Three weeks ago, Friday 25th January to be exact, I finally got my act together and made it to my first natural hair event, the Nubian Beauty and Photography event in Stratford!
Hosted by and featuring a photography exhibition by Louise Sam, the night was held at Purely Natural. I'm not familiar with the area so had no idea this salon, which caters for Afro and Natural Afro Hair existed, but you learn something new everyday! Word on the street is that they were enlisted to groom the hair Ms Knowles the younger when she was in town recently, so if it's good enough for her...

Of course, my week old hair do was looking a little tired thanks to a sweaty samba session the night before. Hiding my messy barnet underneath a hat would have defeated the purpose of the game, so Friday afternoon was spent trying to revive a dishevelled 2 strand twist into a halfway decent up do!
I met my friend and fellow natural head Ami beforehand, both natural hair event virgins we were equally excited and not really sure what to expect. As soon as we got there however, the smiley faces and spread of nibbles put us at ease. Yes, we've both craven but hey, there are worse vices!
