The event was very well attended – and I think everybody really enjoyed themselves.  Its nice to see that Toronto’s Natural Community continues to grow.  Shout out to the Toronto Bellas – Faith and Mona who I chilled with on Friday night and Sabrina – a local member I met from the Naturally Curly Hair Forum.  Sorry I never took pics – but you can check some out here.

World Natural Hair Health & Beauty Show

Jam packed with tons of events and exhibitors – read what the organizers have to say about the event…

Everyone is excited about the 2009 World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show on April 4-5, 2009. This year we are planning an even more exciting show thanthe last. Our halls will be filled with excitement, beautiful people, beautiful fragrances, music and a sea of information on natural hair, health and beauty. The interest in natural hair continues to grow as it has become an official choice for hair care for African Americans and consumers globally.

The world now sees natural hair in a more positive light as mainstream visuals of  actors, sports figures, models, doctors, anchormen/women, children, etc. are wearing a variety of styles with natural textures. Even weave-wearers are choosing hair with tighter curl patterns as they too want the look of natural hair. More people are embracing their natural beauty-and history repeats itself again as other nationalities desire the look of natural styles as well. Now the show has even more to offer as larger numbers of people both nationally and globally embrace the beauty of natural hair.

The World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show is the first and largest of its kind. Our show offers the largest natural hair competitions, free consumer and professional workshops, hands-on professional workshops, national and international exhibitors, the top natural hair care educators, Da Poet’s Corner ™, entertainment and so much more. We are very proud of what our show offers.

As I posted last week, BET’s Rip the Runway taped this past weekend in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom.  From the pics, it looked like it was a pretty fly event – Slowly make sure you are taking notes.  Host Joy Bryant rocked some make up (yay!)  She notoriously shows at big Hollywood events completely fresh faced and thank goodness she changed it up this time and put some on.  She’s gorgeous with or without but I appreciate some glossy lips and blush every now and again.  Bryant’s co-host Derek Luke looked hot in suit and tie.  Anyhow, TI, Keri Hilson, Mavado, The Dream, Bobby V, Busta, etc performed.  Looking forward to watching it on the tube in March. 

 Check out the pics…
