This past Saturday was the National Natural Hair Meet-up Day hosted by Koils by Nature presented by Hair Rules. Naturals from all over the country had the opportunity to be at a natural event. I personally love the idea! One day designated all in the name of natural hair! YES! This event was in every sense of the word wonderful. It was well organized (which is important), informative and entertaining. The added bonus of refreshments, cupcakes and appetizers was a nice touch. After all with an event held from 12pm-5pm people are bound to get hungry. 
Throughout the day there were scheduled presentations. This included a wide range of general question and answering on natural hair topics, from transitioning tips, protective styling, do’s and don’ts. Bloggers, vloggers, authors and other natural hair personalities were in attendance. At the same time as the presentations there were on site vendors. Allowing customers to sample products, meet the owners and make purchases. Jewelry, hair/skin care, makeup, product swaps and even make overs were available. 
The price was very reasonable for what was being offered. For advance tickets it was $10 with a swag bag included. For advance general admission tickets it was $15 and $20 at the door. Even if there wasn't an early swag bag purchase there were plenty opportunities to receive free samples of products and win free give aways of the latest natural brands!
Overall I had a great time and it was a wonderful experience. There is nothing like a positive atmosphere to keep the day moving smoothly. I highly recommend that you make it to the next one which is scheduled for May 18th 2013. Mark your calendars! Something is telling me that it will be even bigger and better the next go around.
