Hi ladies!
After so much deliberation, I finally succumbed to register for the just concluded
SMWLagos. Well, because you, our readers are very dear to our heart, I attended the
SMWNaturalhair tagged
''Natural Hair, The Social Media Connection'' just to take hair photos. I must confess I was a bit underwhelmed. I expected a lot more naturalistas but then I realised it was a working day, many wouldn't have been able to make it. Anyways, here are the pictures for your viewing pleasure. A lot of ladies were really nice enough to allow me take photos of their hair. Many obliged, a few weren't bothered. I went behind their back and took them anyways.
I apologise for the low quality pictures. The lighting was terrible and I didn't have an external flash.

Nibi Lawson of Kinky Apothecary's lucious curls is the truth.She's been natural since 1998.

| It's a LOC affair. The lady by the extreme right has had hers for 7 years. |

These ladies are easily my favourite for the day.The lady to the left has been natural for 7 years.I must admit I expected more growth. While the other lady has been natural for 16 years.
Well. as usual I didn't remember to take any photo of myself with anyone but fortunately I found this on Facebook.
Yours truly repping by the left.

Wow! Rili nice nd lovely pictures nd hair.... Airtel ogechigodwin@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteYeah. :)
DeleteAwww, I wish the pictures were better. I would have attended if not for work. Next year, I might just take a couple of days off.
ReplyDeleteErm, it would have been nice for a summary on what was discussed and what each person had to say. :)
I got there a little late but it was basically a Q & A session because of the time constraint.
DeleteNibi's hair though ... #drools. Like Berry said, we'd love to know what was discussed so we can learn as well seeing as we couldn't make it.
ReplyDeleteIt was an hour session of Q & A basically.
DeleteIt really gives me joy to see lots of people embracing natural.sweetestgal01@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteIKR!
DeleteIts always nice to see so many ladies with natural hair out there. Must def attend d next one. :)
ReplyDeleteIKR! Yeah you should.
DeleteIs there a particular reason why the lady's mixed heritage was mentioned? If so, you could have provided an ethnic background info on everyone if it was important. I am not of mixed race, in fact 100 per cent Igbo, and from the pic, we have similar hair textures.
ReplyDeleteErr....because of the length of her hair? I actually thought it was a weave.
DeleteHer texture wasn't even in question.
Oooooh and I wanted to be there for motivation as a transition-er,whatever happened? Would jhave really loved to be there to see and probably feel(if allowed) different kinks. Well there's next year and by then I will be fully natural.
ReplyDeleteAwww! There's always a next time.
DeleteLove this :)
