"Take the kinks out of your mind instead of your hair."-Marcus Garvey

I thought this was a great quote from Marcus Garvey!! I feel the kinks are all of the negative thoughts that we as people have toward our natural god given hair. But, anyway I don't want to get too deep into that. I really wanted to come and just share my natural hair inspiration:

Chime!

I love this girls hair! Click here for her youtube. Whenever I am having a rough hair day I take a look at her hair and remind myself of my hair goal!! I think it is important to have a hair inspiration for your rough days. Who is yours?

The Monroe Sisters Meet-Up @ Rare ATL

 Hey Ladies (Gents). So it's the weekend of the World Natural Hair Show!! Of course the weekend is filled with meet-ups and exciting events. Thursday, I along with alot of other beautiful curlies, attended the Monroe sisters Meet-up (Meechy and MsVaugn). The Meet-Up was scheduled to be held @ Rare ATL but, ended up at a tavern next door which worked out perfectly fine. It was great meeting so many natural women. I saw so many different styles it was crazy!!

Meechy and Vaughn were beautiful as usual wearing their super cute twist-outs! They both wore dresses from Blazing Haute Designswhich I loved.

I wore I guess a semi stretched twist-out using Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I pinned up one side to add a little something something (LOL):

It was great mingling and talking to others about which products they use and how and why they went natural.I got so many new styling ideas. I think sometimes we get set on doing 1 style that we forget there are other things to do with our very versatile hair.

The event was from 7-10pm and at 9 there was a giveaway portion(we were given raffle tickets upon arriving). Almost everyone left with something. And if you were 1 of the first 100 to register you received a gift bag as well. (I was one!! YAY! LOL). The sister's also did a favortie thing giveaway where if you answered four questions about them correctly you received a goody bag full of their favortie things. I won Meechy's goodie bag and another lady won Vaughn's. Below I have included some pictures of the event! Enjoy and I hope to see some of you at the Hair Show sunday! If you can't come this year, come next. It's a great event!

I fell in love with her hair!
