Curly Centric Meet-Up

So I am finally getting around to posting about the meet-up. It was great. It was held at the University of the West Indies Visitors Lodge on the 21st of September (yes I am late with this I know)

The event was hosted by Design Essentials and we got goodie bags ^^

*Please note* All photos were taken from the Curly Centric FB page since I cannot find mine....*

The event was small but it was good fun, We had a Woogie challenge 

Creator of the Woogie Lacey-ann Bartley (check out their facebook page.)

 My team and our model (we had a tie y'all....but we were the best team!)

A Woogie

Next We had a great informative session with Stylists from Design Essentials and a nutritionist who was also very informative on getting and maintaining healthy hair and skin.

I bought some fab earrings, a Woogie, and some Design Essentials products (review coming soon)

Here are some more pics from the event.

 Hey! 

I just love her high bun!

Mi head back! Wasn't my hair on point y'all??

I will be doing a review of the event and products soon, when I can find my photos......until then...

Peace

COSMOTOPIA 2013

Hey peoples! I  FINALLY got internet so I can stop mooching off the neighbours!!! so I went to COSMOTOPIA about two weeks ago sans Ari, but still got some great stuff!

COSMOTOPIA is an annual beauty expo here in Jamaica. Ari and I went to our first expo in 2011 and got some great stuff.

The first booth I stopped at was of course Kumea's Hair Perspective To check out her AWESOME products! I got her Hair Smoothie and went straight home to do my hair. The first time I used the  Hair Smoothie I borrowed some from my sister to finish my twists and I ended up using the whole jar! 

Hair Smoothie

Kumea and I. Leave it to me to wear the same shirt!!

Twist out using Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In and Eco Styler Custard ( reviews coming soon).

Ok so I started off with the twist out. I noticed that I had some flaking in my hair after the second day. I'm not so sure if it was the combination of the two products or what.

Can you see them?

I washed, detangled, sprayed some aloe vera juice and separated my hair into big twists.

I use Naptural85's twist out method to achieve my styles.

I am very heavy handed when it comes to product but I was surprised when I barely scratched the surface of the jar!  What you see there is how little it took to do half of my hair.

Can you say thoroughly impressed?

  

The finished twists

The twist-out. Hair was soft and not "heavy" with product. Usually my hair is a magnet for dust and debris after a few hours but never had that with the smoothie.

 I gathered the hair into a ponytail and tied it down with my silk scarf and bonnet and went to bed.

Next day hair

It shrunk a little but I am not complaining!

Overall, I LOVE this product and will continue to use it for my twits outs. I will have to give the heavy butters a break because I do like my hair to be debris free most of the time. I will definitely have to stock up on this product! Kumea keep on doing your thing girl!

So until the next review,

Peace.
