The Afro Hair and Beauty Show 2012

To be honest with you, I was not really looking forward to this show, as I had ordered my tickets way in advance, and I was still waiting for them a week before the show, so with a lot of back and forth emails, my tickets were at the desk waiting for me...


My View on the show
If you are a person like me, who is on a natural hair journey, this is the place to be, where as back in the day you would be hard pushed to find a natural hair stand,  trust me when I say, you were spoilt for choice! it was like a natural or transitioning persons, sweet shop, oh my life, so many goodies....at stupid prices and I mean STU-PID!, so much information on natural hair, not to mention "Jilll Scotts" Hair stylist "Felicia Leatherwood" was giving a seminar, on natural hair care! so much information! I was just soaking it all in like an excited child...

The only thing about this hair show is if you are relaxed, ( i don't know if this is because it was the first day of the show?) you were hard pushed to find alot of stands talking or even selling relaxers, and stuff for relaxed hair care, so I did feel that the woman who relax's her hair would have felt a bit left out ( I know right, role reverse!)   which is not good in a way because ( even though i will never relax my hair again) it should've been an equal balance, but it just goes to show that there is a natural movement going on, and it's powerful!

Here are some of  my goodies from yesterdays show....

Free stuff! :-)

£5 each!! 

50p each! 

£20 for this set ( for my daughter)

£10 for this set

Today is the last day of the hair show, if you can make it do, its £12 at the door, but its worth it! 

"WARNING! IT MIGHT MAKE YOU A PRODUCT JUNKIE! BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE SO SO GOOD! just saying!"

The other thing I liked about the show is they also had black dollys with afro hair, curly hair,braided hair  and books for your children, natural raw products you can buy....

I will be going again next year....
