Weekend Rundown | African Pride and Beautiful Textures Events

I had such a jam packed weekend and it was completely awesome!!  I got the opportunity to attend not one, but TWO events hosted by top hair care brands African Pride and Beautiful Textures!  These private events really gave us the opportunity to learn more about the brand itself, as well as the new products that are coming to market.

African Pride made Houston the second stop on its Ultimate Beauty Social tour.  During the brunch, attendees were treated to healthy options for both food and hair!  We got the chance to learn about the long-standing brand, check out the newest additions to their line, and network with some of the top bloggers, businesses and media in the Houston area.  They brought in special guest hosts The Science of Black Hair author Audrey Davis-Sivasothy, Natural Hair Rules blogger Tamara Floyd, and Live Life in Style fashion & style blogger Shalanda "Shasie" Turner to facilitate a great Q&A session.  But we can't forget about the main reason for bringing us all together...THE PRODUCTS!!

I got to bring home the new & improved Miracle Cream and the brand new Silky Smooth Edges from the Olive Miracle line, as well as the Bouncy Curls Pudding from the new Shea Butter Miracle line.  They've also added a new Detangling Shampoo, Leave-In, Buttery Cream, Silky Edges and Growth Oil in this line, and I really can't wait to see how this does on my hair so I can try the others!!  And what's even better is the price...you can find most of these products at your favorite retailer for under $5!  Check the video below for my recap and a peek at the products.  To keep up with the tour you can follow @MyAfricanPride on Twitter, and remember to use hashtag #UltimateBeautySocial to stay in the loop on the next stop!

 

 

Later that evening came the chance for an intimate dinner in celebration of the newest products to come to the Beautiful Textures product line.  This super affordable line ($7 bucks!!) is coming out with 3 new products: Curl Definer Mousse, Edges to Ends, and Curl Definer Custard.  We got to go home with the first two products and I must say I cannot wait to try the mousse!  I've been dreaming of a rod set so I think it'd be great for that style.  I've seen the Beautiful Textures in Sally's before and I'm so excited I get to try the newest products from the brand. 

 

 

 

What I really loved about this event was the interactive nature in which we were able to ask & answer questions, discuss hot topics within the natural hair community, and be open and honest about our own personal hair struggles as well as triumphs.  You can follow the the Beautiful Textures brand using their Twitter/Instagram handle @lovinmytextures and by using the hashtag #TeamTextured.

I'd also like to send a big thanks out to The Garner Circle, the PR team for both African Pride and Beautiful Textures.  Nicole Garner, CEO of the company, was beyond sweet and did a fabulous job bringing the brands to the city.  Houston is well on its way to being a stronghold in the natural hair care industry, and I can't thank her and her company enough for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

 

Oh, and stay tuned for reviews of these new products ;)
