Baltimore Natural Hair Care Expo April 2009, Quick Review of Ashea 100% shea butter pomade

[nikknikk19]

the girl from oyin looked kind of rude and disinterested

[3eerht3]

Hi Shida! I thank you for posting your visit to this event, but I would definitely like to attend them as well. Can you tell me of any other natural hair events like this coming up in the near future. Or where I can get this information. Thank you

[ShidaNatural]

I periodically do a google search using keywords like hair show or natural hair show new jersey new york baltimore atlanta or whatever states/cities you're close to... plus my sis keeps my updated since sh'se the owner/operator of her salon and likes to keep on the up and up about new stuff regarding hair.

[yoruba21]

Was that Na-klectic hair salon? i just got my hair done their this past Friday, love the atmosphere. I will be there next year!

[ShidaNatural]

No... Malik, the guy who did my hair, doesn't work for Na-klectic hair salon. He works for Yaffa Studio. Their website is in the description box to the right.

[Hunnydukes]

I wish they sold that tikka that you had on in (5:50). I want that so bad!!!

[ShidaNatural]

Taz Creations does sell it. It's just not advertised on their website. Look in my description box to see their weblink and go to their website and call the number they provide and tell them what you want. As a matter of fact, the owner took my picture with it on at the hair show to put up on her website, but trust & believe they have them available for you.

[Hunnydukes]

Ok, thanks girl!

[valeriethechinadoll]

that is so sweet of u 2 advertise 4 them like that. It looked like fun. God bless my sis in Christ;)

[ShidaNatural]

It was tons of fun :-)

[ilove2sing23]

When is the next one? And is it only in Baltimore?

[ShidaNatural]

I will send you the weblink to one of my other videos where I posted 2 upcoming hair shows at the bottom of the description box. The 2 upcoming hair shows are happening this Sun, 5/17 & Mon, 5/18 2009. One is in Baltimore, MD. The other is in Secaucus, NJ. I'm going to the one in Secaucus on Mon, 5/18/09.

[yumypopcorn]

So cool, and advertising for the different companies awesome that was so so cool of you to do that. Love the video and would love to come next time :)

[ShidaNatural]

You would enjoy it.

[beatstopper]

Hi Shida, I LOVE that hair accessory you have on your head in the last half of the video. Can you please tell me where you got it? I checked the link from Taz Creations, but could not find it. If you know the link, could you please please send it to me? I'm getting married soon and would LOVE to wear something like this instead of the usual tiara. thanks so much!

[ShidaNatural]

I got that adornment piece from Taz Creations. It's unfortunate that they do not have those particular pieces displayed on their website. They have so many different colors and styles too. I'm sure you can still order one. The name of the person who makes them is Tienne Bryan and she can be contacted at (347) 564-0658 or you can email her at tazcreation@cs(dot com)

[imjustlekia]

Hey Shida, this is KiKi of DivaEars... thank you so much! It was so good to meet you and thankx for the advice...

[ShidaNatural]

Girl, I told you that YouTube is the bomb and a great resource to get your biz known. I just posted this video a couple days ago, and it's already received 525 views, so you can imagine how many people this one video may have brought or will bring to your website (which is posted in the descr. box to the right). I hope your biz is extremely successful. Get your biz on the Tube girl. IT'S FREE!!!

[MsTashiaisontherise]

Great info girl from the vendors...Thanks!

[ShidaNatural]

It was my pleasure.

[kokofemme]

Lov'd how your hair turned out too!

=)

[ShidaNatural]

Thank you Love

[kokofemme]

Oooh gurl, I can't wait til nursing school is over next year so I can get back on my travel grind! I am planning to attend a natural hair care expo next year most definitely. I truly thank you for all of the wonderful info and links. Truly awesome you are!

♪ kokofemme ♪

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, it definitely was an experience I would recommend for any natural.

[lyndaespratley]

[ShidaNatural]

Ur wlcm girl... lol

[155linden]

Great video, I felt like I was there.. I live about 11/2 hr from B'More, but had no one to go with and had no sitter !!! Don't you feel my pain !! LOL . Anyway, thank you for your diligence and persistent ways to get the vid out. That's why we love you.

[ShidaNatural]

It was very time-consuming putting this vid 2gether, but I enjoy it. I do feel your pain girl. I hope to see you next year. Peace n Love

[anthonydowe]

Natural Hair Product Junkie...worse than a kid in a candy store

[ShidaNatural]

I wasn't that bad really. I only purchased 1 hair product at full price. 1 at half price, and 1 was given to me cuz I'm a "blogger".

[elmo112078]

Ima have to go next year! It looked like you got a lot of good stuff!

[ShidaNatural]

I wish I could have bought more!

[vivacious1083]

Thanks for the footage! Making all of us that weren't there wish we would/could have come!

[ShidaNatural]

I couldn't wait to get this vid together 4 my YT family

[ComyaBee]

Thank you sooo much for posting. I wanted to go badly I live in Staten Island about a 31/2 hr ride. I found out at the last minute and hand noone to go with. So glad you posted thanks again. I love the you tube sisterhood.

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, it was a real nice event. I especially like being able to network with all the hair products reps & business owners that were there, and meeting some of my subscribers. The International (muli-cultural) hair & beauty show is coming to Secaucus, NJ on 5/17/09 & 5/18/09. I'm thinkin about going to that one as well. You can check out their site at ihshow(dotcom).

