Happy (Belated ) New Year Y’all!!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and survived the blizzards. Now that it’s warmed up a bit lets get the natural hair ball rolling. The venue is to be announced after you RSVP. To join this meetup group visit: http://naturalhair.meetup.com/37/

Looking forward to seeing you all again and if your a newbie Looking forward to meeting you!

Let’s make this a swap meet again. If you’ve got product that you don’t really love but think that someone else will bring it along. If your making hair products and want to bring samples fell free!

Lots of love

I “hennaed” this weekend again. It was my 4th attempt and my first attempt with Jamila henna. I know a lot of bloggers out there seem to love the henna, but for me, we have to break up. And it’s not me, it’s henna. It has been 5 days since my henna treatment, (which was a mix of henna honey, yogurt, herb infused water and a little olive oil.) 5 days! And my hair still feels like straw. But more worryingly is that there is some serious breaking going on. When I detangled tonight the amount of hair that came out was comparable to when I would take my extensions out. Not a good sign.

This kind of make me sad because the color of my hair this time turned out really nice. It glows a really bright red in the sun, and when I wore my hair in my “PinUp Girl” style I felt like a cute, brown Lucille Ball.

Bottom line though: Henna treats me bad, so no matter how cute it appears to be, we gotta break up.

That and it keeps turning my fingers orange no matter how careful I am with the gloves… this week the nail buffer has been my best friend. Orange tinted nails are not pretty on me… how about you?

The last meet up went great- so we’re gonna do it again. The date is set for Thursday April 23. If you’re not a member, join by clicking the little widget thing in the sidebar—————–>
It will take you to the Official London Meetup group where you can sign up. Don’t worry it’s free!
I will announce the venue next via email once I get an idea of numbers.
Can’t wait to see everyone again!

What can I say other than it was a great night! It was incredibly to meet everyone. 22 people came to share their natural hair and locks stories. And everyone agreed we should do it more often. Hurray! So I’ll be planning this weekend the next meetup- it should be in 4- to 6 weeks. If you want to join just click on the link in the side bar on the right.

Here are a few pics from last night:

I don’t know where the time has flown to but the Natural Hair and Sisterlocks meetup is now only three days away! I have reserved an entire area at Cubana, because it looks as though 22 naturals are attending! I can’t wait to meet everyone.

I just sent an email out to everyone attending with more details on how to get there. Any questions, or if you have to cancel, drop me an email at hi@cherrylola.com

Thanks dolls and I’ll see you there!
