Kinky Hair Unlocked: Event Recap

Bloggers Kiwi the Beauty & Naturally Glam

This past weekend in Atlanta was a complete world wind of fun, events and little to no sleep (glad I had that bed at the Hilton though check out my review HERE). 

My first stop only hours after I hopped off the plane on Friday evening was the Kinky Hair Unlocked Event Hosted by Trudy of 4C Hair Chicks and Dark And Lovely, representing real well for all of our tightly coiled  type 4 natural hair ladies!

Not only was it my first real trip to the A but it was my first MAJOR natural hair weekend where I would FINALLY get to see all my favorite blogger curl friends that I only know from across the internet.

Like the lovely @KlassyKinks

and @Etcblogmag & @allthingsbee

It was an absolutely AMAZING and informational event that really helped educate all of the type 4 naturals on how to achieve maximum length and healthy happy hair.

Overall Event Rating: 5 out of 5 curls

I am so super proud of Trudy the founder of 4cHairChick.com which is the #1 online community dedicated to celebrating women with type 4 natural hair and I commend her on pulling this event together and wish her continued success!

When asked why she had the Kinky Hair Unlocked Event Trudy said " I wanted to create a unique, in person hair care experience unlike any other. Kinky Hair Unlocked is different than other natural hair events because our line up of speakers is comprised primarily of certified experts"

I cant wait until my next time in atlanta and the next time I get to see my new blogger boo's and curlfriends in person!
