Baltimore Natural Hair Care Expo 2013

I've attended the Baltimore Natural Hair Care Expo for the last 3-4 years and I always enjoy myself. I'm happy to see that it is growing into a bigger event with each year. THIS year, it has moved to the Baltimore Convention Center. The dates are March 23 and March 24 (a Saturday and Sunday). I usually attend on Saturdays because I like to dedicate my Sundays to church/rest. FYI in case you may want to meet up! :)

EVENT| Natural is Not a Fad - Coverage

Today I had a GREAT time at the "Natural is Not a Fad" event hosted by Koils of Nature. There were so many vendors and so much great information was shared. Seminars for natural hair care, finances, so many bloggers and artists. I had a ball. If you missed it this year, MAKE SURE you are here next year. To name a few of the vendors/participants at the event, there was Koils by Nature (owner, Pam) - of course!, The Damn Salon, Eden Bodyworks, Bloggers like NaturalChica (Mae), Veronica, and Cassidy. Dr. Phoenyx and Dr. Nina Hervey-Ellis aka "BeautifulBrwnBabyDoll" -- and in addition to meeting some new people I got to see some familiar faces and old friends.

Make sure you visit the Koils by Nature website for Pam's excellent products and get on her mailing list to stay informed of events in the future.

National Natural Hair Meet-Up Day

If you have ever been to a Natural Hair Meet-Up, you know it's a fun event full of great people, excellent products, and tons of networking. I LOVE natural hair meet ups and try to participate when my schedule permits.

National Natural Hair Meet Up Day is an annual one-day event. This year it is May 19th. Its purpose is to allow the opportunity for women across the country to meet in their own communities while networking, sharing and meeting (virtually) other women across the country participating in meetups on the same day. Natural hair meetups are events designed to share information, techniques, inspiration and products to aid individuals in their natural hair journey.
Attendees of the natural hair meetup will be able to:

• Meet other naturals in their area
• Gain exposure to natural hair product lines and companies
• Learn the process of planning and executing a natural hair meetup (event hosts)
• Meet natural hair and beauty bloggers and Youtube vloggers
• Network with other natural hair meetup organizers (event hosts)
• Discover resources, techniques, products and people that can serve as inspiration and information for the natural hair care journey
