“You define your natural”-
As many of you may know, I am transitioning again. Yes, I am on my natural hair journey yet again. This time I will succeed if it kills me. Even if the comb breaks again while trying to detangle the middle of my hair, I will add more oil or moisturizer and persevere through. I will NOT be a quitter!
While on my journey, I have been attending lots of events about hair care, some natural specific and others about general hair health. When I saw that Luster’s You Be Natural was hosting something in Baltimore, I knew I had to attend and I made a fantastic decision by doing so. Between the mini massages, manicures, informative sessions, delicious treats (wonton shrimp, need I say more?!?!) and the beautiful natural hair attendees to photograph, I learned a ton and was inspired!
I had a chance to speak with some of the hair gurus, shout out to KP the Texture Man, as well as Theresa Luster, daughter of President of Luster Products Jory Luster and we went from chatting about hair to literally goofing off and laughing uncontrollably. The entire Luster company team was not only extremely knowledgeable about hair and their own products but ridiculously friendly and engaging. They all mingled with attendees and you can without a doubt tell that they believe in their products and WANT to help the community. During the small presentation, I was shocked at how straight KP The Texture Man was able to get one of the models’ hair by using strictly You Be Natural products. I went to the event hell bent on not spending ANY money but in the end had to leave with the Tangle Me Knot Detangling Shampoo and the Edge Tamer All Day Hold Gel. KP explained to me how the latter does provide non greasy, non flaking all day smoothing of the edges and before he finished speaking, I was pulling out my card!
After working the event ( snapping photos and conducting interviews), Teena of Fashion 4 Breakfast, Keiona of iStyle Like Me and I headed over to the photo booth to express and capture our silly sides and then ended the night by dancing like no one was watching!
