Capital Naturals 2 in Pictures

I apologize that this is coming so late – I have had a lot on my plate and bad internet connection did not help either.

We had an amazing outing on the 1st of June in Abuja and luckily we were able to capture some of the moments. These are just a few pictures. Chioma Momah of Bibi Naturals took so much more and I will provide a link once she puts up the others.

Just a few words before the pictures – I absolutely loved the ladies at this meet up. We had quite a number of people show up and stay till the very end. They took notes, they bore the heat and the delays. You girls were just amazing!

I did not like the venue very much and I am hoping that we can move it to Baytown in Apo (I hear Abuja folks have something against a place that is not in “town”).  Let me know what you think if you live in Abuja.

Last thing: I would like to thank all of those that volunteered their time and resources to ensure that we pulled this off. Number one on my list being Chizy (check out her blog) – I cannot say enough good things about you. My fellow organizers – Nat. Mane and Chioma of Bibi Naturals made this easy to pull off. I couldn’t have asked for more….

Enjoy the pictures. I start with faces and styles and lead you through some of the vendors (I don’t have pictures of all but my co-organizers will put up those pictures soon. I’ll update with a link when they do.

UPDATE: A post about the event from a fellow blogger. http://tamikoadyms.blogspot.com/2013/06/capital-naturals-2-natural-hair-meetup.html

The very beautiful and fashionable, Onyinye

Her hairdresser actually came with her – which I thought was so nice! Love it when stylists are open to trying new things.

Everyone loved her braid out!

Loved meeting you!

Teni has been a vendor at both events. Apart from selling hair care products, she also bakes and brings scrumptious cakes with her every time. I scoff them down in large amounts.

Our delightful compere!

Miss O. Her mum shared a tip with us – when getting cornrows, add a bit of ‘attachment’/hair to the ends which the beads can be attached to. That way, if the beads cause tangling when being removed, the hair can be cut away with no damage to the child’s hair. A why-didn’t-I-think-about-that! moment for me.

Chizy, I really do not know how to thank you for all you did that day. You are such a darling!
