I decided to elongate my twist-out with a light blow dry, going against my hair challenge for the summer! HA! But I figured I had to get my ends clipped in a week, so what difference did it really make! I used Shea Moisture Curl Enchancing cream diluted with a 2:1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera Gel mix. My hair was super soft, but not as defined as can be achieved with wet hair.
So how was the meet up?
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 7. Taking in to account my teacher's prospective, a 70 is average. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't something to rave about thereafter. I am glad that I had the opportunity to be in the building with CurlyNikki, she is fabulous, but there was a missing element about the event. Perhaps it is my planning gene that seeks more purpose with events, but I was looking forward to forced interactions and some sort of agenda. Neither existed. However, there were 5 major Mizani giveaways and if you were a part of the first 350 attendee you recieved a sample of the Mizani's Supreme Oil. All in all, I had an okay time.
What would make a Natural Hair Meet-Up interesting?
Should there be an agenda or random topics?

Your hair looks great! How did it hold up in the heat? Usually my more defined twist outs swell up into a softer, bigger style when it's hot and humid out. I have yet to attend a natural hair meet up but I think it would be ideal to have some agenda/forced interaction that includes some time for just free mingling.
ReplyDeleteLoveN your hair!!! Nice photo of you with Curly Nikki.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I want to go to a meet-up in my area. I think an agenda of what will be taking place is good (just to establish some sort of order); but, I'd probably prefer free interaction over forced interaction...but, that's just me being introverted. I suppose that's why I usually just stay home. LOL
@GG, welll...It definitely did swell!! HAHA!! But I received so many compliments about it, so a part of me just said..okay..must look nice!
ReplyDelete@Marie I am trying to start a meet up in my area and have so many expectations of what I can do to make it interesting, educational and "chill." I don't want people to feel like they are coming to class, but I want it to be classy! I want there to be a girls night out with a twist of learning! What can I say, I'm a teacher!!
Thank you ladies for your input!
