Natural Hair Meet Ups In August

Once upon a time, the number of natural hair meet ups we had in Nigeria were a few and far between. You could literally count them with your fingers. But these days, things have changed. A decent percentage of Nigerian women have gone natural and are looking up to online communities for moral support hence the need for more meet ups.

It's August 2017, there are five meet ups across Lagos and one in the East. What a time to be alive!

It's been a while since we updated you with details of meet ups but we're fixing that now so you can plan to attend.

Recap: NITC17

Hello, everyone!

The 17th edition of Naturals In The City(NITC) has come and gone and as usual, we had a swell time. If you didn't attend, you definitely missed a lot which is why I have put together this little recap.

But before then, it is worth noting that this time, there were no workshops or hair talks just professionals teaching us about how to take care of health.

Enjoy!

Were you able to attend NITC17?

Recap: Naturals In The City 16

Hello everyone,

#NITC16 has come and gone and as usual, I had such an amazing time even from the entrance. This time, we managed to gather about a hundred people most of which were new attendees. (Side-eye to our regulars, y'all didn't show up!) But it's all good. It means that more people are hearing about it which is a good thing.

Although I couldn't attend the events in itself, the lovely Uzoma of Don't Touch The Hair, our in-house live-tweeter made sure I didn't miss a thing. Ekene of The Kink and I also made sure she covered everything before our official photographer arrived. Make sure you stay tuned to nitcnigeria.com for the official photos.

In the meantime, here's how it all when down.

#NITC16 began with a free yoga class which was on a first come - first, serve basis. It was hosted by Nsa Ntuk, a certified yoga trainer. Most people came late but Nsa was gracious enough to host another class.

The second workshop was a Makeup Masterclass with the very lovely Whitney Madueke.

After the end of the two workshops, it was time for the talks. In between, we had a surprise guest from TVC News. It was totally unexpected as we didn't invite or expect them. They managed to interview a couple of us, myself included.

Yay Me!

Altogether, there were four enlightening talks. Even I was jealous of those that waited all through until the end to soak in all of the information. Anyway, Uzoma has storified her tweets so it's easier to follow and understand.

Enjoy!

Regulars, y'all can see what you missed yeah?

You'll agree with me that this quarter was packed.

Finally,

You can check The Kink and I  and Don't Touch The Hair for photos and their individual recap.

#NITC16 Is Here: 5 Reasons You Should Attend Natural Hair Meetups!

Hello, everyone!

Naturals In The City quarterly lifestyle meet-up is here again. It is the 16th edition and it promises to be fun! We'll be talking herbs, yoga, GMOs and of course, hair. You need to attend.

In the meantime, if you're not yet sold on the whole meet-ups, here are five valid reasons you could reconsider.

• To bond with kindred spirits.

For naturalistas, meet-ups are possibly the only avenue we get to bond and network over hair and sometimes, food. Granted, the awareness isn’t mainstream yet so we still have a lot of work to do. But during meet-ups, we throw all of that out of the window for a couple of hours and just have some good ole fun. Funny enough, all of the new friends I’ve made in recent times have been as a result of the quarterly meet-ups I attend. So, if you’re looking to bond with kindred spirits, meet-ups are a good place to start.

Naturals in The City, Lagos quarterly meet up is slaying this weekend!! We will have an actual Yoga workshop so dress comfortably and bring a mat! We will have a limited number of mats available so bring yours to be sure you get one. @nsaevolves who is a certified Yoga instructor will also be talking to us about YOGA AND MINDFUL LIVING. The benefits of yoga are enormous for all ages. Come, listen and see how it will benefit you. #nitc16 #nitc #naturalnigerian

• To save delivery charges on products and stock up on staples

I can’t be the only one who gets upset over the ridiculous delivery charges of some brands. Usually, I stay clear of those brands except they come as vendors during meet-ups. That’s the only time I get to patronize them without worrying about the delivery, the condition of the products and other trivial matters. You get real-time feedback. You also get to compare products with others before or after purchase. Additionally, NITC is a time to stock up on my staple products. 

Herbs. They are abundant and placed around us for our use. For health. Wealth. Nourishment. Come learn how you can nourish your body with herbs, how you can improve your health with them. How to take them safely. There will be a show and tell given by Mrs. Nwosu (former matron at Federal Medical Center). I particularly like the fact that she will worked in the medical field for decades and is still in touch with nature. #nitc16 #nitc #naturalnigerian

• Real-time information and assistance.

• If you have any hair issues and need information or assistance, meet-ups are the best way to get them. The first time I heard that my hair was 4a rather than 4c was from a trichologist at a meet-up. I had absolutely no idea. All I knew was my hair wasn’t like most people. Then came Natmane to squash all my fears. She also gave me some insight into my hair type and confirmed some of the challenges I face. That was possibly my favorite meet-up so far especially since I had to work all through. That information at the last-minute went a long way.

•  Product samples and giveaways.

During one of our previous meet-ups, there was a section for product swap. The idea was to bring any product you weren’t feeling anymore and swap it something else you might like. Of course, it had to be used halfway and also be in decent condition. Meet-ups are also an opportunity to get product samples which some of the vendors like to give out and also to win giveaways. Who doesn’t like freebies?

• Workshops and styling sessions.

The biggest challenge most people have is styling their natural hair. Meet-ups are a good way to start. Usually, there are styling sessions where hair stylists on the ground make demonstrations. Again, there’s nothing like real-time styling sessions especially since a lot of our Nigerian salons aren’t knowledgeable beyond the status quo. Also, workshops are a great way to learn new things e.g how to eat right for a healthy hair, what products to avoid, yoga and whatnot.

Bottom line, not every time YouTube, sometimes, meet-ups.

Have you attended any meet-up before? What did you learn? What stood out for you and why did you go?

Love, curls, and coils.
