2012 World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show
Okay ~so my first
trip to a Hair Show was Phenomenal!! I attended the Taliah Waajid Natural Hair
Show in Atlanta with my besties!! Let me just say that it was FANTASTIC! It is
so inspiring and enriching to see so many beautiful Black women, with their own
Natural hair, just hanging out and enjoying each other.
So we arrived Friday
afternoon, went to dinner and drinks, and prepared ourselves for what we knew
would be an overwhelming day. We arrived at the convention (within walking
distance from the hotel) and saw these huge lines for “checking in”. I am so
glad that we purchased our tickets on line, as the line to buy that day was CRAZY!!
Do you remember
the scene in Trading Places when Eddie Murphy and Dan Akryod, enter onto the
trading floor, and there was so much activity? This was just like that, once we
walked through the doors! There were so many people, so many booths and cameras
and action! People doing hair, fashion shows, teeth whitening (wouldn’t
recommend), people selling jewelry, hair products, bath and body products,
clothes, free samples, extremely discounted products~ Just unbelievable!
We purchased
tickets to go into the workshops, but never made it. We spent all of our time
on the trade show floor. We took a break for lunch and then went back. Some of
your old favorites were there~ Shea Moisture www.sheamoisture.com , Jane Carter www.janecartersolution.com , Dr.
Miracles www.drmiracles.com . And some
new faces Feng Shui Organics, www.fengshuiorganics.com
Lodie Locks www.lodielocks.com ,
Urbanbella www.urbanbella.com . It is
really something you need to experience. If you are “Transitioning” this is
where you need to be. I found some serious jewelry from Anu http://www.anurockmetal.com/,
and amazing “Kick Butt “ fashions
from www.Flavafashioncafe.org .

| MY NEW EARRINGs! |
One of my favorite
spots was Camille Rose Naturals! (I went back 3 times)! I purchased 3 of her
Lemon Meringue Body Butters~WHAT?! That’s what I said Lemon Meringue Body
Butter. I have not stopped putting it on since I brought it on Saturday (It’s
now Friday!) I love this stuff, I can’t stop smelling myself! www.camillerosenaturals.com
So in conclusion
(for now anyway)-I had never gone to a hair show before, all that HYPE was not
for me! But I have to say that it was pure pleasure to see all these Natural
Sisters in one place and just enjoying each other. You truly missed something
great if you didn’t attend. BUT WAIT, there is an upcoming one in October 2012.
That’s right on October 6th and 7th you can head out to
Atlanta to let your Natural Self shine!!
