Picture this if you will curvy divas, a beautiful and balmy Sunday afternoon
in sunny Orlando. A nice drive into a
great neighborhood where, as you continue to drive you are greeted with tree
lined, brick streets.
I was very excited to attend the recent Natural Hair & Beauty Expo Spring Social hosted by Natashia E. Ford and Donna Benton of Chase Ford Productions, held at the Winter Park Club House. We were seated at round tables in a room with windows that overlooked the park nearby, where a bevy of beautiful ladies sat in all their natural glory.
The stylish and colorful attire of the attendees was a delight and quite refreshing from the usual flip flops and shorts that have become a staple for some Floridians because of the heat and unpredictability of the weather. I gladly helped myself to the refreshing drinks, fruits, and cool finger sandwiches provided by our hostesses.
The beauty expo is an annual event and this year’s featured guest, creator of Wonder Curl natural hair products, Scarlett Rocourt, lead a lively discussion and
gave advice about the do’s and don’ts of caring for our natural
tresses. She also demonstrated how to detangle,
define, and style while using Wonder Curl, with the assistance of a volunteer from the audience who was gifted with beautiful defined
curls at the end of the demonstration.
In between the discussion and demonstration, some lucky members of the audience were lucky winners of hair products and other items raffled by the hosts. Guess who had the chance to give a brief introduction about themselves and their blogs? Me of course!! Along with other bloggers who were also in attendance. It was a great afternoon spent networking and meeting some really great women. And an even nicer time spent bonding with my two girls who attended the event with me.

Also in attendance was Natural Hair Specialist, Tonya, of Natural Tresses, Orlando’s Premier natural hair Salon & Spa. She highlighted some of the common problems her salon clients experienced and what she had to do to fix them. We learned it was very important to have our ends trimmed every six weeks. You do this to get rid of dead ends, and have new growth.
