RECAP: Kim Cole Celebrates YOU! Event

Last Thursday, the hubs & I + Bopee had the pleasure of attending the Kim Coles Celebrates YOU! event at Natural Resources Salon. I think this is the 1st time the hubs has ever accompanied me to a natural hair event. I usually go with other girls or by myself. His real motive? He wanted to meet Kim Coles! Unfortunately, he didn't get to meet her, but we still had a fabulous time talking with some off of my blog buddies, meeting new people, & eating of course!

Tamara of Natural Hair Rules & Ashley of Medley, Inc. Both of these ladies are awesome!!

Great food....

It's Daddy & Bopee! Khloa was a hit as usual! She was up in there clapping & everything.

Me, Donica of Feel Bootiful Inside, & Reiko of God's Favorite Shoes. I hadn't seen Reiko in soooooo long. It was so good to see her!!

Kim Coles!

Natural Resources presented her with a gift which was a.....

cowboy hat! She is officially a Texan!

Your girl Khloa immediately grabbed Rocquelle from Consider Me Lovely's blouse as she walked by. She apparently loves sequins! lol And check out Rocquelle's mohawk!!

Some of the Houston bloggers! L-R Vernetta of Women Are Gamechangers, Me, Tashia of Diary of a Twisted Sistah, Teirra of Naturally Happy Hair, & Lisa of This Hair of Mine.

I saw one of my readers, Brenda! You may remember her from my 2nd Annual HairGurl Affair. She was transitioning back then, but baby she's natural now! Her hair was so pretty and shiny.
Pic of my outfit to the right. Thanks Lisa from This Hair of Mine! (snagged from her fb page)

Hair: This is the best pic I could get of it. It's a last minute twistout turned into an updo! I set the twistout a few hours before we left....took all of 10 minutes. I tend to do quick twistouts when I'm in a rush, lol. But hey they work for me.

Kim Coles also did a blogger roundtable with the bloggers after the event. I'm gonna upload some of the footage from that as well. :-)

If you wanna see more pics check out Naturally Happy Hair & This Hair of Mine Facebook pages! They took way more pics than I did!

Natural Resources Salon to Launch Live Stream Series

 For Immediate Release: Natural Resources Salon to Launch a Live Stream Series to Educate Women on Healthy Hair

"Naturally Live" will feature demonstrations, discussion forums and more

Houston, TX, November 6nd, 2011- On Tuesday, November 15th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. CST, Natural Resources Salon will launch their first live stream series titled, "Naturally Live." The 3-part series will focus on healthy hair maintenance, easy, do it yourself styling and will act as a discussion forum for hot topics related to natural hair. Users can participate from wherever they are, using multiple social media networks and can send in questions leading up to the event.

Salon Owner Tamika Fletcher said, “We do in-person consultations everyday, email questions and social media inquiries non-stop. I'm ready to start sharing our knowledge with a broader audience, in a more intimate way."

The first show, titled "The Basics of Transitioning," will focus on how to transition hair while working in corporate America as well as how to properly comb out hair. The staff at Natural Resources Salon are passionate about raising awareness about hair loss prevention, particularly among children and practicing good habits from the start. Fletcher said that the key is to start by simply knowing how to properly comb out your hair. “Too often I've seen women become discouraged in their transition because they feel like their hair is too difficult to manage. I want to show them that there are ways to make the process easier, while still saving you time and energy,” said Fletcher.

The discussion forum will give women an opportunity to share about concerns and challenges they've faced in their transition. For instance, Fletcher recently appeared on Houston's KHOU Ch. 11 sharing about her hair pat down by airport security. The goal is to continue discussions such as this during the live streaming event. The remaining portion of the event will feature an interview with a woman who's currently in transition, a live demonstration and a Q & A with Fletcher. Questions can be submitted live, during the event and leading up to it on the Natural Resources Salon Facebook Page and Twitter Account.

Register and sign up for reminders at www.livestream.com/naturalresourcessalon. Natural Resources is on Facebook at Facebook.com/NaturalResourcesSalon and on Twitter at @Natural_Mecca. The series Twitter hashtag is #Naturallylive.
