Hey guys, have you heard? I know I was a bit late on it, but apparently this National Natural Hair Meetup Day has been in the works for MONTHS!! Here's a brief snippet about the event...
The National Natural Hair Meetup Day is an annual one-day event. 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.
The creator and founder of the this brilliant idea is Ms. Adeea Rogers, a beautiful North Carolina natural and the blogger/vlogger behind
The Trendy Socialite. This idea has blossomed into a national day of recognition, inspiring naturals across the states to participate in the celebrating the beauty of being natural. Sponsors are stepping up in a big way too, offering products and discounts to participating meetup groups.
The Houston edition of the NNHMD will take place May 19th, at 3pm at Pappadeaux for those naturals who can attend. Both Nappy Love Houston and Naturally Happy Hair will be represented, as well as many other naturals in the Houston area, so make sure you RSVP as soon as possible so we can reserve appropriate amount of tables.
You can find out more about the NNHMD on the
website, and you can also search for local events in your area
here. I'd love to hear of your experiences on National Natural Hair Meetup Day too, so please feel free to share if you are attending any events!

It was a well worth it project, although I went to the beauty supply store way too many times and spent way too much money...not sure how I did that lol! I used 8 bags of the Equal Freetress Marley braid hair...$5.99-$6.99/bag (between the 2 stores I went to, neither BSS store had everything I needed)...20 pieces per bag...160 braids total. That's a LOT of hair!! I thought I was not going to like the hair at first, it seemed rough but then again I'm used to my own texture. The braids are a bit bulky, and I'm still trying to find a way to style the hair without it looking crazy. My plan is to keep these end through the end of June, but who knows what'll happen. I do miss my hair, but my plan is to get a good & professional trim when I take them down. I didn't do much videoing during the installation because it was hard enough trying to look at myself in the camera and braid straight smh!!! I did take lots of pics and was able to record some of the important steps.
