THE NHCG SALON DAY OUT 2015

 

Hello ladies,

 

It was awesome!!!!!! The Naija Hair Can Grow  (NHCG) Salon Day Out 2015 was absolutely awesome.

The event was held on 7^th June at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos. I loved that all hair types were welcome. It didn’t matter if you were relaxed, natural, texlaxed, loc’d, weaved, braided up or anything in between.  Isn’t it great when we all hang out together!!

I had my hair styled in a bow bun and bangs which was quite popular on the day. I can’t count how many times got asked for a picture of the style.

The day kicked off with a panel of hair care bloggers ( natural, texlaxed and transitioning) all talking about their hair journeys. Dabs ( the founder of the blog, Naija Hair Can Grow) was kind enough to ask me to speak on the panel. Even though I was well prepared I was so super nervous but got through my section without embarrassing myself too much. The other bloggers also did such a good job with their sections and were soooooooo funny and informative.

 

 

Following the bloggers panel, there were showcases by stylists and salon owners who did live demonstrations of how to create some hairstyles (on natural hair and extensions).

The style demos were followed by the Battle of the Hairlistas in which two groups of natural ladies were given various hair style and hair care challenges to complete.

There were also many hair and beauty vendors in attendance. I had stocked up on hair products before the event but indulged in some skin care products from Ajali, an all natural handmade skin care products company.

My sister and I’s wig company Hair by Type 4 also had a stand and we displayed some of our sample wigs and got to meet land speak with a lot of attendees about our wigs and services. More news on our wigs coming soon.

 

All in all the day was eventful, educative and positive. A big congratulations to Dabs on hosting such a fab event. More grease to your elbows Dabs and see you again next year.

As you may have noticed majority of these pictures are from the Berry Dakara blog, who did a much much better job of documenting the event than I did.

 

The next blog post will be a hair update. Its wash day for me today so the post will be up soon.
