A
few weekends ago I attended my first meet-up with the "Let's Talk About
Hair" Naturals Group. "Let's Talk About Hair" is a Natural Hair Forum
and Support Club for Naturals here in the state of Oklahoma. They have
monthly meetings at various venues to discuss natural hair, share tips,
and to encourage one another while they are on their natural hair
journey.

That
particular Saturday the meetup was being help at the Ralph Ellison
Library in Oklahoma City and Desiree' Irving, a natural hair stylist at
the Hair Cafe in OKC, was the key note speaker. Desiree' and I go way
back, so I had to attend and show some support.
The "Let's Talk About Hair" group served refreshments and held raffles for a few giveaways.
It
was so good to see so many Naturals in one setting here in Oklahoma.
We were all sharing tips and information about different products and
techniques we have tried and mastered. It was good to be able to mingle
with others that had the same interest "Natural Hair".
Desiree'
was able to give information from the perspective of a hairstyles and
as a natural on a few topics such as deciding to go natural and how to
care for your hair, and she even did a mini hair show with Centerria
Wright, a professional make-up artist and owner of Visioned Kleur
Make-up Artistry LLC. providing the make-up; and with Eureka Calhoun a
stylist and blogger at
www.qvelvet.com, providing the styles.

Centerria gave each model a natural makeup look and stressed the fact
that foundation would not be necessary during the spring/summer time.
You can use a little concealer and maybe a brush of powder to get a nice
fresh look. She also was so against using a black pencil to do your
eyebrows. Using a dark brown even if your hair is black would look more
natural for the brows.
Eureka is all about being a savvy shopper and thrifing. It's all about mixing patterns and prints and not being afraid of color. Also you can have your statement piece and dress around that.

The
fashionable Eureka E. Calhoun pulled a lucky lady from the audience and
did a quick makeover of her. I didn't get a before pic of her, but the
after pic is below.
Below are more shots I took at the meet-up. There are so many lovely naturalistas here in Oklahoma City.
