Cassidy's Naturals Night Out - Saturday April 9th!!

Cassidy at Natural Selection blog has been putting together great  events for us in the Bay Area.  The next event will be next Saturday, April 9th at 7pm.  Here is more about the event from Cassidy's blog: 

"We’ll be taking over Head Designs Salon in Oakland for the evening where you’ll get to enjoy music, champagne, and meeting new and old Bay Area Naturals friends!  There will be FOUR styling demonstrations by the expert stylists at Head Designs Salon.  Styles will feature transitioners, loc’ers, and loose naturals — so we’re covering a huge part of the natural hair spectrum! The stylists will be using Komaza Care products!  Even more exciting is that the Komaza Care Family will BE at the event so you can get to know the amazing women (and men) behind the company.  Attendees will also have the chance to win giveaways sponsored by Komaza Care and NaturallyCurly.com.  But not to worry, if you don’t win big,  all attendees will receive goodie bags with product samples and CurlMart coupons sponsored by NaturallyCurly.com."

About Tress Talk

Tress Talk is the brainchild of three ambitious curly girls, Sheronda Campbell, Benita Brown and Kimberly Walker. Their passion for multi-textural hair led them to become beauty consultants at one of the top natural hair salons in the nation. After identifying a lack of knowledgeable  multi-textural hair care specialists in the beauty industry, they decided to form a consulting firm to share their styling techniques. Tress Talk models its modern approach after some of the top multi-textural stylists and leading cutting edge retailers like Miss Jessie’s and Anthony Dickey’s Hair Rules. Their mission is to provide women and men with practical tips and affordable ways to style their kinky, curly and wavy hair.

RE: Bay Area Natural Hair Event

Hello everyone,

This past weekend I attended the Natural Selection Bay Area Summer Curlabration event. And it was a lot of fun. I meet some beautiful women that are natural, and women that where transitioning, that came for advice and inspiration. See below for pictures from the event: This first picture is of myself with Cassidy, the creator of Natural Selection Blog and the person that put the gathering together. The event took place at a restaurant in San Francisco, CA.
