Glitzy Coilz Presents: THESE CURLZ AINT LOYAL


I am finally pleased to share the pics from my second #naturalhair event. This event was called THESE CURLZ AINT LOYAL. This workshop was geared toward the woes of natural hair. Natural hair is a beautiful thing but there are times when the tangles and shrinkage can be a bit much.

When you are having a not so wonderful hair day, headwraps, turbans and scarves can be a lifesaver. I provided each attendee with stretchy jersey fabric to practice tying a headwrap. They took their beautiful fabric home to get some extra practice.



I've never tied a headwrap without a mirror before. LOL!



Glitzy Coilz (me) demonstrating how to combat shrinkage with stretching techniques.


Perfect example of THESE CURLZ AINT LOYAL. It was a rainy day but I had a cute twistout before the event started and now I have a fluffy poof. hahaha.


Time for another door prize!!!



Practice makes Perfect!


 The facial expressions that go along with the struggle. lol


Sharing natural hair recipes to make whipped shea butter and pomade. 100% ALL NATURAL ingredients.



We passed the finished products around the room to smell and sample. 





My hair ended up in a ponytail half way through the workshop. LOL
I gave away all the samples as door prizes.
