Hair - Confessions of a Product Junkie
Hello... My name is Nikki and I'm a Product Junkie. While I love all types of products the main that that I can't get enough of are hair products. I've been natural for years, but in the most recent years I told myself I would let my hair grow out without cutting it all off. Which brings me to my current situation at hand.
It all stared in 2011 when I went to 3 Natural Hair Expos in 2 different cities. You see, I live in Austin, TX...and we don't have events like that (Be on the lookout for an announcement this Saturday ;-D). It started in Dallas with the Nappiology Expo www.nappiology.net. I had a great time and I made a few purchases while there. There were also other vendors there that sold TShirts, earring, and other accessories. The next event I went to was the Nzuri Natural Hair Expo www.naturalhairfestival.com. OMG....I was in heaven. There were so many vendors, from Miss Jessie's to Taliah Wajjid. I think I stopped at every single booth. Remember the natural hair scene is still growing here in Austin at the time. Needless to say I left the expo with a few bags of goodies. And to top the year off I finished with an event that Uncle Funky's Daughter Founder had in Houston www.unclefunkysdaughter.com. She had a more intimate event and I enjoyed that very much. It was one on one interaction with the actual owner/founder of the products. You had an oopportunity to learn from the creator how to use the products properly and what works best for your hair type. In 2012 I went back to the Nzuri expo and purchased more products...even though I had tons I hadn't even used from the previous year. In bbetween going to expos, I also signed up for curlBOX www.curlbox.com. curlBOX is a monthly subscription that has full sized and sample sized products delivered to your door once a month for $25. I loved that because it allows me to try different products and find ones that work for me.
There you have it...between hair expos and my curlBox I have my own Beauty Supply store in my closet, lol. But on a serious note, if you are new to the natural hair world, hair expos and natural hair subscription are the way to go. It allows you try an assortment of products at an affordable price. Just try not to turn into a product junkie, lol. Until tomorrow...Stay Fabulous.
