed with Softee castor oil grease and viola I was
ready for the event.
I received so many compliments that after a successful twistout
on Monday, I rewet my hair and returned it back to this style although my
twistout photographed well. Stay tuned to see it tomorrow.

Your hair looked fabulous and I'm low key jealous of your meetup and that you got to hang with the FL BLM girls I like and Danti.
How fun! I wish there were more bloggers in my area for me to hook up with. You are killing me with those pants-can't believe they came from Kmart!
