Me and my girl Tobes  had a wonderful day out at Curvolution’s Curlfriends Day Out 2013 yesterday.

The highlights for me were the talks from Dr Hair (aka Reginald Mitchell, International Director of Education for Namaste Laboratories) and American blogger Afrobella.

I asked Dr Hair about using vitamins to aid hair growth and he said that vitamin K and leafy greens are essential for healthy hair. He also said that iron supplements are important for those with anaemia. I have read about this so it was good to receive confirmation from an expert.

I enjoyed the motivational aspects of the event courtesy of Action Jackson. He managed to persuade shy naturals to come up on stage to affirm that they are amazing, which was no mean feat. Everyone was so supportive of one another and there was a lot of love in the house 🙂

There were live hair styling demonstrations and plenty of giveaways but sadly I didn’t win anything. But I wasn’t sad for too long as everybody went home with a goodie bag filled with products from Beautiful Textures, Curls Unleashed and Curls.

This lot should keep me going for the next 6 months. Good times! 🙂