[NATURAL0708]

So happy you posted this, i was waiting.

[ShidaNatural]

I hope you enjoyed the video. :-)

[kellee24]

Great video I wanted to go just found out to late!

[ShidaNatural]

aww, i'm sorry you missed it. hopefully, you'll be able to go next year.

[Aspicedoll]

Your trip looked exciting, wish I could have been there. We need something like this in Houston. And your hair looked lovely.

[ShidaNatural]

It was exciting! I can't wait for the next hair show... and thanks for the comment. :-)

[LexiWithTheCurls]

That one looked more exciting than the Atlanta one lol. Your hair looked great. I might need to holla at Jeffrey. I want some twists. Nice vid

[ShidaNatural]

Who's Jeffrey? The guy's name who did my hair is Malik. I posted the weblink of the salon where he works in the description box. It's called Yaffa Studio, but I also have his personal cell # if you want it. Let him do you hair girl! He will give you a BAGING twistout! :-)

[epoladee]

did you happen to run up on any of the strange classes that were str8 doing Vodoo and crazey stuff like that. This one girl on youtube really freaked me out by showing some ancester worshipping classes she attended during the hair expo?!?!? OMG!

[ShidaNatural]

Didn't get caught up wit those classes after asking what they were, I knew I wasn't interested.Like Reiki, and some other Ancestry, Breathing, Harmony stuff... def have no interest in that stuff. I was there strictly 4 natural hair care & styling lol. I did attend Adornment class, which I was only 1, she was asking me wut my cleansing regimine was... I was like I take quick shower morning. She was like, you don't bathe & cleanse? I was like I have 3 kids, a hubby & a dog. Who has time for that!

[ShidaNatural]

I know... You weren't the only one. The editing is no joke! I was up til 2 in the morning working on this video, and the hair show was only 2 day. Do you see why I haven't posted my 9 day vacation video yet? lol... I'll get it done thought.

[LiVeRNoOdLe]

I live in Philly and I'm definitely thinking of going to your sister's place :-)

[ShidaNatural]

u can check out some of Vicky's work via her myspace page at myspace(dot com)/myhairbiz

[curlmebella]

Looks like you had a ball!!!! Thanks for sharing, Im going to have to schedule a few road trips for next year:-)

[FOXYJ84]

THIS WAS AN AWESOME VIDEO!!! Your twists out came out LOVELY!!! and i love that hair jewelry you had in your hair when you were rocking your puff!!! too cute... I might have to check out that hair salon as well!!!

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, u should check out Malik. He's really good (AND FAST)! I have his personal cell # if you want to make an appointment with him. Just let me know.

[FOXYJ84]

ok cool and I will defintely let you know!!

[hollyhollyrose]

I've heard of "my gel" but I've still haven't given it a try.

[ShidaNatural]

It is worth a try... After using it (on dry hair) to slick my front, it kept my hair slicked and moist. It didn't work so good when I tried it on wet hair, but that may have been because I had other product in my hair. I may or may not do a complete review of the product again.

[hollyhollyrose]

Thanks for the information. I'll have to pick up a sample size.

[CrAzYgUrL2k3]

Tell me why i was looking for you.....and did not see you however, i just saw myself and my sister in your video!!

[ShidaNatural]

You did???... lol. That is so funny! I wish I could have me you. Which frame did you see you and your sis?

[CrAzYgUrL2k3]

0:59 She's tearing that funnel cake up ! Lol.  She has on a cream and brown sun dress and i have on a brown, pink, white, and blue dress.

[ShidaNatural]

I love your dress! I said that to myself when I was viewing my video even before you commented. Maybe we'll meet up next year.

[CrAzYgUrL2k3]

Thanks!!

[SheSingsLovely]

No you did not park at that McDonalds next door lol. At 7:29 that guy that was watching you get your hair done was there both days too! He was rocking his locs and purse. His hair was gorgeous. Great video...It really showed the relaxed environment of the expo.

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, didn't he have some nice purses? You can tell they weren't cheap either, and his locs are gorgeous. Girl, I was hungry!... so b4 heading home, yes, I stopped to get some Mickey D's... lol

[rlcarson1]

Did you get the mygel? Review coming? lol

I've looked at it for two years at the Atlanta show but the price stopped me from trying it on a whim. lol

[ShidaNatural]

The actual review of the My Gel product is in the video response video to this video. My Gel is pretty much like Let's Jam except is has more natural ingredients than Let's Jam. I used it on wet hair, then on dry hair, and I got better slicking results when I applied it to dry hair.

[rlcarson1]

Thanks Shida, Not sure how I missed that considering i'm a ShidaNatural video addict. lol

[ShidaNatural]

A ShidaNatural video addict huh... lol. That's funny.

[AsiaDiamond]

I'm so in love with the hair adornments. I'm definitly going next year! That looked like so much fun

[ShidaNatural]

It was a lot of fun... You should definitely try and go next year.

[ayamejoy]

awesome! That's so cool that you can get your hair done at the hair show along with seeing all those booths.

[ShidaNatural]

It was very cool, especially when I didn't have to pay for the hairstyle. =)

[ayamejoy]

Even Better!

[MahoganyCurls]

that looks as if it wasso fun! You look so cute!

[ShidaNatural]

It was fun MaghoganyCurls, and thank you boo boo. ;-)
